Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) on Tuesday said there is still a chance that Republicans will fail to take the Senate even though they are favored to win the majority in the 2014 elections.

“You know, I’m not particularly good at that but everything I read says — there are people who do that and do that pretty much for a living — and they’re all saying now somewhere between 60 percent and 65 percent,” Blunt said on KTRS Radio’s “The McGraw Show” when asked about the the GOP’s chances.

“But if anybody can mess this up my side has the total capacity to here at the last minute to figure out how to turn 65 percent into 25 percent,” he added.

Blunt said that Republicans have fallen short of taking the Senate multiple times when they were expected to win.

“We proven a couple times in a row that we can do that,” he said.
