Off the top of my head I'd guess that the GA re-redistricting might make a seat down there look vunerable, but I've not been following that all that much.

I'd take a guess that the most vunerable Dem incumbent is Chet Edwards... thing is the Democrats aren't likely to lose that many House seats even if there's another swing against them; most of the naturally marginal seats currently have GOP congressmen.

Mind you... most seats that flip will be open 'uns.

I was really surprised that Chet survived last time.  I think it was only because the GOP ran a real extremist (even by my standards) against him.  I mean, his House seat voted like 60-40 to 67-33 for Bush (forget how much), and DeLay actually added more Republican areas to his CD.  As usual, there's always going to be a good chance he'll be defeated, next time won't be any different.

Let me start off by deflating a few Democrat balloons on this board, as well as some Republicans. (as I am want to do being the realist around here)

Simply put, let me predict that DeLay's seat will only go Democrat in this election if the Democrats take over the House.  Obviously neither is very likely, but it will take that type of turnaround to put his seat in any danger.
