2014 Senate Elections: Polls, Projections, Results - Election Projection
These predictions are based on the polls.
They have the GOP picking up LS, MT, NC, SD and WV (5 seats) for a 50/50 split. I think the GOP is going to also take AK and AR for a 52-48 split. Far cry from the 60 filibustering busting amount, but good enough.
Once they get a majority, the GOP has every right to do away with the filibuster; the Dems foolishly did the same thing for some issues.
They got rid of it for appointees, not legislation.

Yes, I know which is why I qualified it by saying "for some issues." The importance however is that it sets the precedent.
