This weekend, we look at the upcoming midterm elections -- and what might happen if Democrats take control of the House or Senate. What are the hot races? Who's watching for fraud? And if the Democrats do get a House majority, can they get it together to make a real difference? We talk to Robert Borosage of the Institute for America's Future and Page Gardner of Women's Voices Women Vote.

Plus, in Iraq, a prominent Baathist says the resistance is gearing up to hit the U.S. hard in January. Is the threat for real? We ask author and political analyst Robert Dreyfuss. And who's behind those obnoxious, robotic "push poll" phone calls that are just an excuse to tell us how we should vote? Mother Jones investigative fellow Daniel Schulman has the story.
