Four weeks away from the 2014 midterm elections and even some Democratic operatives struggle to imagine a scenario where they retain control of the U.S. Senate. The terrain and current momentum seem all but overwhelming and against them.
A new CNN/ORC poll out Thursday morning suggests a Republican lead over a Democratic incumbent, this time in Alaska, and does nothing to calm Democrats' nerves.
"If you put a gun to my head, I guess I'd say that we're going to lose the Senate," one Democratic consultant told me in a moment of anonymous candor.
It's not even so much that President Obama is an Ancient Mariner-esque Albatross around their necks, though he is....

After the election I sure hope we start the impeachment.
Duh, it contains math! Dumbascraps only do feeeeeeeeeeelings. (It's fer the cheeeeelrun!!)
More lowering expectations from the liberal media. I honestly do not see the GOP retaking the Senate, and may even lose some House seats.
Impeached? He could behead a troop of girl scouts on the White House lawn during the Easter Egg roll, butcher them, barbecue them and serve them to all the participants and he still wouldnt be impeached. And if you criticized him about it, the press would say its a black thing and accuse you of being a racist tea bagging rethuglican for bringing it up while licking their fingers and asking Michelle what kind of awesome spice rub theyre using and beg for more of that delicious macaroni & cheese and a refill of their Kool-aid.
My paranoia suggests a widespread Ebola contamination alarm in southern states with public service announcements to avoid crowded public places. Like the polls.
Eh, if you believe the polls, I can count to 52 right now. Of course, that can change in an instant.
That assumes: Keeping Kentucky and Georgia. Taking West Virginia, South Dakota and Montana to get to 49 then taking Iowa, Alaska and Colorado. Colorado is a pure tossup, slight lean Republican. Alaska is trending Republican and Iowa seems to lean Republican as well.
The lead will expand to 53 if Roberts can hang on in Kansas.
An upset in NC will bring it to 54. New Hampshire 55 and Michigan 56 (in order of possibility). Only NC is really in play. Everything else is more or less locked up right now.
There aren’t a ton of House seats in play. The only question is whether the Republicans can add to their majority. The chances of the Democrats taking the lower chamber is very slim.
Lol!
I hear you man!
Does it make any difference?
If the Republicans do take the Senate, McConnell and Boehner’s first act will be to pass amnesty.
And then in 2016, the conservative base will stay home after this traitorous act, and Hillary will be President with a Democrat House and Senate.
Obama is so increasingly unpopular that the Republicans ought to start impeachment now, and DARE the Democrats to not support his removal from office before the November election.
Thad may be the Republican equivalent of "Weekend at Bernies," but Cochran still has a double-digit lead. That seat is pretty much safe.
Trust me, it’s not going to happen.
If you believe that ballots as counted will reflect votes cast, I agree with you. The fact is that election fraud grows every election, and the Democrats are masters at that crime. What matters is whether we can win the key races by enough to put the elections outside the ever increasing margin of fraud.
You forgot Landrieu. She’s not going to win Louisiana.
You're dreaming or you're delusional.
So Biden can take over and make Obama a martyr like Clinton turned out to be in Democrat circles? There will be no impeachment. Bank on it.
And Prior in Arkansas should also lose. You're right, I missed both of those on my list. Not even Billy Jeff will help Prior.
Sadly, you exaggerate only slightly.
