Jim Webb Will Not Seek Reelection to Senate in 2012
Not necessarily a Republican pick-up with Virginia annoyingly purplish lately, but this boosts our odds.
Downside: Jim Webb will not feel any pressure to vote moderately. On the other hand, supposedly he's a moderate anyway. Political pressure may have tended to push him to the left (as on the ObamaCare vote) so maybe his being free to vote his leanings might be a good thing too.
