November is looking more and more unpromising for Democrats, enough to cause the White House to take notice. A little over two weeks ago, press secretary Robert Gibbs said “I think there’s no doubt there are enough seats in play that could cause Republicans to gain control. There’s no doubt about that.” Now, President Barack Obama is trying to stem the tide.
