I think he overstates Vitter's vulnerability. Otherwise, it's not bad at all, although Dorgan and Grassley seem a bit arbitrary (maybe there because of retirement watch?).

Agreed on Vitter, and I'd have to imagine that all the "clear advantage" seats rely heavily on speculation and possibility.

If I had to edit further, I'd push Illinois into the Clear Advantage category, along with McCain.  I'd otherwise put an asterisk next to New York's open seat and Delaware—both are almost guaranteed to go Democrat, but there is at least a scenario where either could wind up in competitive territory.

Agreed.  Castle is not outweighing Biden in ANY case.

Except in every poll done on the race yet.

Yeah, could be Joe makes an agreement with Castle to keep Beau out of the race in return for Castle's agreeing to not support GOP filibusters once he's in office (keeping in mind that this would likely be his last election ever...

I don't think there's any need to get Castle to agree to anything.  He's a pretty independent guy, not the type to reflexively support a filibuster he doesn't believe in.

He could fight tooth and nail today and cruise in even easier in four years.

It's a lousy return on the investment of all that work, though.  Running for Senate is unbelievably hard.

Besides, there is a non-zero risk that Biden2 could put in all that work, turn in a sub-par number due to a GOP-friendly year, and then have to fight off Carney in 2014 for the nod.

Colorado as a lean Dem hold?  Not with these numbers.

So completely wrong, but what else is new?
