Thread: House Seats Most Likely to Flip in November

House Seats Most Likely to Flip in November

August 15, 2010 at 6:09pm

From NBC's Chuck Todd, Mark Murray, Domenico Montanaro, and Ali Weinberg

This is a slight change to our normal Friday Top 10 list, but today we’re listing what we consider the 64 House seats most likely to switch parties in the fall. (No. 1, for instance, is the seat we consider most likely to flip.) For Republicans to take back the House, they need to pick up a NET of 39 seats. (So if Democrats are able to win three or four GOP seats, as they’re hoping to do, then Republicans must win 42 or 43 Democratic seats.)

Political journalists and junkies -- clip and save this list, because it gives you a good idea of where the House battlefield is and whether or not Republicans can reach a net of 39 seats on Election Night. There are 55 Democratic-held seats on this list, and nine GOP-held ones.

1. TN-6 (D-Open-Gordon retiring)
