Thread: House Races: Any Interesting?

I know the 2007 Amnesty Bill didn't come up for a vote in the House. Here are some links to sites that show potentially competitive districts:

These races look like there might be GOP Primary worth investigating:

AZ 1 Renzi retiring
FL 16 Mahoney D
IL 11 Weller retiring
MN 3 Ramstad retiring
NJ 3 Saxton retiring
NJ 7 Ferguson retiring
NM 1 Wilson retiring
NC 8 Hayes R
OH 15 Pryce retiring
OH 16 Regula retiring
NY 25 Walsh retiring

Illinois' 10th district leans GOP but voted for Kerry and Obama in 2004. Neither of the candidates, the incumbent Mark Kirk (R) nor the challenger Dan Seals (D) even addresses the issue of immigration on their official websites.
