    What about Hoyer?

    Any ad campaign in his district?

    Unfortunately, he's not really vulnerable right now. There was some talk of trying to recruit a credible primary challenger for him -- and, ultimately, that too is a critical weapon -- but it didn't work out. For a lot of reasons, credible primary challengers are hard to find, especially when it comes to very well-funded power brokers like Hoyer.

    So in the short-term, it's important to target the ones who are vulnerable. That's how it will have the greatest impact, really be heard.
