I guess now we believe Silver’s prognostications...16 months before the elections? Wake me up in 15 months.

If the Republicans plan on winning the senate, they better start counting votes now.

If they’d insist on noisily following the ACA law and yelling how it was passed by 100% Democrat votes, they might get more.

Vote out all incumbents in every primary no matter what the party designation. Choose 3rd party where possible.

There were some similar predictions for 2012.

Never underestimate the GOP’s capacity to pull defeat out of the jaws of victory.

I don’t.

I can’t think of a single reason at all to vote R.

Big deal if Republicans gain the majority as long as they are composed of the gutless liberals that they are now. Now if we had 51 Republicans like Ted Cruz in the Senate, that would be some good news. Unfortunately a lot of RINO’s aren’t even going to get a primary challenge in 2014.

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.

C’mon, Harry. Kill the filibuster. Then we can repeal Obamacare with 51 votes.

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.

And after all ballots are counted twice, three times or as many times as necessary, Democrats will hold 52 seats.

51 with Senate Rule changes put in by RATS works just fine.
