GOP Target List

The NRCC has their first 2012 congressional target list up. There are 54 congressmen on the list. There aren't any districts on the list that are safe Democratic with a PVI above D+8. A number of them were GOP targets in 2010. All of these districts, however, will have a different make-up in 2012 and some will be eliminated. I suppose the NRCC is saying that Betty Sutton will run somewhere in 2012 and they want to turn up the heat. They aren't committing any money to any of these districts. Clearly the NRCC isn't looking to be timid and won't back away from going on offense. Good to see.
