In 2012, 23 Dems are up for re-election, but only 10 Reps.
In 2014, 20 Dems are up for re-election, but only 13 Reps.
I believe a pick up of 12 is with in the relm of possibility in 2012. (Conrad)ND, McCaskill MO, Nelson NE,(Webb) VA, Manchin WV are all quite probable. A concerted effort should be made in Ohio, Florida, New Mexico and Wisconsin because they are presidential swing states.
It would be most beneficial to drain dem resources if MI, PA, HI, MN and NY were brought into play.
If more money has to be spent hold senate seats, it will drains money from the One also.
Oops forgot Tester MT in the probable pick up.
I believe Mourdock for Lugar and perhaps a change in Maine are our only Trophy RINO’s we should be hunting.
