mike emmanuel is on capitol hill. republicans are asking for changes to social security and medicare. any common ground? >> shep, in public, it does not sound like it. top republican leaders say if you want to avoid the fiscal cliff, you need to address the drivers of our debt. >> we know that the only way we can solve our long-term debt and deficit problem is to fix the unsustainable growth rates of our very popular entitlement programs. the president has from time to time indicated an openness to that. now is the time to actually do it. >> 42 business groups sent a letter to leaders of congress asking them to do tax reform to lower tax rates and also address entitlement reforms. >> shepard: democrats say they want more revenue, more taxes here. what about entitlement changes? >> well, any time you start talking about tweaking these programs, there are groups in washington around the country that mobilize to try and stop cuts. the number two senate democrat, dick durbin, says he'd be open to look at entitlements, but

mike emmanuel is live in green bay, wisconsin, with more. polls providing some fascinating data as both campaigns seek to create their final argument, if you will, their final pitch to voters to try to get support. let's take a look at the latest fox news polls. in the race for president among likely voters, a 46-46 tie. now for those who identified as extremely interested voters, it shows the romney-ryan ticket leading the president 53-42. on the president's handling of the economy, 52% disapprove of the president's handling of the economy. last time we saw the president, he had not given a campaign speech since last weekend. last we heard he was talking to the victims of hurricane sandy. >> for those like people i just had the chance to meet on this block and throughout new jersey, throughout the region whose lives have been upended, my second message is we are here for you and we will not forget. we will follow up to make sure that you get all the help that you need until you've rebuilt. >> governor romney woke up in battle ground florida

. >> suarez: i'm with rahm emmanuel as you mentioned. mr. mayor, we've been talking about the fact that billions of dollars have been spent on this campaign and as far as you can see not that much has changed. >> yes and no. i mean, one is you're going to have a democratic senate, a republican house and a democratic president. that's what it looks like at this point. that said, what is also different is the choice i think elections have meaning. in '96 we had a biggie leches. bill clinton went on to win. we had a balanced budget nine months later. the republicans will see this election. they spent a ton of money trying to defeat him. the american people spoke. i think that gives the president a clear mandate to lay before the congress. his agenda to strengthen the middle class. yes, not a lot of chairs moved but when the voters speak in a democracy that has purpose and meaning. >> suarez: even with roughly the same proportions in the national legislature, you're saying the argument for obstruction in the house is no longer there? if the pres

our mike emmanuel is in richmond.irginia who knew, mike. >> reporter: yeah, chep, they thought this would have been one of the early votes. here we are five hours later and we do not have a winner of the commonwealth of virginia. 13 electoral votes at stake. governor romney made two visits here on election eve. congressman ryan spend the afternoon of the election in the richmond area. recognizing if they lost virginia they may not have any possible opportunity to get to 270 electoral votes, crowds were huge. we heard reports of people waiting in line three or four hours to vote. and the bottom line was, virginia election officials said they were not going to call the race with people still in line. so they were going to give them a chance to cast their ballots, let the process go forward. even hours after the polls that officially closed and then would ultimately call the race. but the bottom line, the polls were extremely close here. officials here recognized it would be close to the very end. record turn out was cal

. >> pelley: let's switch to chicago where we have the mayor of chicago rahm emmanuel and the formerr president obama, mr. mayor, thank you very much for joining us. we have shown new hampshire and wisconsin now pick up by the president in terms of the swing states. how do you see things moving. >> well, to be blunt, i would be rather be us than them right now. there's a lot to go yet in ohio and florida, and in virginia and iowa. but in ohio and iowa come in like they're coming, i think you have a very good night for the president of the united states. as we say here in chicago, sweet home, chicago. so it will be a great night. >> pelley: mr. mayor, the turnout has been extremely heavy in a number of states, in florida in particular, and in virginia. they've had to keep the polls open past their closing time because so many people were standing in line. does that break for the president or break for mitt romney. >> let me say this, for a lot of people for the year saying the energy wasn't there for the president's voters i think they should take a step back and say why were they say

