Sure... open seats are more vulnerable, but it's also true that MANY incumbent senators lack such strong registration/party affiliation advantages.

Libs are historically suckers for not giving up hope. I am afraid that all Obama has to do is throw us a little bone or two and we will (mostly) come back, at least at the ballot box.
But if they continue down the road they are clearly on, more and more of us will simply stay away.
