4. King isn't in NY-1...he's in NY-2

...and my database says this is still a SOLID-R district.

I know how much people hate King, but that emotional response is precisely NOT the way to select candidates to donate to. We need to pick up 23 seats (Ben Ray Lujan tells me he wants 33 to have a cushion) to put King in the Minority, which is just as effective as defeating him. Giving money to Liuba Shirley means not giving that money to one of the many races we're more likely to win.
