I Would say the consensus is CO,NH,VA and MN with LA as the token loss (The GOP has to win SOMETHING at this point). I would say that MN and LA are the swing races.

So, I will go with 3, bringing the total to 52-2-46, though 51-2-47 and 53-2-45 are also just as likely.  This is provided that the parties attain parody - conservative fatigue. If there is a reccesion, ME and OR will be wiped out. If Iraq can be spun into a continual mandate (we have won, but must stay anyway) or if the economy strengthens, CO will push back to the right.

I do think another seat will develop for Republicans as something (at least remotely) "competitive" by Election Day.  Personally, I think it'll be New Jersey, though I doubt the GOP will actually wind up winning it.

Republicans can't afford to play 100% defense when they're facing some sure losses.
