WASHINGTONRep. Dan Boren, the only Democrat in Oklahoma’s congressional delegation, has been targeted by the national Republican Party, despite his electoral success in his eastern Oklahoma district and a large amount of campaign cash.

Boren, of Muskogee, appears on a list of 80 House Democrats the National Republican Congressional Committee is aiming to defeat in next year’s elections.

Gary Jones, chairman of the Oklahoma Republican Party, said Tuesday that six Republicans in the 2nd congressional district have said they want to run next year. He called them "very talented, well-educated individuals.”

Despite being about 70 percent registered Democrats, Boren’s district voted overwhelmingly last year for Sen.
