Democratic Strategists Say Damage Control Prevented More Election Losses

From The New York Times:

As bad as election night was for House Democrats, top party strategists say it could have been far worse.

After sorting through the debris left behind by the Republican wave that swamped them, officials at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said the difficult decision to cut off campaign spending on Democrats whose races had slipped out of reach and then spend the money elsewhere ultimately saved 15 to 20 seats.
