Immigrant Rights Protests Follow Obama on Campaign Trail; Senate Hangs in Balance 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Today is the last day of campaigning before Tuesday's midterm elections.
Control of the Senate hangs in the balance and could be decided in a
small number of states. In a final push for Democrats, President Obama
campaigned in Connecticut on Sunday for Gov. Dannel Malloy. Obama faced
his latest in a series of interruptions from audience members opposed to
his delay of executive action on immigration reform.

President Obama: "So, listen, here's the good thing about a democracy,
is everybody can speak. As I've said before, it's always ironic that the
folks who are shouting don't understand that we actually support their
issue. The folks who don't support the issue are the ones who are voting
against Dan Malloy. So they need to go to the other rally and focus on
them."

Thirty-six of the Senate's 100 seats are at stake on Tuesday. The states
with tight races that could decide Senate control include Arkansas,
Kentucky, Iowa, Louisiana, North Carolina, Colorado, Georgia and Kansas.
