Democrats Look to Lose 6 to 7 Senate Seats, One Forecast Predicts

If the senate seat was lost in Massachussetes, a heavy democratic state, where the democrat candidate was a supposed lock to win, how can any democrat feel even somewhat comfortable in this up coming election? And to think this pollster thinks he knows what AMERICANS are thinking? Just mention Healthcare, bailouts, immigration "reform", presidential vacations, and Cap & Spend, and there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to vote democrat. Any AND all of these issues are very unpopular to the WORKING class CITIZEN.

I'm trying to think of a few rays of hope for the Democrats this year. Well, (1) Bennet in Colorado could hold his seat if controversial loose cannon Tom Tancredo (a third-party candidate for governor, I believe) decides to cozy up to his opponent. (2) Sharron Angle in Nevada is capable of self-destruction. (3)Democrats in Pennsylvania historically outperform their poll numbers, giving Joe Sestak a good chance to hold this seat. (4) Murkowski's primary defeat in Alaska increases the Democrats' chances of gaining this seat from 0% to about 2%. (5) David Vitter is one gaffe away from a close race in Louisiana. (6) Democrats have measurable chances of picking up GOP seats in Kentucky, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Ohio, although none are likely (NH is probably the most likely). And perhaps the best chance of a Democrat gain is if (7) Mario Rubio (R) conducts such a vicious campaign against Charlie Crist (I) (as Meek (D) drops meekly into the background) that the victorious Crist will decide to join the Democratic caucus. But the Democrats have to remember that their seats in California, Connecticut, Illinois, Washington and West Virginia (none mentioned in this article) are hardly secure.

all you libs just keep on trucking,the edge of the cliff is closer than you think!!!!

The Democrats will lose both houses this fall! Why? Because Open Enrollment for medical insurance starts in October and when people really see what Obamacare does to their premiums, a Democrat couldn't make dog catcher. Take it to the bank!

Nate Silver nailed the 2008 election with 99% accuracy. He mis-calculated one House race last election, that's it. He's probably right on par with this one too.

Nice Spin piece but we plan to do a WHOLE lot better. The Democrats have absolutely nothing to be enthuastic about. RECOVERY SUMMER!!! (LOL) On the other hand, Republicans exceptionally high Primary voting numbers in an off-Presidential year reveal that they can't WAIT for November 2nd.!!!

I think Linda McMahon will take the seat in Connecticut. She is running against Dick "I remember when I returned from Vietnam" Blumenthal. By the way, he never served in Vietnam. Linda is successful at running a business while Dicky Blumenthal is successful at running businesses out of the state of Connecticut.

It is better that no one party generally "OWNS" the senate. this may give the democrats pause but it is time that both parties look at the economic and immigration problems that face us today. granted the house is the one that supplies the money but they are also facing a big problem of retaining their seats. Pelosi may keep her post but with few members and a lower majority to do any of her crazy bidding. If we had a good thirfd party with good candidates maybe I would find someone to really vote for and not against.
