Chris Cilliza has The Friday Line up today on the Top 50 House races most vulnerable to party switch.
Here's an excerpt:
House Democrats appear to have made some marginal gains since our last Friday Line but the party still appears headed toward a very difficult election on Nov. 2 with the loss of their majority still very much a possibility.
Republican strategists long fretted that September would be a difficult month for them as the Democratic financial advantage -- at the candidate and committee level -- was brought to bear. And, it was.
Unlike in Senate races where American Crossroads -- the leading conservative-aligned outside group -- spent heavily to make up the difference with Democrats, there was far less third party money spent on the GOP side in House contests in the month.
Friday Line
The result was a series of races where Democratic incumbents were able to drag themselves from the brink of electoral defeat by going negative early and often against their Republican opponents.
One good example of this trend: South Dakota Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (D) who appeared to be in deep trouble in August but improved her prospects over the last six weeks.
This is another story that is slightly more positive for House Democrats.
All the more reason to stay focused on the election.

I'd feel better if Nate Silver would say chances are improving for Dems in the House, but he hasn't done a House update this week.
Anyone else have any good news related to the House?
