VA, NH and CO are lean Dem.
ME, NE, OR, and MN are toss-ups. Let's say the Dems win half of them.
KY, NC, NM, OK and ID are Dem long-shots. Let's say they get lucky and take one.
I'll assume that LA and SD stay Dem, though LA will be close.
This puts the Dems in the 54 - 56 range (including Lieberman and Sanders). Keep in mind though, that there will be virtually no Republican moderates left.
The '08 Presidential race could have an effect on some of those toss-ups and long-shots. I disagree that Hillary will hurt Dem candidates. I think she actually might help them. People underestimate the ability of her political machine to win people over and drive turn-out...
It's way too early to be thinking about 2010. There could be some interesting prospects though...Sestak in PA?
