A Senate 'Supermajority'?

That was before an Obama candidacy that could draw in $150 million a month in small donations and attract endorsements from Republicans like retired general and former Secretary of State Colin Powell.

And it was before the financial panic of ’08.

This hour, On Point: From race to hot race, we’ll go to Senate races across the country — in North Carolina, New Hampshire, Minnesota, and Oregon, from Al Franken to “Liddy” Dole — to ask what’s coming on Capitol Hill.

You can join the conversation. Beyond the White House, what do you see coming for Congress, and the U.S. Senate, on November 4th? Share your thoughts.Guests:
