Democrats Favored to Retain Control of Senate


Larry's funny. He knows the D's are perfectly capable of a complete meltdown. Via Taegan-

Larry Sabato looks at next year's races and concludes Democrats will "almost certainly" retain control on the Senate.

"The Democrats will automatically retain 41 seats and Republicans 21 -- that is, these 62 seats aren't on the 2010 ballot. Given Vice President Biden's tie-breaking vote, Democrats need to win a mere 9 seats in 2010 to retain control, and just to begin with, they have 10 reasonably secure incumbents on the ballot. By contrast, the Republicans would have to win 30 seats to take the Senate, which would require holding all their own seats plus capturing 11 currently Democratic seats."

"Let's get real. That's not going to happen unless there is a complete collapse on the Democratic side."
