Earlier this week, PPP polls of Pennsylvania and Ohio found that Republican incumbents Pat Toomey (PA) and Rob Portman (OH) are in jeopardy of losing their seats due to the due to the decision by Senate Majority Leaders Mitch McConnell to obstruct President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee.

Democrats need to capture five Republican seats to retake control of the Senate, and thanks to the Republican decision to obstruct and Obama’s nominee before he or she has been chosen, Democrats have the inside track on four seats. It might not matter who Republicans nominate for president.

The Senate is slipping away from Republicans because the bill for years of obstructing President Obama may be coming due this November.

Problem is then in 2018 there are 8 dems in red states up for re-election, so they will wrangle back the senate. Its a constant back and forth.

4 seats out of what is up for election for the GOP would actually not be bad.

But I doubt it.

What I've read there are two or three seats on the Dem side in jeopardy Harry Reid's seat especially.

That would be a lot considering the number of (D) seats up for election.

Most people, including most Democrats couldn't tell you how many Justices there are on the Supreme Court if you held a pistol to their heads.

The Democrat spin machine is not going to be able to make this an issue, no matter how hard they try.

The article is bullsheet. Ron Johnson (R-WI) was in trouble long before Scalia died; this is just nonsense spin.

Here is a 2016 senate election interactive map (http://www.270towin.com/2016-senate-election/)


The current U.S. Senate has 54 Republicans and 45 Democrats (including one independent). The 2016 Senate election takes place on November 8, 2016. There are 34 seats up in 2016, of which 24 are held by Republicans. Democrats will need to gain 4 or 5 (http://www.270towin.com/content/who-controls-the-senate-in-a-tie/) seats to take control.

This 3-part Senate map lets you view the current Senate, make a forecast for the 2016 Senate elections, and see the composition of the 2017 Senate based on those predictions. Use the buttons below the map to share it on social media or embed it into a web page. Send us feedback (http://www.270towin.com/news/2016/01/08/new-2016-senate-interactive-map_174.html) on this new Senate map.

According to this, of the 34 seats up, only 9 are heavily contested.

Often Americans want gridlock so they try not to let one party control the executive and legislative branch. Smart move.
