Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray predicted Thursday that her party would maintain control of the Senate in 2012, attributing that optimism to President Barack Obama’s position at the top of the ticket and her view that the “extreme” Republican-led House is sending independent voters fleeing from the GOP.
The Democrats are defending 23 seats to the Republicans’ nine and working with a Senate map that remains dramatically tilted toward the GOP.
