Indictments, investigations and allegations of wrongdoing have helped put at least 15 Republican House seats in jeopardy, enough to swing control to the Democrats on Tuesday even before the larger issues of war, economic unease and President Bush are invoked.
Here's the complete list provided by the Post:
Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL)
Rep. Robert W. Ney (R-OH
Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA)
Rep. Don Sherwood (R-PA)
Rep. Rick Renzi (R-AZ)
Rep. Jon Porter (R-NV)
Rep. Richard W. Pombo (R-CA)
Rep. John T. Doolittle (R-CA)
Rep. Thomas M. Reynolds (R-N.Y.)
Rep. Deborah Pryce (R-OH)
Rep. Sue W. Kelly (R-NY)
Rep. Heather A. Wilson (R-NM)
Rep. Katherine Harris (R-FL)
Rep. John E. Sweeney (R-NY)
Rep. Christopher Shays (R-CT)
Throw in Senator Conrad Burns, a Republican from Montana, as well as already disgraced and resigned Republican Reps. Tom DeLay (TX) and Duke Cunningham (CA), and the list gets even longer.
Roll Call, for those of you playing along at home, even has produced this handy one-pager that you can print out and share with your friends!
Now... just imagine how long the list might be it the House Ethics Committee had been doing its job for the past 5 years!
UPDATE: More analysis here.
UPDATE II: Do we need to add Sen. Joe Lieberman to the list?
