While the race for Arizona's 11 electoral votes will not be much of a contest between President Obama and former Governor Mitt Romney, there will be plenty of elections to keep an eye on. The Senate race between Democrat Richard Carmona and Republican Jeff Flake has seen millions of dollars flow into the state over the last couple of months. 

Television viewers have been bombarded with attack ads blasting from both sides. This race could potentially determine the balance of power in the Senate. If Carmona wins, he will be he first Democrat to win a senate race in the state since Dennis DeConcini in 1988. If Carmona emerges as the winner he will need to win over the state's independent voters and receive significant crossover support from Republicans.
