Murray lost it 45-55 in 2010
What's the source?
If that's true, then there's some truth to the notion that it's a more Republican district on the downballot level. I'll still call it Tilt D though, since it's a Trump midterm and the trend is toward the Democrats.
I would call it a toss up tilting republican hold the dems have no bench in the 8th at all while the GOP has the tons of candidates to choose from.
Republicans are really banking on that "weak bench" line of attack here.
Which is funny because a shallow bench can be an advantage in the jungle system. 7 Rs vs 2 Ds could easily end up D vs D in the general.
