Guam Delegate Madeleine Z. Bordallo usually would coast to reelection not only in the Democratic primary but also in the general election. Here at 671Politics, we would generally agree with that assessment. We like Delegate Bordallo and have nothing but the upmost respect for the work she has accomplished despite the U.S. House of Representatives being controlled for the majority of her time in D.C. by fiscally conservative Republicans whose only mantra is to "cut, cut, cut". However, there has been a number of primaries this election year across the country where House incumbents have been turned out of office by strong intra-party opponents. Our personal opinions of Delegate Bordallo aside, we still expect her to win the Democratic nomination...albeit facing a stronger challenge than her last Democratic opponent. Her current Democratic rival, Mr. Karlo Dizon, has defied early expectations that his campaign would not catch fire or would only appeal to a certain demographic, but it has most certainly done the opposite. The most obvious example of this is the recent announcement that the Campaign Chairman for Dizon for Congress is none other than Mr. Frank Schacher, Chairman of the Chamorro Tribe and a noted Chamorro rights activist for the past several decades.

Mr. Dizon still has quite a ways to go just to catch up to Delegate Bordallo. Our preliminary rating (for now) does not change, as we still anticipate Del. Bordallo to be the Democratic nominee.