mike emmanuel is live in hilliard, ohio.o much time in ohio, he said with tongue in cheek? >> steve, good morning. three stops in ohio today. you're going to see president obama and key surrogates in the buckeye state basically from this point forward until election day. ohio and wisconsin are clearly part of president obama's midwestern firewall, if you will, trying to make sure that mitt romney does not have a path to get to 260 electoral votes. so expect to see the president here and two other stops later today and having key surrogates try to make sure the buckeye state is in his column on election day. out on the stump we've heard the president in his closing argument essentially make the point that mitt romney would be a rubber stamp for the right wing and here is a little bit more of what the president had to say last night in boulder, colorado. >> so we've made real progress these past four years, but colorado, we all know our work is not yet done. >> that's kind of the tone of the closing argument the obama campaign

he only listens to david axelrod and from emmanuelle in the beginning. i hope esr and by virtue of this campaign, yeah, you one and that great, but if you're going to govern from a fight listen to people with credentials other than those you can put upon them. you've got to give those people a place at the table. i would even go so far as to say yes, in addition to the kindest thing talk about here by widening the base among members of congress, you ought to have some people outside of congress, sitting at the table at the summit. a conservative economist, liberal comments leaves paul krugman out because he's basically a voice for the democratic national committee. the find some people who are thoughtful, who say these are the real consequences of what happens if you don't do anything we are the bipartisan policy center. during the last thing we put together, bbc put together a report if the debt ceiling were not raised them and took it on the hill and handed it to the members of the tea party. it was not a partisan effort, but many of them look at us an

i just saw merkel rahm emmanuel's in comments about that subject. comments.mmanuel's the national defense and education act, i want to give a belated thanks to the soviets for schering in the hell out of the united states. as a result, they created a program that got me through college and law school. we cannot give up. from this kid -- for this kid comedies make a big difference. let's look at this honestly. 25% of the federal aid to education goes to for-profits schools. they have 12% of the students, 25% of the federal aid, and more than double the student loan default rate in any other class of hire education. there are ways to cut back particularly as it is wasted as some of these tools that give us the opportunity for resources for real indication which can be a part of the future. now, we come to the most painful topic of all, entitlements. social security was included in the simpson-bowles report. i did not agree with all of it, but i thought it was a sensible approach to breathe life in social security beyond its current longevity. i was el

>> that's exactly what i called zeke emmanuel and asked a few months ago. number where we can reduce the health care costs in this country and not jeopardize the integrity of the programs? he came up with the range of about $400 billion. i think that is something we should start working with. i think that is an indication of where we should go, but keep in mind, i -- i respect gene robinson very, very much. but if i sound bland and general at this point, it's exactly to the point he made. when the doors close and we sit down with revenue on one side and entitlements on the other side, then we get specific and come up with a bipartisan plan. >> senator, senator -- >> let me say, first of all, everybody at this table is shocked, stunned, and deeply saddened that gene robinson would call you bland. whenever anybody asks us about dick durbin, you know what we say? he is like a flaming super nova. >> spicy meatball. >> he is a spicy meatball. >> he is the mick jagger of the senate without the paternity insurance. >> he is the mick jagger of the senate and there'

the couple of moderates that got elected -- the number of what were there 44 blue dogs and rahm emmanuel did proportly moderate democrats and elected in 2006 and 2008. they were almost all gone. the rules of the house tend to give control to the leadership of the majority party as long as it has sufficient majority and cohesiveness within the caucus or conference. and i think, you know, some substantive issues as norm suggest there had could be problems. i'm not sure boehner committed himself as strongly as dennis he won't bring anything forward that not supported by the majority party. he hasn't broughten anything forward like that. there aren't moderate republicans, there are some republicans open to some of the idea. but the northeast republicans might -- rand from the senate and unfortunate result for himself and the republican party in the primary. >> and that's right. i think the problem for boehner who is legislator would cienld of like the find the resolution is he doesn't have a leadership that behind him on that. there is a group the center aisle caucus which had a significant

let's go down to mike emmanuel in richmond. >> good evening.gy in the room, a lot of tension here at republican party headquarters in richmond. the reason is because they have only announced that eric cantor was re-elected. no surprise as the house majority leader. they are waiting to figure out whether this state will go for mitt romney or for barack obama. they are also wait to go figure out whether the highly contested senate race between george allen, the republican, and jim cane, the democrat, which way that will break. bottom line, there have been long lines all there. there were projections of record voter turnout. as many as 4 million people expected to vote in virginia. larry gave us that number. i can tell you from talking to democratic officials, they say there are as many as 500 people still in line in virginia beach voting at this hour, more than two hours after polls closed. they say there are several hundred people in line at locations in norfolk, virginia, as well. so republican officials here have told me, bottom line, people w
