North Dakota and Nebraska seem to be the only two losses right now.

The teakooks have played a signifigant role in shifting the advantage back to the Democrats in swing states.
The Democrats have improved their positions in Michigan, Ohio, and Missouri.
In addition to pick ups in MA/NV, Arizona is going to have a competetive race. Lugar is in trouble in Indiana and the Democrats have fielded a former Governor to run.
