Meme Of The Day: The Senate's In Play

As we observed this morning in Wake-Up Call and in the Starting Lineup, the meta-story from ex-Sen. Dan Coats' (R-IN) new bid against Sen. Evan Bayh (D): The GOP now has ten Dem-held seats in play -- enough to win back the upper chamber if they can run the table.

It remains highly unlikely that the GOP would be able to win DE, IL, NV, ND, CO, AR, PA, CT, CA and IN, but it's a possibility the party hasn't had this year.

That the GOP could actually retake the upper chamber became a popular theme today, with Politico, First Read, the AP and The Fix all offering their takes.

Remember, in modern history, the House has never changed hands without the Senate flipping too. So the folks over at the NRCC have to be pretty happy with their newly optimistic Senate counterparts.
