FILE - In this Aug. 11, 2010, file photo, Rep. Charles Rangel, center D-N.Y., left, is joined onstage by his wife Alma, center, and daughter Alicia Rangel, during his birthday fundraiser at the Plaza Hotel in New York.

(AP Photo/Mary Altaffer, File)AP - It sounds like a political grudge match for the ages: Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel, battered by ethics charges and stripped of his chairmanship of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, defending his seat against Adam Clayton Powell IV, son of the legendary Harlem lawmaker Rangel ousted 40 years ago.
