The nonpartisan Cook Political Report released a new update on the 2010 elections yesterday. A full 54
Democratic seats in the House are now rated as "highly competitive," with nearly half already seeing the GOP
challenger running even or ahead of the Democratic incumbent. Only six GOP-held seats are in play as possible
Democratic pickups. Republicans need to win 40 seats to take back control of the House.
Nervousness in Democratic ranks will be heightened even more by Cook's finding that a total of 95 Democratic
seats are potentially vulnerable -- almost two-fifths of the entire Democratic caucus. The list includes such
powerful committee chairmen as David Obey of Wisconsin and Nick Rahall of West Virginia, both of whom have
easily held their seats for more than 30 years. With so many members concerned about re-election, President
Obama and Congressional leaders will be hard-pressed to get any major liberal legislation through Congress in
the few remaining months of this session.
