Ric Keller (R-FL). Consistently against us. Appears he'll have strong challengers in 2008.

I used to live in this guy's district; here's some info on him that may help. He's very pro-business, most of his big issues revolve around cutting taxes and shielding corporations from civil lawsuits. Like most southern Republicans, he keeps in close step with the religious right. He has little in common with libertarian conservatism, and one of his main issues is preventing people from downloading music from the internet.
His district is gerrymandered in his favor, but it does contain some urban areas and one of the largest college campuses in the nation (UCF). Much as young poker players at Ohio State helped to unseat Leach, poker players at UCF could have a similar effect.
In the past Keller has benefited from running against weak competition. He comes off as an intellectual lightweight by taking stands on goofy issues and exhibiting below-average debate skills. He's also extraordinarily creepy looking. In the current political climate, a well funded non-stupid Democrat has a good shot at unseating him.
Congressman or Child Molester?
