    Rep. Donna Edwards, D-Md., took office yesterday after winning Tuesday's special election to complete the term of former Rep. Albert Wynn, D-Md.

    Rep. Wynn was A rated. He resigned after losing the Democratic primary. I'll initiate Rep. Edwards with a rating of "?".

    House Summary (prior version):

    ................. Dem.......Rep
    with us...........114.......25
    unknown...........109.......69
    against us.........16.......107

    House Summary (updated):

    ..................... Dem.......Rep
    with us...............127.......25
    unknown................93.......51
    against us.............19......125

    Looks like the party division is even more pronounced now. 53% of House Dems are with us. 39% are unknown. 7.6% are opposed. 62% of House Republicans are against us. 25.5% are unknown, and only 12.5% are with us. Also, note that most of the prior Democrat unknowns voted with us, while most prior Republican unknowns voted against us.

    Here's the new Leach list. The Leach List is comprised of congressmen who are opposed to our rights who are also on the Cook Political Report's "2008 COMPETITIVE HOUSE RACE CHART" (July 3, 2008, in this case). I've added 13 congressmen to the prior list (for a total of 26). Some were already known to oppose us and were just added to Cook. Others were already on Cook, but voted no on the King Amendment to HR 5767.
