House Update: You Don't Speak English?

Businesswoman Kathy Dahlkemper (D), who surprised many in winning a competitive Dem primary, knocked off Rep. Phil English (R-PA 03), winning 52-48%.

Dahlkemper proved to be a very attractive candidate in this blue-collar CD, as her socially conservative positions, combined by her populist rhetoric, made her the perfect Dem against English.

Meanwhile, in upstate NY, '06 nominee Eric Massa (D) also defeated a sitting GOPer -- Randy Kuhl (R-29) -- winning 51-49%. Kuhl won a mirror 51-49% victory in '06.

Meanwhile, in AL-05, state Sen. Parker Griffith (D) kept conservative Rep. Bud Cramer's (D) seat in Dem hands, defeating '94/'96 nominee Wayne Parker (R) 52-48%.

Dems have now netted 10 seats in the House tonight.
