charlie cook, do you think the republicans -- these races seem very tight.e majority locked down? >> these are all home games, you know, first six for democrats, montana, south dakota, west virginia, alaska, arkansas, louisiana. it's possible one of them might survive. and then you look at those four purple state, colorado, iowa, new hampshire, north carolina. if democrats held on to two of those, they would be really lucky. and i think roberts probably goes over the side. georgia, you know, maybe slight advantage perdue. but you smush it all together, i don't know if i'm as high as those percentages, but pretty high. >> steve schmidt, what is your thought about tonight? >> i think tonight will be a big night for republicans across the country in the u.s. senate, though i think it will be a difficult night the for republicans in some of the governors races. so this is not a republican tide, this is an anti-obama tide. >> did you agree do republicans have to win tonight? >> i think if anything short of a clear majority here is a disaster. a disaster for the r

charlie cook dropped an apparent bombshell in his remarks at a recent event. remarks that were reported last night in the "kansas city star" said cook said on the record that he does not believe hillary clinton or jeb bush will appear in the 2016 general election ballot. cook is a handicapper and doing that for three decades now. he also said that hillary clinton, in his estimation, has only a 25 to 30% chance of even running for president. if she does run, cook says, he has "lost her fastball." he was apparently less than impressed with her recent book tour. cook did not have good news for establishment republicans either in the crowd saying jeb bush is the long shot for the republican nomination citing bush's immigrations as two major sticking points with the gop base. he has a point on jeb and the republican base. but this hillary clinton, should we be taking a step back here because we've been saying for six months now for a year now hillary clinton 2016, the campaign basically started eight years ago and going to stop on the general election day. is there

the truth is folks like charlie cook right after the 2012 election, he's a great election prague nausats are probably going to lose the senate in 2014 because of the structure of the race. because all these races are in red states. so i think blaming the president is a bad idea. i think he's been very effective in a number of places. by the way, bill and hillary clinton have done a great job of going out there and conveying the democratic message. >> i tell you what, bill clinton has done everything he can do. he has been a power lifter. he had a big response last night down here in orlando, no question about that. the job he did on the ground in kentucky of course was yeoman's work. but there's one race, in the midst of citizens united, bob, and all of this money floating around, it is interesting that candidates do matter. the state of michigan, gary peters is looking very strong, the congressman, to fill that senate seat in the state of michigan against a candidate that threw boatloads of money at it but just had no clue on how to message anything and came across -- i mean -- she w

perspective, you have to go back and remember that right after barack obama was re-elected, folks like charlie cooknate in 2014. the odds are so heavily against them, where the races are held, the nature of the midterm electorate. i think blaming president obama is a mistake. they should have been out there, defending him. this economy is in a lot better shape, and yet, 60% of people think it's in a recession. >> ron, you heard bob on the make-up of the electorate and how that's a challenge for democrats. but there were strenuous efforts to capture some of those minority groups. women, a big push on the emphasis on republicans waging war on women, allegedly, a lot of outreach on images of ferguson and racial tensions, trying to get black voters out to the polls. and also a lot of outreach to young voters who turned out in force for president obama in the past. why didn't those efforts connect more? >> well, that's a good question. and there's going to have to be a lot of tea leaf reading and soul searching going on. i don't think you're going to attract a huge minority vote, particularly a black vo
