...Democratic Representative Tim Mahoney of Florida's obstacles. An ABC News report followed by his own admission of multiple extramarital affairs last month now looks like his undoing. With about 40% of Congressional District 16's voters reported, Mahoney is down more than 20 percentage points to Republican attorney Tom Rooney of the Pittsburgh Steelers ownership family. It's been quite a month for Mahoney - the sex scandal revelations, the subsequent divorce filing by his wife and a likely election loss. - By Hector Florin / West Palm Beach...
...Texas: Tom DeLay's Legacy It was expected that incumbent Democratic Congressman Nick Lampson, who holds Tom DeLay's old seat, would have a tough fight on his hands.

Seeking a fourth term representing the 24th congressional district, Republican Tom Feeney, tainted by his 2003 golf trip to Scotland paid by convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff, placed 6th on Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call's top ten list of most endangered congressional incumbents. And 8th district representative, Republican Ric Keller, seeking a 5th term, is 11-points behind wealthy lawyer Alan Grayson, according to a recent Democratic poll. - By Barbara Liston/Orlando
