GOP bullish with two weeks to go

The Hill reports:
Two weeks from Election Day, GOP hopes of capturing congressional control continue to rise.

"We are going to win the Senate. I feel very good about that," National Republican Senatorial Committee Executive Director Rob Collins said last week.


His optimism is well-founded: The GOP needs to net six seats to take the upper chamber, and positive polls in Colorado, Arkansas, Alaska and other battlegrounds have Republicans buoyant. House Republicans are also aiming for historic gains to pad their majority.

Meanwhile, Democrats privately fret that the battle for Congress may be slipping away as President Obama drags his party down.
The homestretch.
