Then everything changed. On October 3, during the first presidential debate, Romney routed Obama in a startling and decisive manner. Against this backdrop, the climate within key Senate races also changed -- i.e. the declines in the fortunes of Republican candidates were halted, and the battle for Senate control again tightened. Initially, pundits and analysts of every stripe believed that Republicans held a significant advantage over Democrats. Democrats have to defend 21 seats while Republicans are exposed in just 10, and independents 2. Experts believed that control would be decided in fourteen states and at most in seventeen. Nevertheless, the predictions preceded both the Romney decline and the subsequent resurgence triggered by his debate performance. Thus, a reassessment seems warranted.
Republicans need three seats to gain a tie with Democrats and achieve Senate control only if Romney becomes our next president...since Paul Ryan, as vice president, would break tie votes. The importance of a four-seat gain is imperative to the Republicans' ability to counter Barack Obama should he be re-elected. Numerous stories in the MSM pushed the notion that Democrats will maintain control, and do it easily, without defining criteria for the conclusions posited; inevitably, the articles/reviews were quite subjective.
