David Jolly
CNN projects that Republican David Jolly wins a special election in Florida's 13th Congressional District. Jolly, who defeated Democrat Alex Sink, will fill out the term of his former boss, Republican Rep. Bill Young. Young died in October.
Jolly's projected win would mean Democrats still need to capture 17 seats in November's midterms to regain control of the chamber.
The election is seen by some pundits as a bellwether for November's midterm elections, and there had been a massive infusion of outside ad money into the race to try to influence the outcome. Ref. CNN
The Republicans seem to be getting a tighter grip and it could mean something for the 2016 elections - goodbye Obama and the Dems.
