Jeff Zeleny: “The Republican midterm election march has one more act, with the Louisiana Senate runoff on Saturday. To say that Democrats have thrown in the towel would be an understatement. The Iraqi Army fled Mosul slower than Democrats abandoned Mary Landrieu in the wake of the November thumping in Senate races across the country. If Bill Cassidy wins this weekend, Republicans will hold a 54-seat majority in the Senate, which is more muscular than Mitch McConnell had dreamed only months ago. It’s not the 60 votes needed to fully run the table, but there are six moderate and independents to help reach that threshold on some popular red-state issues.”
Meanwhile, David Wasserman attempts to quantify the most and least impressive campaigns of 2014.
