I think that we have a shot at Specter, particularly if the republican primary is bloody. However, Specter will probably be portrayed as a liberal by Toomey and that may make him more appealing to swing voters.

Our best shot for a pickup in the House looks like its Toomey's district. It seems like a complete tossup and it will probably just depend on who runs the best campaign and who has the most money.

Gerlach could also be vulnerable and we better get him now because the longer he stays there the stronger he will be. Too many republicans are in swing districts in the northeast and we can never seem to beat them after a few elections.

I doubt that we can beat Hart. She seems pretty strong and he would be a big surprise if we ousted her.

We should be able to hold Hoeffel's district. It leans democratic and if the democratic candidate runs a solid campaign it should stay in the democratic column.

Those other three seats are clearly republican but if the did open up democrats might have some chance but it is unlikely that the republicans will retire anytime soon.
