| Description | With Klein appearing to run step for step with Shaw, CQPolitics.com has changed its rating on the race to No Clear Favorite from Leans Republican.
Through most of the contest, Shaw appeared to rate at least a slight edge, because of his longterm popularity and position as a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee.
But a national political environment that has been troubled for the GOP all year hasn’t gotten better — and may in fact have worsened with the eruption of the scandal involving Shaw’s longtime congressional neighbor, resigned 16th District Republican Mark Foley.
The rating change means that Klein, in CQ’s view, heads into the final five weeks of the election on nearly equal footing with the 26-year incumbent. |
