Outside the Beltway

The death of the Tea Party is greatly exaggerated.

A number of factors unique to 2014 make it likely that control of the Senate could be up in the air for months after Election Day.

Republicans still have an advantage, but Democrats seem to be holding their own in the battle for Senate control.

So far at least, there is no evidence that 2014 will be a “wave election.”

The GOP has a good chance of taking the Senate in 2014, but it will be by a narrow margin.

Signs continue to suggest that a GOP Senate takeover is likely.

It’s a bit too early for Republicans to be celebrating that Senate majority that so many people are predicting.

Polling looks bleak for the GOP right now, but it’s unclear what that will mean a year from now.
