PRESS RELEASE

Today, The Hill released an article describing the top 5 US Representatives most vulnerable to losing their seats in 2012.  Incumbent Larry Kissel (D-NC 8) topped the list as the number one most vulnerable officeholder in the nation. 

Here's a quotation from the article by Cameron Joseph: 

"[Kissell] is known as more of a liberal and his district goes from one that would have given McCain 47 percent of the vote to one that would have given him 57 percent of the vote."

With the redistricting efforts of the NC Legislat

In what media outlets are calling a "redistricting bonanza," North Carolina GOP legislators have approved new US Congressional districts that target four current Democrat office-holders.  The redrawn lines have jeopardized the incumbencies of current Congressmen Larry Kissell (D-8), Brad Miller (D-13), Mike McIntyre (D-7), and Heath Shuler (D-11).

The potential for North Carolina to pick up three to four seats in the 2012 elections will keep national attention riveted on Congressional campaigns in the Old North State.
