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.
