National Republicans believe they have narrowed the number of seats
for which Democrats can seriously compete, a result of a redistricting
cycle that heavily favored the current Congressional majority. In a
memo set to be released today, the NRCC will be touting 16
Democratic-held seats it believes are in play as a result of the
process.
In the memo, NRCC executive director Guy Harrison
argues that the process has made 16 Democratic-held seats more
competitive while making just 14 Republican-held seats more competitive.
The memo also claims that redistricting has taken more Republican-held
seats than Democratic-held seats out of play.
Of course, the Democrats narrowed the competition in California and Illinois.
