Proportionally there are a lot more Republicans up for reelection than Democrats. Since there are almost 60 Democratic senators and exactly 40 Republican ones, the fact that the number of currently held seats up for reelection is almost 50-50 is a major advantage for the Democratic party(it'll be advantage GOP using this logic in 2012 and 2014).
Of course 06' was supposed to be an oppurtunity for the GOP to really bury the Democratic party and look how that turned out. Using my 15 months away from the election logic I say the GOP will pick up 2 seats when it's all said and done, but it won't be in states that are traditionally Democratic.
