Among those Republican incumbents facing tough reelection bids are Senators Norm Coleman of Minnesota, Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina, John Sununu of New Hampshire, Gordon Smith of Oregon, Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, and even Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

Republican Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska, who is on trial on corruption charges, may lose his bid for another term if he is found guilty in a trial now underway in Washington.

The only incumbent Democrat facing a difficult race for another term is Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana.

I think would be a sobering night for Republicans to lose the Senate that badly.
