Has anyone announced an open seat? ETA: Sarbanes (D-MD), Dayton (D-MN), Corzine (D-NJ), Frist (R-TN), and Jeffords (I-VT) aren't running according to the DSCC

You could probably spend the rest of the evening

Historically, I believe incumbent Presidents lose seats in mid term elections, particularly in their second term. I cannot believe there is any reason for that historical trend to differ this time, unless Bush can come up with some substantial accomplishments for himself and the Senate in the next six months, before they all leave to campaign.
