the senate race in the lead of the races where people are spending so much money. barbara boxer $26.2 million, hoping to keep her seat. her challenger, carly fiorina, $17.8 million. does all of that make a difference? is it might. barbara boxer spent a little bit more and according to the poll completed over the weekend, see is up by four points and only four points. that's less than the polls we saw last week where she was up by a little bit more. we have less than 24 hours before the polls start to open. a lot of money being spent, but is it going to make a difference? that is will be up to the voters to decide. >> we will been by about this time on wednesday morning. >> the man accused of master mining the kidnap of elizabeth smart. more than eight years after she was kidnapped, brian david mitchell will go to trial. he kidnapped smart from her bedroom in salt lake city in early june of 2002. she is now 22 years old and expected to take the stand to testify against her accused kidnapper. >> closing arguments in the case of tom delay. he is accused of helping to illegally fina
