Washington Post: Second Congressional District 'Surprisingly Competitive'
The fate of the U.S. House of Representatives rests on a few battleground districts, including Minnesota's Second Congressional District, according to the Post.
Rep. John Kline's (R) race against Democratic challenger Mike Obermueller has caught the eye of the Washington Post.
Minnesota's Second Congressional District may be "surprisingly competitive" this year, according to a May 11 article in the Post highlighting battleground districts across the country.
Kline "drew the short straw" in redistricting, the Post said, and faces tighter re-election chances. The Post also cited the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's through its Red to Blue Emerging Races program as a factor.
