1) In how many U.S. Senate races will the Republican Party not feature a candidate?  (1 - VT?)
2) In how many U.S. Senate races will the Democratic Party not feature a candidate?  (1 - UT?)


Forgot two: Tiebreakers
1) In how many U.S. Senate races will the Republican Party not feature a candidate? Three. Oregon, as most Republicans will be gunning for the Governorship. Hawaii, because Lingle will not run and they won't have any chance here, kinda like Arkansas where Huckabee didn't run and the GOP did not field anyone. New York(Schumer), because most GOP'ers will be gunning for the Governorship and Gillibrand's Senate seat.

2) In how many U.S. Senate races will the Democratic Party not feature a candidate? Four. Alabama, because no Democrat could beat Shelby. Idaho, because there is just about no bench here. South Carolina, because whatever bench there is wont be good enough and it will seem best not to waste time here. Utah, see Idaho.
