Senate picture: Two Jewish Senators will be leaving the Senate in 2012, but some Jewish candidates may compensate for this loss if they win close races in Hawaii and Ohio. Rosner’s Projection: -1. Meaning 12 Jewish Senators instead of 13 Jewish Senators serving today.

Senate Incumbents: Running in 2012: Bottom Line: -2
