Jeff Sessions (AL) - will seek and win another term, so no change
Ted Stevens (AK) - he may retire, giving Tony Knowles an opening to replace him.
Mark Pryor (AR) - no change
Wayne Allard (CO) - may retire, and given Colorado is increasingly Democratic-leaning, I give the edge to Mark Udall to take this seat.
Joe Biden (DE) - no change
Saxby Chambliss (GA) - possible rematch with Max Cleland? In which case, this seat is up for grabs, though I give the edge to Chambliss for now given the Republican-lean of the state.
Larry Craig (ID) - no change
Dick Durbin (IL) - no change
Tom Harkin (IA) - no change
Pat Roberts (KS) - no change
Mitch McConnell (KY) - no change
Mary Landrieu (LA) - with Hurricane Katrina having decimated if not eliminated the political machine in New Orleans, she will be even more vulnerable than usual as a Democrat in a southern state. If Bobby Jindal runs against her, I am calling this as a Republican pick-up.
Susan Collins (ME) - if she retires, the seat becomes a Democratic pick-up; if not, no change.
John Kerry (MA) -no change, and is not going anywhere if he's smart.
Carl Levin (MI) - may retire, giving Candice Miller an opening. In which case, I call this as a possible Republican pick-up.
Norm Coleman (MN) - If Collin Peterson challenges him, I call this as a Democratic pick-up.
Thad Cochran (MS) - no change
Max Baucus (MT) - no change
Chuck Hagel (NE) - no change
John Sununu (NH) - no change
Frank Lautenberg (NJ) - Will retire, and therefore this becomes a Republican pick-up.
Pete Domenici (NM) - if he retires, this would likely remain Republican if Heather Wilson runs.
Elizabeth Dole (NC) - no change
Jim Inhofe (OK) - no change
Gordon Smith (OR) - possible Democratic pick-up if former Gov. John Kitzhaber runs.
Jack Reed (RI) - no change
Lindsay Graham (SC) - no change
Tim Johnson (SD) - Will likely face Gov. Mike Rounds, in which case this becomes a Republian pick-up.
Lamar Alexander (TN) - no change
John Cornyn (TX) - no change
John Warner (VA) - if he retires, this seat will remain Republican especially if Tom Davis runs to replace him.
Jay Rockefeller (WV) - no change
Mike Enzi (WY) - no change
