Some more updates:

McCain: on second though, Stephen Moore says he probably can't put together 1 mil to help a Flake primary challenge, so we may be stuck with him for another 6, though he could, of course, retire (PLEASE!!!)

I'm pretty sure neither Voinovich, Nickles, or Grassley has committed to running again. Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone?

Likely open seat in Hawaii (uh . . .) and possible one in Connecticut (Dodd is STILL thinking about running!)

Challengers: Burr in NC, Gibbons in Nev, DeMint-et-al in SC

In the following RAT Races, the status is listed:

South Carolia-DeMint vs. Hollings, or DeMint vs. RAT
North Carolina-Burr vs. Edwards, or Burr vs. RAT
Georgia-GOP Congressman vs. unelectable RAT
Arkansas-Hutchinson or Huckabee vs. Lincoln
Wisconsin-Ryan is out; Thompson? vs. Feingold
South Dakota-Thune or Janklow vs. King RAT Daschle
North Dakota-Schafer? vs. Dorgan (polls close)
Washington-Dunn or Nethercutt vs. Dim Murray
California-GOP congressman vs. Boxer

The races above will probably be toss-ups or close.
In the two Dakota races, I've seen polls showing both within 5 points.

There are two RAT seats in Democratic seats, but we could have good candidates.

New York-Rudy or Peter King vs. Wile E. Coyote Schumer (he stands just like Wile E. Coyote)
Maryland-Connie Morrella or switched Democrat vs. Barbara Mikluski

There are very, very few competitive GOP seats

Illinois-Fitzgerald vs. RAT. (Fitzgerald, despite rumors, is comforably ahead of even the strongest Democrats)
Pennsylvania-Bush and Santorum have scuttled Toomey, leaving Specter free to stomp his RAT opponent.
Ohio-Even if Voinovich doesn't run, Blackwell can waltz into the seat. As a Republican, he would be heavily favored in the state. Imagine liberals then?
Alaska-the seat I'm most worried about. Will Knowles run? Could Murkowski hold the seat?
