By Wendy Long, August 14, 2012
Since the financial crisis began in 2008, four proposals for financial-industry reform have emerged. Only one will work, and it’s not the one imposed by the 2010 Dodd-Frank law. Let’s review the options.

You can narrow the results by state and it has a very nice grid that shows gains as well as wins. It’s very good, their election stuff is always excellent.

My state, NJ is horrible. The Times has it Dems expect to win easily/dems expected to win narrowly/toss-ups/Rs expected to win easily/Rs expected to win narrowly
In NJ EVERYONE is expected to win easily (except for one toss-up open seat which did go R) and they all did, with at least 55% of the vote. We are so gerrymandered in this state, it’s a disgrace.
