I essentially agree with your analysis with the following caveats.

Santorum is very vulnerable in PA with Rendell also up for re-election... perhaps our most endangered Republican. This seat must be saved.

Top RATS to target: Dayton, Stabenow, Nelson of FL, and I would move Cantwell up, as well.

Destroy Jim Jeffords for his treachery.

We may have a freshman D in NJ if Corzine runs for governor in 2005 -- essentially an open seat.
