Some Democrats have become impatient with the president's reforms, unwilling to wait for them to take hold, unappreciative of his incredible accomplishments (including health care, Wall Street and fuel efficiency standards reforms, equal pay for women, saving the auto industry and its jobs, extending unemployment benefits, stopping the ban on stem cell research) despite continuous obstruction by Republicans in Congress. Their disloyalty and shortsightedness are egregious. They're disregarding what they have in the president they so enthusiastically elected. The midterms are a referendum on Barack Obama.
Some Democrats and independents, listless and hopeless, plan to skip the midterms; Republicans always turn out in mass.
The electorate at large, weary of a hostile economy, the continuing greed of Wall Street and the national banks, in some cases, of their own joblessness, are determined to oust any incumbents and reject candidates with familiar names.
Connecticut is in peril of electing Republican Linda McMahon (a $50 million campaign) former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, an abhorrent industry that causes injury and even death, to the U.S. Senate, rather than 20-year veteran State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, well-known for battling Big Tobacco, Big Insurance, Big Energy and Oil.
Other Republican candidates, particularly those allied with the splintering Tea Party movement, derived from the Religious Right, are alarmingly mendacious, irrational and inhumane.
Electing a Republican majority to Congress means frenetic crusades to repeal Obama's laws, privatize Social Security and Medicare and further assault the environment. The Supreme Court 5 to 4 decision allowing corporations limitless financing of political campaigns ensures, lacking sufficient Democratic votes, a policy of survival of the fittest---perpetuating contempt for the unfortunate; total corporate rule and domination by the 2% economic elite, a rule likely producing yet another war.
