The Republicans will take 2-4 seats, depending on whether Obama gets re-elected. Given the huge amount of seats that the Democrats need to defend (23, compared to just 10 for the Republicans), the Democrats are almost certainly going to suffer a net loss even if Obama gets re-elected.

And how well did similar math work out for Democrats in 2010?

What? I don't know if you're being a hack, but the Democrats had more seats to defend, just like in 2012. (In 2010, the Democrats as 19 seats, and the Republicans only 18.)

My bad/hackery. I added the seats up to defend early in 2009 and incorrectly remembered them as being inordinately GOP.
