I like you to explain about ' first layer, second tier.'
By now, Republicans had hoped to put away a first layer of Democrats and set their sights on a second tier of incumbents. But the fight for control of Congress is more fluid than it seemed at Labor Day, with Democrats mounting strong resistance in some parts of the country as they try to hold off a potential Republican wave in November.

Ah I think I read the same article recently. It means the Republicans hoped to do so well with the first group of candidates they were supporting against the Democrats that they could move to a second set of Democratic incumbents, but it hasn't been that easy to put away the first group. |
