Even if Orman wins, there is no guarantee that he would caucus with the Democrats. The jackass head of the RNC not withstanding. If it comes down to a 50-50 tie, then you can count on a bidding war over who gets Orman. Because that one Flaky guy has the power of the majority in his pocket. What wouldn't the Republicans give up to take control? What would the Democrats be willing to give to buy his loyalty for a short while? Because that loyalty would be all that was between you and the minority status.
So that leaves Arkansas, Georgia, Colorado, Kentucky, Louisiana, and South Dakota.
Guess which one of those we're even close to winning? My state of Georgia. I am hopeful, but doubtful.
Now, even with the polling coming out showing Nunn taking a small lead, the pressure for the Republicans to hold firm and win is astonishingly high.
The NY Times has it at a 62% probability that the Republicans will win the Senate. http://www.nytimes.com/newsgraphics/2014/senate-model/
So control of the Senate may well come down to Greg Orman in Kansas. If he sides with the Democrats, then a couple months goes by and the DNC doesn't deliver on what he wants, he calls the Republicans. They give him a chairmanship of a committee, they can do that no problem, and he jumps ship and the Republicans are now the Majority. Then he calls the Democrats and asks for them to hold a big fundraiser for him with all those hollywood stars. They agree, and he jumps back to the Democrats. The Republicans offer a fund raiser with the Koch brothers. Orman jumps back to the Republicans. I can see a lot of majority changes in the future with this idiot who has said that he would like to go with whoever is in the majority. Imagine his delight when he gets to decide the majority by simply changing the party he can caucus with.
Greg Orman scares me because anyone that self serving in the Senate can do a lot of damage.
