8. Democrats can afford to lose 6 vulnerable Democratic held seats and defeat Turtleman(KY)-

hold a narrow majority in the US Senate.
They lose open seats in WV and SD, Pryor-AR loses to Cotton-R, Landrieu-LA loses to Cassidy-R.
That leaves Baucus-MT(vulnerable to a challenge from Daines-R or Fox-R).
Democrats will hold onto open seats in MI and IA, plus NC and AK.
I would prefer seeing Democrats lose control of the US Senate in 2014 and turtleman(KY) narrowly lose his seat.
Republicans will have to chose the next Senate Majority Leader.
