Laundry list of Race Rating changes from Cook

This list is entirely made up of shifts in favor of Democrats, seems mostly reactionary to fundraising reports.  

The single-handedly biggest surprise to me is the shift of KS-02 from Toss Up to Lean Democrat.  Boyda got killed in fundraising, and he still bounced the race in her favor…  He obviously is seeing more there than we are.  

There are 25 shifts, that filled up his entire “Recent History” list.  It makes me wonder if there were more than 25 and I can’t see the rest because I’m not a subscriber.

  1. MD-01 to tossup?  Surprising but good to see.  Same with MO-09.

    KS-02 moved from tossup to leand D the day after Boyda releases a horrible fundraising report?  That’s a bit odd.

    Many of the other moves just seem to be clearing up the dem held seats.  Many of those he previously had rated have long since been locks for us to hold, such as GA-12.

  2. DELAWARE | Governor: Likely Democrat to Solid Democrat

    MISSOURI | Governor: Toss Up to Lean Democrat

    Both are logical.  We’re up by about 30 points plus in Delaware and Nixon has a huge lead in Missouri.

  3. Even though Jenkins had a great quarter, Boyda’s still got more cash on hand- and it was just revealed Jenkins (the KS State Treasurer) mismanaged something like $15 million in gasoline taxes & she skipped out on all of the meetings of the state employee retirement system board to campaign during the last quarter- while the fund lost $1 billion.  

    Lynn Jenkins is going down fast and will need every penny and more to salvage herself.

  4. Glad to see CA-46 back on the map. Debbie may not have much COH against Rohrabacher, but that’s because they’ve been spending it on advertisments through the district. Also, I received this from the campaign today in the mail:

    The Capitol Weekly in Sacramento is reporting that GOP internal polling shows my  race against Dana Rohrabacher to be in a statistical dead heat.

    The article says:

    “According to GOP sources, internal polling shows the difference between Rohrabacher and Cook, the mayor of Huntington Beach, to be within the margin of error, although Rohrabacher has heavily outspent Cook.”

    We don’t have time to waste! Now is the time to put this campaign over the top. We need your donation now to fund our final mailing program, which will compliment our TV strategy.

    This race has definate potential, and Rohrbacher is scared. For the first time in decades, there are Rohrabacher for Congress signs, AND he is running commercials of his own… Which he only said that he would have to do if he entered panic mode. Well, Red Alert! Its panic time!
