The fact that it is virtually guaranteed they will retain the Senate makes it a victory. I remember how we were musing back in 2010 that the Dems had no chance at retaining the chamber. Now, thanks to Akin, Mourdock, and Thompson being lazy, it looks very possible - if not likely - that the worst outcome for them would be not net gain in seats.
The funny thing is, most Republicans aren't even paying attention to this. They are too consumed by the presidential race to have more than a passing interest. I get the feeling that if Obama is re-elected, Dems gain seats in the House, and cement their control of the Senate, they will be furious.
