Report: GOP may have a shot at Senate majority in 2014

With Democrats on the defensive in recent months, the Washington Examiner's Michael Barone suggests that their majority may be in jeopardy in 2014 and outlines a possible route to victory for the GOP:

The lineup is certainly favorable to Republicans. Assuming the New Jersey seat now held by Republican appointee Jeff Chiesa goes Democratic in the October special election, only 14 Republican seats will be up in 2014, as against 21 Democratic seats.

Only one of those Republican seats is in a state carried by Barack Obama, Maine (56 percent Obama), and three-term incumbent Susan Collins looks unbeatable.

In contrast, Democrats have to defend seats in seven states carried by Mitt Romney and in four states that were target states in the 2012 presidential election.
