What 2014 Senate Races were winnable for the Democrats?

[Coolface Sock #42069]

Colorado: The state was obviously moving left and Udall’s campaign was terrible

Iowa: Braley almost went out of his way to look like the conservative stereotype of a coastal elitist Democrat who doesn’t understand or care about the rest of the country. Yeah, he lost by a lot, but Obama had Kurt carried the state two years prior, and most prognosticators early on thought Democrats were heavily favored. A better candidate and more effort here could have kept this seat blue. One thing that could have really helped would have been more visits from Obama himself.

North Carolina: it’s hard to say that a state that only was narrowly lost wasn’t winnable, even though Democrats went all out here.

Alaska: It doesn’t seem like Begich had much help from the national party here, and he still only lost by around 5%.

Second tier (probably not competitive but could have at least been more interesting): Montana Democrats really screwed up choosing plaigiarist John Walsh, kicking him off the ballot, and then replacing him with a radical socialist candidate, Amanda Curtis. An A-list nominee could have made this more interesting. Also, couldn’t South Dakota Dems have come up with a better candidate?

I disagree with OP about Louisiana; it was simply not winnable.
