Democratic Strategist

Congressional Quarterly has a round-up of ratings for 08 Senate races -- their earliest ever. Of the 33 U.S. Senate seats up in the '08 cycle, 21 are held by Republicans, compared to 12 seats for Dems. The article rates each seat as "safe" Republican/Democrat" (8/6), Democrat/Republican "favored," (4/7) "leans" Democrat/Republican (1/5) and "no clear favorite" (1 each). In other words, the early money says the Senate will remain very close, with a possible net-pick up of 1 for the Dems. Some of those submitting comments to the article disagree, but not by much. The delicate balance that gives Dems their majority remains a continuing concern.
