Brown vs. Leahy or Brown vs. Sanders? As much as I dislike Scott Brown, that would just be cruel. They'd have to invoke the mercy rule by noontime on Election Day.

Scotty had company. He was joined at the Loser's Bar by Ted Cruz protégé Marilinda Garcia, too, also in the Granite State. Last night turned out not to be Kuster's Last Stand.

The 2016 electoral map looks much better for Democrats. It's the opposite of 2014, and then some. It's when the "class of 2010" comes up for reelection. The GOTP will finally have a record that it will have to defend, and will not be able to just run on a set of nutty and unrealistic promises. It's also a Presidential election, which is traditionally when the participating electorate swells with members of the Democratic base. There's a decent chance that this Republican majority in the Senate will last for exactly one Congress.
