Did anyone else notice Jim Himes won by only 51-49?!
Another race that was on nobody's radar screen.
Democrats look to have done a decent job gerrymandering Connecticut.
It's not really a gerrymander if you don't have 1 GOP house seat where you threw all of your excess margin into make your other races easy.
CT is just that D on its own that they'll likely take them all anyway.
P.S. I do realize that a common tactic is to take the closest PVI seat you have and stretch it against things like media markets, your organizational strength, etc. so that it's expensive for a challenger (but that can backfire if it does switch as now you're disadvantaged).
