There's been a lot of talk about the GOP cleaning up in Hillary states, so these seats seem most likely to flip, if that is true. I think it'd be interesting to test that theory. I would suggest districts 3 (Dahlkemper), 4 (Altmire), 7 (open-Sestak), and 11 (Kanjorski) for sure, but 8 (Murphy), 10 (Carney), and 12 (Critz) could be interesting as well. You also could check in on Gerlach in 6 and Dent in 15 to see how they're holding up, being a couple of the very few potentially vulnerable House Republicans this cycle.BpFishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-73150923087402684522010-08-11T13:14:34.814-05:002010-08-11T13:14:34.814-05:00The Il-10 race is important and close.
