I'd still flip AL-02, ID-01,MS-04 and SD-AL and WV-01. Those districts were just too red for Democrats to hold even with Obama popular.

On the other hand, I'd be inclined to have Democrats hold FL-08, IL-11, IL-14, IL-17, NH- 01, all New York Districts that flipped OTL and weren't mentioned above, and flip IL-06, IL-13, IA-04, MN-03.

I'd also give serious consideration to flipping WV-03, but then again, it didn't flip OTL....

 From an article on CNN.com:
   Two years into Obama's presidency these diner patrons in Ohio are still conflicted in their votes. Former USAF member turned factory worker Jeb Smith says that while he's happy his healthcare premiums have gone down by up to 80% he is still worried that those premiums could be used to cover abortions. Construction worker John Lee voted for McCain in 2008 because he agreed with Republican social policies, although he's still convinced that voting for the Republican in 2012 will likely be a better idea despite the infrastructure bill funding several projects that his company works on (indeed he came to the diner for his lunch break after a morning of repairing a highway overpass). As for his friend David Jones, he's going to be voting for Obama. Like the other two, he voted for McCain in 2008, but Jones lost his job in November of 2008 after Bush's TARP bill didn't get any money to his modestly-sized factory. He decided to give the President a chance, and is quite satisfied. His new job is as a quality control specialist at the Kawasaki-GM Locomotive Plant in Mahoning County, which is a new joint venture that manufactures high-speed train cars such as the Shinkansen.
   President Obama's administration was involved in the negotiations, and Jones also credits the president's health care bill for ensuring that his family had coverage during the months he was employed, saying that his family of four only pays $150 to $200 per month for excellent coverage that would have previously cost several grand per month, which wouldn't have been affordable, even on his relatively high salary of $60,000 per year, especially since his daughter has a pre-existing condition. Jones says that instead of getting an annual notice that his rate would go up, Americare told him that his premiums should go down several dollars next year. He has also begun attending county democratic meetings (like seemingly almost all Ohioans, Jones is a registered Democrat, despite his voting history), along with many of his friends. The President's approval rating has gone down roughly 10 points nationwide since he took office (still quite good at around 60%), but these are the people that make that number closer to 70% in Ohio.

Do you have something against Lincoln Chafee and/or Frank Caprio?

The outgoing Governor in Rhode Island (Caiceri) was really unpopular (it's a thing with Rhode Island Governors), so I would expect Democrats to pick up the seat, unless there's a massive Republican wave for some reason.

I think one of Chafee/Caprio wins, probably Caprio, since this is apparently a more Democratic year.
