The BIG 8 senate seats

The GOP needs 7 of the following 8 seats to have 51 senate seats

WV (already GOP)
Arkansas (already GOP)
Louisiana
Iowa
South Dakota
Colorado
Montana
Alaska

Montana and SD are pretty much for sure going GOP

We just need 2 of the other 4 states... somehow........

A Nunn upset in Georgia would mean we only need 1 of those 4 states, so hope for that..........

Lousiana going to a runoff is going to the GOP, Colorado is called for GOP.

That basically means unless the dems win Iowa and Alaska both, the GOP takes the senate. OR, 1 of those and we win the Georgia seat..........

Louisiana - going to a runoff, GOP pickup
Iowa - looks like Braley can hold off Ernst, a bit early but i think it's possible
South Dakota - GOP pickup
Colorado - GOP pickup
Montana - GOP pickup
so it's down to Alaska, one of the reddest states in the union
but i heard Begich has been polling well lately

so... go Alaska!
