OK, but by what margins in each case? Or at least attempt to list each outcome as a narrow or decisive win.

Shuster has a democrat opponent! A former TV personality!

But if that pace holds up nationally the GOP picks up 60-80 seats.

I’m a Democrat and I agree with all the pre-labor day predictions by Livingston.

I think that you hit the mark except in pa-8 I believe that Fitzpatrick wins, unless Murphy can sway businesses into his corner and their employees. It will be a close race to watch for sure. And Fitz has been doing an incredible job at fundraising with more to come.
In the 3rd I am not so sure about Kelly?? It also, should be close.
