We're still waiting for the total results, but here's the source of this spread.

There were no Republican pick-ups. Democratic pick-ups in the following races:

1) Colorado: On Election Day, (Mark) Udall defeated Schaffer 52%-43%

3) New Mexico: (Tom) Udall defeated Pearce 61%-39%
4) North Carolina: Hagan defeated Dole, 53%-44%
5) Oregon: Merkley defeated Smith in very close race, Smith formally conceded.
