According to exit polls, and the results that have been tabulated so far, CNN is projecting Republican Mike Lee to win the U.S. Senate seat in the state of Utah.  </p>
<p>Out of the 15% of the results that have thus far been reported for the Utah Senate election, here are the statistics:</p>
<p>- Republican Mike Lee &#8211; <strong>50% of the Votes</strong> with 44,520 votes Leads.<br />
- Democrat Sam Granato &#8211; <strong>46% of the Votes </strong>with 41,169 votes is in second.</p>
<p>Lee is looking to take over for the incumbent Bob Bennett who was defeated at the Republican State convention in May.  As of now, it looks as though the 39-year-old Lee will win the seat.</p>

The race has been pretty tight all along, but the latest polls show that Fiorina is slowly catching up to Boxer.</p>
<p>Fiorina hit the campaign trail again yesterday, after being treated for an infection in the hospital the previous couple days.  The latest poll released by Rasmussen shows that Barbara Boxer is leading with 49% of those polled favoring her.  However, Fiorina is only trailing by 3 percentage points, with 46% looking to vote for her.  Of the people polled, 2% preferred another candidate and 3% were unsure of who they would be voting for.</p>
<p>Democrat Barbara Boxer has held the California Senate seat since 1993, even though she had considered retirement in the past.  She had planned on retiring when her term was up in 2004, but ended up changing her mind to &#8220;fight for the right to dissent&#8221; against conservatives.  </p>
<p>Republican Carly Fiorina will try and be the new face in the Senate by taking Boxer&#8217;s seat.  She doesn&#8217;t have any notable political experience in the past, but she is a former businesswoman. She was CEO of Hewlett Packard, and thought by many to be one of the most powerful woman in business at the time (from 1999-2005).  </p>
<p>Can Fiorina close the gap a little bit more to defeat Barbara Boxer, or will Boxer hold onto her seat she has held for 17 years?  Find out on November 2.</p>

However, Carly Fiorina looks to stand in her way.  Fiorina appears to be making up ground, even though her campaign has been slightly hindered due to an infection she has come down with.  </p>
<p>Fiorina was sent to the hospital a few days ago, due to an infection that stems from reconstructive surgery that she had after a bout with breast cancer last year.  Fiorina gets back on the campaign trail today.  According to the latest election polls, she is only 5 percentage points behind incumbent Barbara Boxer.</p>
<p>The latest polls by CNN took a sample size of 888 likely voters and asked them who they would more likely vote for.  50% said they would vote for Barbara Boxer, while 45% said they would choose Carly Fiorina.  </p>
<p>If Fiorina can pull out the upset, she would be the first republican candidate to win a California Senate election since 1988.  Will the 56-year-old ex CEO of Hewlett-Packard pull it out?</p>

The two candidates for the senate seat look to expose each others&#8217; weaknesses in their final debate before the 2010 general elections.  </p>
<p>Vitter who has been attacked by the Melancon&#8217;s campaign for soliciting prostitution in the past, seems to be winning in the latest polls.  The reason?  Perhaps because Louisiana appears to be the state that least favors Barack Obama.  Vitter has frequently suggested that Charlie Melancon sides with Obama on most issues.  Louisiana residence only voted 40% in favor of Obama during the presidential election.</p>
<p>Tonight&#8217;s debate may be a heated one between the incumbent Vitter, and the Representative for Louisiana&#8217;s 4rd congressional district, Melancon.  Both candidates have prior political backgrounds, and a decent education.  The 63-year-old Melancon has been extremely active in the 2010 BP oil spill recovery efforts, which wins him a lot of respect from Louisiana residence. </p>
<p>Can Melancon make up ground on David Vitter tonight, or will Vitter expand his lead even further?</p>

Polls have been showing Fiorina trailing Boxer for the majority of their campaign time.  However, Fiorina has closed the gap within the last 2 months, and the election on November 2 appears as though it will be a close one.</p>
<p>The latest 2 polls that were released on October 27 show that Boxer is leading Fiorina by a larger gap then the previous few polls showed.  The Suffolk University and PPP polls both show Boxer with 52% of the votes and Carly Fiorina with 43%.  </p>
<p>Both women have strong support from their parties, and the winner will most likely be determined by how many voters from each party show up to the polls on November 2.  </p>
<p>The 69-year-old Barbara Boxer has held the the Senate seat for multiple terms, and has a long political background.  Boxer has strong opinions on many topics, including supporting Obama&#8217;s Health Care Reform agenda, and she was a key proponent in forming an exit strategy from Iraq.  </p>
<p>Carly Fiorina, has a lot less political experience when compared to Boxer, but she has helped run several large corporations.  She was the CEO of Hewlett-Packard for 6 years, and has an MBA in marketing for business administration from Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland.</p>
<p>When the election results come in this November, it is hard to tell who the new Senator in California will be, but the winner is sure to have a lot of supporters.</p>
