I've heard that there are two Democratic seats in Georgia which look a bit dicey and heard the Republicans were making a fight of it in Vermont's at large district (of all places). Anyone going to bet on any districts?

Welcome to the forum!

There are only a couple Democratic-held seats that are competitive but quite frankly they probably won't flip.

The Georgia ones are two of them, Vermont is very much a long shot for Republicans.

The Republicans' best chance might be Illinois' 8th district, where Democrat Melissa Bean ousted a long-term Republican in 2004 in deep red territory.  In the House, Bean has a very moderate voting record (especially on fiscal issues-she voted for CAFTA) and has picked up the endorsement of the Chamber of Commerce.  Nevertheless, this is deep Republican country and the GOP thinks they have a chance.  However, given the national tide against the Republicans and Bean's voting record, I think she'll hang on.
