good morning everyone. i'm tamron hall. this is "newsnation." the headlines today perhaps say it all. from the washington post a flurry of campaigning across the nation as election day nears. also, from the post the senate will go republican. and from politico final poll show it's the gop's to lose. those are so. headlines that caught our eye this morning. among the poll our nbc news poll in kentucky shows senate minority leader mcconnell surged ahead of allison lund gun grimes

by 9%. but a sliver of hope for democrats in the senate race in georgia. our poll shows republican david perdue leading michelle nunn by four points. that's in the margin of error as they seek to get out the african-american vote in the senate. and speaking of kansas it was an emotional situation yesterday as republican icon and former presidential bob dole turned out to campaign despite being 91 and frail. he held court for more than an hour there. still hitting the campaign trail today michelle obama attends a get out the vote rally this

afternoon for maryland democratic candidate for governor and bill clinton campaigns in florida. president obama made his last campaign appearance yesterday for the candidate for governor of connecticut and pennsylvania and could this be the key for the gop? the headline in the hill newspaper. quote, republicans get what they want of midterm election about obama. joining me now live is the assistant democratic leader in the house congressman james clyburn of south carolina. thank you for your time. >> thank you so much for having me. >> we should point out that your seat certainly considered safe here. i want to start off with the final push from republicans in the house. they have the drive called drive to 245. the effort to increase the majority in the house. so much of this as you saw draft last headline is about president obama. what do you siee the story line as? >> i think that's correct. they have successfully made this

campaign a referendum on president obama of which i did not believe would be all that important if we as democrats had done a better job on messaging exactly what the president has done. i think the president has a great record that was deserving of all of us running on in many states. if you look at something as simple as affordable care act, that was a big one. the affordable care act was nothing more than outlawing discrimination against people once they get sick. and we had too many people in this country who were contacting diseases only to get kicked their insurance policies once they start third treatment. children being born with a preexisting condition, juvenile diabetes. we're saying you cannot do that.

these are the kinds of things i thought we should have run on and develop a much better -- >> why didn't that happen? congressman, why didn't that happen? z>> well, i don't know. there are those of us that live in the south, as i do, who understa understand. but there are so many people afraid of being too closely identified with president obama. one of the reasons is there was this demonzation of his programs, programs like the affordable care act, like making college education more affordable. when they got people to focus on how much these things were costing rather than how much they were saving. >> when you talk about the southern landscape, though, i want to play what senator mary

landrieu said regarding what i think you were alluding to about the south and some of the perceptions of the president. >> to be honest with you the south hasn't always been the friendliest place for african-americans. it's been a difficult time for the president to present himself in a very positive light as a leader. >> obviously those comments seen as very controversial. we know there's a big push to get african-american voters out in georgia. there's also push in the gubernatorial race involving charlie crist there. looking a the messaging here. our first read team points out october 10th unemployment rate 9.5. the dow was above. 11,000. fast forward to now unemployment rate 5 pn.9%. the dow above 17,000. the gop holds a 9-point advantage on the economy, however the unemployment rate and how wall street is doing is two messages in addition to the health care now available to millions of people that the democrats just could not get

behind. our first read team basically says the gop said obama stinks. that's the quote there and the democrats never countered that. >> that's correct. that's exactly what i'm saying. i'm saying that the fact of the matter is we have a good record to run on. let me say about mary landrieu. mary landrieu is from louisiana. she snows the history of louisiana like i know the history of south carolina. the fact of the matter is, she reads some of the mail i get. and i read some of the mail i get. for anybody to say there's nothing that is nothing racial about some of the stuff being expressed by president obama you're not telling the truth. we know with a lot of people, i don't care what he does. he's not going to be acceptable because of his skin color. having said that, i do believe that those of us who are

sophisticated in this process have got to do a better job of nuancing these things in a way that we can benefit from them. because i think that when you talk about expanding medicare in south carolina 59% of the people on medicare are children. 7% are senior citizens. 13% are disabled. and we should be focus on those children. those disabled, those senior citizens and majority of the children, a majority of the senior citizens, a majority of the disabled will benefit from medicare are white people. these are not black people. so i'm just saying that we have got to start focus on that and develop a message that will make people come face to face with the reality of their condition and that is what we have a little bit of afraid of. and i think that's a fear that we just got to get over.

