I recall hearing today that it would be the first time in history that a party re-elects all of its incumbants that are running.

The GOP has many more seats up for re-election in 2008 and they generally say that an election won by less than 60 percent could be a potential battle. I cut this from the votemasters site. He explains it a lot better here that the Democrats will have about 6 seats that they can lose vs. 12. The Votemaster
