INDIANA

(10 seats: 6R, 4D / Clinton 1996: 42%, -7, down 1)

After the 1990 elections, Democrats held eight of Indiana's ten House seats. After 1998, they could be down to as few as one seat or up to five seats. Regardless, five seats are very safe, with four Republicans and one Democrat representing districts that strongly match their party.
