Bean's seat is pretty much it. Both of the Georgia seats are safer than thought. Marshall is a fairly conservative Democrat and I think was up 20 points against his likely opponent, Barrow's district was made much less Democratic, but still voted for Kerry and is Democratic-leaning. Not the type of seat to flip this year.

The GOP initially tried for WV-01 due to the incumbent's ethical problems, but polls have him way ahead and they appear to be abandoning it.

It didn't help that they managed to pick a candidate with a few ethical problems of his own

Also he's an Arab American.

He's not Muslim and it's pathetic if that's a real drag, but I can't see it playing too well among Republican voters in rural West Virginia.
