I have been putting together a series of profiles of U.S. House of Representatives races to focus on in 2006. We currently hold 202 seats plus one independent who is a DIABN--a Dem in all but name--Bernie Sanders of Vermont. The GOP has 232 seats. Therefore, a net gain of 15 seats gives the Dems control, 218-217 (it won't depend on Sanders because he is running for the Senate and will almost certainly be replaced by a Dem or GOPer). I started the series by profiling 74 seats held by GOPers that because of demographics and/or issues with the incumbents could be vulnerable to takeover. I finished that series with a (mostly) objective ranking of these seats by vulnerability. That analysis (plus links to the individual district profiles) can be found here: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/9/23/173131/345
