With less than three weeks left until the midterm elections, which will determine which party has the majority in the Senate and the House of Representatives, national polls generally point to an advantage for the Democratic Party. There is even talk of a “blue wave,” namely a sweeping victory for the Dems. But will these projections translate into election results? A reason for skepticism is the Republican Party's counteroffensive backed by its vast financial resources.

1. Summary
When Republican Party has seemingly unlimited resources to buy ads that bring candidates and their ideas into voters’ living rooms, it’s hard not to feel skeptical about the supposed blue wave.
2. How is this related to the sub
(1) U.S. midterm: Unlike American observers, this author is skeptical whether there will be “blue wave” because of the sheer gap in financial resources in the ruling party and the opposition.
3. My opinion
There is a growing skepticism whether there will be blue wave when the ruling party has unlimited resources while ad-based marketing dominates elections because of distance challenge and low population density in the U.S.
