I think it's mostly a question of allocating resources most effectively. We can't win every battle, so we should focus on the battles that are most winnable and make sure we win there. With that accomplished, we can move on to winning back areas where both the Democrats
and the local GOP old guard will be against us.
In my view, we should focus on races in this order:
- Open seat, historically Republican district
- Open seat, historically Democrat district
- Democrat incumbent, historically Republican district
- Republican incumbent, historically Republican district
- Democrat incumbent, historically Democrat district
- Republican incumbent, historically Democrat district
