Of course, there's absolutely no way to predict what will happen in six years time, but...
Highly endangered:
Mark Begich (D-AK) - He's the only Democrat from a state McCain won by over 20 percent and he barely beat a convicted felon. There's a huge target on his back.
Kay Hagan (D-NC) - North Carolina seems to have little love for its Senators.
Some danger:
Mark Udall (D-CO) - I imagine Mark will probably move more to the center now.
Al Franken (D-MN) - I think one of two things will happen with Al: he'll turn out to be a good Senator and his popularity improves, making him safe in Dem-leaning MN, or he'll turn out to be a bad senator and he'll pull a Dayton, making way for a better senator like, say, Betty McCollum.
Little danger:
Jeff Merkley (D-OR) - Gordon Smith is probably the last gasp for the Republicans in OR for a while.
Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) - Probably will be a backbencher but it's not looking like NH Republicans are going to recover any time soon.
Safer than safe:
Mike Johanns (R-NE)
Jim Risch (R-ID)
Tom Udall (D-NM)
Mark Warner (D-VA)
