2014 US Senate Election-Good Year for Democrats.

[NPolitics1979]

Red State US Senate Seats held by Democrats.
WV is most likely to go Republican because it is an open seat and Republicans have a top tier candidate-Capito-R, had Rockefeller-D decided to run again, seat could have stayed purple/blue.
SD is in the Tossup category-Top tier Republican- Rounds-R but could lean Republican if Johnson-D retires. Herseth-D will have a tough time following Heitkamps lead because Rounds is much stronger than Berg.
Begich(D-AK) has a high single or double digit lead over Treadwell,Miller,or Palin.
Pryor(D-AR),Landrieu(D-LA),Baucus(D-MT) and Hagan(D-NC) are faced with 2nd tier Republican challengers.
Democrats will hold onto open seats in MA-Markey, IA-Braley,and potential open seats in NJ-Booker and MI-Peters-D.
Purple State Democratic incumbents like Udall-CO,Franken-MN,Shaheen-NH,Udall-NM,Merkley-OR,and Warner-VA are favored to win re-election.

Democrats pick up ME-If Collins retires, GA-a top tier Democrat runs against crazy Broun-R, and KY-Judd-D taking down McConnell-R.

1. That's pretty much the best case scenario

Someone like Begich is at least as likely to lose as McConnell.
