scott brown is not from new hampshire, scott brown has been talking about isis and ebola.lways knew this was going to be a close race and we've spent the last weeks and months point out the differences between me and scott brown. i'm working for middle class families, for small businesses here. we know when he represented massachusetts, he was really in the pocket of the corporate interest interests, the wall street banks, the oil companies, the companies that want to outsource our jobs. so i think the voters will look today at who's going to represent new hampshire, put new hampshire first versus somebody who's not been here who doesn't know the state. >> how's your ground game as compared to jean sne shaheen. >> well, we're going find out in about eight hours. >> what's going on with your zip code if you don't win tonight. are you going back to massachusetts? >> that's a silly question. >> silly? >> yeah. >> david, let me ask you, one of the things that some new hampshire poll watchers and political experts have said the race is tightening because jeanne shaheen has alwa

scott brown, 40%, 44% for scott brown but only 17% of the vote.t to go to dana bash, our chief congressional correspondent. you're in the war room over there. what are you learning? >> reporter: well, i'm learning that according to sources from the parties that on friday, the white house had invited a pretty large group of bipartisan leaders to start talking about what's next. we're still on election night we don't know exactly what the outcome is going to be, but obviously where i am democrats are bracing for a loss in the senate. they're almost sure it's going to happen in the house. so they're going to start talking on friday about how to governor in that situation with complete control with republicans. >> so leadership i assume at the house and the senate to come to the white house to deal with the final two years of his presidency. we're watching a surprising turn in the virginia senate race, the democrat mark warner now trailing as republican challenger ed gillespie, can he survive. let's take a look at the man who just scored the second se

since then, scott brown's been rolling on the tour bus throughout the state. he's put hundreds of miles on the bus, shaking hands and meeting people in diners. on sunday, we had hillary clinton here for jeanne shaheen, and that was a big event for the democrats, and certainly a great turnout there. that night, following hillary's appearance during the day is when the bus rolled into an air hangar, an actual bus roll-in, and the top ticket candidates got off the bus and rallied the troops. today we had governor chris christie, who made a quick appearance on the bus tour. and i think it's really, as you said in the polls, it's reflective of how tight this race is and how determined both sides are. they've put so much effort into this energizing the base and getting people out to vote. i heard from the republican side that scott brown made the 1 millionth phone call today on voters to get out and vote. and on jeanne shaheen's side they've opened 20 field offices, investing seven figures. >> when you show these polls that are close to a tie, it really does come do

border security, ebola. >> scott brown was the right guy for the moment.hey stumbled to become a strong supporter of the president. >> he has been very disciplined hasn't made a lot of mistakes in his campaign. if he winds up winning this race is it because of the national sway on the issues. can you attribute it to anything other than that? >> you are right? he hustled himself all over that state. yes, the issues could change. it's the way the president handled national security foreign policy issues really cooked this race up is it possible for republicans. >> much more of kris standing by we want to go to where kate hagan and tom till lis has become the costliest race of the mid terms. we saw reports this week spending in this fight has topped $100 million. do you believe that? with an estimated 70 percent coming from outside groups. a fact that has not gone unnoticed. >> north carolina is this purple state. i feel very good about where we are. i do think that out of state money is something that i am very disappointed in. it is because of the supreme c

what does scott brown do? he says i'm pro-choice, which is true despite his part of that legislation. and hearing this from jean shaheen who has voted six years with barack obama. this is the gop playbook. what is the charges? my opponent doesn't like children. come back and say, yeah, she was seen in a room with president obama. so republicans very much trying to use the president's unpopularity against democrats in every instance they can. >> how much do you think tv presence affects these races? does it matter if you're good on tv? if you're good obviously in a debate it will help. how important has tv become in penetrating the electorate? >> i think increasingly tv is most of the ball game. candidates don't do quite as much in terms of town halls and pressing the flesh. they spend millions on these attack ads. even if they're not very good, you do enough retakes you can get a reasonable commercial out of it. what happens is there are so many negative ads people get sick of them and they wonder which side s

