Which out of the Longest 3 (KS, NJ, WV) will switch first?

I say next chance Kansas has is if Brownback wins in 08 or retires in 2010 and Sebelius runs.  For WV it's whenever one of the senators retires and Moore takes a run.  For NJ, who knows

I say West Virginia is the first to flip out of those
