Cook has basically said that an incumbent, in a close race..even if trailing, is listed as toss-up unless he/she has been indicted..which explains why he’s hedging on a lot of races...calling them toss-ups...any way of goign back to get his predictions the last week before 1994, and see which races he called toss-up back then, and how they turned out?

A lot of pundits are hedging, but that’s not the problem here...Let’s look at CA-20. It’s a staggering +10R (52-42)in the survey/usa poll on Oct 25th. All the pundits should rank that as a toss-up or better. BUT many still have him as dark blue. They haven’t updated their predictions yet. For example Sabato’s update is from the 21st. Thus KHR also lags.
