For a Conservative Congress (U.S. House), Part 10
This will be part of an on-going series, which will identify key races where we either need to retain strong conservatives or to elect strong conservatives. My personal feeling with being faced with two inferior candidates for President offered by our major political parties, we must turn our attention to insuring more conservative American-values oriented persons are elected to the U.S. Congress.

Replace a Regula guy with a Sure Thing!
THE RACE
RealClearPolitics.com identifies this race (Ohio 16) as one of the top 10 races in the country this November to watch for its competitiveness. Why, because it is an open seat with Ralph Regula (R) retiring after 36 years in office. Rep. Regula's retirement could mean the end of Republican rule of the Canton-based district. While the seat leans Republican, the well-financed and highly-touted moderate state Sen. John Boccieri (D) is well-positioned against fellow state Sen. Kirk Schuring (R).
In examining Senator Schuring’s website the three issues that stand out to me are his position on energy, pro-life and pro-traditional marriage. To be fair, it seems like his opponent is not typical of the left wing radically influenced Democrat as seems so typical. The Democrat, can you believe it, espouses and even votes American values like a vote against partial-birth abortions. Wow, that IS unusual.
THE RATING
Both Schuring and Boccieri are Ohio State Senators. From the research I was able to do, it appears that Sen. Schuring is a bit more conservative, especially on energy and immigration issues than is his opponent, who considered by some as being moderate. A truly moderate Democrat seems to be more and more of a rarity in the unexplainable success of radical liberals such as Barack Hussein Obama, Joe Biden on the national level and Senator Sherrod Brown, Representative Dennis Kucinich, and Governor Ted Strickland on the state level.
THE REALITIES
This contest will be close. The national Democratic Party smells blood and Dem friendly PACs are pouring money into this race. Because of the money factor and because of the moderate (at least before being elected) positions of the Democratic candidate, this will be a close fight. It will be important for conservatives in congress to have this seat.
