I'd say we see as much gerrymandering to benefit a party or potential allies as much as we see to protect a specific incumbent. That latter happens occasionally but the beneficiaries strike me as being people who aren't even in office yet as often as not.
A minor point to be sure, but something that caught my eye anyway.