scott brown joins us right now.t out a cowl to senator shaheen, city wailing -- still waiting for a response but she doesn't like us itch don't know what it is. i have no idea. senator, let me ask you, you have tightened this race up ex-overcome always0s carpet baggers. you had a vacation home in the state, paying real estate taxes and didn't appear to go anywhere. now i'm wondering if you think you could make history, the first time in well over a century someone has gotten elected from two different states as senator. >> well, neil, first of all, good evening to you and your listeners. i was born here. nine generation. she is from ohio. we both care about new hampshire. i'm not worried about the historians. i'm worried about the direction of cower country and it's not going in a good direction and we need to change senators and be the check and balance with the president north only themes and takeway the funding and securing our border, dealing with energy prices, dealing with obamacare. a whole host of things to

that was new hampshire senator jeanne shaheen in a debate with republican senator scott brown. it's hard to imagine if much laughter at shaheen headquarters has this race has tightened up. shaheen maintained at least a ten-point polling lead for the last six months, even to see that disappear in the last few weeks. chief political correspondent paul cameron with a look at how that happened. >> reporter: thanks, megyn. the u.s. senate race in new hampshire may show how potent the race could be. in this race, it's a virtual dead heat. jeanne shaheen going after republican challenger scott brown. he's a republican. last, the u.s. senator from massachusetts. because he's not from new hampshire, the phrase of carpet bagger has been thrown around. she joked about it using the very controversial issue of immigration reform to talk about keeping scott brown out of new hampshire. >> we sort of let this guy sneak over the border. you probably have noticed that we've been debating border security a little bit in the campaign. literally, we didn't do enough to secure the southern border in

. >>> republicans are hoping to take away a senate seat in new hampshire where scott brown has been tying incumbent jeanne shaheen to president obama's policies and shaheen has labelled brown as an outsider. the front page of this morning's union leader said new hampshire voters could tip the scales in senate. we'll see. cnn is at a polling station in manchester. good morning. >> that's right, that is razor-thin vote here in new hampshire for the senate. it's a virtual dead heat depending on what poll you're looking at, jeanne shaheen might be ahead by two points, other polls have scott brown ahead by two points and that's well within the margin for error so this is a razor thin vote going in. republicans seeing this as a great chance to pick off a democratic senate seat. you talked about how scott brown is tying jeanne shaheen to president obama. he has wasted absolutely no opportunities during this campaign to tie her to president obama who is incredibly unpopular in this state. his approval numbers are in the 30 percentage points here and he at every turn scott brown has tied her to pr

so i pick scott brown. but i will say this. people should watch new hampshire on election night and the way that goes. if scott brown wins new hampshire, it is going to be a blood bath for the democrats. >> eleanor? >> if jean shaheen wins new hampshire things will be looking better. she is popular in the state. he really is a carpetbagger. he ran in massachusetts junior lost . then he moves to new hampshire. he was asked about sullivan county. he had no idea where it was or what it was. big gaffe at the end of the campaign. >> the polls show 49% to 49%. clarence? >> in brief i think shaheen pulls it out because she has got the roots and brown doesn't. >> i agree i think shaheen pulls it out. it will be a very close call but i think she will basically pull through. >> caller: says brown in a come from behind victory. >>> new hampshire stays democratic. okay. north carolina, incumbent democrat kay hagin vs. republican tom tillos. >> tillos has had $25 million in attack ads dumped on his head. normally i'm surprised he's not in j

so i pick scott brown. i will say this, john, people should watch new hampshire on election night and the way that goes. if scott brown wins new hampshire, it is going to be a blood bath for the democrats. >> eleanor. >> if jean wins, he is a carpet beggar. he ran in massachusetts, lost the seat and moves into new hampshire and in the last debate this weekend, he was asked about sullivan county. i think one of ten counties in new hampshire. he had no idea where it was or what it was. big gasp at the end of the campaign. >> it's 49% to 49%. clarence. >> i think shane pulls it out. she has the roots. >> i agree. i think he pulls it out. it's going to be a close call. she's going to pull through. >> two errors. mclaughlin says brown will pull it off and a come from behind victory. new hampshire stays democratic. okay. north carolina incumbent democrat kay hagen versus tillis. >> he has had $25 million in attack ads dumped on his head. but i honestly think he is coming on at the end of this week and i think cay

