Midterm Elections 2010

In case you weren't following, this video provides a basic (and very rapid) overview of significant events influencing the upcoming election.



To understand the big picture of the upcoming congressional elections, it helps to look at maps showing several polls simultaneously, such as this one from CBS News or this one from the New York Times.

Check out the polls, especially in Wisconsin and the "toss up" states.  Next week we can see just how much the media and the electorate knew about the elections before voting ever took place.
