Up for Re-Election in 2016
 
You've got to strike Mikulski, Boxer and Reid running. Except for 3 or 4, those Republicans are in pretty red states and the blue dogs are finished. Senate stays Republican.
 
"Looks good for Democrats"

I heard that all of 2014 :biggrin:

As most political observers know - a General Election is much different than a mid-term election.

Save it Lieawatha, you loons vowed you wouldn't lose the Senate and guess what happened? You were shellacked, annihilated....why do you think that happened?

Sleepy mid-term. Democrats knew President Obama controlled the White House.

LOL Obungles is why they lost the Senate. You're fooling nobody

I know you never look beneath the obvious, but let's eliminate the ones that are not Democrats in solid blue states and Republicans in solid red states.

The Reid seat will likely go to the GOP and the Republicans uo for reelection are pretty safe.

Yep, and Grassley is like a five termer.

Really Ayotte, Kirk and Toomey are the only really vulnerable based on being Republicans in Blue States and Nevada is a likely flip to Red. The rest Democrats will have to win by ousting an incumbent in a State not favoring Democrats while Bennet has to defend a Blue seat in a swing State

Sleepy mid-term. Democrats knew President Obama controlled the White House.

You keep telling yourself that. The numbers of incumbents who went down were still historic for a mid term, skippy.

Since Hillary will likely be in the White House - voters must decide whether they want a few more years of Senate obstruction.

Still clinging to Hillary, eh? :happy-1:
