Not sure that I agree but Charlie Cook is no political hack.

Some Perception on Charlie Cook. In the Early summer of 2004 he predicted that George Bush would need a miracle in the shape of a Harry Truman like comeback to win the presidency. If you do an archive of Cook's site, you will see he predicted doomsday for the GOP in 2000 and 2002. He is a registered democrat also, like Sabato.
