especially those GOP districts. The fact is Congress will be a very heavy lift until some form of redistricting occurs. I have no idea what the vote numbers for NC were this time but last time we won a bare majority of the two party vote and a bare plurality of the over all vote and had a 4-9 split with one of our four having won the closest race in the nation. This time we are 3-10 as that guy retired and we were destined to be 3-10 no matter how many votes we got. Price, Butterfield, and the new person out of Watt's district can't lose and no other Dem can win.
