Way too early to make even educated predictions. Two years ago, we would have considered the seats of Wellstone, Cleland and Toricelli locks, for example. A lot can happen in the next year (and then we'll start to have a clue). All of the 'Rat strongholds can be contested with the right candidates. I expect the Bush/Rove team to come up with a good slate of candidates to run next year and ride the Bush wave to victory. No 'Rat seat is safe!

You might want to ping the NC & Edwards list...

Good points.

As I looked at the '02 Senate races in late 2000, I thought Gordon Smith would be our most vulnerable incumbent and Max Baucus would be the RATS' most vulnerable. As it turns out, they both won rather easily.

That said, I like the general looks of things from the GOP perspective. We have a legit shot to pick up a number of seats in '04.

This is interesting, but a lot can happen in two years. Perhaps Willam will update the thread in 6, 12, 18 and 23 months.
