georgia. >> reporter: out here in the backroads of georgia where democrats haven't won a statewide election in ten years, the race for the senate is neck and neck. >> no one's happy with the party in charge. they haven't done anything. so maybe a change might help. >> reporter: and that makes georgia one of the key races to watch. with a week to go, control of the senate is at stake. today, georgia, iowa, north carolina, where they spent more money than anywhere, and a half dozen other states are simply too close to call. republicans want it to be all about an unpopular president. this election is about what to you? >> it's about getting president obama out and getting a republican in. >> reporter: personal message to the president -- enjoy your last two years. the past six hasn't been good. >> reporter: democrats are trying to localize the senate races, accusing opponents of outsourcing jobs in georgia, failing on education in north carolina, and in iowa, where they could elect a woman for the very first time, ignoring women's rights. this is important. >> this is important, yeah.

races. georgia everybody agrees going to a runoff. we will not [indiscernible] >> new hampshire also closes at seven. jeanne shaheen is likely a winner. for the sake of our exercise let's assume democrats hold that. and let's assume that kay hagan holds it. the race has gotten closer and then kansas at 8 p.m., another one where let's push it to the republicans. democrats might win but let's push it that way. we get from 7:00 p.m., 7:30 p.m., and in 8:00 vm -- 8:00 p.m. we are starting at 8:30 p.m., republicans need six. the win -- they win, those seem pretty safe. we need three more. not all these may be projected. let's see the get colorado. the louisiana another one that is going over. even more so than georgia. and let's give them alaska at midnight eastern time. and they have one more than they need. they have two overtimes. and you have georgia. if we give the republicans beside the eastern ones, if we give them everything else in none of these going to overtime not because of a runoff but because there is a recount or questions about the alice thing, they are plus seven and the

the vote. president on the radio in georgia. michelle nunn, no one thought a democrat could be in contention in georgia late but guess what? she is. here's the president trying to help. >> that michelle nunn wins, that means that democrats keep control of the senate, and that means that we can keep on doing some good work. >> the question is, robert, does that help or does it hurt? can republicans say see, he's admitting that michelle nunn is a vote for obama? >> michelle nunn has run a good campaign for the democrats. the demographics in georgia are changing aenif african americans turn out strong, perdue has run a sloppy campaign near the end talking too much about outsourcing, almost like a mitt romney candidate. republicans were supposed to have a wave at this moment but it seems to be just a tie so the president strategically is going to some of the states where african-american turnout could be a big help and republicans are hurt not having a governoring agenda. where is the contract to america, the pledge to america, they're coasting hoping to ride a wave. i haven't seen th

candidate rob maness. none of them may achieve 50%. certainly maness won't. in georgia david perdue and michelle nunn are locked into head-to-head race with libertarian candidate elizabeth swafford. likely none of them may reach 50% either. look at this, date for runoff in louisiana is december 6th. but the date for the georgia runoff isn't until the 6th of january. that is three days after the 114th congress is supposed to be seated or at least the official date when they are supposed. we could get into aituation, november fifth after the general election, it could be tied up 49-49 or republicans might lead 50-48. in which case, according to larry sabato of university of virginia we will see a battle roil. >> if control of the senate depend on the outcome of races in louisiana and georgia there will be a bloodbath and it will be a very expensive bloodbath between the parties. >> reporter: the full firepower of the national parties, outside groups and billionaire-backed pacs will be brought to bear on louisiana and georgia. sabato said expenditures could top $100 million. while turn
