i don't care if -- if she votes like michelle bachman, she's wrong. >> if that were a republican whoot of focus on that this morning. and dana perino said on the special last night, this would be front page. it would be a big deal. she thought. i think that's probably true. harkin planned that. he had note cards. it wasn't like he stumbled into that sound bite. it's getting attention, but it's not getting a lot of negative attention. >> i'm curious to find out what joni ernst is going to talk about it. stick around because she'll be on the show. we're going to ask her about it. >> true. meanwhile, there is a big item in politico this morning talks about how barak obama is upset that things aren't going his way. he says they spent $2 billion dumping on me and nobody is sticking up for me, me, me. tom corker, the tennessee senator, he says the president appears tired. it's almost as if he was wishing for a six-year term instead of eight-year term. >> yeah. this is the second really big behind the scenes anonymous source piece. you have the "new york times," foreign policy focus. now yo

and michele bachman is leaving but tom amer, an male version of michele bachman is coming in in minnesota. [laughter] and so there's still this problem and john boehner love to -- is going to have to tread very carefully. over in the senate i have three big question marks, and their names are dan sullivan in alaska, ben sasse of nebraska and tom cotton in arkansas. they are all smart and personable an interesting and thoughtful but i'm not exactly sure where they fit in this question of what is your role as a legislator. this is increasingly an important question, to put on republican side. how do these people were elected -- who are elected officials see their role? is this to come here and part of a diverse institution and, representing constituencies, and therefore, we need to compromise and compromise could? -- good? or is a we've been compromising the last 50 years, conservative republicans, we elect presidents, even our own party, they tell us they will shrink government and instead it gets bigger and we get medicare part d and we get federalization of education and we are tired so

but if she votes like michelle bachman, she's wrong for the state of iowa. [ applause ] >> senator harkin has apologized for dragging taylor swift into that campaign. in georgia, the latest poll from nbc news shows david perdue at 48% and nunn at 44%. >> north carolina, we need to send a message this election. if you want to make a difference, here is your chance. vote for democrats and senator kay hagan on november 4th. republicans are cutting investments in education while protecting the wealthy. send someone who stands with our priorities. stand with me, president obama, and take responsibility for moving north carolina forward by voting for kay hagan on november 4, an is that right you can count on. >> in new hampshire, two new polls show a tie between jeanne shaheen and scott brown. a poll from wmur shows senator shaheen ahead by one. another poll from new england college shows shaheen behind by one. but it's a campaign event over the weekend that has created the final controversy of that campaign. this is what jennifer horn, the head of the new hampshire republican party had to say.

. >> congresswoman michelle bachman from the state of minimum men.ays great to see you. >> thank you. >>> as more voters head to the polls today president obama makes a surprise call. who did he call? we already have reports coming in of voting irregularities. we'll tell you where it's happening because it's more than one state. speaking of turn zout, is the weather going to be faktor? we're live with your fox cast coming up next. óqoqúúÑ@ >>> president obama keeping a relatively low profile on this election day except for a rare call he made a short time ago. chief white house correspondent ed henry joins us live with more. ed, what is next? the president apparently has a big choice to make. does he work with senate republicans or go his own way, and what was up with this phone call? >> well, let's start with the phone call. you know, josh ernest a short time ago was insisting that these elections will not be a referendum on the president. it's all about the candidates involved. obviously there are a lot of republicans who don't buy that. especial

my congresswoman is michele bachman. and it was her thing. i pull out this particular prayer and i am going to read it in a moment. i asked her to take this prayer and replace the congressman's name, this is a prayer a volunteer in houston had written about his congressman and this is a volunteer in atlanta who replaced with this congressman, pat swindall. it is about healing the break, about the issues you were raising and their congressman was one of the few who voted against lemonade -- sending aid to ethiopia in 1985 and they were very embarrassed by it all and didn't know how to work with such a person's 0 they would start this prayer ended goes like this. thank you for pat swindall. we know he is a good man and wants to do right in the world. we know he struggles with the same problems we do, closing our hearts to those who don't agree with us. there are no thoughts or feelings that he has had the we haven't had a and vice versa. we pray for all of us to learn compassion for people in our country and far away, rich and poor, and we will

but where he did have a point is joni ernst will vote like any hea -- votelike michele bachman. 's how she is going to vote. if joni ernst is elected to the senate from iowa she would vote the way michele bachmann would. that's what iowa will be voting for if they vote for joni ernst. >> joni ernst is going to vote the way she wants to vote. she talks about castrating hogs. it was a big hit. it was a big risk to take. she is attractive to voters because of her conservative values. she made her campaign about president obama which is a smart thing do when he's unpopular. bill: is this offensive to women when they hear this? >> i would say why it' offensive but it's also petty and lazy. make a better argument. there are plenty of issues tom harkin could have taken joni ernst on but he's afraid to do that because she would could come back. they want to take cheap shots. but it's not going to work. bill: do women find that offensive? >> of course. if he could have used the michele bachmann voting regard and gone off joni ernst. when she goes to washington, d.c. if she wins tomorrow n

i mean, to me the tenor of the conversation, some times you hear michelle bachman and congress people are they talking about people or insects? what are they talking about? >> she made a comment the other day, sort of -- >> we speak english pretty well. i think i do. i think a lot of us do. >> do you fine the tenor of the debate glosses over the, the kind of -- human teity of peopl? >> this is where i think for us. and america at the forefront of this. the fact that, there is still, "the washington post," "the new york times" that refer to people as illegal. i am here illegally. as a person i am not illegal. you call them illegal. end of conversation. i think that has really become a problem as to why we can't. i have done, what 350 events in 44 states in the past three years. i got to tell you, the deep level of misunderstanding and the lack of humanity and compassion when we talk about it. tonight listening to the president. i kept thinking about. i kept thinking about the irish. i kept thinking about italians. all these immigrants that came here before there was ellis island, proce

our next turkey, number four, is michelle bachman for saying this. likelihood vote democrat is what she's saying. >> right. and look, i'm fully willing to concede that when it comes to the president's executive amnesty, it's quite controversial, there are some serious constitutional and policy issues at play. so to sort of rant about ill little rates in a proposed statement no less, is just about the least helpful messaging for republicans that i can possibly imagine. congresswoman bachman is retiring in december. >> i think your number three is something most people will have a hard time disagreeing with. beau sides of the aisle. president obama going golfing shortly after the foley beheading and held that news conference in martha's vineyard. let's look at this one. you remember this shot. it was just minutes later. seven minutes later, he's saying fore. >> yeah. i think there have been a number of optics issues that the white house has grappled with this year, whether it was the golf game after the beheading, whether it was the president moving fo

rogers, but if she votes like michelle bachman, she's wrong for the state of iowa. >> i got news ford switching their votes to the republican candidates for congress. so has the democrats war on women officially backfired? here to discuss it, the chicks on the ride, authors of a new book "right for a reason." they join us this morning. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> what a refreshing book. >> thanks. >> what gave you the idea to write this book and say let's put it down on paper? >> we've had a really successful blog, chicks on the right.com for almost six years now. and the way that we write the blog is with a lot of straight talk, a little snark and we write about current events and political issues in a funny way that we think attracts sort of a regular person because that's what we are. so we wrote the book to kind of go along with that and give people a reason to sort of rally behind conservatism. >> what has the response been with the outreach from young women that are hearing your message? >> i think they love it because we talk in a very straightforward way and it's
