In a recognition that the race is tightening, CQ Politics, a leading observer of congressional electoral politics, has just changed its rating for FL-18, the race in which Annette Taddeo is challenging long-time incumbent Ileana Ros-Lehtinen.
CQ Politics is a conservative and lagging indicator of of the degree to which incumbents are threatened. Here are how its ratings have changed for the South Florida Congressional races:
Florida 18: One year ago: Safe Republican
Six months ago: Safe Republican
Today: Republican FavoredFlorida 21:
Florida 25:
One year ago: Safe Republican
Six months ago: Republican Favored
Today: Leans Republican
One year ago: Safe Republican
Six months ago: Republican Favored
Today: Leans Republican
Personally I’d say the Democrats are out in front in FL-21, it’s very close in FL-25 (but early voting is looking good! Go Joe!), and Annette Taddeo still has a little (but less and less) ground to make up in FL-25 FL-18.
But the bottom line is clear: no one is safe this year.

Typo: two lots of FL-25.
