OK, not quite yet, but 2008 is shaping up to be rough:

Former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen will be a candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2008, the New Hampshire Union Leader has learned. ... sources say Shaheen has decided to seek the seat held by Republican John E. Sununu, who defeated her in a bitter 2002 contest.

...

In a trial heat, 54 percent of 524 Granite Staters interviewed favored her and 38 percent favored Sununu. The poll found Sununu defeating Swett, 43 to 39 percent; Marchand, 42 to 38 percent; and Buckey, 44 to 28 percent.

New Hampshire, Virginia, Colorado, New Mexico — I'm sure I'm missing some — all will be more than difficult for the GOP to hold.
