debra, fischer on the republican side, polling shows fischer ahead of kerrey here, we would expect itry republican state, the republicans have a good chance there for a pickup. on the democratic side august chance the democrats have chance to snatch one away from the republicans is massachusetts, where senator scott brown is running a tough fight against elizabeth warren, the democratic candidate. we know that she was so crucial in the creation of the consumer watchdog board down in washington. we see warn ahead of the polling, neck in neck. >> traditionally democratic state? >> ted kennedy's old seat. a point of pride. >> the two states in which republican also early leads in the senate races, missouri and indiana, the republican candidates there sort of stepped in it a couple times. >> social issues have been disastrous for republicans this year, comments about rape and under what circumstances we should allow abortion have been very, very inflammatory in a couple of these races. these not helping republicans who want to take control of the senate this year. >> all right, thanks ver

the lone pickup was in nebraska where deb fischer defeated bob kerrey to grab a seat vacated by retiringrat ben nelson. let's take a look at where things stand. two uncalled races here. this is for an open seat in north dakota would be if heidi . we have not called it. let me run through both of those just to show you the raw vote totals where we are now 0. there's still a lot of vote to count here. leads by 17,000 votes. that is everything that seems to be out. a lot of folks believe that will hold. i have a feeling this will take a little while longer. congressman rick bird only trailing by 994 votes. that's pretty good math for lack of sleep. democrats may pick up anywhere at least as many as eight seats. there it went. whoop. th camera wept down. hey look, better that it went down today than before. it looks like we have -- it's going to be as many as a net gain of eight seats, at worst four seats. joining me now is the man in charge of trying to pick up house seats. it was a tough night for house democrats when you consider everything else on the board. congressman israel, how democ

his national fame not enough to carry him against deb fischer.e're seeing that tammy duckworth is the projected winner. an iraq veteran and double amputee. she was featured prominently in the democratic national convention. and something interesting to throw in here. paul ryan, who was running for the house again, he is projected to win that house seat for paul ryan. he has won one of his two races. >> he did vote twice today in jamesville, wisconsin. >> we are watching still too close to call situations and too early to call. there's colorado, too close to call. 18 electoral votes, very important for both candidates to win ohio and florida. stay with your money, your vote on cnbc. back in a moment. to a currency market for everyone. the potential of fxcm unlocked. nyse euronext. unlocking the world's potential. the potential of yelp unlocked. nyse euronext. unlocking the world's potential. a short word that's a tall order. up your game. up the ante. and if you stumble, you get back up. up isn't easy, and we ought to know. we're in the business o

we'll see deb fischer from nebraska. massachusetts, we talk about elizabeth warren.l win there. and then mazie hirano. >> these are very, very close. also a couple of female candidates still outstanding. north dakota, the heidi heitkamp is fewer than 4,000 votes ahead of rick berg. we are watching this very closely still. nevada as well. very, very close. the republican incumbent, dean heller is slightly ahead of the democrat, shelley berkley. and this is a surprise, jon tester and denny rehberg were very, very close. >> call. house races as well. >> some very well known names. these are really squeakers. allen west was very well known. 50% to 50% for the democratic challenger. a little more than 2,000 votes separating them with 99% reporting. probably the most well known name when it comes to the tea party, michele bachmann is now neck in neck. fewer than 2,000 votes ahead of her democratic challenger. so this is pretty remarkable. >> with 85% reporting. so we want to talk with some tea party-backed congressmen who lost. and one was in illinois. joe walsh who was on

the other new women senators are republican nebraska state senator deb fischer and former north dakota attorney general heidi heitkamp. and those are some of the headlines. this is "democracy now!," democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. two weeks before the election of president obama privately revealed one of the essential factors to his re-election -- the latino vote. in a conversation with editors at the des moines register, obama said -- obama was right. latino voters turned out in record numbers on tuesday and exit polls show obama won 71% of the latino vote. mitt romney won just 27%, less than any presidential candidates published any republican candidate in 16 years. in 2004, george w. bush won 44% of the latino vote. for the first time, latinos made up more than 10% of the nation's electorate. obama's a one huge margins of african-american and asian- american voters. on wednesday, senate majority leader harry reid called the democrats the party of diversity. and vowed to bring up an immigration reform bill next year. he said republicans continue to oppose

. >> you have stan fischer and james grant. >> the head of the central bank niz real and jim grant on. i'm going it get ready for the next hour of "closing bell." >> what wouldn't you buy right now? >> high yield debt. the fed has forced people off the the risk spectrum. it's forcing them into things with yield. >> ben, this market continues to come back here. are you still going to buy into this right now? >> absolutely. i think this has some leks. if you missed the opportunity, you'll probably see a few more pullbacks going into december. in the meantime, i think the general trend is still to the upside, whether you're a technical analyst, fundamental analyst. i think the biggest risk is as was just stated, an interest rate risk. huge exposure for interest rates moving to the up side. >> all right. good to see you both. talk to you later. as we go around here, we are well off the lows of the day. we were down 94 on the low of the day. now down 12 points on

his only winners of the night were dean heller, the incumbent appointed senator in nevada and deb fischer. more than $100 million went to candidates who won versus those who lost. it turns out his rate of return if you want to put this in business terms was an anemic 1.29% return on the dollar in terms of winners and beating people he didn't like. he was asked about it, mr. adelson, on fox, actually rove was on fox. >> yeah, look, if groups like crossroads were not active this race would have been over a long time ago. president obama came out of the box on may 15th with $215 million of advertising over 2 1/2 month period designed to demonize mitt romney. >> how is that for an argument. if it wasn't for his own money, romney would have been less competitive and would have lost earlier. how will that fly with the billionaires who put their money into this thing. michael isikoff knows about this stuff. he's national investigative correspondent for nbc news. john heilemann is with new york magazine and an msnbc political analyst. gentlemen, you're both pros. money, money talks. bs walks. you

deb fischer in nebraska. angus king. now late today another pickup. >> guest: right.amp. >> one thing i look for is i talk to people about running for the senate as democrats real leaders who understood what was happening to people in the state. heidi heidekamp is a great example of someone in a red state but has down home valu values. joe donnelly same thing. understand what is is happening to the working class today and wants to come to washington, d.c. to solve the problem. across the board, our candidates really said yes at a tough time to run because they want to come together and work. you hear joe donnelly say time and again, i'm not coming to represent a party. i'm coming to work to solve the problems of this country. i think that characterization goes across board and gives us the ability to really come together to find some solutions today. >> bret: speaker boehner talked about forging a bipartisan agreement. he was specific. take a listen to this. >> for the purposes of forging a bipartisan agreement that begins to sol t problem, we're willing to accept new
