* No recent polling for LA (our only endangered seat). Nothing for ID or OK, either.
The only race that really looks out of reach here is Nebraska. Otherwise, they're all up for grabs and we're already leading in SIX races (AK, CO, KY, NH, NM, VA). Now, I'll need to see another poll to buy that Lunsford has leaped ahead of the McConnell machine, but I'd really be surprised if we lost any of the other five races. That would give us 55 seats plus 10 decent chances to get some more (ID, KS, LA, ME, MN, MS, NC, OK, OR, TX). 60 seats is a real possibility.
