With 435 seats in the House of Representatives, it must take an intriguing match-up to rank as the number one race in America.  Well, that’s exactly what the 25^th District race is shaping up to be.  The Post Standard reports that the race to replace Rep. Jim Walsh takes such distinction.  Chris Cillizza, a political blogger for the Post, claims the 25^th district is the No. 1 House race this year and gives the edge to the Democratic nominee.  (AP Photo/Kevin Rivoli)
