This year's Senate race picture continues to be very gloomy for Republicans. With highly vulnerable seats in Maine, New Hampshire, Virginia, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Oregon, and Colorado, it will take a great deal of money and excellent campaigning, not to mention a healthy dose of luck, for the GOP to break even.
That said, it seems that there is a light around the corner in 2010. A new poll in Nevada strongly suggests that the Democratic Party should continue to select their Senate Majority Leaders from Red States, as it virtually guarantees a Republican pick-up. Harry Reid's favorable/unfavorable rating is now 32%/51%.

This assumes the GOP will actually run a decent candidate against him. He was vulnerable in 2004 (after his razor thin win in 1998), yet they managed to give him a pass.

Of course, there are similar polls showing McCain losing to Napolitano in a hypothetical matchup, so 2010 may not look so good either.
Although I predict he'll either recover or retire. He won't suffer the humiliation of a loss.