we have to get over it. none of us can successfully change our skin color nor can we change our gender. there are gender biases existing in this country. we have to work through those things. those that are democrats that have a history of being fair on civil rights and those kinds of activities we've got to stick with that agenda and work through it and don't be ashamed or afraid of it. >> congressman clyburn, thank you so much for your time. we appreciate it, sir. let me bring in our politico panel and talk about this. former governor of pennsylvania who is now an msnbc panel list. mark murray and editor at large joan walsh. congressman, we'll pick up on what clyburn had tto say on thee of race. some is absolutely valid.

if you look at the race with jane shaheen and scott brown where he attempted to make her the person that is team obama and strapped that around her neck, you can't say that southern politics or southern cultural mind set. >> no, of course not. i think the point that congressman clyburn made is a good point. we tend not to fight back on that. we tend not say, look, i don't know who the president -- let's talk about some of the problem that has been made. let's talk about the people who are covered with health care before president obama got here. let's talk about what the economy looked like when he was sworn in in 2009. and when it looks like today. let's talk about the auto bail out. let's talk about the financial bailout that saved wall street and maybe the economy of this country. let's talk about the things he's done that reduced the cost of student loans. so many good things that the president has done we tend to shy away from. we tend not to want to engage.

i think we should say, look, i don't agree with everything the president said but boom, boom, boom, these are the good things that have happened. and we're proud of the good things. i'm proud to have been a part of them. when allison lundergan grimes wouldn't say who he voted for. her poll numbers started to tank. >> if i had a dollar for every democrat who has been on the show, who said here is the message. why can't democrats say what the governor said? i would have enough cash to probably run for office. i can't tell you how many people have said exactly what the governor said what congressman clyburn. never the less, democrats drop the ball in the last 20 hours before polls open. >> i'm going to be another liberal sitting here. i can't give you money with this advice but i'm going agree with these two fine men. it is really political malpractice. the democrats haven't been able

to put out the message about what has been done under president obama. i don't think the president's been terrific either about putting out the message. if you're going accept it's perfectly okay for republicans to trash the president, to go to red state democrats in particular and tar them with an association with the president to play on that racial an mouse. i'm not saying it's the only thing or the most important thing. it's there. if it's okay for republicans to do that, democrats have been very cowardly somewhat understandably not entirely about saying yes, we voted nor man. we support this man. he's not perfect. this is what we have left to do. look how much we've done. they're having one hand tied behind their back because of their fear and inability to message correctly about what has been great about president obama. >> with that said, mark, you pointed out said gop holds this edge but it's not a wave. put that in perspective with all of the dire and dour news at

least coming from democrats. you and the team put the numbers together showing it's not potential lay way. >> if you look at the races state by state as you did at the top of the show. it's looking like a good republican night. they have a path to pick up six if not more senate seats. you look at the national nbc wall street journal poll it's a one-point race. still a one point race. all the momentum seems to be on the democratic side on the one hand you see how this is going to be probably a good republican night but there's a chance it's not going to be a great republican night. the republican's chance of big success like kicking a field goal when they need a 28 yard field goal. we've seen it blocked and missed too. i'm saying it's going to be a fun, fascinating unpredictable night. >> >> absolutely. as the team points out. all the numbers suggest something is going on here that

should give us pause. what is it? >> the best number -- the best number in that poll was the are you likely to vote. republicans 58%. democrats 57%. in 2010 the republicans had a ten point vac on the question. democrats have gotten more and more excited and afraid whatever it is motivating them. they're now as equally motivated with republicans. if that's the case you'll see big democratic wins winning in illinois, florida, maine, and pennsylvania. maybe winning in wisconsin. if that number is correct in the polling with it may not be such a bad night for democrats. >> it may not be the case. what we also know, joan, there's a lot of postmortem going on already even before the polls that closed. i want to play the moment the president yesterday when the group of dreamers heckled the president. let's play that.

