The Wikipedia article "United States Senate Elections 2008" (here) repeats the predictions of several pundits. Writers have added pundits whose predictions they repeat, but five have been reported since January.
For those not familiar with Wikipedia, it is an encyclopedia that anybody who knows anything can edit. I call it "The sum of all human knowledge": with almost 2.5 million articles in English, it's definitely moving in that direction. (There are Wikipedias in other languages too.)
In addition to having lots of topics, Wikipedia contains previous copies of all their articles as well. The link above is the current copy of the article, but you can also look at an older copy of the article, for example this one from January 1, 2008.
Looking at the older copy, we notice a few changes, which I've summarized in this table:
Election | Pundit | Movement |
Alaska | Cook Political Report | Likely Republican to Leans Democrat |
CQ Politics | Likely Republican to Leans Democrat |
Larry Sabato | Leans Republican to Leans Democrat |
Rothernburg Political Report | Likely Republican to Tossup |
Kentucky | Cook Political Report | Safe Republican to Likely Republican |
Minnesota | Cook Political Report | Leans Republican to Tossup |
Mississippi
special | Cook Political Report | Likely Republican to Tossup |
CQ Politics | Likely Republican to Tossup |
Larry Sabato | Leans Republican to Tossup |
North Carolina | Larry Sabato | Safe Republican to Leans Republican |
Oregon | Cook Political Report | Likely Republican to Tossup |
(Wikipedia standardizes pundits' race rankings to facilitate comparison.)
Other diarists have provided excellent analyses as to "what happened" in each case, but I just wanted to highlight the movement as Republicans continue to tailspin.
Another point I want to raise: the category of "Safe Democrat" is assigned by two pundits to currently-Republican-held seats.
November 4, 2008 could well be a good day for Democrats in the Senate.
