House & Senate Races in 2016

[longknife]

We spend lots of time discussing the race for the White House but forget the races coming up for Congress. And, these same races often determine the future of state and local bodies. I admit that I don't know much about Roll Call or its political leaning. I can only provide this information and let you decide for yourselves.

The Rothenberg & Gonzales Political Report/Roll Call Race Ratings for House, Senate and gubernatorial contests are categorized to reflect the degree to which one party or the other is projected to win. Ratings do not reflect how close a contest is expected to be, but rather the degree of certainty that one political party will win the seat.

The full piece can be read @ RollCall.com - 2016 Election Race Ratings

The reason why it is not being discussed is most likely due to the fact that the Republicans will hold their majority..

If it even seemed like they would not hold that majority every far left blog site would be saying so now..

The Republicans will most likely hold a House majority just due to the geographic nature of the House districts.

The Senate is most certainly competitive though. Nobody talks much about congressional races until after the primaries are over though.

I enjoy that there are 24 republican seats at risk in the Senate, and only 10 Democrat ones.

The Senate map is looking better and better for Democrats

"If Trump is the nominee, all of the 24 seats will be in play."

Hang on Republicans, hurricane Katrina II is on the way and you are New Orleans, Bush is in the White House, and 'Heckuva Job Brownie" is in charge of FEMA".

And the Cleveland Republican Convention is in the Super-dome.

I think the democrats easily take back the senate! Would be nice if the democrats would take back the house...Ted pooz would end up giving the republican party the ass fucking of the past 50 years.
