I wouldn't be that concerned about McCotter, that should be in the bag. I actually am more worried about Knollenberg's 9th, we could lose that seat on demographics alone before the decade is out (Michael Barone and Charlie Cook, IIRC, were commenting that his district needed strengthening, but I believe the MI redistrictors made it more Dem to help Thad and Candice). Interesting to note that Knollenberg's seat hasn't elected a Democrat since 1890 (in what was then the 6th district), and it's one of the most ancestrally GOP seats in the country.

I'm not worried about Knollenberg's district. That is more GOP now than it was before. It used to have Southfield it in and it went to Gore in 2000 and Clinton in 96. Bush won the new district.
