A Glimpse At The House Races

Turning to the House races, which seem to be much more competitive and interesting than the presidential race at this point, it’s worth noting that Kanjorski in PA-11 is doing better than I would have expected.  Unfortunately, the pro-Democratic wave in Pennsylvania might be strong enough to keep Barletta from ousting him.  It appears that Virgil Goode may indeed lose in VA-05 as I thought he might, which is a remarkable anti-incumbent result, and things are currently not looking good for the GOP in VA-11.  Souder (R) in IN-03 has held on and has been declared the winner, so I was wrong about that one.  The two Diaz-Balarts seem to be hanging on despite unusually strong challenges, but that is not yet final.  Meanwhile, Feeney in FL-24 is toast.
