Thanks InterceptPoint for the excellent compilation and efforts. We all need to get as involved as we can in these critical House races!
If you ask me - WA 1 is IN PLAY:

Look at those numbers - Indies supporting James Watkins by 35% in mid July - those numbers will continue to trend. I think Watkins has a SERIOUS shot here.

We're going to do a review of our list in the next couple of weeks. There are a few races where our "Experts" have moved their assessment from SAFE D or LIKELY D to LEANS D. If we see that LEANS D rating from more than one "Expert" the race is likely to make it to the Master List. But really good poll numbers might do it also if the polls are legit. We're starting to put some energy into tracking the polls and good polling tends to wake our "Experts" from their normal slumber. I think that's what happened this week to Rothenberg.
