How many seats Dems have to defend as opposed to how many repukes have to defend?

Only Harry Reid's seat looks competitive.
Democrats need to try to remove Richard Burr, John McCain, and Marco Rubio.

(2,097 posts)34 seats in play, 24 held by the GOP. Six are 2010 wave seats in Blue or swing states: FL, IL, NH, OH, PA, WI. We could also catch a break if Grassley retires in IA. We're most vulnerable in NV and CO, where we have to defend Reid and Bennett, both of whom won in squeakers last time.

(2,529 posts)Who compared with the rank and file teabaggers today, barely registers yellow on the batshit crazy meter. She only said that you should make lemonade out of lemons where pregnancy from rape was concerned. She didn't say the rape was a blessing or a gift from god or that some girls are so easy to rape.
