Unforeseen a year ago , Democrats' now have a real chance at taking the majority in the U.S. Senate. (Gamblers in some betting markets now see it as likely , even.) What are the potential paths for Democrats to take over the Senate — or for Republicans to block them and hold on? The current Senate has 53 Republican members.
