Cook was lazy for putting it in Solid Dem anyway after the primary. Should have been Likely Dem. Then again, he's always kind of lazy.
When exactly is this election anyway? I haven't been following it that closely.
If by "lazy," you mean methodical and cautious, then I agree. BTW, David Wasserman has now replaced Amy Walter as the House race editor.
No, he was lazy. Whenever you win your primary (although it was hotly contested) by only 4% and your opponent literally destroys his primary opponent, you can't put the race in safe, when the PVI is only about +8 to +9 Dem.
This is among other things that Cook does which show signs of not paying close enough attention to detail. He's very intelligent, but lazy.
