The non-partisan Rothenberg Political Report (which is predicting Democrats will pick up between 10 to 20 seats in the November election) has moved the contest between Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart and Raul Martinez to "pure toss up."
The match between Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart and Joe Garcia is ranked as "leans Republican."
Both designations are good news for Democrats: the races were added to Rothenberg's list of competitive races for the first time in July. Back then the Lincoln/Raul matchup was considered "leans Republican," and the Garcia/Diaz-Balart head to head was rated as "Republican favored."
If I were Martinez, I would change my name. 'Martinez' has become synonymous with
'amnesty scam'. And Americans didn't like it.

Is it true that Diaz-Balart has a girlfrined who works for TV Marti? If so, she should not be reporting on this race. She's probably not unbiased.

i heard the rumors about his girlfriend, but I never thought it was true. I pray that it's not. I don't want to think my Congressman is degenerate cheating scum bag. His poor wife and kids. Do they know about the his affair?
