Cillizza: Senate Goes GOP

Chris Cillizza writes and blogs politics for The Washington Post. He argues that a state-by-state analysis, which he shares with the reader, shows Republicans are quite likely to have a majority in the U.S. Senate as a result of the November election. Cillizza writes:

These past seven days typified the fates of the two parties this election cycle. Democrats have been hit by retirements in tough states — Montana, West Virginia, South Dakota and, to a lesser extent, Iowa — and Republicans haven’t nominated the sort of extreme candidates who lack broader appeal in a general election.

The GOP seems to be getting more than its share of good luck this year. Over the next two years, Barry O will get to use his veto pen.
