Open Seats
Colorado: vs. Mark Udall (D-CO)
* denotes that they are vulnerable.
Lautenberg is up there in age and I believe that will be an open seat. Possible open seats include Massachusetts and Deleware, although Deleware has a late primary so Biden could still run if he loses the presidential primaries.
If Dole is as vulnerable as they say, I wonder if John Edwards makes another try at the Senate seat.
Maine Congressman Tom Allen is seriously considering the race against Sen. Collins. I will update this post as candidates express interest or announce their intentions.
Wayne Allard (R-CO) is stepping down.
