I live in a one of the most conservative Republican areas in a longtime blue state. While Obama will very likely carry the presidential election here, I am very interested to see the outcome of our local Congressional race. The 8-term Republican incumbent (ironically a vocal proponent of term limits when he was first elected in '94) is being challenged by the former Democratic mayor of the largest city in the county, which has been turning more and more blue in recent years.
The incumbent will probably win, but there's growing sentiment that he's had enough time in office and it's time for him to go. I'll be waiting to see if that opinion is strong enough to boot him out of office.
