Griffin took the seat in the 2010 Republican landslide and held it in 2012. Depending on how stupidly the Republicans in Congress behave, he might be vulnerable in 2014. The district does not look especially gerrymandered compared to many of the Republican seats after reapportionment. The Democrats controlled the governorship and the state legislature when the lines were drawn, though they won none of the four seats in 2012.
i am guessing she isn't going for a southern state. Even through the district looks good. There isn't a lot of room for her to move up.
