The best chance for the Democrats to win back the Senate and possibly the House is for the Republicans to continue acting like Democrats.
Works every time.

Oh there is a MUCH simpler way for the Democrats to re-gain the Senate and maybe even the House; just let Tokyo Rove get the nomination for Jeb Bush and 15 to 20 percent of the Republican rank and file will stay home. Simple aint it?

Let Boehner be Boehner. They can watch him entrench obama's destruction of the Constitution AND recover the Senate AND continue the federal government's war against American citizens.

Sounds like a win-win-win.

There will be A LOT more democrats spots open than they are thinking. A LOT of Democrats will announcce that they will retire between now and then.

No one like being in the minority.

Not necessarily true. The Republican Party loves being the minority party.

I'll bet anything that Dumbos are preparing to trot out Sen Schumer w/ his familiar stroll down memory lane refrain: "Ooops, we shouldn'ta done that."

Schumer recently tripped lightly down memory lane in his ankle-tied pink Capezios, tsk-tsk'ing about Dumbos passing the atrocity known as Obamacare.

Get ready for Schumer sing-song'ing about the amnesty atrocity.....to the tune of " Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again."

True, but as Rush said, they'll lose as long as they continue to follow in the footsteps of their former Grand Poobah and revered patron saint, Bob Michel (AKA Tip O'Neill's golf caddy):

And ever since November, they're doing a bang-up job of it.

Promise the lazy freeloaders more free stuff if they vote for you. It’s not rocket science.

who do the GOP have to run in his place?

There are plenty of folks who could beat Alison Lundergan Grimes. We've got a lot more of a bench than we used to have here, and we should have a good election this year (our statewide offices are all up). I hope there is a real effort to remove her from her current office, which I think is also very doable.

Bad Democrats are bad Democrats. Generalization is a powerful force, especially when it will be reinforced by the R’s

Senator Brian Sandoval.

Run AG Adam Laxalt for governor. Sandoval may also be a '16 VP possibility as is Gov. Martinez.

Schumer’s not a corrupt lying communist sympathizer, fake Indian, or bizarre woman who ran ‘sluts and nuts’ teams... with a possible pedophile husband...

That makes him the best democrats have... Is that scary or what, Liz?

Oh wait - they've got flighty brain addled Nancy Pelosi...

I have to give it to Schumer. I don't agree with him, but he's a pretty good politician.

He knows when to go for the jugular and when to let go. I recall him being on a news program when Bush v Gore was announced... and he said, "You know, from my reading, this is over. Time to move on." or words to that effect.

When it's time to go for the jugular... he is RUTHLESS. Our side could use someone with his qualities. Our last best "enforcer" was Tom Delay.

Look for the Dem's VP candidate to be black.

The black Obama voter base has already demonstrated its unreliability in getting to the polls if he's not on the ballot.

They're not going to turn out for Warren in numbers like they did for Obama. Democrats aren't stupid. They know this.

The Washington Post has already began to move into the realm of "wishful thinking."

I agree with other posters here. Obamacare will deep-six the Dems beyond anything they expected or imagined.

I have no use for the fraud Ayotte in NH, but she is not going to lose that seat.

As you say Obama isn't running again. And Clinton, or whoever the Democrats run, won't have much trouble differentiating themselves from him.

I am not sure that is a true statement.

Hilleary was Obama’s Secretary of State. She oversaw a disastrous foreign policy. She did a lot of nothing and what was done under her tenure was a failure. The country and the world is in far more danger than before Obama. Either Obama wanted it that way and she stayed the course, did not resign and did not speak out against those policies or she agreed with him. Any way you look at it, she was a failure.

Any Democrat in congress who runs has a record of voting Obama’s way. Failure. Few spoke out against any Obama policy and when they did it was a weak decent. The vast majority vigorously defended Obama at every turn.

The public record condemns every Democrat as an Obama yes man. They can run away from Obama but he is a tar baby that will stick to them where ever they go.

But whoever is nominated will be white washed by the press so it will be a race that the Republicans will have to work hard to win.
