Given that Barack Obama won Rhode Island's 2nd district with 62 percent of the vote, this race will not have a competitive general election, but Democratic primary. Five-term Congressman Jim Langevin will face a challenge from State Representative Elizabeth Dennigan. Rhode Island currently suffers from a 12% unemployment rate, and Dennigan has attacked Langevin as being weak and ineffective.
