ESPN's FiveThirtyEight editor-in-chief Nate Silver examines the state of the 2014 Senate races. Silver predicts the Republican party has a 60% chance to take the Senate in 2014. Silver also says there is a 30% chance that the GOP can "win big."
Silver says the Republican party has a 45% shot to take a Senate seat in Michigan, a 35% chance in Colorado and 30% for a seat in Iowa.

Only problem is there are entirely too many GOP-e’s in the Senate. The 17th amendment truly screwed this country.
I dunno...... But, I wish to hell they would come up with something new.
And he is still voting Democrat
I think that Nate Silver has a good head on his shoulders.
However ...
I don't think that Silver has his sights for the Senate aimed high enough because he may not be aware of the following. If patriots and former Obama supporters can win 2/3 Democratic and Republican conservative majorities in each House of Congress in the midterm elections, then Congress will be positioned as follows.
Congress will have the power, under the Constitution's Clause 2 of Section 7 of Article I, to override presidential vetoes. This means that Congress would be able to repeal constitutionally indefensible Obamacare Democratcare, for example, without Obama's signature.
We can all dream that McConnell will grow a pair of seeds and rule with an iron fist like Dirty Harry.
I really did LOL at that. That was a good one.
There’s the woman in Ohio who was let go even after she confessed to voting 8 times for Obama..EIGHT..and the left adores her..of course there is going to be fraud in November, there always is, that is why Dems are so against Voter ID
We don’t want impeachment! That would put Biden in as President and give him an advantage in the 2016 election.
We can all dream that McConnell will grow a pair of seeds and rule with an iron fist like Dirty Harry.

Or, we can give and work our assess off so Mitch won’t be in the Senate in January 2015 to be elected the SML.
As you note, the direct evidence is scarce... but with good reason. The Left, the MSM, the Dem machine, etc all have a heavily vested-interest in keeping it a secret. Literally trillions of dollars are on the line.
However, the anecdotal evidence is pretty massive on its own:
EVERY effort to clean up voter rolls: opposed by Dems
EVERY effort to ensure that only US citizens vote: opposed by Dems
EVERY time the number of votes in a district exceeds the actual number of registered voters (ie, a 100+% turnout): it is ALWAYS in a 90+% Dem district (and these are usually areas where you can't get a 10% turnout for free smoke-detectors).
EVERY time an election is close, the heavily Dem districts get reported last, and are almost always sufficient to turn the result into a Dem win, even if 90% of the other districts and counties vote GOP.
"It ain't rocket surgery"
After the last election, I think he crawled into a hole to hide.
In Nov. 2010, Silver predicted the GOP would take 54 seats (the GOP took 63), so if he’s predicting this early on, it may be even worse for the Rats.
Don’t get complacent! The Obama machine will do everything in its power to GOTV.
Even if the GOP gets the senate they will not do a thing with it. The dems will continue to set the agenda.
It’s all good and well for the GOP to take over the Senate.
But, more importantly, will there be any difference after they take over or will it be business as usual?
“Meet the new boss, Same as the old boss.”
About a 90% chance the GOP screws it all up.
I know you’re not kidding. but Biden? As president? Didn’t he try for the primaries in 04 or 08? Besides, all (Biden’s) stupidity aside, he is up to his neck in all this stuff. He goes, too.
Maybe Boehner *wouldn’t* be so bad, temporarily. He’s a disaster as Speaker.
The guy got every state correct in 2012. Of course, before the vote everyone here thought he was an idiot. Clearly he knows what he’s doing.
Then how did the Dems suffer a crushing defeat in the midterms in 2010?
I wish we could go one day here on Free Republic without someone posting that tired, old, worn out sh*t.
Sorry about your luck, but the truth is never tired, old, or worn out.
