The district of Dem Chet Edwards, which is home to President Bush's Crawford ranch and is one of the few Dem seats being eyed for a possible pickup by Republicans, now appears to be edging out of the GOP's reach. CQ Politics has just changed its rating of the race between Edwards and GOP challenger Van Taylor from "Leans Democratic" to "Democrat Favored." The GOP "early on touted Taylor as one of their strongest challengers," CQ says. "But...Republicans are concentrating heavily on shoring up their many vulnerable incumbents, and much less on targeting Democratic incumbents such as Edwards."