i guess we don't have. they were protesting the lack of immigration reform. we've seen a a template what the president plans to do if the senate falls into the control of republicans on some of the agenda that he wants to move forward including immigration reform and going back to the post mortem. you have dreamers heckling the president. >> the republicans are narrow casting their message to white voters and democrats are trying to reach african-american, crucial latinos as well as white vote perhaps the president did punt on deferr ered deportation. it was clearly a mill move and taking those red state democrats. they still care about white voters. in the long run the fact that the democrat res lie on a broad base of the country is great for democrats. in the short run it's easier for

republicans to narrow cast to white voters. they reliably vote, they turn out. i want to end on a positive note. the governor is right. that number of likely voters there was a big gulp between republicans and democrats. for whatever reason democrats are catching up. if the numbers line upside by side tomorrow night or the democrats cross they have a better night than we're sitting here rededucting. >> it's a positive note. i have to bring it back to reality. tonight, mark, democrats what will keep them up. >> what's going to keep democrats up? seeing republicans basically getting 8 to 10 races that we're talking so many margin of error races. in the past they seemed to break in one way or the other. democrats are praying it goes 50/50. they win half of the close races. they're worried that all the close races go to the republicans. again, the big take away all the state polls, the national poles these are margin of error. we need to see how they break.

>> governor, looking at the races within the margin of error. what do you compare it to. is there anything that comes to mind that has been this tense and close? >> well, nothing i've ever seen in this midterm election. but somewhat akin to the 2012 election. as we went into 2012 there were tons of states that were within the margin of error. that night they all broke for president obama except north carolina. so that's the closest thing that i can remember to this where you had eight or nine states where the outcome was in doubt. >> right. getting a nod from mark murray. it's a pleasure to have you on. mark, we'll see you tomorrow. developing now -- i guess we're not following that. more fall out from outgoing iowa senator harkin's comments comparing republican onany ernst

to taylor swift in the race that could control the senate. why ernst is saying this today. i don't think anybody watching this program would want us to abandon it in this stage. >> sir richard branson give his first life interview as officials reveal a break in the virgin space crash. brittany maynard, the terminally ill woman who became the face of the death with dignity movement ends her life. up next her final message to her supporters and where this debate is going now. join our conversation online. you can find my team @news nation. you can find me on facebook, twitter and instagram under my maim. you know, check my policy , add a car, ah speak to customer service, check on a claim...you know, all with the ah, tap of my geico app. oh, that's so cool. well, i would disagree with you but, ah, that would make me a liar. no dude, you're on the jumbotron! whoa.

became the face of the right to die movement. the 29-year-old ended her life on her own term at her home in portland on saturday surrounded by family and friends. the advocacy group dying with dignity and compassion confirmed this last night. she made the decision months ago after being diagnosed with incurable brain cancer. her public story touched the hearts of millions of americans. >> brittany maynard fad her final fastbook post on saturday writing goodbye to all my dear friends and family they love. today is the day i have choice ton away with dignity in the face of my terminal illness. the terrible brain cancer has taken so much from me but would have taken so much more. the story of the 29-year-old diagnosed with terminal brain cancer made headlines when he moved to oregon to take advantage of that state's death with dignity act. a video explaining her addition went viral with nearly 10

million views. >> i don't have to die the way that it's been described to me that my brain due tumor would take me. >> just last week a new video alluding to a possible delay. >> if november 2nd comes along and i'm still alive, i know that we'll just be moving forward as a family, like, out of love for each other and that this decision will come later. >> overnight a statement from an end of life choice organization associated with maynard read in part she chose to apeevuate the dying process by taking the aid and dying medication she received months ago. she died as she intended. peacefully in her bedroom in the amples of her loved ones. there were heart felt tweets about her passing. her story passionate fight will never leave me. she modelled the bravery of facing death with dignity. she, not cancer, had the last word. in her last online post she thanked family and close friends who she called herring of support before ending with a final message.

