... they don't front extreme Republicans. There is just under a year until the 2014 Midterm Elections, and with that said, both the Republicans and the Democrats have dirt on them. Unfortunately for the Democrats, their "dirt" is much more obvious (i.e. the healthcare failure). Considering how big of a deal it is, the Democrats must find a solution to their problem before the primaries in 2014. The Republicans will surely retain power in the House, but the Senate disparity between Democrats and Republicans is small. Can the Democrats retain control of the Senate, or will the Republicans control Congress?
