The WashPost's Chris Cillizza again lists Republican Jim Gerlach's surburban Philly congressional seat among those likely to switch to Dem in 2010:
7. Pennsylvania's 6th district (R): The demographics of this suburban Philadelphia district are trending away from the Republican party and Rep. Jim Gerlach (R)
knows it. After narrowly hanging on against a third tier (at best)
opponent in 2008, Gerlach is exploring runs for governor or Senate in
2010 -- an acknowledgment that running for re-election in this seat is
a treacherous proposal. Doug Pike, a former member of
the Philadelphia Inquirer editorial board, is personally wealthy and
already in the race against Gerlach. With or without the incumbent,
this is a tough hold for the GOP. (Previous ranking: 9)
