Is everyone at the Compost having fun on:
If the GOP continues to go RINO they will deserve to lose the Senate in 2016
Depends on much more Crazier Obama gets
I think Grassley and McCain will probably retire.
The only solid GOP pickups I see are in IN and MO. Both of the Democratic incumbents are vulnerable.
Whether the GOP Senate is still popular in 2016 remains to be seen.
.
Whenever the GOP holds anything, it’s only a temporary blip.
Here is the speculation, but a lot can happen in the meantime.
In Illinois, it’s looking like Tammy Duckworth will run against Mark Kirk in a strongly Democratic state.
In Nevada, we need for Brian Sandoval to run for the Senate. Offer him anything he wants.
Oh for the love of Christ! They haven’t even been in session yet.
If McLame were to retire, I’d consider that a Yuge win for our side.
Oh geeze.
No, of course not.
They cannot even hold onto a majority a week afte the most historic bote-out since 1928.
They don’t want it.
That’s why a thrid party is stupid. Just move in and take over this rotting corpse.
This is the Washington Post, their prognostications are suspect. They did not think the Republicans would win it this time until the votes were counted.
Can the Democratic Party even make it to 2016? There’s reason to doubt.
All the Republicans have to do is stand up against Obama every time he opens his mouth and they will get re-elected in even bigger margins than they did this last time around.
With Mitch the spineless one in charge?
NO confidence.

Jeeze, our Senators don’t even get a chance to warm up their chairs and they’re being called LAME DUCKS.
The HUGE PROBLEM for the Democrats is that the Republicans may just figure out that if they can win 70% to 80% of the white vote, then NOTHING ELSE MATTERS, as there still are not enough minorities to stop them.
That is EXACTLY what happened in Texas and all of the South. Republicans are now getting 75-80 of the white vote. Yes, there are a lot of blacks (Louisiana and Alabama) and a lot of Hispanics (Texas and New Mexico), but if the Whites vote as a block, it’s GAME OVER for the Democrats.
...they have to know that, but they also know that there is NOTHING THEY CAN DO, other than trying to flood the country with people that may be unfriendly to Republicans (and that is not as easy as it sounds).
I think Jonathan Gruber ensured the Republican win already.
Flipping 5 seats is highly unlikely, plus we have a couple we can potentially pick up. They probably will pick up 1 or 2 for sure from Blue States in a presidential election year. If our margin was more like 52-48, it would be a real concern.
WI and IL will be tough to hold. Ron Johnson may be able to hold on with a good campaign and some help from the three-time winner Walker. Plus Walker could well be on the national ticket, which would be helpful to Ron.
We need action NOW.
Cilliza just can’t get out of pre Nov. 4, 2014
“Carried by Obama” carries no weight anymore and two more years of his ministrations to the nation make him even more unpopular.
Maryland went for a Repub Governor and Mikulski must really be thinking over whether it’s worth it.
Patty Murray is on crumbling earth and a likely defeat.
Nothing succeeds like success, and if the next two years play out well for the American voter, despite the stink of Democrat ideas, looks like a good time for GOP incumbents.
they haven’t even taken over yet and their demiss is already being written....