to keep scott brown from running there (laughter) this is one that i thought people would be interestedhe florida race between charlie crist ball fan and governor rick scott came down to the wire, results are in, governor rick scott has defeated charlie crist -- wait, no -- no! what a terrible situation for charlie crist to be eaten by a gator. how ironic. (laughter) joining us by satellite via g.o.p. headquarters, please well come, chairman of the republican national committee reince priebus. can you hear me? >> i can hear you just fine. (applause) >> jon: is this the greatest night of your life? (chuckles) >> it ranks up there, john jon,h a lot of good nights. tonight is historic and obviously we'll have more wins in the senate and there's more to come. >> jon: it's a blood bath out there. (laughter) were you surprised that the democrats strategy seemed to be -- again, i'm not a political strategist -- curling up in a ball and hoping you didn't kick them in the face too hard? was that a surprising strategy? >> it was a surprising strategy. (laughter) we kept our head down and we worke

even the former republican chairman said that scott brown is trying to scare people about the border. >> senator brown, fear mongering, the accusation? >> the enterovirus which are polio-like symptoms is real. it's in our country right now. that's what i was referring to. since the senator brought up the border and the immigration bill, i think it's important to discuss, once this bill, if the bill that the senator is referring to would have been passed and the president signs it, it immediately gives him the ability to give preference to people that are recently here, jobs. i want to fight for jobs in new hampshire. if you read the recent article about the jobs that are right now going to illegal immigrants and new people to our states, 70% are going to those people. i want to make sure we protect jobs right here, right now. with regard to once again scaring people, i have held six town halls. go around our state all the time talking about these very important issues. this is what people are talking to me about. they want their border secured. they want to make sure that their kids a

scott brown tried to tie her to president obama.ampshire-ites don't like president obama right now all that much. republican leaders in congress even more unpopular, even more against that. that worked for shaheen. >> very interesting. when asked at a debate why the president hasn't come to campaign for her, he's busy in washington. >> she did have hillary clinton. >> she did. george, thank you. >>> and there is still much more ahead on "world news tonight" this tuesday. the mystery in the sky. and what we're just learning at this hour. take a look at this. what appeared to be a fireball across the sky. calls coming in from more than a dozen states. but tonight, word of an opportunity? get to the bottom of this. >>> also, what federal investigators have revealed about that moment, the horror seen by thousands, families in the stands there. we learned about the fine tonight. >>> and you heard brad pitt right here on "world news tonight," what he revealed about his new marriage. tonight, it's her turn. what angelina jolie has now reve

scott brown has to come in and get that vote. people cho like jean chahine but don't like her policies. >> a senator in kentucky people don't like, but they may hold their nose and vote for her is mitch mcconnell's opponent , so mcconnell in a light-hearted ad. >> this may not be such a bad idea. i'm mitch mcconnell and i approve this message. >> it works because no one has ever seen mitch mcconnell laugh before. that for a lot of voters is a good thing. it's kind of goofy but it makes him seem normal and regular. >> i might have said massachusetts and referred to scott brown but he's former running for senator. >>> mark pryor spends half of his ad talking about puppy love. >> he'll say that i hate puppies. i admit it took me awhile to warm up to cowboy. just joking. i'm tom cotton, i do love puppies. >> okay, he loves puppies. so what, what about his position on minimum wage. >> tom cotton, again, you see dogs, you warmth, you see a soft side of a candidate, and that has always played well. tom cotton, a military guy, a little s

it does not surprise us that scott brown would be a 46% or 47%. the problem for scott brown is it is a two-way race and 47% does not do it. >> so you saw nate silver who says republican have a safety four poi-- have a 64.0% chance of winning the majority. the new york times give republicans a moderate edge. the washington post is hedging their bets. they say that republicans have a 93% chance. on the way over here in the cab, i got an e-mail from your president said that guy cecil is cautiously optimistic about the elections. why? >> i would offer for other protections that nate silver mad e. >> are you going to go negative on nate silver? >> no, i'm going to go factual. there was a 7% chance that -- a 13% that jon tester was going to win. a 30% chance that harry reid was going to win. all of those four people won. it is not to say that nate silve r is going to be wrong, but we are on a razor's edge in terms of who is going to hold the majority. you do not have to be wrong and 10 races to make a difference. you have to be wrong in one or two races

