look in the mirror and watch your own unconstitutional, immature, heel-kicking, breath holding tantrums you continue to have over losing the Civil Wa--no, no I meant losing in 2012.

"Anger Over Supreme Court Vacancy Could Expand 2016 Senate Map
New Public Policy Polling surveys in Arizona, Iowa, Missouri, and North Carolina find that voter anger over their Republican Senators unwillingness to consider a replacement for Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court could help make those seats competitive for Democrats this fall.
Key findings from the surveys include:
-All these Senators start out with pretty mediocre approval ratings. John McCains approval is a 26/63 spread, Roy Blunts is 25/48, and Richard Burrs is 28/44. Only Chuck Grassley within this group is on positive ground and his 47/44 spread is down considerably from what we usually find for him as he loses crossover support from Democrats because of his intransigence on the Supreme Court issue. Further making life difficult for this quartet is the incredibly damaged brand of Senate Republicans. Mitch McConnell is vastly unpopular in these four states, coming in at 11/63 in Iowa, 16/68 in Arizona, 16/69 in Missouri, and 19/65 in North Carolina. McConnell will be an albatross for all Senate Republicans seeking reelection this fall."
GOP Senators up for reelection in 2016:
Kelly Ayotte (New Hampshire)
Roy Blunt (Missouri)
John Boozman (Arkansas)
Richard Burr (North Carolina)
Dan Coats (Indiana) retiring in 2016

John Thune (South Dakota)
Pat Toomey (Pennsylvania)
David Vitter (Louisiana)
