michael goodwin, robert zimmerman, ed roolins, also fox news contributors good to have you here. let's start with president's @%sessment. bleakest map for democrats, do you agree? >> look, whatever it started out to be his policies and his lack of popular popularity made it mk for democrats in many states, they should have held or picked up some seats, he has been a drag on him, once again it is never his fault but it is his fault. >> well, let's be realistic about this. this is a collect of states that president lost many of them by double digits. digits. lou: let's talk about virginia. where mark warner was supposed to win, ed gillespie was behind double digits two weeks ago now it appears to be a verypit tiggt battle. >> let see how it plays out. lou: we don't need to be reminded of protocol, i need you to answer the question. >> i am not accepting the instance analysis. lou: what was that. >> too closing to call. lou: would you like to -- >> i would like to see more votes come in. lou::we have a testy democrat on set with us, it may be more of a suggestion. >> my close to cal

robert zimmerman, a democratic strategist. gentlemen. >> good to be with you. >> robert, let's get real. this is like a naked political move. >> not that there's anything wrong with that, but clearly, mary landrieu gets the show, taking on the leadership of her party. her opponent, cassidy, may have been put on the bill by the republican leadership. obviously there's politics. when both sides say there's not politics, you can count on it being political. >> let's talk a little bit about what the keystone oil pipeline would accomplish if, indeed, congress passes it and president obama gives it the okay? i like to live in fantasy world. >> it could happen. >> let's talk about energy independence. right now the united states is producing more oil than ever, now producing 8.9 million barrels of oil per day. in 2005 the united states produced 5.1 million barrels a day. that's amazing, right? >> it is. >> gas is below $3.00 on average throughout the country. do we vitally need the keystone pipeline right now, ron? >> sure. why not?

let's bring in our political panel mark murray, democratic strategies robert zimmerman and rich galen. robert has a lot to explain. explain how it happened to his mind and party. >> i want to hone in on the demographic of the voters. young people, minorities, and women. yet again didn't show up in the numbers as though reliable republican voters. >> we've been talking about why do democrats do so well in democratic elections. look at the electorate. the electorate was much older. younger voters just didn't come out. we saw that in the situation in 2010. it was once again the situation in 2014. minority voters weren't as decisive as 2012. you added all together and it wasn't the democratic coalition. you can have a lot of the blame game is going around was it president obama's fault, the fault of democratic candidates in the south and everywhere distance themselves from the president alienating a lot of voters? a combination? but clear democrats have an issue when you have midterm elections and it's not a presidential level turn out. now they have to pieces. it's a demoralized party. w

i want to turn to gop strategist kevin madden and robert zimmerman.e get to talk yet again about all of the issues that seem to be nonissues for people and yet they scream and yell until they are blue in the face and yet they don't vote. is it possible that we won't know who controls the senate until a georgia runoff in january? >> it is. it looks like louisiana and georgia are still too close to call. many republicans feel good about eventually winning that runoff in louisiana. and there are many republicans that have seen in the last few weeks the georgia race and one that i actually helped work on. they have seen that move towards the republicans as well. so the other thing to remember about georgia is that republicans down there have won the last eight -- 8-0 in runoffs in georgia. it does look like those two contests could be extended but it looks like the republicans will gain the advantage. >> so robert, we're hearing more and more over the last 12 hours or so that things are getting more squeaky and looking more dim for the dems. what can demo
