Freshman Districts Vulnerability Ranked

OK, it may be a little early to start worrying, since they haven't even been sworn in yet. But DavidNYC has a nifty chart at Swing State Project ranking each of the districts of incoming House of Reps freshman according to the "partisan voting index" (PVI). The chart provides a useful tool for evaluating which districts may be most vulnerable for Dems to defend in '08. Hopefully, the DNC, DCCC and Speaker-elect Pelosi will take note and allocate some assistance accordingly. The comments following the article offer some perceptive insights as well.
