(613 posts)as they did in 2010 special but it is unlikely to happen. The likely Democratic nominees in the special (Markey-D or Capuano-D) are going to run a much stronger general election campaign in the special election against Brown-R than Coakley-D did in 2010.
Nov 2014- Brown-R gets voted out of office. Like Nov 2012- Brown-R would be the only GOP incumbent up for re-election that loses.
The highly vulnerable Democratic held US Senate Seats in 2014 are
SD(Johnson-D vs Rounds-R),WV(Rockefeller-D vs Capito-R),AK(Begich-D vs Treadwell-R), Democrats are also vulnerable in AR,LA,and NC but the Democratic incumbents could hang onto those seats.
The highly vulnerable Republican held seats are ME-if Collins retires or loses in the primary.
The biggest upset would be KY- Judd defeating McConnell.
