National Journal House Race Ranking Update

The National Journal has updated its House race ranking list. Here are the relevant PA listings in the top 50.

PA-04 makes it's debut at #50, with incumbent Republican Melissa Hart facing Democratic challenger Jason Altmire.

PA-10 stays at #21. Democrat Chris Carney is challenging incumbent Republican Don Sherwood.

PA-08 dropped from #14 to #19, because the national Republican party has been putting more of its resources into PA-06 and PA-07 instead of supporting incumbent Republican Mike Fitzpatrick's battle with Democrat Patrick Murphy. I question this logic but the folks at NJ know oodles more than I do about these things.

PA-07 moved up from #16 to #13. Incumbent Republican Curt Weldon is facing Democrat Joe Sestak.

PA-06, where Democrat Lois Murphy is going for a rematch against incumbent Republican Jim Gerlach, dropped from #3 to #4

Watch the Altmire race. He seems to really have momentum now.
