several positions up for 'grabs.' No serious repug challenges, a few intra-Dem including MD governor. (DC suburbs of MD.)

I'm old enough to remember ( just barely) the upstart Rangel upsetting fabled "bad boy" Adam Clayton Powell.

Rangel's 84. Gives hope to kids like me. He's been good on BIG ISSUES over the decades.

He's been somewhat naughty re. using his influence for perks. But in this state, that's *child's* play.

Not my district. Polls show him up by 13. It seems to hinge on race/ethnicity, rather than issues.

I think Rangel will win by a whisker.