scott brown has to come in and get that vote. people cho like jean chahine, but don't like her policies. >> a senator in kentucky people don't like, but they may hold their nose and vote for her is mitch mcconnell's opponent , so mcconnell in a light-hearted ad. >> this may not be such a bad idea. i'm mitch mcconnell and i approve this message. >> it works because no one has ever seen mitch mcconnell laugh before. that for a lot of voters is a good thing. it's kind of goofy but it makes him seem normal and regular. >> i might have said massachusetts and referred to scott brown but he's former running for senator. >>> mark pryor spends half of his ad talking about puppy love. >> he'll say that i hate puppies. i admit it took me awhile to warm up to cowboy. just joking. i'm tom cotton, i do love puppies. >> okay, he loves puppies. so what, what about his position on minimum wage. >> tom cotton, again, you see dogs, you warmth, you see a soft side of a candidate, and that has always played well. tom cotton, a military guy, a little

that scott brown, our friend, state senator in new hampshire says scott brown crushes the shopping malltician. he is, he has lost two races. i will say, too, i agree with mike, as we see everybody pile on wendy davis last fight and this morning. >> okay. you try. as a democrat, to run in the state of texas as a woman. i mean, it is a very, very red state. like massachusetts is a very, very blue state. but people, i saw people mocking scott brown last fight from the left. i saw people mocking wendy davis from to the right. you know what, you try it. you put your name on a ballot. you go out there. you are like ripped to shreds. have you your family attacked. have you your very existence torn apart with ten, 20, $30 million of advertising against you. rig right? then you can criticize these people and mock them and ridicule them on the low points of their lives. it's graceless. you tack about scott brown in new hampshire or wendy davis if texas. they zefb our thanks for giving a dam about america and actually putting it on the line and getting blood in the arena. >> still ahead on "mornin

some publicly, you had gene in new hampshire, endangered democrat running against scott brown who in a debate recently said, she just doesn't want the president in her state. look, he's busy with isis and ebola, he should stay in washington and do that, instead of trying to campaign for her. what the president's been doing, he's been doing a lot of radio interviews so he's not in the public eye, standing next to one of the candidates, instead,

to new hampshire that is going to a senate race shaheen 52 to 48 over scott brown. >>> republicans win a sweeping majority over the senate. how do they do it? >> peter doocy takes us beyond the numbers of the biggest races. peter, good morning. >> republicans across the country last night held their breath to see if they would take control of the senate. the clincher came held to republican challenger tom tillis in the most contentious senate race ever. >> that's freedom. then there was senator pat roberts in kansas on his way to a fourth term after dispatching greg foreman. >> i heard my marching orders loud and clear. i will be bold, i will be conservative and i will be constructive. i promise you this, we will get things done p. >> and in iowa hawkeye state voters picked joanie ernst. she beat democrat bruce braille. ernst came out on top and will become the first women iowa has ever sent to the u.s. house or senate. >> working together that is the america that we are going to build. we are going to build. >> the u.s. senate is going to look a lot different come january with several

beat scott brown there. kay hagan has to hold on in north carolina.d a break with an independent who will probably go with them, greg orman, we just talked about. after that, i'm wondering how they get the two more they need. >> let's go to the big board. let's take a look at what i think would be the most likely path for the democrats to retain the senate. start with two assumptions. election, not a single one of them put the democrat ahead and yet they won by two points on election day. they say they missed the latino vote. two major variables. let's say the polls have missed that in colorado and democrats can pick it up. where else do they look? i think the next most likely one, believe it or not, is alaska. when they talk about states being tough to poll, they are talking about alaska. we've seen polls with begich of ten points, and polls that put his challenger ahead by a single digit. this is a state where if begich wins comfortably, we wouldn't be shocked. if he loses it by a big margin, we wouldn't be shocked. but he's shown life. you got 48 n

