I've never seen so many House seats in play in one party. I'm tracking four of the pundits who rate House races -- Cook, Rothenberg, Sabato and CQ.
Between the four an incredible 103 Democratic seats are in play. I think they have missed maybe 3 to 5 seats, but they may list them sooner or later.
24 seats are very slightly to strongly leaning Republican.
16 are pure toss ups to very slightly tilting Democratic.
25 are leaning Democratic
That means an incredible 65 seats are very seriously in play.
Another 38 seats are rated likely Democratic but at least one of the four, and two thirds of the cases two or more of the pundits.
Here is the list of the seats most likely to switch, based on the pundit average. In the event of a tie, my computer rating of the seat breaks the tie.

WE ARE COMING FOR YOU CONGRESS.
Oh Nancy! You got so ‘splainin’ to do!
Oh Nancy! You got so ‘splainin’ to do!
Mine is #17. Got to make Cousin Travis a blip from the past!
Incumbent Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin (D-SD) is down some 10 points to political newcomer Kristi Noem. Herseth-Sandlin who has not actually lived in SD for years, is running TV ads featuring her two year old kid, being a Mom and living in what would be a typical SD home. It’s all a sham, she doesn’t actually live in this state and that SD “home” I’m betting isn’t hers either as her husband works for a Washington, DC lobbying group and certainly is commuting from SD.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I see they are neatly arranged in numerical order.
I wonder if anyone thought to arrange them by state? Naw, that would be to easy to find your own gy.
Mine is “48 Murphy, P. PA8”.
I own you Murphy. Your going down.
Remember #71 that nasty Democrat Ciro Rodriguez should be replaced.
Here he is getting all angry at a town hall. (I love YouTube!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jENE5Nh6qIs
I nominate the “Kennedy seat” (open) in RI for #104.
Throw out all the traitors that voted for the vile HealthCare Bill!
Toss out any knucklehead that thinks the Cap n’ Trade tax is a good idea.
just do a ctl+f and type in your two letter state. Repeat until all are found
number 26 (Golden) Schauer is goin down.
Also I heard somewhere and I can't remember where that John Dingle was in trouble in Michigan.
This is all well and good,But it is over 2 Months till the election. We have to stay focused and keep working like we are 10 points down.
In Windows, just hit < CTRL> F and enter the candidate's name in the search box.
I prefer the no-stone-left-on-stone approach. If a single Donk is left, that's one Donk too many...
