I think both Senate seats will now be in contention in November. If republicans can resist the temptation to self destruct, they should be able to pick up one.

Not a chance. The Minnesota Republicans haven't been able to find a name challenger to Klobuchar. Who are they going to get to run for Franken's seat against Smith?

Some have mentioned Michelle Bachmann. Many on another thread on this subject didn’t want her to run for Senate, however.

I hate to lose an election just by default, which is what will happen if no prominent Republican steps forward.
