PEC - High-leverage target races for 2012
As I have described at the Princeton Election Consortium, the closest races are where your donations are most effective. Among President/Senate/House, the closest question is who will control the House.
Although Senate control is no longer in question, some individual Senate races are in play, including Heitkamp, Carmona, and Tester.
