This is a lot like election night ‘94, with Dan Rather babbling on at about midnight EST about some Dem having the chance of holding a Senate seat in WA, while both houses were flipping to the Republicans.

I hope so.

The last three times this Senate "class" has been up, the party that held a Senate majority has lost it.

R to D in the Democrat monster year of 2006.
R to Even in the 2000, when Gore won a slight plurality.
D to R in the Republican monster year of 1994.

There were probably others, but the only close race I remember in any of these elections where the party that lost the Senate won was Tennessee in 2006 (Corker over Ford). The Senate races look close today, and if BO loses small, I can see the Democrats holding the Senate, if they win a bunch of races by a little. So we need to keep working. Hard. And make sure that they lose all of the close races.
