One of the most interesting House races this year will be in my district - the 4th Congressional District of NY - where incumbant Carolyn McCarthy (D- Hempstead) will be challenged by James Garner (R- Hempstead) the mayor of the Town of Hempstead, the largest town in America.
Garner is black. The district is overly middle class with a mix of both poor and rich areas.
He could win this seat. It's a bit of a longshot now, since McCarthy is still popular and hasn't done anything to warrant losing her seat - but the idea of sending the only black Republican to congress might entice people to vote for him. The 4th District is still an area where Republicans outnumber Democrats by a fairly large margin.
