The Fix is now ranking the race to replace GOP Rep. Jim Ramstad at tenth. Here's the dirt:

10. Minnesota's 3rd district: Republicans are extremely high on the chances of state Sen. Erik Paulsen who has cleared the primary field in the race to replace Rep. Jim Ramstad (R). Democrats seem unlikely to do the same as state Sen. Terri Bonoff, Iraq war veteran Ashwin Madia and Edina Mayor Jim Hovland are all seeking their party's nomination. The district is a prime swing area -- President Bush won it with 51 percent in 2004 and 50 percent in 2000 -- and is dominated by the suburbs, a place where Democrats believe they can make serious gains in 2008.
