North Carolina is the one state in the South whose white Democratic congressional delegation survived pretty much intact due to past Democratic gerrymandering.

Now that the tables have turned with the election of a newly Republican North Carolina legislature, how many of the following white southern Democrats (and I know they are white -I didn't see their names on a CBC membership list) do you think will survive redistricting?

Does anyone see any of these congressmen retiring to avoid potentially tough races with Republican opponents in a state increasingly tilting to the GOP, particularly with the legislature now firmly in Republican hands preparing to redraw their districts?  There were a number of southern white Democrats who bowed out of last year's mid-term election when they saw early on how devastating the Republican wave would be, particularly in the South -might the same now happen with those (particularly in North Carolina) who managed to survive?

Now that the new districts have been drawn and (apparently) approved by the Justice Department, is everyone still holding to their original predictions?
