since the Dems are gonna lose the senate in 2014,

Don't bet on it. The Reps thought they were going to take back the Senate in 2012 and wound up losing two seats. The Dems will retain control of the Senate in 2014 and the Reps will be hard pressed to retain control of the House. Obama's conversion of his Organizing for America campaign organization into a populist organization supporting the progressive agenda will have a major impact on the 2014 elections. It will have $1.6 billion to spend.

The Reps are divided and dispirited. Boehner's cave on the fiscal cliff and the support of the pork filled $61 billion Sandy bill have demonstrated that the Reps lack the will to fight Obama and curb spending.

We may yet manage to screw it up..it's what we do, but one has to be positive, optimistic. Otherwise it's hard to gear up for all the hard work, the ground game, the grunt work that must be done.

If we fail to take the Senate in 2014, then we seriously need to start thinking about a third party.
