'Bloodbath': CNN, NBC projecting 53-54 US Senate seats for Republicans

Posted at 11:03 pm on November 4, 2014 by Jesse M.

With projected wins in Kansas, North Carolina, Iowa, Colorado, Georgia — and Virginia and New Hampshire too close to call — Republicans appear to be on the cusp of holding at least 53 seats in the US Senate.

If GOP wins AK-Sen, GA-Sen and LA-Sen, they get to 53 seats.

It seems like GOP will get minimum 53 seats, but could add NC-Sen

NBC speculating that the GOP could get 53-54 Senate seats. That could insulate them in 2016.

Wave RT @JoeNBC: I projected 53 Republican Senate seats–more than most did. With Georgia going red, it looks like they may hit 54 or 55.

The only real question at this point is if the #GOP ends the night with 53 or 54 seats. If Warner loses, #Virginia will haunt Dems

With as many as 53-54 Senate seats, success in statehouses around country, this a wave election for GOP. Do something positive with it.
