2010 was the same class as 2004, when the Republicans did well in the Senate.
2012 will be an interesting election for the Democrats, as they have 21 up, and the republicans have 12

How many will they retain? How many will they gain?
They might get MA back, and they might get CT for sure.
It looks like most of the D seasts are actually safe, but a couple of the R seats are not.
It would be nice to have a good size blowout there too, though
