Democrats Lead By A Mile...

...but not in the way they'd hope.
National Journal has compiled a list spotlighting the
60 hottest House races to watch this fall. As I scrolled through it, I couldn't help but notice a trend: Almost every single contested seat listed is currently in Democratic hands.
In fact, 54 of
NJ's 60 seats--90 percent--belong to Democrats; just six to Republicans (and two of those seats are open because the current GOP occupant is running for US Senate, and
leading in
the polls).
