I like your analysis.
For reference:
CA-31 - Gary Miller
FL-13 - The now deceased Bill Young
C0-6 - Mike Coffman
NY-19 - Chris Gibson
I would agree that Gibson’s opponent is weak, but New York is heavily pro-homo, so that might boost him.
Ribble actually did better than I though last time. Won with 55%, and Romney won that district. He’ll probably survive.
What’s your take on the race for Tammy Duckworth’s district in Illinois? We have an Indian candidate, and the area has a sizable Indian population. Duckworth won here by 9 points over Joe Walsh. I’d like to see her gone.
I think two big targets are Patrick Murphy (the drunk dirtbag who cheated against Allen West), and Kyrzten Sinema in Arizona who barely beat Vernon Parker last time.
Of course, we’ll be trying to take out those red state rats like McIntyre and Barrow. Mia Love might just be able to take out Matheson this time. She’s learned a lot from the near miss in 2012.
I think we may need to draw up a comprehensive list of competitive races on both sides before the start of the new year. I would like to increase our majority if possible, even if its just by 7 or 8. That makes it harder for the rats in 2016.
I wouldn't say I'm impressed but she's raised a boatload of money already, 200K. Words can't describe how much I hate Suckworth. I hate it when they use war injuries for political purposes like that d-bag Max Cleland.
I'd say our best target in IL is the downstate 12th where State Rep. Mike Bost is running against freshman rat Enyart in a district that Obama won by an eyelash. I'd rate the 8th as second, Walsh did better than I thought he would do in 2012, Suckworth isn't that formidable.

Most def. We have 3 targets in AZ, the 1st and 2nd (which was stolen) districts were even closer than the 9th and both of them voted Romney. Martha McSally is considering a rematch in the 2nd and 2 State Reps (one of them the Speaker) have already announced for the 1st.

I don't think he's particularity strong but I didn't mean to imply he's necessary weak, his asset is his money. He's gay "married" to co-founder of Facebook/owner of the New Republic, Chris Hughes.
