Nov 2012

Virginia....It's Warner....it's a lock.

West Virginia....if Rockerfeller runs for reelection, it's also a lock.

Montana....Baucus, as much as I dislike him and think he's useless, probably makes that lock.

Arkansas....Prior is also useless, but the name carries weight in that state.

South Dakota....Johnson had a stroke, but won reelection since I believe. We'll see if he runs again, but if he does I think he wins.

Alaska....Begich is popular from what I understand. But you never know.

Louisiana....Landreu....another useless DINO....she'll probably let James Keefe break into her office again and get away with it. She could lose.

North Carolina....Don't know much about Hagan and whether she's popular, so yeah it's a toss-up.
