The playing field for the 2010 Senate elections is relatively even, with the Republicans defending 19 seats that will be on state ballots and the Democrats defending 17 (including two in New York, which has a special and a general election). CQ Politics rates two seats now held by Democrats and seven held by Republicans as tossups, or "No Clear Favorite."

Cornyn Says Democrats Likely to Get 60 Seats

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), the man in charge of electing more Republicans to the Senate, "said it will be difficult to stop the Democrats from winning a 60-seat majority in 2010," according to The Hill.

Said Cornyn: "That's going to be real hard, to be honest with you. Everybody who runs could be the potential tipping point to get Democrats to 60. We've not only got to play defense; we've got to claw our way back in 2010. It'll be a huge challenge."

"So far this cycle, Republicans have been faced with retirements in four swing states, emerging primaries against at least three of their members and a map that, after two cycles of big GOP losses, continues to favor Democrats."
