Thaicom 6 is a given.CRS3 might get pushed back a bit.Orbcomm #1 will probably launch in 2014.Turkmensat -- SpaceX isn't going to let this one default to Ariane V.Asiasat 8 and Thaicom 7 -- unless something drastic happens, I don't see any reason these would get pushed to 2015CRS4 will definitely happen in 2014, CRS5 probably late in the year, and I think CRS6 will move to 2015.
They have to still do the pad abort and the in flight abort in 2014 as well.

Let's make the "12" option be "12 or more" and the "1" option be "1 or less" so all options are covered.
For instance, tigerade is also wrong to exclude the launch abort test from the list of launches, but he clearly lists that as a rule in his post rather than using an unspoken assumption. So what he's really polling is not "number of SpaceX launches in 2014", but rather "number of SpaceX launches in 2014 excluding the launch abort test".
Also SpaceX already has the largest production capacity of rockets in the world
