we just had sherrod brown.y the way, a lead over josh mandel, the very young opponent of five points. i think that should be so much higher. what's going on out there? >> again, i think you have some presidential head winds. you have so so much money. sherrod brown has told you i think numerous times he's had more outside money spent against him than any other democratic senator so that has taken its toll, but josh mandel has had some missteps. there's some perception that he's a little too young, not really ready for prime time, and that's what's given brown an edge there. i think brown ends up winning that race. >> i thought he was perfect for that state, sherrod brown. thanks david catanese from politico. in missouri incumbent democratic senator claire mccaskill leads todd akin by five points. the campaign just dropped a devastating ad. let's watch the latest mccaskill ad. here it is. >> is todd akin fit to serve in the senate? mitt romney doesn't think so. >> what he said was indefensible, was wrong. it was

because if you can do it in this election, with show much money thrown against your senator, sherrod brown, the governor, of course, and the secretary of state, both republicans, what does that tell you? is this the template? >> it is, ed. and it shows that when good people get together for righteous causes, we can make a difference. you know, especially in senator sherrod brown's race, we show the republicans that money can't buy you love. >> what about the demographics in south florida, annette? this really played big. and i said all along that, in fact, we went down there and covered this, that the bread basket of victory was going to be south florida. that they had to be a huge turnout in the latino and african-american community. and that is exactly what happened. now, the state hasn't been called yet, but how did the demographics play into this election? >> it played a huge role. and as a matter of fact, we, both african-american and hispanics, turned out in huge numbers. as of 1:00 last night, in the morning, or this morning, i should say, we were still voting i mean, people w

and actually get to core principles and if the winner yeah and indeed sherrod brown yesterday won his senate seat or kept his senate seat bernie sanders kept his senate seat both of them have been campaigning as part of their campaign basically not explicitly endorse the move to amend so much but they had. petitions on their websites to to amend the constitution i don't think either of them were as comprehensive as moved to amends and and i and i know that both of them are reevaluating that issue and looking at making the more comprehensive but this this seems to be a a real winning strategy for politicians are you starting to sense that this is starting to get some political mojo beyond i mean sherrod brown a bernie sanders are considered the liberals right but has it gone beyond that. well you know let's put it this way tom again to rank in file republicans are with us on this rank and file democrats are with us on this independence on are with us on this i want to give a real acknowledgement to not just shared brown and bernie sanders but also a shout out to elizabeth warren and al

sherrod brown and jon tester both won, held on to their seats.ocrats won a senate seat in north dakota, of all places, a seat that nobody thought they could win. all of these states that had this hugely aggressive total republican takeover from the 2010 elections, ohio and wisconsin, and michigan, and pennsylvania and virginia and florida, all of those states that went so red in state government in these past couple of years and that then had these big fights inside their states over how republicans were governing there, in ohio, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, virginia, and we will see about florida, last night not only did republicans lose the presidential election in every single one of those states, republicans lost the senate race in every single one of those states too. sherrod brown, tammy baldwin, debbie stabenow, bob casey, tim kaine, bill nelson. depending on florida, a democratic sweep of the presidency, and definitely a democratic sweep of the senate races. in those states that the gop was so excited to have supposedly turned red i

largely because of the senator who is taking the podium soon, sherrod brown. this is one of the hidden stories of ohio. we've heard a lot about the auto bailout being successful here. sherrod brown is still a very powerful organization of working class democrats who in the past have sometimes gone republican. this year, they're holding obama up is making him look pretty good in ohio is that he's got these working class white voters that he lacks in some other states. >> well, it is interesting, aaron, when i was talking to both the romney and obama campaign folks here in columbus yesterday, they said they're going to be watching not suburban columbus, but cuyahoga county and a lot of those working class voters, of course, also african-american voters, but they're looking at the margins in some of those places like barack obama talk about the importance of those votes. >> let me point out about cuyahoga county. president obama beat john mccain in 2008 in cuyahoga county by a larger number of votes and he won the entire state. so it's really important for cuyaho

race that's a lot of corporate money dumped into it to elect tea partier josh mendell but they lost sherrod brown is going to remain in the senate in pennsylvania bob casey went to the senate seat over tom smith this is another senate race republicans hope to win they lose that interesting story coming out of maine maine is where libya snowe the republican senator kind of a moderate she retired and independent has won maine angus king he's expected to caucus with the democrats so that's really a pick up for the democrats in the senate and we can also now report this is a big win for progressives here elizabeth warren has now won massachusetts. and also we're getting this is this is really huge actually i mean this was ted kennedy's seat scott brown won in two thousand and ten when the tea party revolt and it looks like two years later elizabeth warren is going to reclaim it for democrats shifting the party a little bit to the left in the senate are also getting killed conflicting reports out of wisconsin. we had some news outlets reported as over some are still too close to call but tammy b

