"Favored" -- the race is currently not competitive, but may become competitive if new political factors intervene.
"Leans" -- the race is competitive, but one candidate has a clear advantage.
"Tossup" -- neither candidate has a clear advantage.
The ratings below are current as of October 4 2006.
Blue=Seats held by Democrats or Independents that caucus with Democrats prior to 2006 election
Red=Seats held by Republicans prior to 2006 election

"Safe" races are those were one candidate is given more than 95% chance to win, "favored" are those where a candidate is given more than a 2/3 chance to win, "leans" are those where one candidate is favored by more than 55%, and "tossup" are ones where neither candidate is more than 55% chance to win.
