Pundit Rothenberg upgrades Dem prospects for House Races
It's not on line, but beltway political analyst Stuart Rothenberg has updated his House 2006 predictions:

"Democrats don't have as many top tier candidates as they need to make major gains. That means the ability to pick up the 15 seats that they need for a majority depends on the size of the midterm wave.

Democrast still have the potential for major gains (even taking the House), but their current prospects are somewhat lower. As we begin, 2006, we are increasing our estimate of likely Democratic gains from 4-6 seats to 5-8 seats, with a bias towards even greater Democratic gains. More competitive GOP open seats would enhance Democrats' chances of taking the House."
