republicans in the state today, their expectation was, let's count the votes, but that shaheen would eek out a victory tonight but scott brown in the final 72 hours put it into play. last week they didn't think it would be in play. >>> and quickly toelina in florida watching the governor's race over there. what is going on? >> we've just learned that charlie crist campaign has filed an emergency motion seeking to extend voting hours at one particular county in broward county, and with people still in line waiting to vote in broward count at three precincts. we don't know what will happen with that motion but they are requesting additional time for these voters. >> that would be amazing, if there is a problem with the voting in florida. a lot of us remember what happened in the year 2000. we'll stand by and hear if they get extra time for people in broward county, that is ft. lauderdale and others for extra time. and in the meantime, a key win, with mcconnell named the winner, we are just minutes away from the next poll closing in west virginia and north carolina. and the battle of the de
