Normally Alaska would be out, but Knowles is popular, Murkowski's appt. of his own daughter didn't go well, and she is pro-choice. --Louisiana is crazy b/c John Breaux is stepping down --Same with Florida and Graham. --South Carolina is weird and would normally go Republican, but Inez Tannenbaum is a Dem and very popular --North Carolina hasn't shaken out --Colorado is normally Republican, but Salazar is immensely popular --Pennsylvania, Specter is running in the primary against a wingnut Toomey, possibly opening up a reasonable shot by Hoeffel. --South Dakota has a tough race, though Daschle is nominally up there --Oklahoma has a strong Dem nominee in what should be a Republican seat The thing is Dems have to pick up seats and have more states to defend so it'll be tough to hold, but we'll see. I'll do a full post laying out the terrain later. I don’t think anyone thinks the Dems winning the Senate is likely, but there are scenarios.

–Illinois is considered the most likely to switch to Democratic.
–Georgia is most likely to become officially Republican
–Alaska has a weird race with the popular former Democratic Governor Tommy Knowles running against the daughter of current Governor Frank Murkowski. Normally Alaska would be out, but Knowles is popular, Murkowski’s appt. of his own daughter didn’t go well, and she is pro-choice.
–Louisiana is crazy b/c John Breaux is stepping down
–Same with Florida and Graham.
–South Carolina is weird and would normally go Republican, but Inez Tannenbaum is a Dem and very popular
–North Carolina hasn’t shaken out
–Colorado is normally Republican, but Salazar is immensely popular
–Pennsylvania, Specter is running in the primary against a wingnut Toomey, possibly opening up a reasonable shot by Hoeffel.
–South Dakota has a tough race, though Daschle is nominally up there
–Oklahoma has a strong Dem nominee in what should be a Republican seat
The thing is Dems have to pick up seats and have more states to defend so it’ll be tough to hold, but we’ll see. I’ll do a full post laying out the terrain later.

Which ones? Taking back the Senate in play? AP-

It should be fun. I suspect the ‘hard right’ is going to work hard to keep Obama from becoming our next Senator and the hard left is going to work hard to keep Jack out.
