2010 elections: Democratic fears, GOP hopes!
Nervous Dems are on the defense as Republicans see opportunity in 2010.

WASHINGTON – Nervous Democrats are on defense and emboldened Republicans sense opportunity heading into 2010 and the midterm elections
. It was just three years ago that the GOP lost the House and Senate as well as governors’ races in a cross-country Democratic wave.
Now, with most states under their control and comfortable majorities in Congress, Democrats must protect far more seats than Republicans: 19 governors’ mansions, 17 Senate seats and as many as 60 House districts in moderate-to-conservative regions and swing-voting areas.
At this point, Democrats must do it in a more difficult political environment than in 2006 and 2008.
