It doesn't really matter. Even if the Democrats hold onto the Senate by the skin of their teeth, I think that the judicial filibuster elimination won't have 50 Senators supporting it. The 114th Congress will be awful.

Time to panic now? 3 weeks to go, and Begich, Braley and Udall are all trailing.

Things aren't looking that great, but there's still a decent chance of barely keeping the majority, with the most likely case being losing MT, SD, WV, AR, LA, and AK, but gaining Orman.

It's looking like the Republicans are probably going to gain the Senate at this point. Obama needs to veto like crazy, but of course he won't.

It's not like Democrats were going to be able to get 60 before 2020 anyway, and 60 is the only number that matters as far as the Senate goes.

Hillary won't be as toxic to Congressional candidates as Obama is. We'll retake the Senate with her coattails in 2016, 2018 will be about even, and we'll have a shot at 60 in 2020 with Hillary's second set of coattails.

If Hillary was President the last 6 years and Obama wasn't, I think you'd be saying the same about Obama.
