I'm not optimistic enough to believe that this automatically costs the GOP the House - but then again, it doesn't help them either. At all.

Massie is the congressman for my district. I guess he figured he's in enough electoral trouble that he didn't want to dig himself in deeper. On the other hand, his opponent hasn't done a shred of campaigning.

Bandit, I'm curious.  If you were to give ratings for all of KY's congressional districts(Guthrie, Massie, Barr, Rogers, etc.), for 2014, what would your ratings be [as in, tossup, tilt R/D, lean R/D, etc.)

I'd put it about like so...

KY-1 - Lean R
KY-2 - Lean R
KY-3 - Solid D
KY 4 - Lean R (but it will become solid R if the Democrat doesn't start campaigning or move left)
KY 5 - Solid R
KY 6 - Lean D

Not quite as unrealistic as I'd expected from you, but still unrealistic.

In my scenario, only one seat flips - and it's in Lexington.
