I dont think its tenuous

I think its just the numbers. There is only a single gop district and its at least R+8. Dividing that up risks diluting other districts and putting them at risk in a strong r year. All that work for a single seat with the risk of it not working and costing us at least 2 seats in a bad year. Thats probably the math they are seeing.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
