I have doubts about Berniecrats winning districts which swung right of late... We saw an example in MT-AL recently..

We saw an example of what happens when you nominate a stoner, tax avoiding, nudist associating, politically inexperienced folk singer.

Smart Move. Imagine he'll likely challenge Gardner in 2020 and become the Dem nominee favorite and will start as the GE favorite.

why would he run for Senate when he quit instead of running for Governor? doesn't seem like Perlmutter wants a promotion.

He probably thought he couldn't beat Polis in a primary.

According to Nathan Gonzales, Rep. Joe Barton (R - TX-6) will be announcing his retirement or resignation soon.

There's apparently some...revealing...photos floating around that may or may not be real. I saw them on Twitter before but I can't find it again now.

EDIT: OMG it's real lol

^Can you edit your post with the shortened link in my post? My initial one was accidentally too long and it’s messing up the page.

Dave Wasserman‏ @Redistrict
Hearing of a poll in #OH15 showing Dem in a surprisingly close race against NRCC Chair Rep. Steve Stivers (R). Makes sense: @CookPolitical PVI is only R+7 & district includes Athens & Columbus burbs.

Yikes. Dem internal poll has Ed Royce in CA-39 up 48-44. https://www.scribd.com/document/367450908/CA-39-Tulchin-Research-for-Gil-Cisneros-Nov-2017

Throws some cold water on the hopes of a California sweep.

It's been clear for a while that Royce is in a much better position than Issa/Rohrabacher.

I believe that if Democrats can't win his district, they're not winning back the house. It went to Clinton by 8.5 points, the most out of any of those OC districts.

Just taking the Clinton/Trump margin isn't the biggest factor in a lot of races. For example, Comstock (C+10) is much more likely to lose than Valadao (C+15.5), Bacon (T+2.2) is more likely to lose than Katko (C+3.3), and LoBiondo's open seat (T+4.6) is more likely to flip than Royce, as well as many other examples.

PPP has a bunch of (I think) new House polls:

CA-10: Denham trails Generic Democrat 49-41
CA-39: Royce trails Generic Democrat 46-43
CA-45: Walters trails Generic Democrat 45-41
NJ-11: Frelinghuysen trails Generic Democrat 49-40
PA-08: Fitzpatrick trails Generic Democrat 47-41

This race was always going to be abandoned at some point, though it's notable how early it's happening.
