Novak Calls IN-09 "Likely Democratic Takeover"

Within the "Toss-Up" umbrella, he says IN-08 leans Democratic, and IN-02 leans Republican.

As matters currently stand, Democrats should take over at least four seats without trouble -- including the seat of former Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) (see below). These Democrat takeovers would include political comebacks by two former congressmen -- Baron Hill (D-Ind.) and Ken Lucas (D-Ky.) -- and the loss of Rep. Jim Kolbe's (R-Ariz.) seat, whose primary is not yet settled.