and, of course, the carpet bagger label has stuck with scott brown, whether or not it's valid. i think that was a factor for some people. but ultimately, you know, i think voters here in new hampshire are feeling pretty comfortable right now. our unemployment rate is not too bad compared to the rest of the country, and so where in some states it might be people are looking to vote for change and they want something to happen, here in new hampshire anyway, things haven't been so bad. the economy has turned around enough that i think people maybe voted for more of what has been happening, which is recovery. >> sreenivasan: okay. you've spoken to brown's people. he's been campaigning for pretty much five years now. you had the special election in massachusetts, then the election versus warren. if he doesn't win, what's next for him? obviously they're expecting a win and they're still waiting tonight, but what does he do next? >> i don't know. i saw one reporter asked him if he would go back the massachusetts if he lost, and he sort of just shrugged that off and said that's a silly

running there, it wouldn't be close in north carolina if scott brown were running there. he has the toughest assignment this year. that's why i'm rooting for scott. >> i've been told i have to ask you this question. you said ted cruz won't say he will support mitch mcconnell for majority leader if mcconnell gets elected. he he told the "washington post" that he would push for the senate and conservatives to be as confrontational as possible. is that the thing to do, be as confrontational as possible? >> with? with whom? is he saying confrontational with other republicans? >> the democrats, the white house. as confrontational as possible. hasn't that been what's happened over the past six, seven years? >> it depends what he means. he's a smart guy, and i'm glad we have him in the senate. and if what we're looking at is in fact obama issuing this executive amnesty, then i agree 100% with ted cruz. if he's talking about ways to overturn obamacare, i agree 100%. and i think republicans will and i'm glad they have people like cruz pushing them to that. because i must say that

, where this thing stops, where pat brown -- scott brown wins in new hampshire, if that happens,going to be a disaster. >> you think he will, pat? i don't. >> all of the momentum seemed to have stopped up there, and north carolina is hanging, i still think hagan will lose that. >> we'll have more political insiders, plus your tweets, stay with us. y burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm... amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief. iprise asked people a simple question: in retirement, will you outlive your money? uhhh. no, that can't happen. that's the thing, you don't know how long it has to last. everyone has retirement questions. so ameriprise created the exclusive.. confident retirement approach. now you and your ameripise advisor can get the real answers you need. well, knowing gives you confidence. start building your confident retirement today. tthat's why i take metabiotic,ed toa daily probiotic. health. new multihealth metabiotic with bi

face republican scott brown. of course the former senator from is a chooses who gained national fame during an upset win in the 2010 special election. he went on to lose in 2012. he moved north in new hampshire and fighting another senate battle for the g.o.p. former new hampshire governor works to remind voters, he has been fighting that label working to tie her to president obama. the voters will make the call. we spoke to them this morning. >> he can serve as well, honestly i don't like her, don't like her positions with obama. and how she voted. >> i feel she has shown by her record she is very capable of leading our state. >> interesting thoughts from some of the new hampshire voters hitting the polls this morning. this will be one of the races should we get those results we will see them later on tonight. one of the first reall we coulda definitive decision and we could know where things are headed this evening. heather: will be sure to catch scott brown with neil cavuto today on the fox news channel. jon:

neil: yeah, scott brown. >> he had an uphill battle. gene shaheen, she's a formidable opponent. easy race to win. mike brown picked up a seat. shelly in west virginia. we feel pretty darn good about things. i feel good about cory gardner. feel good about louisiana in the runoff. i feel like we'll have a shot at picking up the senate and it will be a good night for republicans. neil: all the guys you were campaigning for won, and i'm wondering whether you're the kingmaker. >> yeah, i campaign with a lot of candidates around the country. and i feel very good. we have fantastic candidates this year. what's happening, neil, it's not just the obama administration that voters are responding to, but the incompetence of big government that they're responding to. you have to understand in 2012, the problem, it was our word against their word. it was the promise of big government. the president delayed putting his program until 2014. obamacare, dodd-frank. those didn't take place until 2013. now, they took place. now, people see what big government looks like. it's incompetent. it's domin

