FLASHPOINT for Aug 14, 2006

Monday, Aug. 14, 2006 | 7:28 a.m.

Some good news and bad news for the parties in Congressional Quarterly's latest analysis of the possibilities for change in Congress. The Democrats should be thrilled that Congressional District 2 has been moved from "Republican favored" to "leans Republican." The change comes because of the bloody GOP primary and Regent Jill Derby's perceived strength. But any hopes for Jack Carter against GOP Sen. John Ensign, where the Netroots are optimistic, were dashed. Ensign was moved from favored to safe and here's what CQ said of Carter: "But resources for his longshot bid currently look scarce, as Democrats have too many higher-priority races elsewhere." More simply put: Hit the road, Jack.
