SENATE: Assuming that the Repub wins in Oregon (which I'm less certain of than others), and the moderately big Repub leads hold (COLORADO, SC, GA, NH, TX, ME, NC, etc.), this is where we stand:
The Republicans need to win one of the following 3 seats to take the Senate (50/50):
MN
MO
SD
That is, of course, if Chafee or McCain doesn't switch parties. It is far too early to celebrate.
