Some suggestions:

IL-17 - for some reason this has flown under the radar nationally, but Phil Hare is a weak incumbent and a poor campaigner with very bad poll numbers and a strong challenger, Bobby Schilling.

OH-2 - think you could just take this district off?

NC-7, NC-11 - very little information about these races so far but could emerge as competitive quickly, depending on what outside groups get involved with how much $

WA-2 - an interesting one to watch - the Republican nominee (John Koster) won more votes than the incumbent Democrat (Rick Larsen) in the jungle primary

GA-2 - if black turnout is low, Sanford Bishop could be in trouble in this district

We could take OH-02 off the list but ....... not yet. It is in the bag for sure.

I agree on Schilling in 17; leaning his way. It is his to lose. Likewise with Kinsinger in 11 and Hultgren in 14. They’ll win unless they do/say something stupid and commit suicide (political).

IL 8 is the one where we blew the opportunity. For some reason the Republican primary voters chose a weak and flawed candidate. So it is our own fault that we lose that one.

Although unlikely, a Pollack win in Chicago is conceivable.
