Gazette looks at the Iowa house races:

In a year when national political observers expect there to be only a couple of dozen truly hot races, two of Iowa's three (sic) U.S. House races are on the watch lists of news organizations, such as Congressional Quarterly, and a third - the 2nd District - shows some promise of heating up, they say.

The race for the seat Republican U.S. Rep. Jim Nussle has held since 1990 is considered to be one of the three hottest U.S. House races in the country...

Actually, there's five races, but who's counting?
