Coleman will wrap this one up by 3AM cst. Here in sunny California, Simon and Davis are neck-and-neck at 46% each with 21% of votes counted. Turnout is reported to be "light" in Southern California, which is good for Simon if GOP turnout was fairly strong. Simon has a chance. It ain't over until it's over!
