Among the Dems, look for the ones with districts in Red States where Bush won in 04 and where a one or two of the Senators is a Rethug. If they had a close race in 06 then they may be vulnerable in 08 if they lose the independent votes.
Those are the reps who will be facing the most pressure in the post-veto fight over Iraq funding. They can't simply do nothing or look to extreme. Their positions must be defensible back home in their districts. They need a reasonable bill that gives them some cover when the thug machine starts to whir in their home states.
