THIS two year time-frame was important, because in 2015, Pres. O may have a republican house AND senate..

and whomever is elected in 2016 have have them as well

The maps are not "good" for us..

I can see us losing 7 from this map...and how many red seats might we pick up?..I see ZERO

This is a "kinder map", but 2016 is a presidential year and who knows how that will go? a republican win could sweep in some unexpected senators too..You KNOW they will pull out all the stops for this final hurrah and an attempt to undo everything Obama managed to accomplish..
