Tonight looks like a good night to update some of the races.
Let’s look at the first group; Retiring Democrats
| State | Inc Party | R-Candidate | D-Candidate | Leader | Spread |
| CT | D | McMahon | Blumenthol | D | 22 |
| DE | D | Castle | Open | R | 20 |
| IL | D | Kirk | Giannoulias | R | 5 |
| ND | D | Hoevan | Open | R | 24 |
| IN | D | Coats | Ellsworth | R | 12 |
I have moved the Indiana race to retiring Democrats; Mr. Bayh retired. Not much has changed since last time I posted except that McMahon has slipped and Castle has surged.
Based on this and restarting the count we have the Republicans gaining 4 seats.
Score: Democrats 55 Republicans 45
Not bad.

It is going to be an interesting election cycle culminating with the mid term elections in November. Following up on my new found interest in politics that began with the dual primary race for the 08 Presidential election, I am going to watch these Senate races with interest.
An introduction:
Right now there are 36 seats in play. This includes incumbents and Senators who are retiring.
