(102,328 posts)not be in danger" for R's... Implying that abortion issue may well be opening up an opportunity/increasing odds for Democrats I've followed Charlie Cook for decades. He's no kook and surely not biased towards R's.
I really think some are misreading what he said.

(102,328 posts)yes, I certainly did read it and it just seems that you are reading it as the opposite of what he is saying.
What Cook is saying is absolutely potential good news for us.
