The top 5 most disastrous campaigns of 2014 — so far

[DonViejo]

Happy Labor Day weekend! In politics, this marks the final period of calm before a whirlwind nine weeks leading up to Election Day.

It's also a good time to reflect on the 2014 election cycle so far -- full of dramatic twists, turns, unexpected triumphs and bitter disappointments. Sometimes all in the same day.

There have also been a handful of unmitigated disasters. We're talking about the campaigns that failed miserably, after kicking off full of promise, in most cases.

Today, we take a look at the five most disastrous campaigns so far -- although there's no doubt that between now and Nov. 4, we'll find a few more to add to this list -- in alphabetical order. Who did we miss? The comments section awaits your input!

1. Washington Propaganda - I mean, Washington Post, lists 3 Democrats out of 5 candidates.

Only two Republicans. That's not by accident.

They want the "Republicans set to take over the Senate" meme they've been crowing about to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

2. Martha Coakley is running again in MA,

I'm sure before it's all done, she'll manage her way on this list.
