The voting is under way, but President Barack Obama is still working to turn out blacks for Democratic candidates.
He phoned in to a series of urban-format radio stations on Tuesday, interrupting music and chat with a pitch for the importance of the midterm vote.
He told listeners to KPWR radio in Los Angeles that even though his name isn't on the ballot, his agenda is. He said "across the board" things have improved on his watch -- but the question being decided is, "Can we keep that up?"
