Some big races to watch in virginia, maryland and the district. And there is a scramble for power in the senate. When you look at the statebystate polls, republicans may have the advantage to win control of the senate. According to the latest nbc marist poll, most voters focused on the poll, domestic issues, not ebola and isis. Around our region a closely watched congressional race in the 10th district down in virginia. A mayors race in the district and a governors seat up for grabs in maryland. We have Team Coverage for you. This is chris gordon. Does it seem like your phone has been running off the hook . Campaigns for both governors for maryland are trying to turn out the vote.

Lets talk about those big races that could potentially change the senate. All eyes are going to be where tomorrow . Its sort of depends what time of night. Early on, my checks are New Hampshire and north carolina. North carolina polls close at 7 authori7. If either of those go republican, then were not talking about if they get the senate but how big their majority is going to be. If democrats hold serve there, then its a long slog. This pass to six seats for the republican becomes some combination of what happens in other states. Louisiana and georgia. If nobody gets 50 then you have runoff. If republicans win one of those two on the east coast, its a quick night and we know its sort of happening. If democrats hold serve it could be days, weeks, maybe even months.

They were watching incumbents starting to have problems up and down the ballot. This feels as if its Barbara Comstocks to lose. I think romney narrowly carried it even though obama carried the state and virginia. Its razor thin. Very close. I have to give the edge to comstock, but well see. In marylands governor race, squeaker at this point. I have to tell you, whats interesting here, what were seeing in maryland is happening in governors races across the country. An antistatus quo or incumbent fever out there. So incumbent administrations, even if they arent the incumbent candidate. So Anthony Brown has been running.
