| Description | After Arizona Democrat Harry E. Mitchell’s upset victory last year over six-term Republican J.D. Hayworth, GOP officials are vowing to target Mitchell for defeat in 2008 in the state’s 5th District, which includes Scottsdale and Tempe and has a slight Republican lean.
Numerous Republicans are considering the race. The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), which will oversee party strategy for winning back the seat, is targeting Mitchell with a Web site, The Real Harry Mitchell. The site outlines what Republicans say is Mitchell’s near-unanimous agreement on House votes with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California, whom GOP officials say is a liability for Democrats in politically competitive districts. |
