Nate Silver's Now Talking of Slight GOP Win in November 2014

I know Nate Silver has a pretty good track, but this far out, how can anyone know the mood, circumstances, or issues that will be effecting the November 2014 mid-term elections? I know the media has been cheerleading for the Republicans like they always do, but the GOP has done NOTHING and offered NOTHING for the America public.

We have medical marihuana on the ballot. I suspect that will have some effect.

Meaning that, the way the election goes in the fall is still very much up in the air.
