Following former Gov. Brian Schweitzer's decision not to run for Montanas open U.S. Senate seat this weekend, New York Times polling guru Nate Silver predicted Monday that Republicans will hold 50 to 51 seats in the upper chamber after all ballots are counted in the 2014 Congressional mid-term elections.

I agree. Who cares? The GOP is proving to be even more deceptive than the Dems in some ways. Rubio, Ryan, and Boehnor don’t even have the guts to shoot straight. At least the Dems are direct in their destructive plans.
...said just about everyone in 2012
“How did this guy do last election predicting the results?”
Nate Silver did a great job predicting the results. At least he doesn’t use liberal New Math despite working for the Old Gray Whore :-).
There was a Freeper (forget his name) that did a similar analysis and arrived at almost the same results as Silver (I think they were only a bit off in NC).
Not Nate Silver.
50 or 51 seats? Big deal.
In order to have any kind of assurance that the GOP would prevail on any given piece of legislation, it would require 65 or more seats.
Remember how they were bamboozled into “sharing” power when they were in the ‘majority’ by one seat?
And consider the number of RINOs already in the Senate, ready to play kissy-face with the DEMs on the other side of the aisle.
The GOP senators are too stupid, and lack the resolve to be able to handle being the majority party.
He was fed internal polling data from the obama campaign.
C’mon, Harry. Kill the filibuster. Then we can repeal Obamacare with 51 votes.
and it was accurate
And after all ballots are counted twice, three times or as many times as necessary, Democrats will hold 52 seats.
Need 60 without RINOs
What difference does it make?
51 with Senate Rule changes put in by RATS works just fine.
