House Races in 2010
This year, there are more than 90 vulnerable House seats.
‘Hey Jim, could you put together a list of
House races where it’s either an open seat race or a vulnerable
incumbent?” the editors ask, oh-so-innocently.
Do they have
any idea how much work that entails? Scott Brown won a Senate race in
Massachusetts by a healthy margin this year — you can find a list of
winnable House seats by starting at page one of Michael Barone’s
Almanac of American Politics and working your way to the index. It might be shorter to list the Democrats who
aren’t vulnerable this year.
Once you add up the upcoming special elections, the open-seat races,
and the races where there’s some indicator of trouble for a Democratic
opponent — a particularly strong challenger, favorable district
demographics, surprising fundraising numbers, a particularly weak
Democratic incumbent, or a combination of these factors — you come up
with more than 90 House races. If the GOP wins only half the seats
listed below, they win back the House.
