NRCC released its list of target seats today. Thoughts?

AZ-1, AZ-9, CA-7, CA-24, CA-36, CA-52, CO-7, CT-2, CT-5, FL-7, FL-13, IL-17, IA-2, MA-9, MD-6, MI-5, MI-9, MN-1, MN-7, MN-8, NH-1, NH-2, NJ-5, NM-1, NY-3, NY-18, NV-3, NV-4, OH-13, OR-4, OR-5, PA-17, WA-6, WA-10, WI-3

Interesting that they listed IL-17 but not IL-10.

I thought so too. I wonder if Bob Dold would run again, but the district swung to the dems pretty wildly. For 17, they're probably thinking since it was a trump district with a big working class population, plus Bustos might run for governor leaving the seat empty

I hope they have fun going after Tim Ryan/Joe Schiavoni.

That one is a stretch. Trump did well but Tim Ryan is one of the last of the Working Class Dems so I think he's safe so long as he remains popular

Good luck picking off Derek Kilmer and Denny Heck in a Trump midterm, lol.

Yeah I laughed at that too.

Notable seats the NRCC isn't interested in:

-IL-10
-NY-25
-CA-16
-CA-26
-RI-02

Don't know much about the other states but the issue with RI-02 is that half of providence was drawn into it so it's not likely to go barring massive dropping in turn out in the city. If the Republicans win the governorship, a map that trades the rest of providence for Woonsocket and Cumberland would maybe be a toss up. Although RI will probably lose a seat in 2020

lol@the NH seats, especially NH-02

Krusty Kuster only won by 15,000 in a presidential year. With the college students not as engaged in Hanover, Plymouth, Keene, Nashua, and Henniker I think she can be dislodged
