There aren’t enough competitive races with viable candidates to get to 60 seats. 52 is more realistic.
Sadly true, but if we max our possible gains this time we’ll have a shot at 60 in 2014, maybe even a shot at a truely conservative 60.
I have been following RCP and think the number 52 is “spot on’. Maybe Romney can pull some of them over the line as they are in mostly swing states. I also hope the strong ones pull Romney with them. It works both ways.
I doubt anyone can survive if Obama wins but that is less and less likely. He and his team are falling apart. I don’t see Obama helping his own canidates. He is only for himself. They choose Warren to give the keynote at the convention. Looks like that will make it a solid 52 with Brown.
