In order to flip the six seats they need to win back control, Republicans now believe they have widened the map to nearly a dozen competitive contests — a marked jump from earlier this year.
But while Republicans are feeling increasingly optimistic, they are stopping short of bold public predictions, remembering the dashed expectations of recent election cycles in which Tea Party candidates torpedoed their chances.
...McConnell faces a challenger backed by the Senate Conservatives Fund and the Madison Project.

I guess you both like Harry Reid as Senate Majority Leader — you are right, much better than having a Republican majority in the Senate with Mitch McConnell as Majority Leader, yes, absolutely.
I, I, I am better off without McConnell in the senate, thwarting my guys efforts at every turn, supporting my guys challengers every election, openly slandering Tea Party affiliated organizations every chance he gets.
Yes, even if McConnell falls to a Democrat, the message is sent to the surviving Establishment that we’re coming after them.
Primaries will be done away with next. We must fight while we can while they last.
Huck who?
If the House Leadership brings an immigration vote to the floor, it’s the end of the party, doesn’t matter what the map says.
I hope that conservative candidates run who are worthy of conservative votes.
Wanting McConnell replaced by a conservative is not bad for anyone
Now you’re catching on. Endless compromise has killed our Republic. We are out of time. You better hope this works and inform your RINO supporting pals. Rebellion can look a hell of a lot worse than this if it doesn’t.
Mike Huckabee wants to outlaw the word ‘RINO’ in the name of GOP unity
““What’s the Republican Party’s biggest obstacle in this year’s elections? Republicans! With Benghazi, Obamacare, NSA spying, al Qaeda and the still-staggering economy, 2014 should be a record year for the GOP. But they risk disaster if they let the primaries be hijacked by ad campaigns by groups that don’t target Democrats, but fellow Republicans who aren’t ‘pure’ enough,” Mr. Huckabee declared on his Facebook page, and in several other spots.”
I like Senate Majority Ted Cruz or Mike Lee better.
Aye, Aye,.....
The Huckster needs to call the waaaahhhmbulance
Our persistent trouble is that KY people think McC is “conservative”.
So? What is Mike Huckabee to us?
What’s Huckabee and why is what he thinks important?
He needs to go, as an encouragement for the others.
“I like Senate Majority Ted Cruz or Mike Lee better.”
Yes, and I’d like to win the lottery — I probably have a better chance for than what you are dreaming about. And in the meantime you are enabling the Dems to destroy the country.
The GOPe has lost the base over the last 10 years. And rightfully so.
Many here used to consider Huckabee conservative and voted for him in the primary, so now all of a sudden, when he is making sense, he is nobody?
Will they promise to pursue impeachment and criminal prosecution?
I don’t divide them by R or D anymore. Party labels are meaningless to this independent conservative. They act like two wings of the same party, I refuse to play that fantasy game.
I divide them by Conservative and Not Conservative.
McConnell hates conservatives with a passion he would never hate his Democrats colleagues.
Yes, I want McConnell to lose like I want the vast majority in Congress to be replaced.
