Members of the 2010 MNPL National Planning Committee meeting in Savannah, GA, welcomed the opportunity this week to ask questions and share insights with Charlie Cook, one of the nation’s most highly regarded political analysts and odds makers.
Cook, who edits the Cook Political Report and is regularly featured on national news programs, was characteristically blunt about the prospects for incumbents in the upcoming mid-term elections. “I don’t think the Democrats will lose their majority in the Senate,” opined Cook, who also said it was very hard to come up with a scenario where the Democrats do not lose control of the House of Representatives.
