Morning Roundup: The Next Chess Moves

Morning Roundup: The Next Chess Moves

  • 74 House Races To Watch for 2006 with David Loebsack ranked 13.

  • Winners in 2006 Will Be in Place for Remap-Crucial 2010 Elections: It's a little bit of a reach - the new governors elected in 2006 will be up for re-elect in 2010 with remapping happening in 2011. But in the permanent war we're in now, it matters.

  • Another generic congressional ballot story. Looks good but states the reality:

    Polls throughout 2003 repeatedly showed that "Democratic candidate" fared several points better against Bush in trial heats than specific Democrats, like Dean, Clark and Kerry. In other words, actually knowing who the Democratic candidate was served as a drag on the Democratic ticket. However, in the generic versus specific ballot, voters were allowed to imagine their ideal Democrat going up against Bush, thus boosting the Democratic cause several points.


  • New York Daily News: "John Kerry loyalists are kicking themselves for cooperating last year with "Inside the Bubble," a potentially devastating behind-the-scenes look at the Massachusetts senator's failed presidential campaign.
    Hillary Clinton partisans are licking their chops to see the film, which "could end up being the silver bullet that kills Kerry's presidential chances for 2008."
