The point is to recruit some good primary challengers for some of the targets, and beat a few of them. You only have to beat very few of them to change the behavior of a lot more, as long as it's clear a) that it was part of an organized movement, and b) why that movement targeted the ones who lost (and therefore, what others can do to avoid being targeted).
P.S. That's how we won gay marriage in Massachusetts, flipping more than 60 votes in about three years. We only beat a few of them, but they never beat any of ours, and it was clear both that this was an organized movement, and the main reason they were vulnerable.
