4-5% is plenty, especially since most toss-up races are in GOP-friendly districts. But your estimate is very optimistic from a GOP point of view. The real national margin now is tighening but stil around 10%. Anything in that range is a landslide, despite the gerrymandering which unethically keeps unpopular incumbants in power.

Basically, we are talking Missouri, Virginia and Montana in the senate. Those three are the tossups. Unfortunately for Dems they need to win all three of them, but remember the Dems never expected to win the Senate a few months ago. And this will take the senate out of the hands of the GOP right and put it in moderate hands. Moderates will be the deciders from now on. And some moderate Republicans might support removing Cheney-Bush from power.
