DCCC targets Peter King's seat as in-play for 2018 election

The seat held by 13-term Republican Rep. Peter King was added Thursday to the Democratic list of districts the party views as vulnerable enough to flip in the 2018 midterm election.

The DCCC is eying 91 total GOP-held seats for 2018.

About time. Let the voters do the counting this time, and toss his ass right back into Long Island Sound.
