Taking The Temperature Of The 2014 Midterm Elections (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Nine weeks from today, midterm elections across the country.  At stake, control of the US Senate, and a whole lot more.  A Republican takeover of the Senate would mean the GOP would rule Capitol Hill, both houses.  Even rougher sledding for Barack Obama, and a Republican leg up for 2016.  We’ve got war and peace on the table – Ukraine and ISIS.  Minimum wage.  Marijuana.  A lot of governors’ mansions.  And right down local too.  Just ask Ferguson, Missouri if that matters.  This hour On Point:  key races, core stakes, and what’s coming in the midterm elections. / Tom Ashbrook
