Senate lineup for 2010

Coming out of the 2008 election, the lineup of Senate seats up in 2010 seemed very favorable to the Democrats. With the announcements of the retirements (or likely retirements) of Senators Judd Gregg (NH), Christopher Bond (MO) and George Voinovich (OH) it looked even more favorable. All three of those states went for George W. Bush in 2000, but in 2008 Barack Obama won two of them and came within an eyelash of winning the third (MO).

But now as the political coffeepot percolates, the lineup is suddenly looking less unfavorable to Republicans. Yes, they’ve still got seven seats at high risk.
