I only have two for you today, but one of them is amoung the most important for this years election.
But we must start with Indiana. John McCain should have little trouble in picking up Indiana's 11 electoral votes. It is a very reliable state for the GOP and anything other than a GOP win would be a suprise. There is a governor race heating up though, as Mitch Daniels, Jr. will be battling out Jill Long Thompson for the Governor's Mansion. It is currently rated as a Weak GOP Hold, but this is a race that I think the Incumbant will pull away as things move forward.
Then there is the Ultra-Battleground of Iowa. This state has switched colors for the last two election cycles and it should come down to the wire once again in 2008. For the time being, Iowa goes into the hands of the Democrat as the Republicans look to rebuff in the next election. As for the senate race, Tom Harkin should cruise to a victroy again. There is a serious house race to look into. District 2 was an mega suprise as David Loebsack came from no-man's land to shock the Republican. Although there are not any present candidates, this normally heavy GOP district should see a tough battle into election day.
Stay tuned for: Kansas, Kentucky, and possibly more

Look at IA02 demographics. I think you will find it is not a heavily GOP district.
your right, IA02 used to favor the GOP, if by a pretty small margin. That has certainly changed. I guess the real suprise was the upset that took plcae there. I mean, CNN didn't even have it as a race that had a chance to switch sides. It still should be an fun race to look at either way.
