Here is my personal rundown, a word document almost copy and pasted for how I see the senate races.
Notes:
– All the numbers, names, and codes can be rather mind-numbing. If you see any spelling or numerical errors, please tell me.
-If you think one race should be rated more competitive than another, or less competitive than another, feel free to make your case. I think I have a good setup, but it isn’t perfect.
-This is a more liberal prediction, how the races will be on election day. (For example, NY25, Dan Maffei will raise and spend about two million dollars, while his opponent, who isn’t an incumbent, will raise and spend around $500,000 & The DCCC will spend money here if they think it is necessary to pickup this seat.)
– *** = Retired Incumbent
– I round fundraising down to the nearest thousand.
Republican Held Seats:
1-7 = Likely Democratic Pickup
8-14 = Lean Democratic Pickup
15-24 = Toss up
25-37 = Lean Republican Retention
38-49 = Likely Republican Retention
50-68 = Race to Watch
Democratic Held Seats:
1-3 = Toss Up
4-14 = Lean Democratic Retention
15-27 = Likely Democratic Retention

Prediction: 25-35 Democratic pickups in the US House
Your rankings/ratings are similar to mine and make sense. Right now I’m predicting a 20-30 seat gain, only slightly lower than your pick. But you never know, this early in the 2006 cycle it looked like we were not going to gain anywhere near as many seats as we did.
In the defensive front I really think our losses will be slim. I’d put TX-22 as the only Leans R Dem-held seat at the moment. I think you are placing LA-06 far too low. I’d have to put that seat as our second most vulnerable. The repubs will have a much better candidate, the Presidential election on the ballot, and a 3rd party black candidate should siphon many votes from Cazayoux.
At this point I’d put the likely range of Dem-held seats lost at only 1-3 seats. Even seats like FL-16 and KS-02 which were expected to bounce back to the repubs this year are looking better and better for us.
Everyone is underrating Nancy Boyda’s chances, just as they did in ’06. If Jim Ryun becomes the nominee, as is likely, she will win easily. The voters in that district are simply not going decide they made a mistake last time and send that whacko airhead Ryun back to Washington.
