House "Death List" Leaked: GOP Screwed, Says GOP
 
Great post at DK.

Here are a few of the seats the GOP has already written off as gone:

AK-AL Young
AZ-01 Renzi (open)
FL-24 Feeney
IL-11 Weller (open)
MI-07 Walberg
NV-03 Porter
NC-08 Hayes
NY-13 Fossella (open)
NY-25 Walsh (open)
VA-11 Davis (open)

Under "Rating 2," nine Republican seats are listed as "leaning Democratic." Under "Rating 3," some 22 GOP seats are listed as "true toss-up." The fourth rating, "lean Republican," finds 15 seats in the category that comes with this warning: "If there's a wave, some could be in trouble." The last "likely Republican" rating finds another 11. Only three Democratic districts are seen as "hopeful" GOP pickups. They are Florida 16, Pennsylvania 11, and Texas 22. Another 10 Democratic seats are listed as "possible" pickups.

So the Republicans list 58 seats as competitive on their side, next to 13 on the democratic side.

CA-50: In the San Diego area, even in once solidly conservative district, independents appear to be swinging dramatically to the Democratic Party.

Democratic candidate Nick Leibham, in California's 50th district, currently trails Republican incumbent Brian Bilbray by just two points in his internals, 44% to 42%. Instructively, though, he leads among independents.

Here's the full list

Rank Key

5.) Seat is likely to go unless significant turn of events
4.) Leaning Democrat, expect to lose most of these seats unless there's serious change
3.) True toss-up, slight wing could push either way, environment is critical to these races
2.) Leaning Republican, if there's a wave, some could be in trouble
1.) Should be ok but if there's a wave, we could see a surprise.

Someone at DailyKos posted some polls that have her opponent at 47 and her at 44. I would still consider that a toss-up though.
