What bellweather races will you be looking at to help predict what kind of night it will be?

Tomorrow.

I have two races I will watch. They close relatively early:

KY6--If McGrath wins I think Dems will do extremely well in the House--40+ seats.
If she loses narrowly Dems still win house but not by as many seats.
If she loses big--there will be some bumps in the road--Dems still probably win House but very narrowly.

IN Senate--If Donnelly wins I think bigger than expected (say +5 points) it will be a good night for Dems and a chance that they might actually gain seats in the Senate.
If Donnelly narrowly wins--Dems may hold there own in the Senate.
If Donnelly loses--Dems probably lose ground in the Senate overall.

What races will you be watching tomorrow night?

FL - my state - Gillum & Nelson, Brussard for state Senate and Yost for FL House, Shaw - AG
GA - Abrams
Az - Sienema (sp?)
MO - Claire
TN - Bredesen
Heitkamp
WI - Evers
TX - Beto

but really all races to add up to taking back the House and praying for the Senate as well. That would be so freaking awesome, stop the fascist dead in their tracks where they can't even stuff the courts or let him hire a new AG.
