Rothenberg's races are all on on the KHR list and all but a couple are Toss-Up R or better.

The Marston Chronicles has a fairly complete listing of the seats at risk that are ranked with the most vulnerable Dems at the top. The list predicts a very big Republican pickup based on historical Generic Ballot percentages.

The methodology for doing rankings is less than obvious but I'm sure there is at least a little science behind it. If it is a reasonably accurate list then the best investments that you could make in Republican candidates would be in the range from 30 to 50 on the list. The top of the list is pretty secure for the Republicans. The bottom of the list is tougher. So an obvious strategy is to target the securing of a 50 seat pickup (less a projected loss of 2 R seats). If things improve in October and more seats look secure then you start feeding money to the 50+ races.

If we only target 50 seats and the Democrats manage to hold 25% of them, they’ll stay in control of the House. We need to target 80-100 winnable seats (and, believe me, they’re out there).

Overall it looks promising. I do hope that the ‘Rat candidates’ cash walls aren’t too high to climb.
