As a Morse supporter it’s hard not to cheer for Neal now.

Yes because the Intercept is the only one reporting that has reported this.

All of the new updates that supposedly make this look more and more like a hit are from The Intercept. They post these stories like the MA Dems coordinating with the students and the ED of the state party telling them to delete their communications, but none of these stories show any evidence of that.

They do, but whatever keep sucking that Democratic party tit.

Can you point me to that evidence then? I literally don't see it anywhere in the article.

Shameful that the homophobic smear campaign dragged a promising candidate through the mud.

Here's hoping Morse comes back in 2022 and annihilates Neal.

High probability that redistricting removes some of the more progressive Morse-friendly towns from this district and Neal becomes even safer

Massachusetts has had two successful House primary challenges in the last decade (Moulton and Pressley)

Not quite a fair comp, Moulton took out a fairly corrupted incumbent who almost lost the general the previous year despite it being a Dem district and a good Dem year, and MA-07 has the activist types. Otherwise MA remains a very incumbent-friendly state.

That'd be incredibly difficult to do. Many of Morse's best towns were from Berkshire county, which borders Vermont. It'd be very difficult to finagle MA-01 and MA-02 to get rid of these towns, especially since both seats need to expand eastward.

It's much more likely that Neal's seat becomes less safe for him after redistricting just due to population trends, not vice versa.

Dude I didn't just like, make that up. But go off.

"Neal’s political impregnability is likely to increase when Massachusetts’ Democratic-controlled legislature draws new congressional districts to reflect changes in population distribution recorded in the 2020 census. Poll watchers expect lawmakers in the Bay State to cut some of the more liberal parts of his district in Franklin and Hampshire counties out of his seat."
