House races in 2010

With 257 of the 435 U.S. House seats, Democrats are strongly favored to retain their majority in the 2010 elections -- though history points to party losses in the first midterm election of President Obama.

Most of the 435 congressional districts have such well-entrenched incumbents that the 2010 House races there will be landslides. But CQ Politics has preliminarily identified 100 districts, 59 of which are held by Democrats, where the contests should be highly or mildly competitive. Of these, CQ Politics rates three districts, all now held by Republicans, as leaning toward takeover by the challenging party: Louisiana 2, Pennsylvania 6 and Illinois 10.

1. Doesn't sound like it's shaping up to be a repeat of 1994......yet

I doubt it will either, particularly if Obama is able to get some kind of health insurance reform through. The public would have to be simultaneously lobotomized to consider putting the Repukes back in charge ANYWHERE at the federal level after the past eight years IMHO.
