I've had Rhode Island and Pennsylvania pegged as Republican losses for a few months now.  In the past year, I've pretty much written off Nebraska, North Dakota, West Virginia, and (nominally) Florida. 

I think Burns, Talent, and DeWine will retain their seats, but none will break 55%.  I think Tennessee will also stay in the Republican column.  I've thought Minnesota would be a strong possiblity to flip to the Republicans, but now I'm not so sure.  However, despite Klobuchar's seven point lead, I still wonder if she's the kind of candidate Minnesota will ultimately go for.  They've voted for moderate Republicans (Durenburger, Boschwitz) conservative Republicans (Pawlenty, Coleman) and down home populists, namely the late Senator Wellstone.  But a female county attorney from Minneapolis?  Would she necessarily generate enthusasiam in the counties in and around Minnesota's Iron Range and Arrowhead regions? 

It's the beginning of the year, and anything could happen.  But for the moment, I think Democrats are well positioned to pick up two seats.

I wouldn't put Minnesota as strong Democrat.
