Do We Have A List Of Senate Seats 'On The Bubble' For 2008 ???
I keep hearing that 2/3 of the Senate seats in 2008 are held by rePukes (which is good for our side's chances), but does anybody have a link to the complete Senate list for the 2008 election???

Thanks in advance!

1. Mary Landrieu and Tim Johnson on our side
John Sununu, Norm Coleman, Wayne Allard, and possibly Pete Domenici (he could become 2008's version of Jim Bunning.)

4. One good sign is that the GOP will have to defend more seats than Dems

5. The 2008 roster of Senate races
Of the 33 seats that will be up in 2008, Democrats currently hold 12 and Republicans hold 21. You can find a complete list, with a brief appraisal of what the 2008 race might look like in each state, here: http://electoral-vote.com/ (ignore the map, which is for the 2006 election, and scroll down).

The Votemaster, the proprietor of that site, offers this summary:

"The Democrats best shots at pickups are Norm Coleman (R-MN), Wayne Allard (R-CO), and John Sununu (R-NH). The Republicans best shots at pickups are Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and Tim Johnson (D-SD). One Democrat might retire--Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), but as many as six Republicans might retire: Wayne Allard (R-CO), Thad Cochran (R-MS), Pete Domenici (R-NM), James Inhofe (R-OK), Ted Stevens (R-AK), and John Warner (R-VA)."
