State Legislatures and Redistricting

I honestly think Republicans are safe at winning back Indiana. I know of at least three districts that will definitely be flipping over, and that's only in my area. I'm sure there are others statewide.

Which ones?  I assume the Vincennes seat is one of them.

I had Battles in mind for a loss. I'm not sure how well you know your Representatives, but Vern Tincher, who's my representative, is retiring. Bob Heaton (barely lost to Tincher in 2008) is running again and should comfortably win. Nancy Michael is also in some serious trouble, as is Goodin and Blanton. And as far out as it sounds, I think Grubb could face a serious challenge as well from Sharon Negele.

Any other seats you had in mind? I mainly know about Southwest Indiana.

I have seen proposed ideas in Indiana that would basically cut Indianapolis up enough to put Carson in deep danger in 2012. Donnelly also won't be safe, especially if there's a anti-Democratic mood. Visclosky is the only Democrat who should be completely safe from redistricting.
