Has anyone been looking at the Senate races yet? Until Hutchison announces which race she's going to run (and the last report I heard was that she has $7million stashed away already for a run on the Governor's mansion), no Republican is going to step up. There's a lawyer at V&E named Barbara Radnofsky who will probably run in the Democratic primary, and I have heard rumblings that Ken Bensten is interested in running again. Obviously, an open seat will be more competitive than against KBH, but it will probably boil down to voter turnout.
I can't imagine that Rick Santorum will have an easy run next time around in PA. Hyde will be gone, and I don't know anything about West Virginia politics, but I imagine the seat will be hard for the Ds to keep.
I find it interesting that both majority leaders will be up for reelection next year. ETA, I read that wrong, only Bill Frist will be up for reelection.
