It's the final countdown to Election Day 2014, and in the final days of the campaign, polls show a number of key Senate races tightening. Republicans and Democrats are spending the last few days motivating voters to show up to the polls. Our political roundtable examines the competitive races that could determine control of the Senate; the contests where Democratic and Republican incumbents are facing tough reelection challenges; how public dissatisfaction with Washington gridlock may factor into the midterm elections; and how the elections next Tuesday set the stage for the final two years of Barack Obama’s presidency.
