JOHN MERCURIO'S RACES
 |
Minority Leader Tom Daschle's re-election bid in South Dakota is high on CNN Political Editor John Mercurio's top races-to-watch. Mercurio is also following the U.S. House race in Kentucky's 4th Congressional District, where Democrat Nick Clooney (father of actor George Clooney) goes against Republican Geoff Davis. The election to succeed Montana Gov. Judy Martz and how well Barack Obama does in his Illinois Senate race also have Mercurio's attention. John Mercurio's race-by-race breakdown
