Could you see a 50-50 Senate, where VP Biden has the tie breaking vote to keep the Senate majority for the Democrats?
They are only one scenario I see to this:
Democrats keep LA, NC, and add KY, while losing MI, AR, AK, MT, WV, SD. If you go to the website, www.270towin.com and look for Senate map 2014, you can play with the scenarios.

Dems holding on in CO, LA and NC only win just about do it. It is imperative that Landrieu crosses the 50 percent thresehold by the election.

Louisiana is the 50th seat for the Dems. 

Landrieu will hold-out in Louisiana before Nunn or Grimes win in Georgia or Kentucky, respectively.

I agree. Its easy to see the GOP picking-up the 6-7 seats they need, but Tea Party shenanigans allow the Dems to net one or two seats.

Its actually quite likely. In fact it's my current prediction.

Very plausible. Though the run-off makes it less likely than what it otherwise would be.

Hopefully, they won't be no runoff. Even if it is, Landrieu is much better than Cassidy.
