House Races in which the 2008 Winner is Not Running


This is a list of House seats in which the 2008 winner is not going to be running in 2010. Some are open seats and some were filled by special elections. Open seats like these tend to be especially competitive unless the PVI (Charlie Cook's Partisan Voting Index) is very skewed one way or another, say D+10 or higher or R+10 or higher. All the district names are hyperlinked, either to a story about the race (if competitive) or a map of the district (if not). The colors represent the party that won in 2008.
