over jack conway the state attorney general. >> we saw jack conway losing steam toward the end of hisampaign and ran paul pulling away here, gwen. remember what this means now. this was the only potential opportunity come the end of this campaign where the democrats were playing offense, where they were trying to pick up a republican state. this is now off the bat. for the rest of the evening all you have to look at are these democratic held seats that republicans are going to be trying to pick up. this was it. this was their only hope to pick up a republican seat on the democratic side. >> remember this is a race where democrats said aha the tea party won a republican primary we have a weaker republican nominee. we're going to beat him. we're going to show that the tea party is going to be a liability for a republicans. it may well be sometime later this evening but not in this race. >> ifill: even mitch mcconnell the other senator from kentucky early on. >> he supported the rand paul's primary opponent the siting secretary of state. the republican establishment folks weren't excited

us and that's when i was arrested and then shortly after that my cameraman was also arrested john conway so you know we were we were doing our job we were being journalists we were not trespassing we were not violating any sort of line anyway we were not demonstrators were not at. we were there covering the event as press and we had our press credentials and yet we were thrown in the same category as the activists legally and obviously arrest wise as well i mean there were hundreds of people there so how is it that you and john conway and about two dozen other people were the ones that then became targeted and got arrested somehow block you off. you'd have to ask the police exactly how we were targeted of course but there were actually you know well over three thousand people there and they chose to sort of arrest as i think because you know in some ways they watch this film other people getting arrested they've been servicing people and so people are walking to their cars so you had a lot of the women that you're seeing here they were walking to their cars on the sidewalk as they had be

that add for democrat jack conway was the nail in his coffin. he was already slipping away. >> ifill: we have to say a final... put a final nail in the coffin of the delaware senate race which got a lot of attention year partly because of the woman who lost tonight by what looks like it is going to be a large number which is christine o'donnell. she lost to chris coons. we saw joe biden trying to make sure that his seat stayed in democratic hands. >> in kentucky it didn't matter with the tea party nominee candidate was a republican nominee. in delaware it mattered. mike castle the republican congressman moderate to liberal republican congressman i believe would have won this state. and christine o'donnell has lost it. there's a case where the... they won the battle and they lost the war the tea party. >> ifill: we're waiting on one other big party candidate in south carolina nicky haley who of course got her campaign got saved when she was endorsed by sarah palin. we haven't heard yet what's going on there. it's tight. >> 32% of precincts report

i was in kentucky could having the rand paul jack conway race.ll i saw was hill ads link him to nancy pelosi. >> these are three different races. the donley seat is in the northern part of the state. it an obam district. he won it by a few percentage points. the next one was never regarded as one of the star recruits for the republicans. donley went out of his way very early to run tv ads distancing himself both from speaker pelosi and from the president. it was thought that that would be enough to protect him. but over the past few weeks it's started to look again as though he's vulnerable. this was the case of a guy who seemed to be able to resist the way. now there's some question about that. >> ifill: any of the others? >> i look at all threeof these in one category. they were majority maker seats for the democrats. i remember ads in these districts in 2006 trying to use nancy pelosi. she would be speaker. trying to use her then. that did not work. you're right. nancy pelosi has been on the republican ads in these districts throughout this el