foster daily democrat, one of the largest newspapers points out that although scott brown has been populare's been successful in making it a national referendum. here is the quote from the paper. brown has been relentless joining me now msnbc political correspondent kaci hunt. in the case of louisiana and georgia the governor believed there was a certain amount of race of being factor in how some voters see the president in those states that have gone red. but that can't be said or can it for new hampshire? does it seem to be the case? >> not as much. the president is terribly unpopular in new hampshire. it's a shift he's run there twice. we should remember they didn't go for him in 2008. they went instead for hillary clinton. that tell s us part of the stor. new hampshire is a state that is very us is suspectble of the national mood. we've seen the national mood sour in the final week of the campaign. scout brown very successfully capitalized on the idea that voters are anxious. isis, ebola, those are things that, you know, in new hampshire can resonate. there's a a lot of veterans in new

scott brown just made history.is now the first person in american history to have lost senate races to two different women. we've got some news in terms of governors races. do we have governors now in terms of polls that just closed? at 9:00 p.m. the wisconsin governor's race. this, of course is a very closely watched race. scott walker the embattled republican incumbent facing off against democrat mary burke. nbc news is characterizing this as too close to call. in the kansas governor's race the republican, proud conservative governor there sam brownback in a race against democrat named paul davis. this one just 9% of the vote. too close to call in the deep red state of kansas. in the colorado governor's race the democratic incumbent there is john hickenlooper. his opponent is bob beauprez. this one is too early to call in colorado. in michigan the governor's race about 11% in there, the republican incumbent there is rick snyder he's facing off against democratic challenger mark schauer. this one is too early to c

a new poll has it even inching ahead of scott brown with so many other tough races later in the nightow much concern into democrats have about this one? >> they are more nervous than they expected to be. >> it was supposed to be scott brown who was not supposed to be a senator and a run for her money. because it's early in the night and how bad the night will be for democrats. if we see that jean shaheen is a point or two above scott brown, i think everybody will breathe a sigh of relief. if this is a place where republicans win at the outset and scott brown is ahead of this and it's clear he will come out on top, there is almost no way for democrats to keep the senate if they are losing in new hampshire in the first hours. >> we will crystal ball it with you for a second. we may be at this for weeks without a clear winner. if no one in louisiana or georgia reaches that 50% mark as we have been reporting, we will be looking at run offs. they can pull off a surprise win like they did several months ago. it was a different dynamic. democratic voters, their base minority voters and singl

incumbent democrat jeanne shaheen against scott brown, the former republican senator from massachusetts. for the dems, this seat is a must keep or their path to the majority gets even steeper. cnn's brian todd is in manchester. >> reporter: the senate race here in new hampshire is as tight as any race in the country. and voter turnout is key, depending on what poll you're looking at, scott brown, the republican challenger, may be ahead by two points going into today, or the democratic incumbent jeanne shaheen might be ahead. this is a crucial state for the overall balance of power in the senate. republicans looking to pick off a democratic incumbent. and voter turnout, absolutely crucial here at this ward one's polling station in new hampshire. you come in in manchester, new hampshire, and you sign in, get your poker chip. then you get your ballot. this is old-school voting. you fill in the ballot in one of those booths, you put it in a tabulator and then they take it to city hall. very little absentee balloting. there's no early voting here. so it's all old-school voting, day of. a raz

scott brown said. i am pro-choice and that is not how he goes.cott brown sponsored a bill so employers could deny women for birth control. and force them to look at color photographs of developing fetuses. democrats gave them a top score of 80 out of 100 and republicans 64. >> senator sheehan uses the attack by republicans. and it does well. >> brown responded on camera. >> they are calling it in question the support for women's health care and i want you to know the facts. i am pro-choice and i support continued funding of planned parent hood. senator sheheen said it was not a smear and brown's response sidestepped the allegation. employers can't be forced to cover services if they have a religious or moral objection. and co-sponsored a massachusetts bill that would have required a 24 hour waiting. they are unable to get an abortion without acknowledging in writing they didn't receive descriptions including covered photos. and democrats like brown's more than republicans. >> and when you saw him doing that response, you want to get off of the de

