2014 US Senate Election.- Senators who have yet to make a decision whether or not to run again

ME(Collins-R)- Republican Favored if Collins-R runs again and survives the Republican primary. If Collins-R loses in the Republican primary or retires- seat is vulnerable to a Democratic Takeover.
MS(Cochran-R)- Republican Favored if Cochran-R runs again or retires- Tossup if Democrats nominate Jim Hood,MIke Moore,or Gene Taylor-D.
SD(Johnson-D)-Tossup-if Johnson-D runs again, Lean Republican Takeover if Johnson-D retires.- Democrats need to make sure Herseth Sandlin-D runs.
