Revision as of 00:00, September 14, 2009
, 00:00, September 14, 2009→Notable House Races
Titus unseated three-term Republican Jon Porter in 2008. Her 47% victory will make it likely Republicans will put up a strong challenger in 2010. Representing portions of [[Las Vegas]], the district has been hit hard with foreclosures, job losses, and lack of tourism. Whether Titus is reelected will probably be decided over President Obama and the Democratic majority's handling of the [[economy]].

===New Hampshire===
*'''Carol Shea-Porter (D) of New Hampshire's 1st congressional district:'''
After being elected in a political upset in 2006, Carol Shea-Porter was heavly targeted by Republicans in 2008, but won by a 52%-46% margin. She still faced a tough reelection campaign in a Democratic sweep year. Republicans have recruited a strong candidate in 2010, Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta. Additionally, many feel that Shea-Porter is too liberal for the swing district.
*'''New Hampshire's 2nd congressional district - open seat:'''
Democratic Representative Paul Hodes has announced he will not seek a third term in the House and run for the United States Senate. After Barack Obama won a 13-point victory in the 2nd district, Democrats as of now have the edge to keep the seat. Lobbyist Ann McLane Kuster will seek the Democratic nomination. Radio talk show host Jennifer Horn may run as a Republican.
