60?

Another update from Minnesota Public Radio, with 75.7% of precincts reporting:

Norm Coleman - 42.2%
Al Franken - 41.5%
Dean Barkley - 15.4%

With the Senate currently standing at 56-40 in favor of the Democrats, MSNBC rates the other races outstanding:

Georgia (95% reporting)
- Chambliss (R)* - 52%
- Martin (D) - 44%

Oregon (40% reporting)
- Merkley (D) - 48%
- Smith (R)* - 47%

Alaska (0% reporting)
- Begich (D)
- Stevens (R)*

*incumbent

At first glance, it seems that Gordon Smith is holding closer to his challenger Jeff Merkley than originally anticipated. FiveThirtyEight rated this race as "Likely Democratic" in their final analysis.
