About OH, yeah no.

OH-1 has a PVI of R+6, OH-2 is R+9, OH-6 is R+9, OH-10 is R+2 with Turner as an established incumbent. OH-14 is R+3, OH-16 is Jim Renacci, not Stivers, and does not include any of Cuyahoga County, which is where Kucinich is (he's in the 9th). Considering that your POD was April 12, DeWine had already filed for AG, as had FitzGerald/Neuhardt for Gov/LtGov.

I'don't remember actually giving any specific date as a point of departure...

As for Democrats winning impossible seats, here and in Pennsylvania... There's a good chance most of them won't be back in 2016.

Uhh, why is DWS running far to the north in Lois Frankel's district?

I probably just mistyped the District #... Frankel isn't getting specific mention, because she isn't retiring nor was her race at any point competitve.

Welcome Back, I'm Katie Couric and you are watching continuing coverage of the 2014 midterm elections.


At this time we can project that the incumbent, Scott Walker will win re-election as Governor of Wisconsin. Walker who in the most recent 2016 polling for the Iowa Caucuses has a three point lead over fellow Wisconsinite Paul Ryan and five points over New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (Rasmussen, November 2, 2014), has escaped two major challenges in a row, from Tom Barrett in the 2012 recalls and now former Senator Russ Feingold ina dramatically tight race. At this time we project the Wisconsin State Senate will go from a 18-15 GOP majority to a 19-14 GOP Majority, as the Republicans picked up the seat of retiring Representative Kathleen Vinehout (who was defeated by Feingold in the Democratic Primary), and the less closely watch  Wisconsin State Assembly will have a smaller Republican majority, going from a 60-39 GOP edge to a 58-41 GOP edge, with Democrats picking up the seats of Samantha Kerkman (who was elected Treasurer, and Gary Bies (Who lost the Secretary of State Primary to Sheila Harsdorf).
