Congressional Research II

Make sure you've finished Friday's assignment (or the HW for the weekend)

Go to realclearpolitics.com.

On the right, you'll see a box that says  "SENATE HOUSE GOVERNOR".

Scroll through the Senate races.  You can click on each state to get specifics on the race, including a race summary.  Pick 5 you will follow during this fall.  Make sure they come from at least four regions of the US.

The regions are: 
Northeast--all of New England, NY, and NJ (8)
Mid-Atlantic--PA, DE, MD, VA, WVA, NC (6)
Southeast--SC, GA, FL, AL, TN, KY, MS, LA (8)
Old Northwest Territory--OH, IN, IL, MI, WI, MN (6)
Plains:  AR, ND, SD, NE, Iowa, MO, KS, OK (8)
The Mountains:  MT, CO, UT, WY, ID (5)
The Southwest:  TX, AZ, NM, NV (4)
The Pacific:  CA, OR, WA, AK, HI (5)

Send me an email stating which races you're going to follow, and what caught your attention about the race:  why are you following it?  (This can be 1-3 sentences per race).

Finish for HW.
