1. Interesting ..got one question though.

What does the number at the end mean?..Like in the first line there is 37D at the end, ?

[NPolitics1979]

3. It is based on how many Democratic or Republican Senate Seats not up in 2016.

Assuming Menendez(D-NJ) resigns before the primary and Christie(R-NJ) appoints a Republican Placeholder. 35Democratic US Senate Seats not up in 2016 and 30Republican US Senate Seats not up in 2016.
Democrats are likely to hold onto CA,CT,HI,MD,NY,OR,VT,and WA- 43D
Democrats are likely to pick up FL,IL,NJ,and WI- 47D
The must win seats Democratic seats are
CO- Bennet-D defeats a top tier GOP challenger. 48D
NV- Cortez Masto-D has to convince NV Independent voters to keep Sandoval-R in the Governors mansion by reminding them how extreme the LT Governor is. 49D
If The Democrats win the Presidential Election they need to help Sestak(D-PA) get elected. 50D
The 51 or 52 seats are OH- Strickland-D and NH- if Hassan-D runs.
The uphill battle seats are
AZ-Kirkpatrick-D
IN-Hill-D

2. Debbie Wasserman Schultz should be monitored by these last five standards. She's one of

the Schumer gang who claim to know how to win. I hope DU keeps an eye on how much she impacts the gain or loss of seats.

I was happy with her for the first five minutes she had the job, now I wish she were replaced by Howard Dean.
