Farenthold sits in a 60%+ Romney seat, so he's probably not vulnerable to a Democratic challenge. But a primary challenge now seems possible.
Wasn't this seat Democratic all the way until 2010? I thought Farenthold won originally by knocking off a Dem in the 2010 wave. It must have been filled by a yellow-dog.
Farenthold was a piece of driftwood in 2010, but redistricting made his district much more Republican.
Yes, it went from R+2 to R+13. If it was still R+2, maybe a Democrat could win, but he's totally safe in a general election in an R+13 district.
