The 2014 Midterm Elections begin with the Texas primary on March 4, and continue with a primary or a "runoff" nearly every week somewhere in the United States until Tuesday, September 9th.[1] Soon thereafter early voting begins in some areas, culminating in the general election day on Tuesday, November 4th.

Successful political forecaster Nate Silver says Senate Republicans are now slight favorites to win at least six seats and capture the chamber. [2]
