Republican Sodrel To Take On Democrat Hill, Once Again
Former Rep. Mike Sodrel (R-IN) announced last night that he will once again take on Democratic Rep. Baron Hill, in what will be the fourth consecutive House election match-up between the two men.
Sodrel, a wealthy trucking executive, narrowly lost to Hill in 2002, but won by a razor-thin margin in 2004, and then narrowly lost again to Hill's 2006 comeback attempt. Despite losing more times than he's won, Sodrel always brings a close and hard-fought race for the GOP, and national Democrats will likely have to shift some resources to the district in order to retain the seat.
“A lot of voters voted for change in 2006,” Sodrel said. “I don’t think higher taxes, more spending and more programs were what they had in mind.”

Jeez, fourth time's a charm? Wonder what Dan Bartlett has to say about it.

House Republicans got more good news as a strong recruit jumped in the race in NM-01.

Neither Hill or Sodrel has had much of a chance to do much in the House because they are always having to worry about holding on to their seat.
Maybe we should consider raising the term for the House of Representatives from two to four years. It could be set up so that that the terms are staggered so one-half of the House would always be up for re-election every two years. A common complaint of House members is that they have to start running for re-election the moment they move into their office.

Hmm...nothing like starting off your campaign with a lie.
What taxes have been raised since 2006?
