Looks that way, thank God.
Does anyone know how the Senate seats to be defended in 2008 break down, R vs. D? Hope we can keep it, even if it's razor thin.

You won't like the answer. In 2008 the GOP has to defend 22 Senate seats and the RATS only 12. This is because we did so well in the 2002 cycle. Frankly, I'm glad that it will be a presidential year.
