I thought I would add my two-cents to the ranging debate about which House races to focus on. I have put together a list of Sixty Challenging seats. I also added another 43 seats which might be worth keeping our eyes on. My key belief is that you must judge each races on its own, using all the factors available and then make calls. You would ingore a race like IN 8 if you just counted Bush Numbers on a formula, or ignore a race like PA 7 because of past performance. A race like KY Senate was responded too lately which cost us a Senate Seat, plain and simple. It is with that in mind that I present my 60 races.
