We need 15 Congressional Seats for majority - where are we getting them? [View All]

Current House Breakdown:

232 Republicans**
202 Democrats
1 Independent who votes Democrat
_____________________________
435 Members of the House

(**There is actually a vacant seat opened from Cunningham's retirement but for now let's keep it in the Republican side. If we can win that seat, it'll be a plus for us)

In a nutshell we need 10 brand new democratic seats AND we need to hold on to the seats we have. 15 seats would give us the majority and that means Pelosi in charge and Waxman the chairman of Government Reform committee (think if the reforming that man could do!) Conyers would have free reign to impeach & censure his heart out and Pelosi would insist that Murtha introduce the legislation to set the timetable for pullout.

Of course no guarantee of success, we still have the senate and of course the chimp to contend with. But it'll be a great start!

So my question is this - where are we going to get 15 brand new seats especially knowing that there are only about 30-40 seats that are actually competitive.

I'm thinking we can pick up 2 in Pennsylvania. We have strong contenders running against Jim Gerlach and Mike Fitzpatrick who are both ripe for the pickings. I'm also thinking that we could possible get some back in Texas with the redistricting fiasco & Tom Delay indictment.

Where else? What seats are held by republicans that could be taken by a democrat?
