Today's Rochester D&C has a story on the importance of the war in Iraq to the race in the 29th. The headline ("Iraq becomes albatross for Republican Candidates") pretty much says it all.
The Rural Patriot points out that the National Journal has moved the 29th from 36th to 33rd in its ranking of hot races. The 29th has been steadily inching up in this ranking. The new Cook and Rothenberg ratings released over the weekend reclassified a number of House races, the 29th not among them.
