MIM – The 2011 House Playing Field

The 2011 House Playing Field

In the Republicans quest for 62 seats in the House, they have several seats that would make good candidates for pickup opportunities. It’s still very early, the challengers have not been proven yet in many cases, but here is a new look at some of those seats now that we have redistricting (temporarily) settled and the qualification period has ended.

I figured it was easier to do this comprehensive look then another ‘Top 10’ like I did in May. I may switch back to that in July.

The first thing to look at is the open Democratic seats. There are a total of seven seats that should be competitive, with another race where the Democratic incumbent qualified as an independent.
