But that's not the point. Gerrymandering is under control of state legislatures -- not contributors to viable House candidates.

One does not "refuse" to contribute money to an unwinnable seat. One sends one's scarce resources to winnable districts. If a winnable seat gets won by the opposition, the power of incumbancy could make it unwinnable in the future. This must not be allowed to happen.

I think it indeed is the point. I can't tell you how many people show up on an Irey thread and immediately ask about polls. (see my tagline) Why? Because they want to know if the race is "winnable."

Will Diana Irey beat the favored incumbent? I don't know. Ask me in mid November. Is it "winnable?" Yes.
