Today's Update from the Cook Political Report:

Ratings Changes in Nearly 30 Districts

House Editor David Wasserman releases the latest batch of race rating changes. While it's not likely that a majority of the races moved from "Solid" to "Likely" Republican will become competitive by November, the poor national climate for the GOP and the DCCC's unprecedented financial edge makes even very difficult districts for Democrats worth keeping tabs on. And be sure to look for district-by-district updates in this month's competitive race rundowns.

Steve Sarvi is hitting the campaign trail running. This ‘likely republican’ is sure to move further towards the Democratic side. Sarvi released poll results stating that Self ID’d Dems now match Self ID Repubs 40%-40%.

Lou Barletta, Representative Paul Kanjorski’s opponent in the PA-11 Race, is continuing to use a series of fear mongering and misinformation tactics to try and weasel his way into office.

Thankfully, however, the people have not come out in support of Barletta, as his campaign continues to be underfunded and understaffed.  Lou Barletta needs to be kept out of the United States Congress.
