Vorlon, your assumption that the percentage Bush won in a state in 2004 provides a definitive measure of how Republican that state is seems arbitrary to me. If any election was skewed by very specific factors not reflecting voters normal partisan leanings it was 2004 - due to the whole terrorism sham and the war.
Selecting any presidential election as a template for a Senate analysis is arbitrary and as likely as not to be misleading, but I would guess that 2000 would be a lot more likely to yield anecdotal reasonable results.
What would that look like?
