Bold election predictions for 2014 and beyond

I have been listening to the Left wing media and the Democrats crow about the perceived death of the Republican Party.  I have listened as they wax nostalgic about winning back the House in 2014.  So, friends, I have done some work and, here are my predictions for the elections of 2014. 

*Caveat: It is early and a lot could change.  Also, my list is subject to change close to the election, but these are my early predictions.

The House: Republicans will hold the house and even pick up seats.  Many of the top minds in the business think that only TEN Seats are in play...and even if we lost these, we'd still be in the majority.  The key is to knock off RINOs and replace Boehner as Speaker.  I haven't looked at all of the House races, but I have been more thorough for the Senate.

Senate: Republicans gain control of the Senate.  Here is why:

Key races: AK, AR, LA, MT, NC, SD, WV.  These are all highly probably pick-ups barring no major errors from Republicans.  All are Red States and all of them have Democrats who have supported the Obama agenda.  Currently, the GOP leads in WV and SD and probably MT.  We should win NC, AR and AK.  LA will be tough as Landrieu is tough to beat.

Bottom line: Net pick up of 6 or 7.  Republicans need 4 to take the Senate.

Now, for possible pick ups: These races will be harder to win, but with the right candidates, it is possible.  Look for good contests in CO, IA, MI and NH.  I think we win CO.

Democrats are targeting GA and KY...but they won't win either of these.

So, Republicans should be in good shape.  But, we don't simply want RINO's to win, we want Conservatives...so, look for a Conservative shakeup in the races as well.  Here is my RINO hunting count:

By my count, we have SEVEN RINO Republicans that will be targeted for defeat (all but GA are safely Republican, so we won't lose anything if Conservatives win/lose).  These RINOS are the following:

Alexander - TN, Roberts - KS, McConnell - KY, Graham - SC, Enzi - WY, Cornyn - TX.  GA is in play as RINO Chambliss is retiring.  So, look for Conservatives to win a few if not all of these seats.  That will have a HUGE impact on the makeup of the Senate.

So, these are my predictions for now, but they might change or be updated close to 2014 midterms.
