Fight for Senate Control Down to Five States
Roll Call Politics ^ | September 24, 2014 | Stuart Rothenberg

With six weeks to go, the fight for control of the Senate is down to five states, four of them currently held by Democrats.

Republicans must win only two of those contests to guarantee the 51 seats they need to control the Senate for the last two years of Barack Obama’s presidency. And they need to win only one of the Democratic states if they hold the only GOP seat at serious risk.

While things could still change — and national polls continue to show an environment that may produce a substantial GOP wave in the House and Senate — the Senate battle has boiled down to two reliably red states and three swing states.

Thanks for the info. Sometimes the veneer of FR civility is very thin.

Anybody who is undecided today is a moron.

I am in Georgia, and I am not worried about Georgia.

I kind of like this thread better.
It’s got more comments than the original thread.

Wonder if Landrieu’s keg stand photo is a help, or a hindrance. Hard to say in LA.

Progressives/Liberals are extremely totalitarian.
True, but at least they are not RINOS, so they’ve got that going for them.

Centurion, you did mean the second sentence sarcastically?

Some people don’t like the message and want to shoot the messenger before he can deliver the message to anyone else.

The only thing keeping her alive is her Cajun ancestry. Otherwise she’d be gone.

And Franken’s starting to look a little green around the gills, too.

I'd give a weeks pay to see that foul mouthed little turd lose. Not going to happen.

The main thing is the Left thought they had the Kansas math DOWN. At least within the margin of Fraud, ~5%, due to Wolf’s supporters either sitting it out or voting Ormand (not happening).

Now they have the problem of not the lame GOPe has-beens visiting to prop Roberts (about as exciting as attending a garage sale in the projects) but the pre-eminent TEA girl coming out to remind them that ALL TEA Americans have hurt feelings (myself included) regarding their primaries, but primary time is over. Now is Taking Back Senate Time.

Sarah.... may... even have a special guest in Independence.

I’m just trying to get along with the FR Harry Reid Fan Club. I would hate to upset them.

He’s got an axe to grind, and he doesn’t understand that I don’t have any issue with double posts of articles, I just like to ensure that people are aware of them if they want to see the full panoply of posts, even those from Tennmountainman

I don’t think that I’m going to be getting tennmountainman’s vote for President of the FR Harry Reid Fan Club.
