I don’t know any experts but FL-2 is not leaning D this time. The incumbent can’t win, in fact, he may get Primaried.

You may be right. Rothenberg just moved FL-02 to Toss-Up this week. He smells something. RCP also rates it as Toss-Up. We need some polls. If they show the Dems in trouble the “Experts” will come around.
I agree with you re FL-02. I’m not sure why the experts haven’t caught up with what’s going on down there.
It’s been reported in Politico that Boyd has spent $1.4 million already in his bid to stave off Al Lawson, who is attacking him from the left. Boyd voted for cap and trade AND health care reform, yet Lawson is attacking him for his “conservative” record.
A poll earlier this year showed Southerland (R) beating Boyd by double digits. If Boyd does manage to scrape by in the primary, he’s going to have a pretty empty piggy bank. I guess that’s why the DCCC has bought a bunch of airtime already in this market to defend this seat.
Lawson is not a good fit at all for this conservative district which voted for Bush twice and picked McCain by 9 over Obama. Guess we should be rooting for Lawson to win.
