Let's talk about the Senate [View all]

There are 3 probable D pickups in the Senate:

IL
WI
IN

Of these 3, IN is the most likely to stay red, then WI, and then IL.

Then there are 3 toss up states, in no particular order.

PA
NH
NV

Since NV is blue, and assuming Kaine wins VP and a Democrat is appointed to replace him, the Democrats must win 2 of these 3 seats to take back the Senate, assuming no other flips.

After this, in no particular order these seats are competitive but lean GOP currently

FL
NC
MO
OH
AZ

Thoughts?
