The nonpartisan election handicapper Cook Political Report on Friday shifted its forecast of control for the Senate toward Republicans just four days out from the November midterms.

Sounds like Dizzy Miss Lizzie’s RAT campaign isn’t working out.
Won’t GA and WI make it 51? +2, with -1 from PA.
WI, PA and OH are holds, not gains. AZ and NV would be gains and flip the senate. Any other gains would be a blessing.
Cook is not awful and wants to retain credibility. 4 days out is enough time for them to say they had it right. Conclusion: GOP takes majorities in both house and senate, now the only unknown is by how much.
GA would be a gain as well.
According to RCP, Republicans hold or the race is safe or leading toward the Republican candidate, meaning they need three of WI, GA, NV, PA, AZ, NH, WA or CO, which are all considered tossups by RCP.

Its amazing how far behind these political experts are on things like this. They are supposed to be ahead of the curve. This shift is about a week or two behind the curve.
Devil’s Advocate here: The Cook report has been bashed to death in previous election cycles for being very wrong as I can remember but correct me if I am wrong. What makes the Cook report now being sort of a gold standard - is it because it is favorable to the GOP or is there substantial evidence that can show that the Cook report this cycle is dependable?
Yes, but we need more to RINO proof it against sell outs like Willard romney
of course. WI is only a hold.I forgot
Hold PA and win any one of GA, AZ, NV or NH.
Like NH.
Tim Ryan just called in Steve Schmidt, of Lincoln Project fame. This is the nastiest campaign ever.
