Senate Races in 2006

Here are the Senate Races for 2006 and my preliminary projections:

Senate Races (33)
State
Republicans (15)
State
Democrats (17)
AZ
Kyl REELECTED
CA
Feinstein REELECTED
IN
Lugar REELECTED
CT
Lieberman REELECTED
ME

MO

FL
Nelson DEFEATED AND REPLACED BY A REPBLICAN
MS

HI

MT
Burns DEFEATED AND REPLACED BY A REPUBLICAN
MD
Sarbanes REELECTED
NV
Ensign REELECTED
MA
Kennedy REELECTED (SADLY)
OH
DeWine REELECTED
MI
Stabenow RELECTED in a tough fight
PA
Santorum REELECTED in a tough fight
MN
Dayton Dayton, a complete embarassment to the state, has announced he will not seek re-election. I predict that this seat will go to the GOP.
RI
Chafee REELECTED
NE
Nelson RELECTED
TN
Frist He has announced he will not seek re-election; he wants the White House. The seat will remain GOP.
NJ
Corzine He will move over to the Governor's office in NJ, and the seat will go to the GOP.
TX
Hutchinson REELECTED
NM
Bingaman REELECTED
UT
Hatch REELECTED
NY
Clinton REELECTED unless Rudy G. takes her on; he could defeat her, and end her presidential aspirations. If Rudy gets in, Hilary could get out--just to avoid such a defeat.
VA
Allen REELECTED
ND
Conrad RELECTED
WY
Thomas REELECTED
WA
Cantwell REELECTED sadly
WV
Byrd He will be 89 in 2006. He is an embarassment, and ought to quit. If he does, the seat could go GOP.
WI
Kohl REELECTED
VT
Jeffords RELECTED because Green Mountain voters have developed a taste for moronic quislings (see also DEAN, Howard; SAUNDERS, Bernie and LEAHY, Patrick).

BOTTOM LINE: another good election cycle for the GOP; I see a pick up of 3-5 Senate seats.
