WED 11/18 | It turns out that the C Street home of The Family is not really a church deserving of nonprofit status after all. Looks like rent hikes are in store for residents including Sen. Jim DeMint (D-S.C.) and Rep. Zach Wamp (R-Tenn.).

It's been over two months since we last took stock of the open seat situation in the House, so, once again, our crack team of open seat forensic analysts down at SSP Labs have put together a new edition of the 2010 House Open Seat Watch.
