for example, imposing the affordable care act, or obamacare, as republicans are calling it, that is something that republicans want to get rid of. the truth of the matter is that this is an unpopular president and is he who will be punished in the elections. it is always incumbents who get punished, and that is why so many democrats risk losing their seats in the senate and may also be losing in the house of representatives. it looks like a night of losses ahead for democrats. the big surprise would be if democrats were to keep control of the senate and the u.s. congress. >> we will be keeping an eye on this election throughout the day and through tomorrow. there are several tight senate races and one of the hardest fought contest is in colorado. that is where the incumbent democrat mark udall faces a stiff challenge from republican cory gardner. >> the crowd goes wild for political star. hillary clinton is in the room. for the former secretary of campaigning for herself yet. she is on the stump for democratic colorado senator mark udall, who is fighting the battle of his political career. tw
