Shows a little different picture. It shows one Senate race has moved from likely Dem to leans Dem and five races have moved from leans Dem to tossup. There "no tossup" map shows a pickup of 1 seat for the GOP and the Dem's with a 53-47 edge, down from a 54-46 edge.

The State with the biggest movement toward Romney is Florida where Romney's Medicare message must have made a big dent with seniors -- the gutting $716 billion from Medicare is selling to seniors and it doesn't help that the fact checkers say Romney is half right even though not one dime is being cut from Medicare. But the fact checkers don't seem to understand or care that the sole reason Medicare compensation can be reduced is because providers don't have as much uninsured care to offset -- care that is partially paid for by Medicare.
