Democrats left in Romney States/Congressional Districts

[IceSpear]

Interesting that the Republican senate majority is more or less just the Republican/Obama seats minus the Democrat/Romney seats. The good news there is that Democrats don't necessarily need to win any Romney seats to regain the majority, just to consolidate the Obama seats which should be a lot easier.

Unfortunately not, since Democrats are a lot more open minded and prone to ticket splitting than Republicans are.

Senators

Jon Tester (MT)
Heidi Heitkamp (ND)
Claire McCaskill (MO)
Joe Donnelly (IN)
Joe Manchin (WV)
Mary Landrieu (LA)
Mark Begich (AK)
Kay Hagan (NC)
Mary Pryor (AR)
John Walsh (MT)
Tim Johnson (SD)
Jay Rockefeller (WV)

So we've gone from 12 Democratic Senators and 9 Democratic Congressmen to what will very likely be 5 Democratic Senators (all elected in 2012) and 5 Democratic Congressmen in Romney Districts. Wow.

What about Senate Republicans in Obama states? This is why Republicans have a majority currently, since we most of the red state Dems this year.

Cory Gardner (CO)
Marco Rubio (FL)
Kelly Ayotte (NH)
Chuck Grassley (IA)
Joni Ernst (IA)
Mark Kirk (IL)
Susan Collins (ME)
Dean Heller (NV)
Rob Portman (OH)
Pat Toomey (PA)
Ron Johnson (WI)

Also, only 2 of the 5 Romney Dems have ever survived a midterm (McCaskill, Manchin) and only 3 of the 11 Obama Repubs have ever survived a presidential year (Collins, Heller, Grassley).

Tester won in 2006.
