, meehan, smucker, lobiondo -- those are the names they keep raising. >> well, meehan, in particular, think, is one of those folks who is a middle-of-the-road. he really reflects that district. he won 60-40 last time. i think he's a safe seat. i think some of the other races you look at -- >> what about costello? he's always number one on the list that people say is gonna be vulnerable. >> yeah, costello's in some trouble. he has a really credible challenger in chrissy houlahan, who is a military vet, an entrepreneur. she was part of that group that started the basketball-apparel company and1, and has worked in the nonprofit sector. she could be this area's amy mcgrath, who is running in kentucky as a military veteran. >> if you haven't seen the political ad, it may be the best political ad i've ever seen. go look it up on youtube. >> yeah. and i think chrissy houlahan might be that kind of candidate. >> you got to look at it's the most gerrymandered district in the country. i think costello, like meehan, middle-of-the-road republican, tough opponent, but he's taken some tough votes.

pat meehan holds it.e's got the most money on hand of almost any congressman in the nation, certainly any in pennsylvania. these are two skilled legislators who i think will survive. these races will be in play, but we're ready to defend them. >> so democrats trying to do town halls, also using healthcare obviously as one of the controversial bulletpoints in their list of areas of discomfort. >> well, one of the big problems on our side of the aisle is that we're gonna have aggressive primaries in which we're gonna have democratic candidates challenging each other. and in those primaries, it's very likely to yield the kind of content that then gives rise to more conflict in the head-on head race for the general election. my biggest concern on the democratic side is we need to be vetting good candidates to run, and we need to figure out a way to consolidate primaries in such a way that we're behind a candidate. i'm especially focused on that race in wisconsin where i think a rising candidate is gonna be ab

and i know somebody ran in 7, not pat meehan but somebody else, and i asked him, "where are you callingt believe it. as much as i thought i knew where the 7th congressional district is. yeah. >> there are a million more democrats in the state, registered democrats. forget independents or any other party, right? a million more democrats in the state, and the congressional district is not at least split 50/50? there is something wrong with how the lines are being drawn. and i think the difficulty has been in figuring out, is there an independent way of redrawing the lines? and my understanding is, there's some great mathematicians out there who can figure some of this out. so i'm looking forward to seeing some kind of independent commission and some mathematicians to get us to the fact that we have representation that represents the registered voters in this state. >> i'm gonna guess that the republican line on this would be, "well, you guys are just trying to find a backdoor into winning elections." democrats are trying to play dirty too. >> no, i'll say that differently. the voting righ
