The retirement of 21-term incumbent (and Appropriations Chair) David Obey has opened up one of the GOP’s prized districts in 2010

From 1978 to 2004, only 3 of the 14 elections in the 8th District were decided by less than 10 points; during the last two election cycles, the district has been one of the most competitive in the nation

Democrats have failed to field a candidate against Sensenbrenner six times during his 16 victorious congressional campaigns

Wisconsin’s 6th CD only has a +4 GOP Partisan Voting Index tilt, making it just the 190th most Republican district in the nation

Baldwin’s district is the 71st most Democratic in the nation

Wisconsin’s 3rd CD has been the 157th most Democratic U.S. House District in the nation over the last two presidential election cycles
