The Tennessee House of Representatives is undergoing far less scrutiny than is the Senate during this election season. In fairness to political writers across the state, that would likely not be the case if the balance of political party power were closer to being tipped. Imagine that the House contained 49 Democrats, 49 Republicans, and 1 Independent.

Nail-biter in District 2, perhaps?

With about a quarter of the votes counted, incumbent Chip Baker leads challenger Joe Dumas by a mere 40 votes, 678-638. Obviously this is what Chuck Todd would label "too early to call," but it could be the best race of the night to watch. Stay tuned.

UPDATE: with 40% in, Dumas takes the lead by approximately 53% to Baker's 47%.
