In 2008, there are 21 Republican senators up for reelection and only 12 Democrats up for reelection.
The voters will decide if they approved of blocking legislation like the energy bill, a new strategy for Iraq, changes to the Freedom of Information Act, campaign reform, a bill to allow small businesses to join together to form health pools, a bill to allow the government to negotiate (lower) prescription drug prices for medicare, immigration reform, etc.
Although its too early for predictions that have any credibility, Republicans senate seats are considered potentially vulnerable in Oregon, New Mexico, Colorado, Maine, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and Virginia (if Warner retires).
Democratic senate seats are considered potentially vulnerable in Louisiana and South Dakota.
I'll take those odds.
