Our colleague, Rick Green, weighs in on one of the biggest questions in politics this fall: can the Democrats hold the U.S. House of Representatives?
Rep. John B. Larson, the fourth-highest-ranking member of the House Democratic caucus, says they can. But numerous political prognosticators say that the national winds are trending toward the Republicans in a year when President Barack Obama is not on the ballot.
Larson is running this year in the Democratic-dominated First Congressional District against Republican Ann Brickley and Green Party candidate Kenneth Krayeske.
