WASHINGTON (AP) – The Republican wish list become reality on their march to Senate control:
-Win seats being vacated by retiring Democrats in West Virginia, Montana, South Dakota: Check.
-Defeat vulnerable Democratic incumbents in states such as Arkansas, Colorado, North Carolina: Check.
-Protect Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts from an independent challenge that could have tipped the Senate balance: Check.
-See Scott Brown defeat Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen in New Hampshire. Well, you can’t have everything.
