Here is a look at the three biggest federal races. We'll include more races later on, if they're close, as the night develops. The Republican primary race in CD-22 to run against Congressman Nick Lampson is below the fold.
Here in Texas, there's been a major split around the controversial Speaker of the House, Rep. Tom Craddick. These four Democrats (highlighted in red), who supported Speaker Craddick, drew challengers, and whether or not they win or lose -- coupled with other key TX House races we're watching in other threads -- could signal the potential defeat of Speaker Craddick.

The battle over the Speaker's race is being fought out in the TX House, as well. Here are some of the key races that will give us an indicator of how Speaker Tom Craddick is doing across the state. All of the incumbents on this list supported Craddick, except for the last one, Haggerty.

The "Craddick D" races aren't the only races to watch. Several incumbent Democrats have been targeted by conservatives this cycle in their primaries, as many conservative consultants run "shadow" pro-Craddick campaigns in the TX primary. Here is a look at those races as well. For space purposes, several of these races are above the fold (Miles vs. Edwards, Escobar, Moreno races) and several others are below the fold. We'll adjust this as the night goes on and we know which races become a priority.
