2014 US Senate Election

Republicans have a net gain of 2 to 4.
WV(Open-Rockefeller-D)Capito-R and SD(Open-Johnson-D)Rounds-R flip.
AR(Pryor-D) and MT(Baucus-D) could go down in a 2010 environment.
Democrats hold onto AK(Begich-D),LA(Landrieu-D)and NC(Hagan-D) and open seats in IA(Harkin-D)Braley-D and MI(Levin-D)Peters-D
Republicans hold onto GA and KY?????
ME depends on whether or not Collins runs again.

I think all of those are toss-ups at this point. Turnout will determine the winner, the teabaggers seem less motivated and independents sat out 2010, hard to call at this point though.

Might also depend which of this states are electing governors as well, that will boost overall turnout for both sides maybe.

...it's because we failed to get our base out to vote. This crap of only voting in presidential elections and ignorning midterms MUST end. Every liberal American must get out and vote in the 2014 midterm elections. If we do we'll win, if we don't we'll lose. It's that simple.
