If You Thought 2006 Was A Great Year for the Senate, Take a Look at 2008

I'm always the kind of person who likes to look ahead, and I was taking a look at the seats that will be up in the Senate in 2008. And things look really good. We're only defending 12 seats, almost all of which are safe.

2006 was supposed to be the hard year for us in the Senate, since six seats were seen as a tough road, particularly given that some of the seats were in deep red Virginia and Montana. But 2008 looks much different, with great opportunities for pickups in Colorada, Minnesota, New Mexico, Oregon, Tennessee and Virginia, and some good chances in North Carolina, New Hampshire and Kentucky. I'm probably most nervous about holding Louisiana, post-Katrina, and New Jersey, if Lautenberg retires.

Here's an excellent analysis of the 2008 state of play in the Senate by Markos at Daily Kos.
