Cook Report Update: Wave Keeps Building, But Take Nothing For Granted

Written by: Alan Goldston on Oct 7, 2006 10:57 PM EDT

The movement shown by the latest Cook Political Report ratings for the House of Representatives is almost eerie. No presently Democratic seat anywhere in the US is considered highly vulnerable (a so-called "tossup"), while three presently Republican seats are now listed as leaning Democratic, a whopping twenty-five Republican seats are now listed as "toss-ups", and another thirty-one Republican seats are listed as either competitive or potentially competitive.

In New York, a stunning seven Republican seats are now rated as in play, two of them as tossups, two as barely leaning Republican, and three more as potentially competitive.

But, as I say every time I do this segment, not one vote has yet been cast. Find a race, get involved and make a difference. It's doable. Be the wave.

For those of you in Westchester, there is simply no excuse not to get involved in the John Hall campaign for the 19th Congressional District.
Go, right now, to www.johnhallforcongress.com/home... and sign up for telephone canvassing from your own home, using this incredibly neat internet setup that the Hall campaign has implemented. Or work the phonebanks in Mt. Kisco or White Plains.

And, yes, I intend to keep this up right through election day.

Alan Goldston, Chair
