Titus and Derby on DCCC “Red to Blue” List

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) just added Nevada’s Dina Titus to their Red to Blue program and have Jill Derby on their “emerging” races list. In 2006, the program pumped $22.6 million into 56 congressional campaigns.

It should be a big boost, financially-speaking, for Titus who already has a 23k registered voter advantage working for her in the race against GOP incumbent Jon Porter (NV-3).

One, though, probably shouldn’t expect Derby to move up into the actual program given the dynamics of her rematch against incumbent Dean Heller (NV-2). Republicans hold a 30k advantage in the district and Heller won’t have the effects of a bruising primary, like he did in 2006, to contend with.
