Hopefully, we'll target places that can actually flip from red to blue, and districts that normally give a 20% margin to the GOP are not in that group.

More importantly, even if we narrow the Rethuglican majority in the House, they may well enlarge their majority in the Senate, which involves the confirmation of Federal judges. I'd rather see money go to defending Senate seats because of that very reason.
