Val Demings seemed like she might make a contest out of it, but not so much. Assuming she and Charlie Crist get crushed tonight, as the polls suggest they will, then Florida is officially a red state.
Our map shows that Nevada and Pennsylvania have flipped, canceling each other out. But Georgia is a tie. It is very likely to go to a runoff on Dec. 6 which will determine control of the Senate. Can you imagine $1 billion spent on a single election? We can.
On the other hand, if veteran Nevada political reporter Jon Ralston has it right and Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) holds serve, then the Senate score when today's votes (and the absentee ballots) are counted would be 50D, 49R. This will greatly reduce spending in the Georgia runoff since it won't really matter. (Z)