. >>> senator sherrod brown of ohio joins us straight ahead. stay with us. >>> what these democrats have in mind is a change for the purpose of consolidating their own power and further marginalizing the minority voices the senate was built to protect. >> republican senator mitch mcconnell today on why democrats should not change the senate rules in order to stop his minority republican party from controlling what happens in the senate. joining us now for the interview is sherrod brown, senator from ohio who just won reelection, even though he got buried in ads run against him. senator brown, congratulations on your reelection. i haven't seen you since. >> thank you, rachel. and i heard you call the race on your show, so thank you. >> ta da! if you are going to be in the senate for another six years now, i have to ask you directly, should the rules in the senate change there on day one in january? >> yeah, absolutely. the same gentleman you just listened to, mitch mcconnell, talked about the dysfunction in the senate. that's what's happened the

senator sherrod brown. we have nina turner coming up later on. >> i love watching nina on your show. >> i get you passionate ohio folks mixed up. >> that's okay. >> sherrod brown with us and mary kay henry, president of the services employment international union who met with the president today. i would be remiss, mary kay, if i did not ask you right off the bat, did the president say he was not going to budge on taxes? he did it once in 2010, and he won't do it again? >> the president was incredibly serious and focused and really relieved to hear that we are going to keep our ground game going, that our working people and community members all across this country are ready to have this fight and want to have the middle class tax cuts permanently extended. that's the action that congress can take right now. and then work together to make sure that the wealthiest americans pay their fair share so we can get back to work. >> well, did he tell the group that he was not going to budge on taxes? >> he was cryst

we talking these things and try to understand why people. >> just to remind people, shirley sherrod wasagricultural official who was the focus of a deceptively edited video who made her appear to be racist when she was just the opposite. the next day he apologized and said he hadn't done his home work. when you say it's a consistent programming strategy, you're not saying it's the individual hosts that you have a problem with but the whole network demonizes the black people and that seems overstated. >> well in the book i did point out that built o'reilly did apologize about her but there were others. and in that chapter, i point out several different instances where fox hosts seemed to cross the line in terms of talking about scary black people and either offered these sort of very unofficial apologies that were not disciplined. and i think when you see something happen over and over and over again and i've been talking about how bill o'reilly talks about race on fox, since 2002, and when you see something like this happen again and again and again and people are not significantly disc

let's start with sherrod brown. how tight's this race?dential race is close, but i think the president clearly ahead by a little bit. i think the romney effort on that jeep ad which was clearly in many ways immorally false because it scared a whole bunch of jeep workers in toledo, some of which i talked to in toledo and i think that says the a mar of desperation. we've seen unemployment drop 3.5 points since the auto rescue really took hold. it's not good enough, but it's going in the right direction. i think that worries the romney camp, but frankly, t a celebration for ohio. >> let me ask you to be a strategist for a minute and not a partisan. are we going to have a new president on tuesday night? will it be wednesday morning? sometime after that when some challenges are made in places like ohio? >> i think we'll have, we're not going to have a new president. we'll have the same president again. i think on election night, i think the president once ohio, there may be some hanky pankey at the polls close, but i think the president wins o

in ohio sherrod brown won over josh mendel. and in maine, independ angous king easily won the state's u.s. senate seat currently held by olympia snow. the one notable senate pickup for republicans in nebraska where deb fischer flibed ben nelson's seat defeating bob kerrey. democrats hold 51 seats and harry reid already called on republicans to end their "strategy of obstruction gridlock and delay." we're still waiting for the official results from the races in montana, nevada, and north dakota. mark halpern, if we go back to the top of that list, elizabeth warren versus scott brown, tight all the way. what did elizabeth warren do in the end to win? >> she ran as a democrat in a state where the president won by a big margin. >> that helps. >> very difficult. they knew if the president won by 20 seats or more, it will be difficult to overcome. she made very few mistakes. and now she'll become one of the leading voices in the senate for progressives around the country. >> what does she bring to the senate? >> she brings that passi

. >> sherrod brown, casey in pennsylvania. >> any upsets? >> the one that could be is kerrey in nebraska, which nobody would have predicted. capt.gotten -- >> medal of honor winner. >> is endorsement of the chuck hagel and alan simpson, serious republican leaders during the day and the senate. >> close in the poll. connecticut -- linda mcmahon's second race, millions of dollars doesn't do it. joe donnelly in indiana and not against mourdock -- hanging on against mourdock, the tea party candidate. jon tester in an absolute dead heat -- >> heidekamp, the long shot parcourse in north dakota, a perfect candidate, basically even with the republic -- terrific candidate, basically even with the republican candidate. mccaskill is close, i think. >> to use t -- do you see much ticket splitting? a vote for obama or romney and then republican or democrat? >> i think we are in more plus n -- allies nation. >> ticket splitting would be helpful to romney, if the democrats held the senate, because romney could say to the crazies and his party that i have t

democrats are not worried about sherrod brown. but republicans say we show it much closer.ls it out. >> in the house, in florida particularly, you have some really controversial candidates. one is very outspoken tea party republican allen west and the other is allen grayson, running to return to the house. >> any state that could elect either one is an accepting and forgiving electorate or they can't make up their minds. allen west has actually put up his opponent's mug shot from when he was 19 years old and that's unprecedented. most tea party representatives, no matter how controversial they are, will be re-elected. >> what about harry reid in nevada? we've seen that he has a machine in nevada and can deliver. >> he has spent a decade putting together a real democratic machine there. it saved him in 2010 and allowed him to win re-election. and i think that it looks like the state leans towards president obama. but the senate race, the republican has a bit of an advantage there. the problem is that the democratic candidate is not a perfect candidate. she's under investigat
