Joe Garcia, Steve Southerland Among Most Vulnerable Congressmen in the Nation

Roll Callreleased its updated list of the 10 most vulnerable congressional incumbents over the weekend and two Florida congressmen made the list.

U.S. Rep. Joe Garcia, D-Fla., placed No. 3 on the list. Roll Call notes:

Garcias re-election was always a concern for the national party, but his bid took a rough turn in 2013, when two former staffers garnered horrific headlines amid a voter fraud scandal.

For a most of the cycle, Garcia seemed to stabilize the situation with his powerhouse fundraising, and Republican challenger Carlos Curbelo did himself no favors when he compared Social Security to a Ponzi scheme.

But as national Democratic operatives pored over October internal polling, Garcias name rocketed to the top of their worry lists.

In the end, operatives from both parties say that Garcias saving grace may be GOP Gov. Rick Scotts anticipated down-ballot drag in Garcias South Florida district.

Rating: Tilts Republican

U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland, R-Fla., ranked fifth. Roll Call notes:

Democrat Gwen Graham waged a fierce campaign against Southerland, and he had no room for error this cycle.

But he made more than a few mistakes. Southerland hosted a controversial male-only fundraiser. Subsequently, his campaign bore the brunt of Democrats War on Women attacks.

Even so, both national parties are downplaying expectations in North Florida.

Rating: Tossup
