just about everybody who is looking closely at this says:

* We should keep Minnesota and New Hampshire.
* We have a puncher's chance of holding Georgia, and Michigan and picking up Maine and N Carolina.

That would get us to 49, which is 2 short of control, considering Vance breaks ties. Where are the other 6 coming from?

* I'd like to think Brown has a chance in Ohio, but Ohio has been lost for a long time.
* Can we beat Cornyn? That would be a big upset, but not impossible
* Can Petola win in Alaska? Maybe

I have no idea where the other 3 could come from. It would be great to knock out Graham, but is that even a possibility?

Just getting to 51 would be huge. But we can't go forward with Schumer as Majority Leader.
