Of the 20 Democratic incumbents targeted last year in Sarah Palin’s controversial map, only two remain in office, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., who was wounded in the shooting rampage this weekend in Tucson.

Other than Giffords, Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., was the only member in Palin’s targeted 20 to keep his seat after the midterm election.
