It's looking steady here on the evening shift as we wait for the polls to close in the Massachusetts special Senate election. 

We've lined up reporters from Boston and political strategists to parse out the final results. One theme on our radar if Republican Scott Brown wins: did the democrats lose it or does the credit go to Republicans for a well-organized, long-shot campaign. No matter who wins, we'll discuss what the outcome and the race mean for Obama's agenda.

Tomorrow it will be exactly one year since President Obama took office, so that's a second reason for us to take a look at the prospects of his ambitious do-it-all-at-once agenda. John Hockenberry is down in DC for the occasion lining up a few big interviews for the coming days and talking to political junkies for fun. We'll do some quick check-ins around the country on how different Americans view Obama's first year.

Now, none of that means we're taking our ears away from the phones to Haiti. That is still the global news focus and we we are getting steady streams of new information from reporters, aid workers and everyday folks that we reach in and around Port-au-Prince. We'll talk with two Haiti-based reporters about air drops of aid supplies and how that new plan is playing out. We also want to know what will happen to all the children, either orphaned or separated from their parents after the earthquake. Some children's advocates say evacuate them to somewhere safe; others say keep them close to what they know, where they might be reunited with family sooner. Either way, it is yet another human tragedy to comprehend and address, so we'll try to get the facts for you. 

We're also monitoring some interesting terrorism stories that on another day might make big headlines. We don't want you to miss out just because there are so many stories fighting for the front page. 

And book lovers, we have Elizabeth Gilbert, author of the best seller "Eat, Pray Love." She has a new memoir out, "Committed" about coming to terms with marriage.
