Current projections generally give the Democrats a 48 to 45 lead in the Senate with seven seats up for grabs: California, Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Washington. Six of these seats are presently held by Democrats. Republicans must win six of these seven contests to give them a one vote majority.
While this scenario is not considered "likely," it certainly is considered possible. No doubt, Democrat election strategies will focus on California and Nevada. Boxer in California is in a close race but seems to be running two or three points ahead, at this writing. Reid, in Nevada, is dead even with Sharron Angle. If the Dems keep these two seats, they probably remain in control of the Senate.
Midknight Review has no intentions of presenting daily updates as to these matters. Perhaps once a week will do the trick. The last two weeks of the campaign cycle will see daily updates.
As things stand today, both parties see hope for their campaign agenda's. Time will tell.
