The influential (and non-partisan) Rothenberg Political Report just released its latest look at House races across the nation, and the new report finds that the race for Washington State’s 8th District, between freshman Republican Congressman Dave Reichert and Democratic challenger Darcy Burner, has moved into the “Toss Up/Tilt Republican” category — up from the “Lean Republican” category, where it was earlier this year.

Burner campaign manager Zach Silk tells me this new analysis means that the Burner-Reichert race has become one of the top 14 most competitive races in the country.

You have to be a subscriber to get the Rothenberg Report, which is widely read among strategists and opinion-makers in D.C. But a Democratic insider sent me a copy today, along with this analysis:

On the national level, this means yet another seat that Republicans are going to have to defend. On the local level, it means even more focus on how vulnerable Reichert is.
