Can the Democrats take sixty seats in the Senate?
In a briefing with the chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) spoke of the funding from special interest groups for Republican senatorial races. Over $16.3 million has been spent on attack ads against Democrats in strategic swing states such as New Hampshire, Minnesota, and Colorado by the Chamber of Commerce and its affiliates. Schumer pointed out that “the good news is that it’s not working” with the polls showing overwhelming support for Democratic candidates in Virginia, New Mexico, Colorado, Alaska, and New Hampshire. Schumer believes that “the message of economic change is succeeding everywhere” and the Democrats are the ones expected to bring this change.
