From Larry Sabato's site:
If we field solid candidates and win the close races, it can very plausibly be done.

At the moment, the political environment appears to have come back down to earth. And, with the 2014 election back to looking more like a referendum on President Obama than House Republicans, we have updated our outlook to a GOP gain of zero to ten House seats.

I’ll be voting against Issa in November for voting for the budget bill!
I’d tend to agree, especially since House seats don’t typically draw full fledged MSM attacks.
I’m much more dubious about the Senate, where the MSM will be going all out to keep control for Caliph Baraq

Arkansas and Alaska only? SURELY! rural and no big cities such as Chicago, etc.? SURELY?? More than a toss up?
Landreiu and Hagan are toast.
Somehow our side has got to figure out how the defeat the current Dem ploy:
war on women, and fund a Libertarian to bleed R votes and win with a Clintonian plurality
It was scary to me that they could put a scumbag like McAwful in Virginia over the top.
I dunno, Colorado sure has been on a roll with recalls.......

Nope. Nothing is baked in right now for 2014. The GOP is busy playing bystander to history and executing their loser tip toe to the election strategy. There will be some races they fumble away. Which ones remains to be seen.
I think LA and NC at least should be a toss up, not lean Democrat.
So field a Greeny, a Commie, and an Independent Trade Unionist candidate.
Are you saying because the House demonized the Tea Party and the Senate is thinking about abandoning the right that the Media is giving them positive spin? Ah, you are so wrong!
If we are on track to gain seats in either branch, it will be BECAUSE of the Tea Party enthusiasts and NOT in spite of them. Government folks keep trying to pretend that they are voting for the folks while keeping business happy - mercy, just how badly can the Republicans get into this bed without losing all conscientious voters?
I just really love this latest budget deal for the businesses with no regard to deficits or the debt. I really don’t think that more than a handful in Washington are even worried about the increasing debt for this country. What a shame for our elected class!
This should be from CROCKpolitical.
True. The Tea Party needs to label establishment candidates in the primaries, why they suck, and then tear the Dems a new one in the generals.
The Whigs are pulling ahead? Wow. That’s big news.
I don’t care about the future of the GOP. I only care about the future of America.
you know Old larry saboto is a Dedicated Dem party operative ?
He works for the Va Dem party and failed to disclose this.
In fact, while being paid as a tv analyst, old lefty larry was caught working for the Webb campaign and smearing the Gop opponent on a daily basis.
He was caught but his damage was done.
The man is a fraud.
Agree.
Cook is a Dc dem party fraud .
And a crock.
I’ll say it again: The republicans will need at least 10% extra votes to make up for the fraud.
I give Obamacare excellent odds on having a disgust factor so high that this is not even going to matter.
