What states switch hands in 2006?

[The Vorlon]

Here is the Senate Class up in 2006

This is early handicapping,

I define "potentially vulnerable" as meaning a stong candidate with enough money has a shot of beating the incumbant... does not mean the challenger will win, or even would be favored, but that it would be a competitive race...
