Best pickup opportunities are TX-22 and TX-23.

Democrats have probably none.

In TX-22 I'm for Brian Klock. While he got in to the race late and does not show the money numbers he's actually raised he'd be a great guy to send to Washington.

You can see almost all of the TX-22 candidates speaking about immigration today here. For some reason Shelly Sekula Rodriguez Gibbs was not there.

Thats all for Texas. You can go to http://www.opensecrets.org/races/index.asp and pull each State up individually.

  Elections for the United States House of Representatives will be held on November 4, 2008, with all of the 435 seats in the House being contested.

I would think each State’s Secretary of State or which ever office is the State Elections Office.

Very few of the races are competitive at all. Only the reelctions of Nick Lampson and Ciro Rodriguez are in doubt.

Great Post and good info. We should do this to all of the races in every single state! It is time for us to turn our attention to the Senate and House races in order to shore up our conservative principles against the onslaught that is sure to follow this years Presidential race.
