I would rate CA (Fiorina) as a tossup. Not a Boxer lead.

I fully expect that ALL Blue States will have election chicanery, with trunkloads of absentee ballots being discovered, no voter ID allowed, and multiple "disenfranchisement" claims, as they move to high-gear, Chicago-style electioneering.

This will be the biggest voting fiasco in history, as far as stealing elections go.

Dear Senators Warner and Webb (D) Virginia:

Your names will be on this list in 2012 & 2014. Between now and then - You're fired! Reason: You haven't represented us; you have facilitated the destruction of the Constitutional rights that so many Virginians risked their lives and fortunes to secure. We are not as gullible and ill-informed as you might think.

But Newsweek and MSNBC were saying that there is nothing for the Dems to worry about because 35% of Americans blame Bush, which they interpret to mean that the GOP only has a chance of winning 65% of the vote.

[Seaplaner]

The current list includes 5 states where Republicans hold solid leads... two states where the GOP holds a narrow lead... 3 states where the race is essentially even...and 3 states where Democrats hold small and shrinking leads...

Can you guess why the Dems are totally wee-weed up about this?

Think about the turnout of the Beck Rally vs the Sharpton rally, with some estimates at the ratios at (roughly) between 100 and 150 to one.

Simply transmogrify rally attendance energy to voter energy, and you can see why congressional Dems seem so sneeringly angry and inconsolably depressed.

In the Second District of Virginia we have two Democrats (one of whom is a RINO who thought Cash for Clunkers was just nifty and also donated money to Barry) running against an Independent (who used to be a GOP chair and would likely caucus with the Republicans anyway). It is a mess! We ended up with 6 candidates in the Primary. With the exception of one anomaly who liked to discuss the merits of breast feeding and tattoos, any of the others would have been spectacular candidates Vs the RINO we have now. If this RINO pulls it off, then it will be due to his having an “R” next to his name, BUT he is no authentic “R”. In short, the political RINO machine is working overtime in this neck of the woods, so we cannot count on anything good from the much more deserving 2nd District of VA.

They have been reading my post again....

The VA seat is one of the 3 or 4 seats that Santorum claims will need to be sworn is ASAP post the election. With that said, they are the block

My guess is the Dems know they will loose the house and will throw everything to save these below. The Unions will poney up the dough and get bupkis in terms of a return on their investment, voters are that pi$$ed.

Note these are all Potential Republican pickups, not a Republican replacing a Republican Seat.

1.) California, Fiorina,
2.) Colorado, Buck
3.) IL, Kirk,
4.) Nevada, Angle
5.) Washington, Rossi,
6.) Wisconsin, Johnson
7.) Connecticut, McMahon,
8.) PA, Toomey,
9.) Delaware, Christine O'Donnell
10.) Arkansas, Boozman
11.) North Dakota, Hoeven
12.) West Virgina, the Byrd Seat, Raese

The long shots...

OR, Hoffman over Widen
The NY seats, Gillibrand and Schumer

I have been saying 12 for months.

And I have said and still say, WV won’t happen. Too much is going on their to make it happen. It is the GOP’s fault.

But now they have a new chairman, and MAYBE he will end the internal wars, reach out to the old chairmen who have been tossed aside along with their supporters and truly unite the party.

If we LOSE WV, which is all very likely, it will be BECAUSE the GOP has failed to LEAD and is a classic “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss” problem.

Wake up WV GOP! You have this one if you can stomach working WITH and reaching out TO every Republican.

[DoughtyOne]

No offense intended here, but the talk of leads is best held off until the day after the election.

If we have the lead on that day, I’ll celebrate with everyone.

Nose to the grindstone until then...
