Because winning by 3 in 2012 makes you a good candidate.

Right.

Anyways, I'll reserve my judgment until they actually serve in and vote on a few bills.

For a democrat to win They'd have to carry Chautauqua county, which wouldn't vote for an Ithaca liberal, which the democratic primary is rigged to nominate

Nah. Just getting out the vote in Thompkins and winning Seneca would be good enough. Treading water in that county helps

Not editing it until he gets in. At this point he's the only one with a remote chance.

Your map seems a bit more Dem friendly than the conventional wisdom. I would think the Pubs have an edge in NY-24 due to the quality of the incumbent, and an edge in that Cuban south Florida seat, and MI-01 probably just because the seat has a Pub lean with a Pub incumbent (although not as strong as in NY-24). Arguably also in PA-08, although that is debatable, due to a deeper bench and Bucks trending a bit to the Pubs. The Heck seat probably should be moved to tilt Pub now. And is NY-23 really that much in play? Ditto that south Illinois seat, also trending Pub, and with a high profile incumbent. But it is all very early, and most are assuming that no party has a tailwind behind them in 2016.

*Irrelevant. As long as Democrats get a good candidate, NY-24 is a toss-up. If it's a bad recruit, then Tilt R.

*You also forget that Benishek's gone back on his term limit pledge and is facing the same overperforming candidate from last time. I'm sticking with tossup on this one.

*Annette Taddeo is running in FL-26, and she wound up carrying the seat in 2014 against CLC. She takes away Curbelo's edge.

*PA-8 is probably the one where I had the most trouble deciding. Now that Petri is considering I'm more inclined to move this to Tilt R.

*I'm still waiting and seeing on NV-3 - I'm operating on the pretense that Susie Lee moves back to this race instead of NV-4.

*I'm getting huge red flags on Reed, especially after his performance in 2012. John Plumb, who seems to be something more than a Some Dude, and a fairly qualified candidate who isn't from Tompkins County, will probably make this closer than whoever faces Stefanik.

*IIRC, Democrats still have top-tier candidates, and I'm not going to just automatically give Bost entrenchment here.

This might have to be updated for the Florida redistricting soon!

Already have:



FL-2: Safe R
FL-5: Safe D
FL-7: Retirement Watch (Mica could very well retire if his district gets more hostile - plus it's trending Democratic)
FL-10: Toss-up (I could see Demings or another opponent actually taking out Webster - God knows Boehner won't be chomping at the bit to defend him)
FL-13: Toss-up/Tilt D
FL-26: Toss-up (unchanged)
