PA-8 is a good bet since Fitzpatrick is retiring.   The district is trending democrat slowly too.

MI-6 is another one that could flip,   I think Upton is too conservative for the district,  the democrats just need to get out the college age votes there.

Frank Guinta is definitely NOT a liberal Republican...even calling him a moderate is a very VERY big stretch.    
He favors abolishing the IRS,
He's VERY pro-life
He denies any and all man-made climate change
He supports abolishing the Department of Education
He's voted yes to repeal the ACA every chance he's gotten
He has the fricking Tea Party flag raised at his own fricking fund raisers and campaign events!!!

How in the hell does anyone call Guinta anything but an extreme right wing conservative?Huh

<---- (Lives in Guinta's district btw)

How does he win his district then? Is Shea-Porter gaffe-prone or something? It's not as if NH-1 is a conservative bastion.

Shea-Porter is quite liberal,  much more than Kuster and Shaheen are.   She's actually a very bad fit for a district rated R+1.    Her being so left wing made it easy for all the outside spending groups to target her for being an Obama-rubber stamp vote,  which a lot of the voters who vote in midterms didn't really like.  

Guinta being so conservative and Shea-porter being so liberal is a major reason the district keeps flipping.   It probably would be a good idea to find someone more moderate for either party honestly.

I'm in favor of all those things yet I am called "liberal" by many people. I think some of these are just common sense positions.

Well,  that's fine.   For the rest of us in the real world however...
