dr. jill biden has agreed to serve as sponsor of the uss delaware. dr. biden, as you all know, our nation's second lady, a proud blue star mom and a renowned and accomplished educator. her military connections run very deep and very strong. many of us know of bo biden's service in the u.s. army including deployment to iraq. but a couple of weeks ago it was announced that dr. biden's son hunter will receive a commission in the united states navy as a public affairs officer. her support of the military goes far beyond that of the service of her sons. dr. biden has co-sponsored with our first lady, michelle obama, the national initiative joining forces, providing support and expanding opportunities for veterans and active duty personnel and their families. that exemplifies the commitment to those who serve and who have served, and the strength of character of jill biden and of her home, the first state. i know delaware's citizens will honor their state's namesake, follow her as she comes to life in a few years and embrace those who sail in her for decades t

dr. jill biden, voting in wilmington, delaware. in just a moment i'll be talking with president obama's senior adviser, david axelrod. first though let's get right to john berman with a look at what's happening on the campaigns today. >> thanks so much, soledad. the polls are open in the president's home state of illinois. of course the president has already voted. so he will spend election day in chicago, after a busy final day delivering his closing remarks to voters in iowa and other states. cnn's dan lothian is following team obama in chicago and the president's got kind of a traditional day planned for himself. >> he does. and you know what the campaign says he likes to do every time election time rolls around on election day, he likes to play basketball, he surrounds himself with what i've been calling the class of 2008. these are some of the folks who were with him from the very beginning. some stayed on the administration, then went on to do other things. so we're seeing reggie love, the president's former body man. he was

dr. jill biden made military families a priority the first time.houghts by regarding the president and vice president to make sure veterans are well taken care of when they come home from serving? >> well, they certainly need to maintain a focus on employment. the unemployment rates are much higher amongst returning iraq and afghanistan vets and the general population and that's something we certainly need to change. and the second issue which is a very dire issue is mental health. mental health needs to be a focus. there are too few mental health efficients in the department of veterans affairs. they're trying to cope with warriors. that needs to be an area that this administration maintains a focus on. >> something i want to talk about, i can't place the person who said it, but i heard that never have so few been asked to do so much. we're talk about the percentage of men and women who served in iraq and afghanistan, and it's really remarkable the percentage of people who vn been fighting these two wars for so long. >> yes. it's less than 1% of t

dr. jill biden greeting each other as well.what struck most of us in the news room about this picture was this really doesn't seem to be a scene of jubilation. it seems to be a scene of relief, heavy sigh, if you will, felt in that room at the moment that the president understood he had won four more years at the whitehouse. let's go back to mccormick place as we are with the crowd there waiting for the president to step out. bob. >> well, you know, i've covered a lot of campaigns in my time and it's always more fun to be with the winner than it is with the loser. there's nothing quite as sad or as sad a places to be, to be in the campaign headquarters of the guy that lost. it's just tough on everybody. >> i think that's why you saw the whitehouse particularly chose that picture. they did not want to look like they are spiking the ball. and even gave axelrod an interview they did not want to appear they were celebrating too early and not tush sor to be sof gracious. having fought campaigns before people know what it's like to b

dr. jill biden. and his son, dr. beau biden behind him.elaware a safe state for the president and joe biden. both candidates campaigning hard for women support. let's look at their prospects with our team of powerhouse women. nicolle wallace, donna brazile, who ran al gore's campaign, and cokie roberts. cokie, let me begin with you and put up other figures from our poll. it shows president obama leading among women, 53% to 45%. an eight-point lead right now. governor romney, winning with men. 50% to 45%. president obama's lead with women is bigger than governor romney's lead with women right now. >> that is key because there are more women voters. president obama won women by 13 points in 2008. and what we're going to be looking at tonight is married women. unmarried women are overwhelmingly for the president. 70% went for him last time. and it's running about 65% in the polls. married women have not gone often the way married men have. they've gone off him, big-time. we need to know why that's true. whether it's an economic vote. married

dr. jill biden, these are live pictures of them voting if greenville, delaware. it appears the vice president is waiting in line just like everybody else. he doesn't get to cut the line. delaware not a swing state. but what about -- we see so many people in lines today. how much of the early vote matters? i've been looking at these numbers. it's stunning to see how many people have already voted. >> strategists were able to call the race in 2008 several days before. the election may be already over and we don't know it until the votes are counted. but because people have already voted early. >> as always, turnout is crucial. >> turnout has been crucial for three weeks. in other words, in colorado, nevada, north carolina, it may have been crucial before today, but on election day, as nancy mentioned in her piece, republicans have to turn their base out. >> stay with us, we'll be speaking with both campaigns this morning. we begin with david axelrod. david, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. happy election day. >> well, thank you. happy election day to you and

dr. jill biden and michelle obama as well. >> watch it on tv in the suite. chicago right now. the crowd is getting very revved up. video of president obama on the screen. jake tapper, what else are you seeing? >> right now we have to say, they're clearly getting ready for the president to come out. remarks were put out the they are running as they have been for several hours now, these videos that have been a very popular part of the obama campaign. with supporters. they have been, running them. this of course is the famous fired up, ready to go speech, which president obama likes to tell at the end of his campaigns. he did it in 2008. he did, guess, last night in des moines, possible that was last night. last night in des moines he told the story about a little old lady at a campaign stop during desperate time for his campaign. and you hear president obama chanting, fired up, ready to go. the crowd very excited. a smaller cr eer crowd than we d to. >> president obama expected to come out. >> now, look at this. >> george, they're raising the curtains of cour
