Could Republicans pick up vast numbers of state-senate seats this year?

Conor Yunits crunches the numbers from Scott Brown's victory and thinks that based on them:
[T]here could be as many as 25 Senate seats in play this year (assuming the Republican party can mount a successful candidate recruitment drive).
That's pretty impressive given that a) there are only 40 Senate seats in the whole state and b) there are only five Republican state senators right now (and one of them's about to leave for Washington).

Is it possible? Sure. Probable? Most likely not.
This is going on data on Coakley, but using the assumption that people voter her out as a protest against Dem’s, and that’s patently false.
In reality, people voted against her because she was Martha, kissing babies and shaking hands is below me, Coakley.
