E: 6.19, S: -2.78

I can't recall the reasons for each state in reaching these tallies, but here's the bottom line:

If all the breaks go the Republicans' way, the GOP will net +7.
If all the breaks go the Democrats' way, then the GOP will net +3.

A -3 result would be a real victory for Democrats defending 23 seats against their opponents' 10, especially considering that all of these 23 seats were ones the Democrats won in the "wave year" of 2006.

Btw, we need to change the filibuster rules.  It's ridiculous to require 60 votes for nearly everything.
