The youngest House delegation?

Nevada could have the country's youngest House delegation in 2010. Consider the following:

State Sen. Dina Titus (D-Henderson) appears to be in a good position to unseat U.S. Rep. Jon Porter (R-Henderson), and it's not outside the realm of possibility that Democratic challenger Jill Derby could defeat U.S. Rep. Dean Heller (R-Carson City).

If that happens and Democrats sweep all three House seats, it could set up an interesting situation in two years.

Whether or not Gov. Jim Gibbons (R-Sparks) runs for re-election in 2010 is irrelevant. If he runs, there will likely be a bruising primary, and if not there will be an open seat. Either way, it would be an enticing prize for Democrats -- and potentially for all three House Democrats --  considering the state's shifting demographics.

Titus could end up being a one-term representative. She has challenged Gibbons in the past and was expected to challenge him again in 2010 until she decided to pursue Porter's seat. And U.S. Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-Las Vegas) insists she has no desire for statewide office, but then again, so does almost everyone who goes on to run for statewide office.

If all three House members run in the primary for the gubernatorial seat, then under this admittedly unlikely scenario, there could be three freshmen filling the state's House seats in 2010, and another in 2012 when the state picks up an additional seat after the census.
