So here's the ballgame: in order to take the Senate, the GOP needs to flip 6 seats. They have 3 in the bag: Montana, West Virginia, and South Dakota. They need to get 3 more from these 5:
1. Iowa where Tom Harkin is retiring. Bruce Braley, the Dem, was well ahead until he called Chuck Grassley, the GOP senator, a "farmer who never want to college." Since Iowa is made up of a lot of farmers, some of whom never went to college, that didn't set well. Now the race is neck and neck.
2. Louisana. SaintsInDome can fill us in on this one. Landrieu is popular, especially in New Orleans, but it's a red state.
3. Arkansas. Mark Pryor is the incumbent, but another red state.
4. North Carolina. Kay Hagan is the incumbent.
6. Alaska. Yet another red state, and Mark Begich has long been targeted.
All of these races are very tight.
