The question is not whether or not the Democrats will lose control of the Senate but rather how badly they will lose. A visit to Democratic pollster, Charlie Cook's web site ought to give loyal Democrats sharp abdominal pain. Yep, it's down right gut wrenching! The Democrats must defend 23 seats while the Republicans need only defend 12. Four Democratic Senators-three of whom voted for Obamacare have had a "come to Jesus" moment. Those Senators would be McCaskill, Tester, Manchin and Ben Nelson. Legal Insurrection has a video featuring Senator Nelson having an apparent change of heart the likes of which the western world hasn't seen since Paul on the road to Damascus. Even if the individual mandates are constitutional they are damned unpopular and unpopular people lose elections. Chris Stirewalt, over at Foxnews, identifies eight especially vulnerable seats.
