The GOP planned that pretty well

People keep saying this but it's not really true. - David Oct 2, 09:11 30

  - I am confused why the Dems are going to lose seats again in the Senate. Gerrymandered House makes sense, but you can't gerrymander states. -- nm - ty97 Oct 2, 09:26 8
    - Combination of red states with long-time Democrats retiring. - Will Hunting Oct 2, 09:29
    - you have to look at which states are up for senate elections this cycle. -- nm - znufrii Oct 2, 09:28
    - (note: I'm not disagreeing the truth of it, I just don't get why it's happening) -- nm - ty97 Oct 2, 09:27 5

        Does this imply that the Dems are due to have gains in 2016? Because if losses in 2012 and 2014 aren't counteracted in 2016.... - ty97 Oct 2, 09:31 3

        GOP will be defending around 24 seats in 2016, versus 10 for the Dems. -- (link) - znufrii Oct 2, 09:35
        
        They will be facing the GOP Class of 2010 and should have some snap-back opportunities then, yes. - Will Hunting Oct 2, 09:33
  - I think 3 seats are already gone based on reality (Montana / WV / South Dakota) - Will Hunting Oct 2, 09:20 14

    - Clare McCaskill is as good as gone! -- nm - David Oct 2, 09:23 12
      - Well, the 3 good as gones I mention are open seats --- with Republicans who are slightly better than a loony toon Akin - Will Hunting Oct 2, 09:26 4
        
        What I believe is that actions have consequences and that objects in motion stay in motion. - David Oct 2, 09:34 2

        No, what is now is now, what is then is then. But we have data now that will still matter then. This isn't a 50/50 game. - Will Hunting Oct 2, 09:37

      - Wait...didn't she win just last year? - Mel Profit Oct 2, 09:25 4
        
        Yeah and she won by like 15 points. -- nm - Jim Oct 2, 09:27

        Ah...totally missed that. -- nm - Jim Oct 2, 09:27
      - Don't be so sure. We may lean red...but we also love us some Claire... - Jim Oct 2, 09:25 1
        
        And it did take an epic implosion from a 100% moron to let her win. - Will Hunting Oct 2, 09:27
  - Yes. Nah. -- nm - David Oct 2, 09:19 4

      - I don't know. Can you repeat the question? - David Oct 2, 09:21 2

        What can I say? I have a skill for this. -- nm - David Oct 2, 09:24
