Race Summary
President Bush barely won Rep. Mike Ferguson's district, stretching from suburban New York to the Pennsylvania border, and Ferguson came surprisingly close to losing himself. National Democrats are excited for -- and spending money on -- a second run by State Assemblywoman Linda Stender (D), who has outraised State Senator Leonard Lance (R) by a three-to-one margin.
