There are many opportunities for Senate seats this year. The problem is that BA (before Akin) we were favored to take the Senate, since this seat was “likely R”. Now it’s “likely D”. So we probably have about even odds to take the Senate now, instead of being the prohibitive favorites like before.

I suggest checking out RCP’s Senate races page.

Hopefully the only damage Akin has done is to his own campaign and it did not spread to the other races.

Though it would be an improvement, we cannot get rid of ObamaCare without taking the Senate.

If we were prohibitive fqaqavorites to take the Senate as you sy and as I bwlieve we still are, the loss of one victory does not change it to even odds. If that is the case we were never “prohibitive” favorites to begin with.

There are nearly 30 Senate seats up for grabs and we are only hoping to wing 3 or 4?
