Are those pick ups or holds? OK would be a hold, but what a hold.
"Are those pick ups or holds? OK would be a hold, but what a hold."
Any of the three that I mentioned would be pick-ups (NC, SC & GA). The Dems have 5 southern senators whose terms expire this year who are not running for re-election. In addition to those three, there is also Lousiana and Florida. I haven't heard anything about these last two.
Republicans only have 3 incumbents not running (OK, CO & IL). Of these IL will almost certainly be lost, OK looks like it will stay republican and I don't know about Colorado.
Barring a major diaster between now and November, it is hard to see republicans not picking up at least one or two senate seats, with 3 or 4 quite possible.
