forgot about Wisconsin and Illinois, even though I just looked at Sabato's map. Pennsylvania and Ohio are fairly shaky too.

However, I would say they become LESS vulnerable than they were with a fired up Republican base, and Scalia's death seems likely to fire up Republicans. Probably won't matter in a Presidential year though. With the Senate being 54-46 they still can have New Hampshire, Illinois and Wisconsin Senators vote FOR cloture while cloture fails.

Trump might still pick Kasich as his Veep to assuage people who think he is nuts.
