Dems in 2008: 12 Pickup Opportunities in Senate?

[Conan]

I don't know what to consider competitive? I'd say conservatively, it must be within 10 points margin of victory.
These are the ones I think will be within 10 points.

1) Virginia
2) New Mexico
3) Colorado
4) New Hamphshire, Shaheen will win by at least 8 but probably more.
5) Alaska
6) Oregon
7) Minnesota
Maine, possibly but I haven't seen any indication that this is getting closer.
9) Mississippi (Wicker-Musgrove race)
10) North Carolina
11) Texas I won't believe these polls until it shows at least 5 more this close spread over 1 months time.
12) Nebraska

Dole didn't even get 55% the when she won the first time against a sucky candidate.

Dole won by the largest margin of any North Carolina Senate candidate since Watergate, Democrat or Republican.

Is this supposed to make up for the fact that her margin was still insignificant?
