Yeah it looks like the Repubs are going to take the Senate , I think dissatisfaction with country and the President unfortunately they always blame the party in power, the republicans constant obstruction seems to have worked for now but we have really weak candidates , Brakey in Iowa should have never said that farmer remark and Udall has been playing it too safe , I could be wrong but I think the senate is gone , now 2016 is a whole new ball game but We Dems have a lot if work to do ... Of course if the repubs take the presidency too in 16 .. We could be royally fucked , god I hope not :!!!

You think many are betting that it will really show the GOPT freak flag with a red senate and they will over reach and end up helping the Pres and or help elect Hillary and a dem congress ? There is no guarantee of that , some should be careful of what they wish for IMO!

It's depressing , but it looks to be the case unless there is a last minute miracle and we way over perform GOtV ar the last minute , the Senate is gone , it looks like they will impeach the pres too or at the very least tell him they won't raise the debit ceiling unless he agrees to cuts to Medicare and Medicaid , SS and abolishes Obamacare , count on it they are nuts

I dont think they will do as well as they do.
Its not over till its over, some races will be TCTC for a while. We had one race for gov. here in WA took 3 weeks to count.

The party in the White nearly always loses Senate seats in mid-term elections.

to vote and get out and Just Do It in November!

I've read Pot could be too hot to handle for Colorado Politicians.. wonder if ACA is too hot to handle too?

Come on Colorado(my home state).. don't make yourselves sorry with a repbublicon grid locking sociopath for a Senator.

and the "moderates" stop their constant campaign for 2016 and start looking at November.

With all the liberal bashing and hate for the left I read at DU I can only imagine what people are seeing all over the rest of the internet.

I am not seeing any GOTV in South Florida. Where are the Democrats? Where is Debbie W Schultz?
