commentary on Politics and a little bit of everything else

The 2010 House and Senate elections, as they look right now from the Cook Political Report shop….

The Democrats holding the House, and “a wash” to minimal gains in the Senate and Governor races?……

For me…it’s to darn early to write off the Senate or Governor races from the dem’s….but he makes a living doing it…..

Here’s their  current call over at the Cook’s Political Report……..

In an email, Charlie Cook summarizes the Cook Political Report’s midterm election forecast with just about eleven months to go:

“Our House Editor, David Wasserman, estimates, based on what we know today, that Republicans will make a 20-30 seat net gain in the House. A month or so ago, he judged that it would be a 15-25 seat pickup for the GOP. To hit a 41-seat net gain, which would flip control of the House, would necessitate more Democratic retirements in tough districts. There would need to be perhaps seven to ten more members like John Tanner and Bart Gordon of Tennessee, Dennis Moore of Kansas and Brian Baird of Washington.”

“Our Senate/Governor Editor, Jennifer Duffy, currently estimates that the range of outcomes in the Senate could run from a wash, with neither party gaining a net seat on the other, up to a three seat gain for Republicans. In the gubernatorial races, she sees the same likely outcome, a wash to a GOP gain of three seats.”

This is from Politico……..
