Updated House Rankings

Yesterday we updated our list of vulnerable House seats. In the wake of the Foley scandal it is worth checking out. PA-10 continues to move up, and with scandal back in the news the incumbent Don Sherwood who has his own little scandal because of a 5-year affair (Sherwood has admitted the affair, but denies charges that he assaulted the woman) looks to be in big time trouble and is now our most vulnerable incumbent. NY-26 where NRCC chair Tom Reynolds had been relatively safe is now clearly in a race for his personal political survival against wealthy businessman Jack Davis. Open seats continue to be the biggest problem for the GOP and make up 6 of the top 10 most vulnerable with FL-16 and OH-18 as new entrants. The highest ranked Democratic seat IL-8 continues to drop and doesn't hit the list until #31.
