But major media will print and broadcast anything pro GOP and anti-Obama, what do you think all those ad
dollars truly buy?

Anyone think the ad dollar super spending spree is to convince voters? It is to convince the media that gets the dollars. That is why so many political ads are so insane, they do not have to be good, they are just laundering the money.

There are numerous paths that lead to a Democratic majority. A six seat pickup is quite a heavy lift in any political environment, and they haven't put any of the big races to bed, we may not know who controls the Senate until December.