let's talk about from the beginning, we have senator scott brown, the former senator from massachusettsoming over the border from, of course, the south, to challenge democratic senator jeanne shaheen, brown first gained national fame here in the 20 -- to fill the seat that was left vacant by senator ted kennedy. he went on to lose in 2012 against now senator elizabeth warr warren, and shaheen, also the former governor here in new hampshire working to remind voters of just that fact, we are waiting for the polls to close, it will not happen until 8:00 tonight. >> virginia, vermont and kentucky, six states ready to close their polls at the top of the hour. >> you're looking at senator majority leader mitch mcconnell's campaign headquarters in kentucky. could he become the next majority leader by the end of the night? >>> plus president obama's name is not on the ballot, but is this election all about him? >> make no mistake i these policies are on the ballot, every single one of them. i have the worst cold with this runny nose. i better take something. dayquill cold and flu doesn't treat

a few minutes ago, scott brown called to concede and wish me well. scott brown ran a vigorous race, and i wish him and gail and their family all the best. i am so proud to once again be able to represent the people of new hampshire in the united states senate. [cheers and applause] thank you. i promise you i will work with anyone in the senate -- democrat, republican, independent -- to get things done, to help new hampshire's working families and our small businesses. with the new term you have given me, i will fight to make sure that students can refinance their student loans. >> thank you! >> i will fight for a smart energy policy that focuses on efficiency and new energy technology. to end our reliance on oil and coal and fossil fuels. i will fight for a minimum wage -- [cheers and applause] that ensures that no one working 40 hours a week is stuck living in poverty. and i will fight for equal pay for equal work for women. [cheers and applause] i will fight for smart, serious, national security policies that keep us safe. >> thank you. >> and i wi

beat scott brown there. kay hagan has to hold on in north carolina. and a break with an independent who will probably go with them, greg orman, we just talked about. after that, i'm wondering how they get the two more they need. >> let's go to the big board. let's take a look at what i think would be the most likely path for the democrats to retain the senate. start with two assumptions. for the republicans, kentucky, looking good for mcconnell. and arkansas. move those over. new hampshire and north carolina, move that over. the big if in kansas, say orman wins and goes with the democrats. the republicans then at 47. this says 46. you have to remember, there are two independents, king in maine, sanders in vermont, caucusing with the dems. that's 48. add two. which means the democrats are two short of what they need, they need 50. there are five states on the board right now. the bad news for democrats, in each of these five states, they're behind in the polling. so what is the most likely way they can get there? colorado, udall is running behind in th

it will come down to the wire. >> what is behind the late surge for scott browne? think his message begun to connect a little bit more. his focus on making sure people connect shaheen with president obama who has become unpopular in the state. i think over time that message has begun to trickle down to more and more voters and if she's successful tonight i think it will be because he worked so hard to make that message that a vote for shaheen a continue what obama is doing. shaheen worked to localize the race and make it about what she said she has done for the state over time working to get this bridge built or the federal prison built that had this many jobs. we'll see which message comes back. >> the polls close at 8:00 p.m. eastern in new hampshire. they close 7:30 eastern time and if the first read team is right we'll see the stage set one way or the other. >>> and disturb video of what police are calling an abduction in philadelphia. this tops a few stories we're following outside of politics news around the nation today. happened late sunday night. this was

brian, the democrat incumbent jeanne shaheen is facing scott brown.that senate battle in massachusetts. why has this race become a dead heat? why is this such a must keep for the dems tonight? >> reporter: it's a must keep because of what you just mentioned. the republicans need six seats net gain to retake control of the senate. three of those are considered sure things. three others are consider likely. that leaves no margin for defeat for the democrats and this is a place where the democrat incumbent is vulnerable. jeanne shaheen is in a virtual tie with scott brown going into today. he's' head by maybe two points, on another poll, scott brown is ahead by two points. it is a razor thin margin. this is a must keep for the democrats tonight and it is razor thin, erin. >> thank you very much. i want to go to nick valencia in lawrenceville, georgia. nick, there's a libertarian candidate that could throw a wrench into this entire race. maybe through the entire country until potential disarray. this race could last a long time? >>. >> reporter: well peop

