Based on frequent polling, voters are waiting for the right (as in politically) leaders to pull this country up from the pits. With 2014 looming, and looking bad for Democrats, Republicans are liking their chances, waiting to carve out a strong majority in the US Senate and maintain (if not augment) their numbers in the House of Representatives. Of the twenty-plus seats which Democrats must defend in 2014 in the US Senate, at least six are vulnerable, with Democrats representing Republican states. In states like Louisiana to North Carolina, Democratic US Senators must win reelection in states where strong Republican supermajorities have become supermajorities.
