McNerney Race Moves to Toss-Up List

The influential Cook Political Report has moved Congressman Jerry McNerney's race in the 11th Congressional from the "Lean Democratic" to "Toss-up" category.

Nobody ever thought McNerney would have a cakewalk in his re-election bid. But he's gotten high marks for his freshman year on Capitol Hill. On the political front, he has a sizable cash advantage over his opponent, Republican Dean Andall. Plus he's going to be running in the Bay Area in a strong Democratic year. So I'm not quite sure why the Cook Report has downgraded his chances to even at this juncture, since everything seems to be going his way.

Nonetheless, there's something you can do here: contribute to his campaign before the next filing deadline. He's got a near-term goal of raising $10,000. Visit his website to contribute.
