Anger, advertising dominate U.S. mid-terms

A man arrives to vote in Las Vegas, Nevada, on October 16 as part of the state's two-week early voting period.
 
Barack Obama won the presidency two years ago by harnessing the hopes of his supporters, but now faces a debacle after a very different campaign fueled by anger, nasty advertising and an awful lot of cash. "Let's not fool ourselves," he said." This is a tough election. This country has gone through one of the most difficult periods of our history."
American voters go to the polls Tuesday to choose national lawmakers and state leaders, with two wars, high unemployment and record deficits on their minds.
