President Barack Obama on Saturday emphasized economic growth during his tenure while the Senate's Republican leader depicted events he says seem to be spinning out of the White House's control. The sparring heading into Tuesday's voting underscored the prominent role that Obama has taken in the midterm elections even though he is not on the ballot. While many Democratic candidates have sought to distance themselves from the president, Obama has been enlisted to mobilize core Democratic voters either through campaign rallies over the last week or less overtly through targeted radio ads, mail and Internet messages. An outpouring of early votes soared past 15 million ballots across 31 states on Friday, enough to give hopeful Republicans as well as nervous Democrats cause for optimism heading into the final weekend of a campaign with control of the Senate, a new House and 36 governorships at stake. Republicans pointed to a strong early vote performance in Iowa as evidence that Joni Ernst was a step ahead in her bid to capture a Senate seat for the GOP. Mail from Americans for Prosperity, a conservative group, is turning up in Arkansas, telling recipients their "voting record may be examined for completeness" after the election. Senate Democrats are leaning on a $10 million loan they took in early October to sustain their hopes of staying in the majority, and face the prospect of possible runoff elections in Louisiana in December and Georgia in January.
