"Election Predictions" -- House +16 for Dems

[longship]

Mark Foley's departure from the House today has resulted in Tom at Election Predictions (probably the best 2006 election site on the Web) to change his House predictions to Dems+16. FL-16 is now rates as "Very Weak Gain". Of course, this is all subject to revision, but I thought DUers would be interested.

BTW, Tom is an *all new* reworked site. Highly recommended.

1. Interesting site

but I'm really tired of everybody thinking that the House race up here is noncompetitive. We have a great Democratic candidate for the House this year. People here are sick and tired of Don Young. If the DCCC and DNC would throw a little cash our way so our candidate could seriously get out in the state and meet with people, she'd win in a landslide. We're having to resort to pleading petitions to the national people for cash - it shouldn't be that way.

2. Sorry. The Colorado stats are VERY outdated.

Fawcett (D) is now ahead of Lamborn (Rapture whack-job).
Paccioni(D) is within the MOE since Aug 19th, and raised more than $1M.
Perlmuter(D) is pulling ahead, but I don't know by how much.

August was a long time ago.

3. Tom's working on it.

Why don't you post a comment on the CO page. Tom recently has added a couple of staffers to the site. He's 17 years old, you know. A smart kid who's doing a heckuva job. ;-)

He's been focussing on bringing the new site online and a few of the state pages need some work. Give the guy some slack. This is a good site.

4. Yep, those kids are doing a good job.

I've been going to their site almost daily for a couple of months. It's the first place I go when I want a summary of where we stand on House races.

I think they're having trouble keeping up with the volume of polls that are coming out now. That was a lot easier a few months back when you didn't see new ones as often. And this workload has been compounded by their move to the new site, which is a big improvement over the old one already.
