[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More Republicans are trying to move up than move out, though, right? I don't know that we can read disillusionment with their party if they are seeking higher office. [/quote]
18 House Republicans are trying to move up (into the Senate) or out (as Governors). All the others are retiring.[/quote]

I had recenty read that 19 are moving up, 16 leaving politics, plus the 5 who have already vacated seats for a mix of reasons. Maybe those numbers are inaccurate? Even if it is closer, it does seem like most Republicans are fine with the way their party is governing. [/quote]

Is it 19 are moving up or 19 are running for guv/Senate? Redistricting can trigger unexpected consequences - sometimes a House D or a House R is drawn out of the CD they've held so throw in the towel for that seat and gamble on higher office, even in states where their party hasn't had a lot of success in statewide races. Then House Rep Joe Donnelly (IN) took that gamble, ran for Senate, and won. He did only serve one term, but it was six more years then he would have served if he had run for his old seat or resigned.

Some might also want out of the House, which feels more dysfunctional than the Senate at this time.[/quote]
