Early Outlook for November Elections

Each day brings us closer to the 2014 mid-term elections. Republicans hope they'll be able to take control of the U-S Senate this year.  Democrats are hoping to retain control of that body, and they'll likely have their eyes on unseating Mitch McConnell in Kentucky. There are also a number of gubernatorial races on the ballot, including the one in Ohio. Joining us to discuss the early outlook for the 2014 elections is University of Virginia Center for Politics Director of Communications Kyle Kondik. He also contributes to Sabato's Crystal Ball, a political analysis web site and newsletter.
