10. Heidi won an open seat in North Dakota

It was really quite an upset and her opponent was a teabag Republican. Her having won might mean the difference between Democrats being able to hold onto the Senate in 2014 or losing the majority. I think it makes more sense to work on changing her mind for future votes than to work on getting her defeated. It would definitely be a Republican pickup if Heidi goes down, and it wouldn't be a Scott Brown or Sue Collins type Republican who would replace her.
