Missouri
9 seats: 4R, 5D R 51
Richard Gephardt was the only Missouri incumbent to win by a margin of less than
25% in 1998, and all incumbents are likely to win in 2000, including Ike Skelton
in one of the most Republican-leaning districts represented by a Democrat. Three
of nine seats are open; Pat Danner's district is very vulnerable to a Republican
win.
