There were 23 Dems and 10 Reps up in ‘12 and we lost seats. Why would ‘14 be different?
they already have a SCOTUS majority with Roberts.
Actually, the Democrats do face a tougher map in ‘14, they have to defend six incumbents in red states and six incumbents in swing states.
That said, even with a narrow lead in the Senate post ‘14 it would be difficult to turn down “moderate” SC appointments.

The good news is that the Democrats don’t vote in off-Presidential years or special elections. Thank God! The reason we won in 2010 is because Democrats didn’t show up. The reason we won Brown’s seat to begin with is that Democrats didn’t show up and the reason we saved Walker is because Democrats did show up and voted to keep Walker because even they thought that was a crap move.
