[edit] In the Senate

State	Senator	Last Election result	Next Election	Primary challenger	Notes
Arkansas	Blanche Lincoln (D)	56%	2010
Arkansas	Mark Pryor (D)	54%	2008	Bill Halter	Rebekah Kennedy (G) may become a spoiler in a close race.
California	Dianne Feinstein (D)	59.4%	2012
Colorado	Ken Salazar (D)	51.3%	2010
Delaware	Tom Carper (D)	70.2%	2012

Hawaii	Daniel Inouye (D)	76%	2010
Indiana	Evan Bayh (D)	62%	2010
Louisiana	Mary Landrieu (D)	52%	2008	None yet	This seat is vulnerable, as the state has been trending Republican over the last few cycles. She should be asked to explain her vote, but it's also important to point out that the entire Republican party in the Senate voted for this as well, as would Landrieu's replacement should she lose.