welcome back. former secretary of state hillary clinton was in new hampshire kbryesterday making a final campaign push for jane shaheen in one of the most closely watched senate races in this country. in fact, just a few months ago new hampshire was one of the few states expected to stay safely blue. but republican contender scott brown has steadily narrowed the gap in that state. look at the late et. cetest polg it to be a statistical dead heat. sha sheen holding a 2 point lead. foster daily democrat, one of the largest newspapers points out that although scott brown has been popular he's been successful in making it a national referendum. here is the quote from the paper. brown has been relentless joining me now msnbc political

correspondent kaci hunt. in the case of louisiana and georgia the governor believed there was a certain amount of race of being factor in how some voters see the president in those states that have gone red. but that can't be said or can it for new hampshire? does it seem to be the case? >> not as much. the president is terribly unpopular in new hampshire. it's a shift he's run there twice. we should remember they didn't go for him in 2008. they went instead for hillary clinton. that tell s us part of the stor. new hampshire is a state that is very us is suspectble of the national mood. we've seen the national mood sour in the final week of the campaign. scout brown very successfully capitalized on the idea that voters are anxious. isis, ebola, those are things that, you know, in new hampshire can resonate. there's a a lot of veterans in new hampshire. it's an important voting group there. i think it's contributed. >> you say ebola and isis.

when you talk to voters those are not the critical stories while they sucked up the energy in the news cycle. we were leading with ebola and certainly isis for legitimate reasons. they were more stories that took up the oxygen but did not and do not affect how people are voting. it is going back to the economy and too that instability and fear despite the numbers that show an improvement in the economy and a lowering of the unemployment rate that the democrats could not sink their teeth into. >> people just aren't feeling that. we see it in the big numbers in the gdp numbers, even in the unemployment rate. >> what are they feeling? >> deep insecurity themselves. personal insecurity. there's a lot of concern about the competence of the government. i would say that you know what we've seen it might be isis and ebola in the last couple of weeks. it plays into the long running narrative of, you know, democrats have struggled. the administration has struggled to show they are competent in dealing with whatever problem it

may put forward. it started last year at this time with the health care rollout. >> the political science professor at new england was quoted it comes downturn out. let's talk about the ground game and the turn out. >> sure. democrats have a pretty strong organization in new hampshire. that said republicans do as well. it's a presidential state. both sides are used to had this. one thing that is important to remember is jean shaheen is pretty popular. she's above the 50% threshold we look at when we're judging incumbents. it's very rare for an incumbent who is popular like that to lose. it didn't happen at all in 2006, which was the last time we had a similar type of midterm situation. it sets her apparent from other incumbents. they're all below 50 in the own approval ratings. that spells trouble for them. if shaheen hangs on.

>> $4 to $6 million spent. the number that is the highlight number $27 million of that coming from the outside groups have spent $9.5 million against shaheen and 12.3 million against brown. >> you have to remember in new hampshire it's actually the boston media market which is one of the most expensive in the country which is why you see up so high. it's a big focus for sort of people inside the beltway. karl rove spends a lot of time, money, and energy in new hampshire looking at this kind of race. this was a place that republicans hoped to be able to push democrats unexpectedly and they've exceeded. >> thank you so much. it's nice to have you on. up next outgoing iowa senator tom harkin is coming under fire for these comments about republican joni ernst. >> i don't care if she's as good looking as taylor swift. or as nice as mr. rogers. but if she votes like michele

bachmann she's wrong for state of iowa.

we continue with our special coverage of vote 2014 in iowa. critical race that could put control of the senate in the hands of republicans. the des moines register's final poll puts joni ernst seven points ahead of democrat bruce braley. senate senator has 51% support. braley and congressman getting 44%. earlier today ernst fired back against tom harkin who said last week ernst didn't deserve his seat just because she was prett pretty. >> joni ernst, she's really pretty. she sounds nice. i don't care if she's as good looking as taylor swift or as nice as mr. rogers. but if she votes like michele bachmann, she's wrong for the state of iowa. >> and nbc luke russert joins us from des moines. let me play ernst reaction today

from senator harkin. >> i was very offended that senator harkin would say that. i think it's unfortunate that he and many of their party believe that you can't be a real woman if you're conservative and you're female. if my name had been john ernst attacked to my resume, senator harkin would not have said those things. >> all right. that's catching a lot of attention. but in reality it's this poem that is showing up her 7 points, luke. >> yeah. i think of the bad things to happen to the braley campaign the last few days the des moines, iowa poll is force about taylor swift. in the poll it's the gold start they're more often right than wrong. nate silver gives them an a plus. it showed he lose on the issue does the person running care about me. it's often an issue democrats do better on.

