Now that the dust has settled on the Massachusetts Senate Special (ugh) it is time to turn our minds back to candidate filing.
Below the fold for all the details and hey go check out the 2010 Race Tracker Wiki over at Open Congress for all your House, Senate and Gubernatorial needs.
Candidate filing has closed in Kentucky and West Virginia with a full slate for both parties (boring but true)!
For the Democrats:
KY-01 (Whitfield) - R+15,
KY-02 (Guthrie) - R+15,
KY-04 (Davis) - R+14,
KY-05 (Rogers) - R+15,
WV-02 (Capito) - R+8,
And for the GOP:
KY-03 (Yarmuth) - D+2,
KY-06 (Chandler) - R+9,
WV-01 (Mollohan) - R+9,
WV-03 (Rahall) - R+6,
So for those of us that take notice of these things the progressive totals in states where candidate filing has closed is 6 Unopposed GOP House Reps and 2 unopposed Democratic House Reps.
And finally candidate filing season is open in Indiana. If you assume that all House incumbents recontest then as of the posting of this diary we have candidates in every district except the 3rd & 6th and the GOP every district but the 7th.
The next two states up after that are New Mexico and Ohio.
