Obama to Voters: Beat 'Cocky' GOP
The Hill reports:
Staring down the prospect of big losses in both the House and Senate Tuesday, President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden made one last impassioned appeal to the party's base Sunday, warning supporters that if Democrats don't turn out in big numbers Tuesday, the progress of the last two years will be lost.
Obama repeated a line he has employed in just about every stump speech he has given over the past month, acknowledging that Democrats face an uphill battle Tuesday. "Cleveland, there is no doubt that this is a difficult election," Obama said.

"The Republican leader of the Senate said that his main goal over the next two years is to beat me in the next election," Obama told the crowd.
