Most of the recalls were in traditionally Republican districts that never elected anyone but Republicans, there was no realignment. The result of the Senate race depends on Obama winning the state or not, split results in Senate races and Presidential elections are rare. If Obama wins, the Dem Senate candidate wins too.
