They could strengthen the 7th and 10th so that they're no longer competitive and it wouldn't be too hard to turn the 2nd blue...

Maybe two is possible, but it would risk a few of those seats being competitive. The western half of the state is just too red to get three.

Also - the harder we push the less likely the voters are to approve it. VA isn't CA
