Read the full list here. Today's featured district is:
Virginia 11th – Rep. Gerry Connolly (D) is seeking a 2nd term
Primary: June 8, 2010
Location: Northern Virginia/D.C. suburbs
Days until Election Day: 90
Though Virginia's 11th district has no greater strategic importance or significance than any of the other 434 congressional districts in the nation, Republicans would probably still get an extra kick out of defeating its freshman congressman, Democrat Gerry Connolly.
