Thanks, I believe it is (I may have written one separately from that, however). Boy, I was really in a rotten mood when I wrote it up, just two days after the False Messiah’s coronation. Aside from a few points, it looks largely unchanged. 2010 just looks really lousy for us in the Senate.

The only states we have a shot in are CO (weak Dem appointee facing potential ugly primary), CT (damaged Dodd), IL (ditto with CO), NV (Reid), NY (ditto CO & IL), ND (only if Hoeven runs), and WV (if Byrd retires or dies and the Manchin appointee faces Capito).

But we conversely are in a precarious position in KY (if Bunning remains), LA (Vitter dicey), MO (where Robin Carnahan has been coronated and we have a potentially ugly Sarah Steelman-Roy Blunt primary), NH (no clear Gregg successor), NC (jinxed seat), OH (GOP disadvantage and Portman untested), PA (damaged Specter).

We’re almost going to have to sweep the “potential targets” for us to hold even, and if we hold them all, we may get as high as 48 or 49. Best case scenario. Worst case scenario, we goose egg the whole kit and kaboodle (unlikely) and we get down to 34 or 35 seats (and yes, that is possible, and the last time we dropped that low was in the mid ‘60s). We’re functioning at a de facto 38 seats right now, so the Dems can operate as they please in the Senate with the RINO apostates A.S.S. (Arlen-Susan-Snowe). It’s imperative we win a net minimum 3 seats with non-RINOs.
