The Philadelphia Inquirer is taking a nationwide look at the race for Congress and reports that Missouri's U.S. Senate race will be the bellwether for the night.
Jonathan Last on the U.S. Senate races:
"Democrats still have good chances in Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island, but they look shaky in Maryland, New Jersey and Michigan, three states where the GOP has legitimate shots to gain seats. For a bellwether, watch the Missouri race, in which incumbent Republican Jim Talent has a slender lead over Democrat Claire McCaskill. Talent won in a 2002 special election by just 21,000 votes. Missouri is a swing state. Both candidates are solid. As goes Talent, so go the Republicans."
