Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) (J. Scott Applewhite/Associated Press)
Republicans, albeit somewhat early, are increasingly confident about
their 2014 prospects. This is not unreasonable given 10 factors:
1. In the House, Democratic retirements have given the GOP openings
in North Carolina’s 7th, Utah’s 4th, New York’s 21st and Maine’s 2nd
districts. By contrast in the Virginia 10th, where Frank Wolf is
retiring, state Del.
Barbara Comstock (R-Fairfax) is
off to a strong start and has cleared the field of far-right opponents,
allowing her to run a center-right campaign that won’t put off
independents and Democrats.
2. Progress on immigration and the passage of a budget will help the
GOP defuse the Democrats’ accusations they are intransigent and
anti-immigrant.