scott brown.night when in every contested senate race they won whether they were challenges come incumbents. scott brown the only one to lose. >> if he had one, he would've been the kingmaker for the primary. >> now he cannot go back. cannot really run again in new hampshire. the only option for him is nova scotia. >> my loser is harry reid. not only not going to be majority leader, his party was wiped out in his home state including the lieutenant governor's race, which means the current governor is now freed up to run again if he does run for reelection. he also loses leverage over the white house because they will still talk to him but now the big deals will be done with the president macconnell. >> you think there will be a minority contest? >> i don't. you look at the morning paper's him he is a war with the white house. disastrous for everybody involved. >> people in his office openly quoted him in a story. >> he will have to adjust to a new reality. i am not sure he is the world's best adju

scott brown responded exactly right. he said we need to listen to the generals and we need to do what we have known historically to treat americans as liberating forces not occupying forces. i think it reveals that the democrats who support the obama administration view of america's role in the world have it exactly backwards and i think the voters are going to tell us that on tuesday. >> we have not had a terrorist attack in this country during his administration except for the allegedly planted bombs at the marathon and clearly he killed osama bin laden. so why this disquieted uncertainty and unease? >> well, we've had a number of other terrorist attacks. like in ford hood and murders we've seen around the country. the killing of osama bin laden happened to reach fruition during the obama presidency. i think the american people don't buy the president's argument. they've seen too many examples of americans being threatened. in libya two years ago, seeing isis rise with no effective american response, seeing people mask

razor close margin with jean shaheen and scott brown more or less tied in the recent polls. osticators say this leans democratic. brown has tried to tie her to president obama. just like other republicans this election cycle. he has run ads highlights the threats from isis and ebola. >>> also too close to call, the senate race in colorado. a poll released monday shows the democratic incumbent mark udall perhaps making a last minute surge against cory gardner. last week, this poll had him up 3.5 margin of error. >>> one of the tightest races in the country is iowa. so tight, taylor swift has come up an an issue. joni ernst against bruce braley. and harkin interjecting unintended controversy this weekend. cnn's pamela brown is in iowa with more. >> reporter: john and christine. the stakes are high for the race in iowa. whoever wins today, could tip the balance of power in the senate. it has been a very tight race. extremely competitive. neck and neck. it remains a toss up. a record number of iowans have voted early this year. more than 400,000. the democrats have had a steady a

. >> what about scott brown and senator shaheen in new hampshire? >> it's very tight. literally a month and a half ago no one thought, including reince priebus who runs the republican national committee thought scott brown was going to take shaheen down. she is a former governor. if we see that he's won that race early in the night, that's a bad sign for the rest of them. >> it's bad sign because he's been in massachusetts for a long time. if they're going to abandon their governor for essentially almost a newcomer, that's a bad message. >> she's a strong candidate. >> but he's new. >> it will be impressive if he pulls it off. north carolina, you can see that flipping. >> panel, stay with us. >>> you're going to hear what vice-president biden just said !!! >>> today republican senate jody ernst firing back after tock ha2ájz compares her to taylor swift. you heard right. taylor swift. >> i have been watching some of these ads and they're sort of the sense that you know what, joni ernst is really attractive and she sounds nice. well, i got a thinking about that. i don't

was interesting this weekend when hillary clinton went there and somebody was complaining about scott brown being a carpet bagger and she nodded her head along, as if she hadn't done the same thing in new york city, it's not like this is unprecedented. and also if you think about that debate last week where the moderator messed up and these had to apologize to scott brown later, i think that we don't know how social media factors in, an apology like that, you don't see the corrections in the newspaper after a bad story run. but with social media, that could be changing some of these races. >> crowley, new hampshire. >> it sounds worse than it really is. okm,xxhpqbuovca%ñobmjkf0hémuj> that would be amazing if he does win, that will tell the tale for the night. >> the ones that are really hotly contested, like north carolina, where tom tillis and kay hagan have gone back and forth. moving her again way down the east coast, the two states that are the best chance for a democrat to pick up would be new hampshire, north carolina. bob tell us about kay hagan, thoughts? >> hagan has grown cons
