Here are the 14 Senate races for seats presently held by Democrats but for which Republicans are either favored to win or serious contenders:
1. West Virginia: Rep. Shelley Moore Capito v. no one. Jay Rockefeller quit after Capito got into the race. She will win, going away.
2. South Dakota: Former Governor Mike Rounds in South Dakota v. no one in South Dakota
This is a mortal lock for the popular Rounds.
3. Arkansas: Rep. Tom Cotton v. the hapless legacy senator Mark Pryor in Ark Pryor won his seat because his dad held it for years. Now the combat veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq Tom Cotton has a lead and is building it day by day, as shrinking Pryor struggles to erase all his positive endorsements of Obamacare. Most recently he was for repealing the cuts to career military COLAs after he was for them.
4. North Carolina: A businessman and former Speaker of the North Carolina House Thom Tillis is already ahead of another Obamacare booster, Denocratic incumbent Kay Hagan.
5. Michigan: Former Lt. Governor Terri Lynne Land is contesting an open seat left so by ancient Carl Levin, who has designated a no name with a propensity to disappear even more from voters’ minds. Land is running on the same ticket with popular GOP governor Rick Snyder, and has established an early lead.
6. Virginia: Ed Gillespie is running against a popular former governor-turned-senator Mark Warner, in a purple state, but Warner is tightly tied to both Obamacare and the new governor Terry McAullife, and Gillespie is a pro’s pro with terrific fundraising ability and genuine and deep roots in the Commonwealth.

At this point I don't know enough about the primaries to answer that question. But what is your take on the competition for the GOP nomination:
Who is currently favored to win?
Who do we want to win?
I’ve always felt the same way. However, now we have Ted Cruz and Mike Lee in the Senate stirring up a hornet’s nest. GO TED AND MIKE; GO!!!
Ping for later read.
Thanks for posting this.
Hewitt is a Rino. I still remember him screaming at callers over the Harriett Miers SC appointment and the Dubai Port attempted lease.
On the other hand, compared to what we’ve endured in these hellish Obama years, we would probably carry Bush back to Washington on our backs.
“We had the Senate during Bush years and I don’t remember it being much different.”
We had the Senate for 5 months in 2001, then Jeffords flipped to give the democrats the senate until 2003. We held the senate from 2003 to 2007 and lost it and the dems held it from 2007 to 2009.
For the 8 bush years, we held the senate for 4 years and 5 months. The dems held it for 3 years and 7 months.
And our majorities were slim.
The Senate does not impeach presidents.
No, I don't think that Hugh is a RINO.
However, I am trying to recall what is his stance on amnesty for illegal aliens? (It's been a while since I've listened.) .
“Frist and Lott left much to be desired. “
Regarding the Bush Republican Senate majority in the 2000s.
Today we have the same equivalent loosers - maybe more.
Lamar(TN), Cochran(Ms), Graham(SC), McPain, the list goes on. It may make more sense to identify the Americans in the Senate instead of the Communist Dictators
Hope so. A small majority is fine IF Republicans would hang together
well I meant to remove him from office if the house impeached him of course.
