The Senate back in Yanquilandia

I promised a little on this recently.

I think the House is a given at this point. The Senate, however, is MUCH tighter. Here's the lowdown, Brown:

33 are the seats up for election.
13 are a Dem lock...no way we can lose.
7 are a Rep lock...no way they can lose.
13 are left in which there is some measure of play.

Of those 13:
there are 7 that "lean" Dem.
there are 3 that "lean" Rep.
and there are 3 that are "toss-ups" that don't seem to lean either way.

Not bad for our side actually...until you realize that we need 11 of those 13 to regain control of the Senate. Without control there can be no war crimes investigations.

Specifics and particulars to come.
