In even a neutral political environment, the 2014 midterms were going to be a challenge for Senate Democrats. They are defending 21 seats to the GOP's 15, with only two of the Republican seats at any kind of risk of flipping to the Democrats. Moreover, Democrats were defending many freshman Senators who first won office in in Republican states in Obama's wave election in 2008.
This isn't a neutral political environment, however. Obama's low approval ratings, the continued fallout over ObamaCare, current Democrat happy-talk notwithstanding, and the sluggish economy have provided Republicans with an enthusiasm and turnout advantage that could match 2010.

I hope they spread out their funds as thin as possible!
Was just looking at the NM race. Seems with the BUndy fiasco the ranchers there might be goaded into taking a second look at their senator
I don’t feel optimistic. Wait for the Fat Lady to sing. The media is revving up its pro-Leftist engine, and the GOP’s engine remains in 2nd gear.
But the Democrats have an ace in the hole - the Republican leadership!
I can see November from my house.
The Dem’s old....Don’t bother going to the polls, we’re going to win the Senate anyways.
And amnesty pushed by the House GOP leadership.
I agree....no real fire & brimstone is coming forward from the “Republican Establishment”. They are frightened to get in there and rip Democrat hearts out. Ya got no Mojo fire in the belly ......you lose!!!
If we are going to get our country back from thug Obama and company....we had better damn well get out on the primary and election days to do our thing to destroy Obama & his Dempocrat low life, America destroyers, politically!!! The establishment Pubbies & RINOs do not have a clue!!!
And deceased voters
And voters who vote in at least two different states
And "stuffed Ballot Boxes "
The RHINOs voting for amnesty will lower the supporting vote
and assure representative 'minority' status for decades.
Don't believe me ?
Ask Nazi Pelousey who vetted Obama , ObamaCare, and Harry Reid.
Hope we get the Senate and keep the House. Start impeachments starting with Holder. Also put in a bill removing all heavy weapons from the BLM, HLS, etc. If those agencies need some sort of enforcement based on legal court decisions call upon the Sheriff or police in each State should be the enforcement agency. This is America.

Yeah, let’s get a “brace” of Udalls!! This is another “political dynasty” that needs to be shown the door.
No, their ace in the hole is Amnesty.
Oh, same thing.
Actually, I hope they're dumb enough to keep throwing money away on Wendy Davis so they don't have enough to even prioritize some of these states.
Not fond of Republicans as a whole, but in general they're better than Democrats, and I'd dearly love to see Obama forced into going along with them or vetoing everything in sight.
The news media has ruled the USA for at least 100 years.
The media shapes our lives, our laws, and our future. It works by manipulating public perception so that socialist ideas begin to seem acceptable over time.
What we focus on is what we think. the media controls what people talk about “Trayvon martin” vs Obama’s IRS oppressing conservatives.
I wonder about the legal feasibility of claiming that these agencies are becoming de facto military units and that posse comatatus should apply to them.
So true. There's still plenty of time for Boehner to pass amnesty alienating a lot of conservatives. And then Ryan can alienate everyone else and scare any independents and democrats on the fence by pushing cuts to entitlements.
