I'm surprised that Hagan is doing well. If the GOP loses that one we have no shot. Colorado I'm not surprised at I never thought we would win that race
She is doing well because the GOP decided to go with a pro amnesty, pro common core, moderate stooge in North Carolina that no conservative is motivated to get out and vote for

Right. We all know that if the republicans take the senate they won't even try to roll back or repeal any of Obama policies.
TBH, the GOP incumbents don't want to take the senate.

I feel like the comment section there demonstrates we are a country of imbeciles. If we're imbeciles, it shouldn't surprise anyone we elect imbeciles.
"The whole thing is a scam and now what's his face in Louisiana claims Obama is a science denier. The next thing they will say is that he is against equal pay for women, against Obamacare.
Absurdity is at the core or Republican propaganda, all aimed at voters who don't know better.
And this is why the Senate majority will likely not change as long as the Democrats have the funds to ward off the fake talking points and get the truth to the voters about this incredible scam on the American people"
and
"Reid is a honest and hard working man with a solid moral compass. I have said this multiple times. If you want things passed then please try to pass "passable" bills and not partisan extremist bills."

It doesn't matter who wins. Gridlock will still be the name of the game.
If the Republicans take control, Obama will veto everything.
If the status quo is maintained, then things will be the same.

They chose to alienate their conservative base by vowing to "CRUSH" the tea party in the primaries.
Now that they have elected all of these "safe, pragmatic moderates", the chances of the GOP taking over the senate are dwindling. That's what happens when you alienate your conservative base. It's 2012 all over again
I agree with this.

It does matter. If they win it, 2016 gives them a chance to control congress and the WH. If the republicans do not, then it won't matter if they take the WH....

Silver said the influence of money in those races could be one explanation, citing massive financial advantages for the Democrats in North Carolina and Colorado, along with higher outside spending by Democratic-leaning super PACs.

From the link:
"Silver's detailed statistical model indicates that Democrats now have a stronger possibility of winning due to changes in the Senate races in Colorado and North Carolina which are currently giving the party an advantage when previously Republicans held the edge."
Last night, USA Today released its new poll (conducted 9/13-9/16) showing Republican Gardner leading Democrat Udall 43-42. Prior to that poll being released, Udall had the lead in the previous 6 polls .
Now this morning, Quinnipiac (conducted 9/10-9/15) shows Gardner leading 48-40. While the margin of the Quinnipiac Poll is likely an outlier, even if it's off by 6 or 7 points, it would still, as the USA poll did, show a reversal in the TREND in Colorado.
Many of these Senate races will continue to go back-and-forth in the polling all the way through November 4th.

Oh don't tell those LAGOP folks that Landrieu might win.
They think they have Cassidy elected just like they thought they had Romney elected.
