Five Thirty Eight blog at New York Times ^ | 7/15/2013 | Nate Silver

A race-by-race analysis of the Senate, in fact, suggests that Republicans might now be close to even-money to win control of the chamber after next year’s elections. Our best guess, after assigning probabilities of the likelihood of a G.O.P. pickup in each state, is that Republicans will end up with somewhere between 50 and 51 Senate seats after 2014, putting them right on the threshold of a majority.

Just remember that it was confirmed that nate here was so accurate in 2012 because he had ALL of obama’s internal polling and rumor has it at least some republican polling also. obama’s polling knew about the IRS and vote stealing.

Remember when the Republicans had control of the Senate by a similar small majority under Trent Lott? The Dems argued that control of the Senate should be shared since they had 49 votes. Trent Lott listened.

Geez!

>> Trent Lott listened.

“Charlie Brown” McConnell will give them co-control as well.

(R) == the “Kick Me!” party

Controlled by RINO’s means basically no difference. Except that maybe Cruz could get the Majority Leader spot. Wouldn’t that be a hoot.

Yeah, I’m going to preface this with a big F U to this creep, but I do think our chances are strong, especially now that Schweitzer is not running in Montana.

(ND & WV) locked up
(AR, MT) leaning our way
(NC, AK, LA) toss-up
(IA, MI) backups
(CO) long shot

“Representative Bill Cassidy, has an extremely conservative voting record”

First I’ve heard that, but then again, Rats think Krispy is a right winger.
