Would Obama Win Re-Election While Losing The Senate?

[pbrower2a]

There's little wriggle room for the Democrats holding onto the Senate.  Any Democrat who won with less than 57% of the popular vote in 2006 or later  should be considered vulnerable for now except perhaps  Cardin and Whitehouse. There just aren't any easy GOP targets; the Democrats picked up about everything possible in 2006.  The only imaginable Democratic pickups are MA, ME (should Olympia Snowe face a teabag challenge), NV (should the Republicans either stick with Ensign or go with someone as dreadful as Angle), or IN (should right-wingers tea--bag Lugar).

The right-wing hate machine will be out in 2012, every bit as loud and vile as in 2010, and it is as easy for me to see the Democrats losing six seats as picking up even one.
