Who Is Worried About Reelection Chances in 2010?

Warning Signal

(Fox News) - Congressional Democrats are warning the party could suffer heavy losses in the 2010 election.

The Politico newspaper reports Democratic House campaign chief Chris Van Hollen says in a year-end Web video: "We are looking at potentially... 70 threatened Democrats who will need our support." The nonpartisan Cook Political Report places 48 Democrats in prospectively competitive races in 2010.

Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal reports Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is worried about his own reelection fight in 2010. Reid has already started interviewing campaign managers and has stepped up his fundraising efforts.
