Remember in 2010 when any race for any office in the US was a referendum on Obama, or back in 2012 when we saw something similar because of the Presidential election?
How has this election cycle become so de-nationalized all of a sudden? At the start of the midterm season the media was insistent that it would be a good year for the GOP because of Obama's low approvals, and it still may be, but it's not that simple anymore.
Republicans incumbents in conservative states like Oklahoma, Georgia, Idaho and Kansas are fighting to keep their seats. Meanwhile, Democrats in certain blue states are fighting to seal the deal, like Coakley in Massachusetts (although with her it's a different story).
Just wondering everybody's thoughts on this interesting development...
