3. 36-46 are the seats we already hold, and expect to keep.

47 on are seats we'd need to win to take the Senate, to 60. The ones after 52 are not sure wins for us. I don't know where this projection is coming from, despite asking multiple times with no response, so it's hard to tell how reliable it is. It jibes some with things I've read, but I have to take it with a grain of salt until I know its origin; would suggest others do same.
