Six more once-safe GOP House seats now "competitive"
by John in DC - 10/20/2006 02:48:00 PM

And the hits just keep on coming. What's particularly important here is that the more seats that become competitive - meaning, that move from safe to not-so-safe, the more races the GOP has to keep an eye on and spend money in. Multi-front wars are bad things:

Six More House Races Suddenly Become Competitive In This Week Alone
By Matt Corley | bio
In another sign that the political environment continues to shift favorably for Dems, six House races have suddenly moved from out-of-play likely Republican victories to competitive contests in the last week alone, according to a quick analysis of race rankings by nonpartisan experts done by Election Central. The analysists, CQ Politics and Cook Political Report, have since Monday shifted their rankings of the six either to "Leans Republican" or "No Clear Favorite," indicating they are now in play for Dems. These shifts come after a more extensive Election Central analysis a week ago found that since Foleygate broke in late September, at least 29 races moved towards Dems. Our list of newly-competitive races after the jump.

Here are the House races which have become competitive in the last week, complete with third quarter filing numbers for each candidate. The filings are organized with total fundraising for the quarter first and total cash on hand second. The candidate with more cash on hand is listed first

2. Melissa Hart is running scared in PA-04.
The NRCC has started pumping money into her campaign and running ads for her.

Poor little Melissa is running ads saying that Jason Altmire is telling lies about her. Sorry, Melissa. Your voting record with Bush and Santorum tells the true story. Jason is NOT telling lies. The facts speak for themselves.

Go Jason!
