\"\"<\/a>Mar<\/a>tin Heinrich<\/a> and Bill McCamley<\/a> are two of 24 Democratic House challengers across the nation who had more than $100,000 on hand at the end of the second quarter of 2007. <\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

A poster on the liberal blog MyDD<\/a> compiled the list of Democratic challengers to GOP incumbents who have that much cash. The poster doesn\u2019t report how much each has beyond $100,000, and he doesn\u2019t rank them, so I did, to get an idea of where Heinrich and McCamley stand.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t find Federal Election Commission<\/a> reports for all of the candidates listed, but I did for most, and at least 13 have more money on hand than Heinrich, who had almost $153,000 at the end of the quarter. At least 15 have more on hand than McCamely, who had just over $133,000.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Still, both are in roughly the top 20 Democratic challengers in the nation in terms of cash on hand.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

What\u2019s most interesting about the situation is that there are only nine Republican challengers to Democratic incumbents with more than $100,000 on hand at the end of the second quarter.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Heinrich and McCamley are currently part of a Democratic wave that helped the former minority party take control of Congress in 2006, a wave that is likely to continue through the 2008 election. Will it help either take down a GOP incumbent?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
