DCCC Shortlist Boswell, Not IA Freshmen

DCCC Shortlist Boswell, Not IA Freshmen

DCCC announces 29 members for "Frontline" program for the 2008 cycle - Frontline sounds like a news magazine show... call it what you will, it's the short list for defense.

Iowa freshmen Bruce Braley and Dave Loebsack are not on the list - DC must think they're OK compared to the 21 true freshman and the three red shirts who were out for a term.

But six-term incumbent Leonard Boswell, who won by only six points last year, is one of only five re-elected incumbents on the short list. Boswell is listed with narrow second term winner Melissa Bean (IL) and three members from Texas and Georgia who survived gerrymanders.
