That expenditure makes it harder for them to attack vulnerable House Dem freshmen, which may, in turn, give us a little more flexability in terms of how many races we can spend money on next year and where, potentially creating a wider number of pickup opportunities next November.

However, neither of these wins can be considered big wins for the GOP. These are solidly red districts. To try to make this out to be a big victory would be like bragging about how tough you are because you stepped on a cockroach.
