9. The best part of the 2008 senate races is...

Dems have to defend 12 seats, Repubs have to defend 21.

There are some pretty strong rumors that some high profile Rs are going to retire as well, making them possible pick-ups for the good guys. (Would Mark Warner in VA face a serious challenge if John Warner retired?)

I am usually very much a pessimist, but I can definitely see Dems netting at least 2-3 seats in the Senate (to show I'm a pessimist, on election eve here, I predicted we'd get 3 senate seats and 12-15 house seats) Two seats would make it 51-47-2, while three would be a nice 52-46-2

That would mean a lot less power for Lieberman as well.
