Friendly Arithmetic

Take a look at some numbers that favor the GOP taking control of the U.S. Senate in 2014:

In 2014, seven Democratic senators are up for re-election in states won by Romney, while only one Republican senator is up for re-election in a state won by Obama. And since off-year elections usually see a fall-off in minority and young voters, Democrats will be hard-pressed to repeat last year’s Senate victories.
