DC press knows what San Diego voters know — Scott Peters makes the “Endangered” List.

Roll Call’s latest edition of the “Top 10 Most Vulnerable House Members” shows several more incumbents in peril. Some of them face top-notch opponents, others are running in unfavorable districts; a couple members just don’t run good campaigns.
(excerpted)
Rep. Scott Peters, D-Calif.
Peters got a spot on the last edition of this list because he faces a top GOP candidate in a competitive district that will likely see Democratic turnout drop off this year. San Diego Councilmember Carl DeMaio is his opponent.
Not much has changed since then — and that’s not good for Peters. Polling shows this to be a near neck-in-neck race with three months to go.
This race is gearing up to be one of the most expensive House races on the map. More than $3 million has already been reserved on the airwaves here for the fall — including money from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the National Republican Congressional Committee and House Majority PAC.