he's behind there. braley fell victim to the personal narrative. she's 44 years old. a younger woman on the republican sides. she's a veteran. she's someone a farmer here in iowa. deep agricultural state. she's not been able to break out of the washington lawyer and every attack he launched on her for her positions whether it been on personhood, whether it be on social security or medicare. they haven't stuck the way they wanted. democrats have a inlt will have optimism and say their superior ground game could bring him home a victory. houf, if you look at the poll it is an outlier the ground game is good for about three or four points as most. but the quinnipiac poll shows choice of optimism on that side. it's hard to see a real path forward right now to have a optimism for bruce braley. if they pull it off it will be a last second miracle and reflects the momentum on the ground.

there's a lot of power behind ernst. people think if she's able to win this she becomes an instant gop rock star. if you think of the republicans running for president going to covet her endorsement in iowa, being a woman, a veteran, and being a conservative. >> harry reid's comments on the conference call on saturday said what joni ernst would mean coming to the senate is mcconnell would be the leader of the senate. that's comments from senator reid on saturday on the conference call, luke. >> and right. that's all directed at trying to get turn out, turn out, turn out. you had elizabeth warren calling on behalf of bruce braley. they want this. if the democrats lose iowa, tamron, it's a real uphill battle to keep control of the senate. that's why you're seeing the type of resources. bill clinton was here twice on saturday. it's tough on the momentum on the side. today in florida bill

joining me now by miami harrold's political writer. if that headline is right we could see lawyers and a succumb of photographers and reporters in florida again searching for ballots. that truly is a nightmare scenario. >> that's the scenario we love in florida. we love chaotic elections. yeah. we have one just last night and today we've had four polls released. two of them show a dead even tie. one showed rick scott up by about 2 points. another shows charlie crist up by one percentage points. both are inside the error of margin. this race is tied. an interesting race happened yesterday. the famed souls to the poll event. black voter rallies where people

vote after church took place. it didn't make a difference. it looks like democrats were trailing republicans by about 126,000 early and absentee ballots cast so far made up about 26,000 of the votes. now the gop margin is about 100,000. the democrats have more chance to make up the deficit. democrats in florida, outnumber registered republicans by about 445,000. >> you talk the polls. charlie crist campaigned with vice president joe biden. unlike in past years determined as you said not to let democrats run up the score. so rick scott visited a church an african-american church in lauderdale lakes and rallied with jeb bush in miami-dade's heavily hispanic republican city of highlea there. it's interesting they have chose ton keep the race as tight as

possible. with key demographics in your state. >> sure. one thing that has a lot of credit goes to rick scott. he's run a very strong campaign. he's had a lot of negatives against him since he got in office even beforehand. he's done a good job mobilizing. very strong ground game. he spent tons of money. we're probably up to about $105 million in tv ad spending. probably 65% is from him or people affiliated with rick scott. probably all told rick scott probably spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $115 million or so on the race in general. i mean, they're really getting the vote they're doing a lot of data mining, a lot of data management and doing a good job of turning out the vote. why is why they're ahead. >> and the visit from bill clinton. it's a surreal image of seeing charlie crist and bill clinton there together. what are you hearing on the ground regarding the last ditch push to have one of the most

popular if not the most popular democrat in the country come down there? >> well, it should probably help charlie crist. back to rick scott they're running a effective campaign ad which shows images of charlie crist from years ago saying that bill clinton should resign after being impeached and they're j juxtapositioning of it with charlie crist saying he's a great guy. >> it shows that words matter even if they were awhile ago. thank you very much. up next we'll take a little teeny break from politics. he's a legend. carlos santana will join me live to talk about his new memoir how he went from playing at the t taiwijuana bar to becoming a ten-time grammy winner and what motivates him outside of music. be sure to join us on
