OMFG! I had no idea we were down by that many seats. Let me see, down by 16. So we have only 34 Democratic Senators? Wow. I had no idea.

Oh, and for what it's worth, that open seat in NM will no doubt be easily won by Lujan, even though he's not a very good candidate, but I'm not sure the Republicans are even bothering to put up a candidate against him. Can't say anything sensible about any other state.
