in. the polling conversation has people talking. >> i really wasn't planning on this. >> i am sorry. >> there's an example. this is embarrassing. >> embarrassing. >> now the couple is talking to ms nbc. all in chris hayes about what was going through their heads. >> as i walked to my booth, i saw her there frantically trying not to panic and i had to say something. >> why? why would do you this? i was just nervous, super nervous him i couldn't believe and another part of me was like shut up, tail tackle you. >> well, a come to jesus moment for disgraced congressman anthony weiner, he said, i mean, realistically, my political career is probably over. as she promised, senator kay

hagan did not show up. so tom tillis sat next to an empty chair for an hour. that reminded us of another political moment featuring an empty chair. this from chris christie who told reporters quote i am tired of hearing about the minimum wage then from the journal sentinel in milwaukee, a co-chair reportedly told a republican field office on monday she didn't know why the election was so close. saying, quote, i don't want to say something about your wisconsin voters, but some may not be as sharp as a knife. republican senator played part of the comic precipice when asked about the polls. >> there are people that do that and do that pretty much for a living. they're somewhere between 60 and 65%. if anybody can mess this up, my side has the total capacity how to turn 65% if 25%.

>> he sounds pretty confident in that, too. right now i am joined by politico reporter lee munsel. >> good morning. >> voter turnout is expected to be very low. what is it going to take to get people to the polls. >> well, it's not surprising turnout would be low in a mid-term election. this time around the white house is making a get out the vote push. not the same as the initial obama campaign i get out and vote push but a smaller scale version of that. so they've reported a bunch of different calls and those things to get voters, especially democrats, who at this point have a couple of races, that they will need a lot better turnout to actually win or tip the scales in their favor. so democrats are pushing particularly and the white house is pushing to get more voters out to the polls.

>> just a second, it appears jeb bush might have a tax problem. the former governor said he can support tax increases. now, this is piting him against republican party leaders him could this hurt his possible run for president if. >> well, certainly, even kind of the appearance of being opened to raising taxes is a difficult thing for republicans to get behind and then have that work for them politically. that's not to say that it could potentially kill his chances at 2016, but that kind of combined with middle of the road stances on immigration and education may kind of build this perspective of him as not as conservative as he may need to be to get the nom nations. so, certainly, that's a concern. all rotto, he has raised or lowered taxes consistently, sorry, in his time as governor, so he doesn't necessarily, he's not necessarily for more taxes

but even being opened to that in a hypothetical situation causes problems. >> if you want to look back if history, isn't this the very thing that helped bring down bush's father, george wind chill hchl bush who fol lead no new taxes pledge? >> yeah, absolutely. this is a big part of kind of his father's legacy. so that was groveer norquist who fashioned this no new taxes pledge points out in a story on politico that you know if this is something that had hurt my father's political contrary, i would remember that when i was running for office, piefl. that was grover norquist said. >> thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate i. fans of the avengeers apt new sneak peek. you better stick around. barbara walters doing something she said she would never do again. imple? thanks to angie's list, now it is.
