Cook Report: CT-04 moves to toss-up

As reported at TPM, via the Cook Political Report:

The Cook Political Report, whose ratings of Congressional races are well-respected by political pros, has just changed its ratings on ten House races -- and has changed them all in favor of the Dems.
It's very rare that Cook flips so many ratings at once -- much less flipping them all in favor of the same political party.

The Shaming of Andrew Card

Here is how these Bush criminals should be received in public. That he was awarded an honorary doctorate from UMass at the same moment typifies everything that is wrong and perverse.

On May 25, 2007 Andrew Card faced hundreds of boos and catcalls as he was given an honorary degree during the graduate school commencement at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
Before the commencement, over a hundred protesters staged a rally and press conference outside the Mullin Center on the UMass campus. Hundreds more students and faculty who opposed the honorary degree would later protest inside the hall.
Card, former Bush Administration Chief of Staff and chief salesman for the invasion of Iraq as head of the White House Iraq Group, faced signs calling him a war criminal. People are now calling on UMass to rescind the honorary degree.
