This is the district held by Democratic freshman Jim Himes, and is listed as being in play by Cook (Likely Democrat). The primary’s coming up, but Rob took the time to talk to us:

Meet Dan Debicella (R CAND, CT-04).
He’s running in the CT-04 primary; his general election opponent would be freshman Jim Himes, (Cook rates the district as in play as Likely Democrat).

Meet Will Gregory (R CAND, CT-04).
Three new races to look at.
Drawing on and expanding from Jim Geraghty’s summary:
- IA-03. D+1. Leonard Boswell is the incumbent (first elected 1997); Cook currently does not list the district as in play (Likely Democratic). Former wrestler Jim Gibbons (no campaign website yet) has just announced; he’ll be facing former National Guard chopper pilot Dave Funk in the primary.
- MN-01. R+1. Tim Walz is the incumbent (first elected in 2006); Cook currently does not list the district as in play (probably because the Congressman won handily in 2008). Former state legislator (and lightning rod) Allen Quist has declared; he’ll be hammering Walz on the latter’s support of the ‘stimulus,’ cap-and-trade, and health care rationing.
- CT-04. D+5. Jim Hines is the incumbent (freshman); Cook currently lists the district as in play (Likely Democratic). Rick Torres (no campaign website yet) joins Rob Russo, Dan Debicella, Rob Merkle, & Will Gregory as competing for the Republican nomination.
Yup, the 2010 campaign season’s started. Time to start paying attention to your own, local races…
