Republicans head into the midterm election with the clear upper hand in the battle for control of the House. Political handicappers give Democrats virtually no shot at erasing the 17-seat deficit separating them from the speaker’s gavel.
But that doesn’t mean there will be a shortage of races with fascinating dynamics. From a primary pitting Silicon Valley against the Democratic establishment, to an upstate New York race featuring an openly gay venture capitalist with a Rolodex of famous friends, to a Georgia race in which a savvy Democratic pol will be put to the test, this year will spotlight dozens of headline-grabbing races. And it won’t take long for the action to begin: A March special election for a Florida congressional seat will attract plenty of attention from both parties.
