Stu Rothenberg:
“If the question is whether there is any evidence right now that
Democrats can retake the House next year (especially considering
historical trends and the number of swing districts), the answer has to
be no. This conclusion is based on the evidence now, and if the evidence
changes, so could my conclusion. Perhaps the best answer to the
question, from my point of view, is one that some will find
unsatisfactory: I don’t know. Ask me again in a year, and then a few
months after that, and then again in October 2014.”
