While it is quite likely it is also possible that the Republicans could gain Governorships in Michigan and Oregon and at a longer stretch, Wisconsin. These are their best chances for any pickups.
In the Senate, their only realistic prospect is New Jersey while Maryland and Washington are outsiders.
I don't think the House is very likely at all; Melissa Bean has led in all the polls I've seen in IL-8 show Bean leading and I think the seats in Georgia are relatively safe, at least in this cycle. I think their best prospect is in VT-AL of all places; Martha Rainville is a strong candidate and seems to have a good grassroots effort and Vermont is enough of a contrarian state to send a socialist to the Senate and elect a Republican in their worst year for a long time.
