It's kind of complicated - basically the Wyoming Supreme Court ruled term limits were unconstitutional with regards to some other state office (I forget which one) but didn't touch the Governor's office. 

Still, it's been assumed that the Governor's office term limits are unconstitutional, but Freundenthal would have to challenge it and he said he'd let us know by March.  The Republicans who control Wyoming have basically been happy with his leadership, so he might not get a serious challenge, who knows...

Made a few changes to the Senate races with the news.  Blumenthal makes CT Likely D for me and Hoeven makes ND Likely R for me until I see something which makes me think otherwise.  I also put MA at Likely R because even though I believe it's safe - races that I happen to believe are within 10 points I find very hard to put in Safe (i.e. it's a technical change).

My House race material is going to remain unchanged for the next few weeks until all the fundraising stuff comes in - but there are going to be changes when it occurs.

Why do you see Pat Tiberi as being so vulnerable? That's the one rating on your House list that really jumps out at me.

It should because it should be lower.  Tongue

I really need to revise the rankings and move some things around but I'm not going to do it right now.

How about SD-AL? I realize Stephanie Herseth Sandlin is immensely popular there, but isn't she being challenged by Secretary of State Chris Nelson? If so, that could be a race to watch, albeit she has the edge with incumbency but 2010 is shaping out to be a very anti-incumbent year.

How about SC-01? I'm surprised that race isn't on your list. Harry Brown Jr. (R) was almost defeated in 2008 by a lesbian! Any race in which a lesbian comes close to knocking off a conservative Republican incumbent in the South, I think, merits attention.

Isn't Mary Bono Mack being challenged by an openly gay man, the Mayor of Palm Springs Steve Pougnet or however you spell his name? Not sure how popular she is in the district but I think Obama won the district in 2008.

I'm pretty sure MBM is being challenged by Pougnet; I'm not sure if it's official yet, though (and yes, you spelled his name right Smiley ).
As far as I know, she's still pretty popular (as was Sonny before her, even though he was more conservative than she is), but when you take into account that her district has the largest gay population while being represented by a Republican...I'd say Pougnet being openly gay would definitely give him a potential edge (of course, Mary has also publicly supported her stepdaughter Chastity becoming her stepson Chaz, so who knows?).

All these things will be taken care of in due time, folks.  I haven't given a "serious" look at things in a couple of months.  When I do, I'll bump it up.  Today was only for the Senate stuff.

Only going to list my Top 50 on the Republican side and Top 25 on the Democratic side in the House because that's probably as far as I need to go for the moment.

EDIT (November 16):  Changed to 60 Republican seats because I think they deserve a slightly wider net at the moment.  No change to Dems.

EDIT (December 15):  With some new open seats, the list has been changed a bit.  I haven't added any more Dem seats to the Watch List for now, but I may add a couple more soon.

Considering Kirk's continued fundraising advantage, do you now consider IL to be closer after what we just saw in MA?  I mean, if the Democrats couldn't count on the MA machine...

I have always considered Illinois a toss-up.  Illinois has some working-class areas, yes...  Tongue  But they may be less-likely to be open to revolt.

Might as well put all Democratic seats on the watch list now.

I was going to put PA-17 there on the update.  Don't fret.

Rumor has it a new poll in NY-16 shows Jose Serrano down by 20 points to an unnamed "tea party candidate".... Wink

lol - the reason why PA-17 would be on the watch list, of course, is because Holden has got what looks to me to be serious challenge.

I know. Smiley NY-16 should at least be considered lean Dem. Wink

In all seriousness I do agree on PA-17, though at this point I'd say every district with a PVI of R+5 or greater really should automatically be considered watch list until further evidence proves otherwise.

Fair enough - I've given thought to that myself of the past couple of weeks.

Well not exactly. I wouldn't be putting Boren, Chandler or Taylor up there. You have to consider whether a reasonalby good opponent is running or considering running.


I wonder if the results in MA will convince Terry Kilgore to run against Rick Boucher in VA-09?

Updated Senate today.

Will update Governors tomorrow and probably House later this week (it takes the most time).

I did switch Indiana to Likely D, but I will move to Lean D if Pence actually runs (just a suspicion).
