Democrats: Would losing seats in bluish states bother you "that much?"

[sg0508]

I would actually think it's more the toss-up seats in the purplish states/districts that would hurt more.  As a former moderate republican and now independent, I typically vote for Democrats, but I'm much, much more inclined to favor the GOP in the bluish states for governor and in the House.  True, I don't know much about a lot of these candidates, and there's always a chance that you get a Paul LePage (R-ME) in office, but would losing one of the districts in HI/MA really get to you? I suppose yes, you wouldn't want the GOP to find some stars deep in the bowels of those solidly blue presidential/senatorial seats, but like we've seen, minority party reps/governors tend to have to govern from the middle, making them more popular and more productive.  

Just a thought? I'm sure most would say"yes it would, as we should NEVER lose house seats and (more frequently) statehouses in the solid blue states", but I'm curious as to the discussion we can have.
