2014/2016 US Senate Election.

Republicans need a net gain of 6 seats to regain control of the US Senate in 2014.
Republicans are targeting
AK- Begich-D, AR- Pryor-D, IA- OPEN-D, LA- Landrieu-D, NC- Hagan- D,SD- Johnson-D, and WV- OPEN-D,
Democrats will hold onto IA,NC,and AK.
Republicans pick up WV and SD.
Tossups are AR- Pryor-D vs Darr-R, LA- Landrieu-D vs Boustany-R. - both of these states are highly anti Obama but GOP challengers are mediocre.
2016- Republicans need to hold onto IL- Kirk-R,PA-Toomey-R, and WI- Johnson-R, make sure Republican incumbents McCain-AZ and Grassley-IA seek re-election. Go after Democratic held seats in CO-Bennet-D and NV- Reid-D.
Republicans chances of regaining control of the US Senate occurs in the 2018 cycle.
IN- Donnelly-D,MO- McCaskill-D,MT-Tester-D,and ND-Heitkamp-D. and hold onto AZ-Flake-R and NV-Heller-R.
