Senate races are tightening around the country, and we’re back on their trail today to take a look at the races in two key states: Connecticut and Missouri. Jason Rosenbaum is a political reporter for the St. Louis Beacon, and Colin McEnroe is the host of "The Colin McEnroe Show" on WNPR, Connecticut Public Radio.
