i don't see how they can see a consensus center right country having to get that one in the in the indiana senate race there was a consensus because because donnelly also believes that. that is the pro-life position in case of rape and so he actually agreed with murdoch but that never came up well i don't think he was quite that i was unfortunate it was an abortion but if so that's that to tie it to another example of immigration except on health care on the economy these are all positions of the american people disagree with obama and they're going to not but the math on immigration on health care all of it was in majority of americans actually want comprehensive immigration reform the majority of the exit polling last night sixty two percent of americans want to increase in taxes the math is very similar and math is very simple but if you look at how the popular vote broke. there is a two million vote gap between president obama and mitt romney so it's not if there isn't some sort of sweeping indicator that says the worse and worse the country you know when you look at who voted for romn

nbc news, let's recap right now, has projected that mitt romney is the winner in the state of indiana. and there you see 11 electoral votes in the romney column. nbc news also projecting mitt romney the winner in the state of kentucky with 8 electoral votes based on 5% of the polling data in. president obama is the projected winner in vermont as expected. that is 3 electoral votes. >> we still have too early to call in georgia according to nbc news, that is the same case in south carolina, too early to call, and in virginia, it is too close to call according to nbc news. so again, we are waiting on virginia and you mentioned a great point because virginia has been obama territory for so long. >> it was in the last election and as i said, larry, the new virginia is different from the old virginia. much more of the vote concentrated in those suburben and increasingly urban feeling counties in northern virginia. >> we have our all stars right here, larry kudlow, steve liesman and rick santelli. brian sullivan with us from democracy plaza in new york city. >> on the virginia thing, absolu

there has been a little bit of dust up in the senate race in indiana. >> heard a rumor. >> stephen: yes, mr. mourdock has raised some hackles by saying on the sensitive issue of abortion that if someone gets pregnant from a rape, that was intended to happen by god. okay. are you endorsing pour dock for senate? >> i'm a noncombatant, actually, in deference to my new job at purdue. >> stephen: i am. >> i'm not trying to dodge the question. >> stephen: you're not trying to but are you. >> on some justification on the day i accepted the new job at purdue with their nonpartisan status i said i would recuse myself from anything partisan, and i have. i haven't taken any roll in the campaign for or against anybody, as sort of a vow of political celibacy. >> stephen: okay, why an more republicans taking that vow when it comes to the word "rape" because last night we talked about this on the show. okay, i'm a conservative, people have their own feelings about abortion. i have been very clear how i feel about it on this show. >> but listen, i guess i would say this and the book says this, incident

the magic wall. we're starting to get results in kentucky and indiana, tiny results, 2% of the vote. o show you a little place in indiana. viggo county, 1.7% of the population. i'm going to look here later tonight for trivial purposes. only twice since 1888 has vigo county been wrong in picking a president. why? good question, but since the 1950s, this county has been right. it's filling in blue at the moment. look at that. that's only 17% of the vote. we'll see how it goes tonight, but you watch it blue now, we'll see if vigo county's streak continues. >> could be a bellwether, could be an indication of what's going on. we'll watch all these states, all these counties, all these polling precincts very closely. >> who knew, as vigo county goes, so goes the country. often said. let's check in with your o contributors, alex castellanos, a republican. what are you looking at tonight, what are you seeing in those numbers so far from the exit polls? >> well, that we're going to have a long night, i guess p. >> that's going to be the most overused phrase, by the way, of tonight. "long night

but it's very early, only 4% of the vote is in. in indiana, 6% of the vote is in. mitt romney has an impressive lead so far. 58% to 40%. but it's still very early. those 11 electoral votes in indiana still up in the air. we have not made a projection in indiana. let's bring in some of our reporters in the battle ground states. brian todd is in nashua, new hampshire. brian, first to you. what's going on over there? >> reporter: wolf, big story in new hampshire. voter registration, same-day voters. look at the line here in nashua, precinct 3. this goes out the door. they want to prevent people from waiting in the cold. goes all the way down the hall here. same-day registration voters, it's gotten so big here as far as the wait here and in salem and manchester, they have had to at least in nashua, i'm told by the city clerk, they have had to deputize volunteers from both campaigns to help process people through. and, again, these aren't people who are already registered much these are people here who are registering for the first time to vote in this precinct or regist

after a tea party primary cost senator richard lugar his senate job, the republican candidate in indiana up being the guy on the left side of your screen richard mourdock. he's up against joe donnelly. since he made his rape comment at a debate a few weeks ago, in very, very, very, very red state indiana, the republican candidate is now behind in that state senate race. he's losing the race by double digits. here's the interesting thing about that poll to. it's a poll in indiana, which almost never happens. it's really weird, but nobody nationally never knows what's going on in indiana politics because they don't poll in indiana. in indiana, it's illegal to make automated calls for telemarketing purposes and for public opinion surveys like polling. you can't use an auto dialing device unless the subscriber has consented to being contacted or a live operator gets on the line and gets consent that way. since it make s it hard and expensive, there's little polling in indiana. but while we're on the subject of weird details, check out this ballot in north carolina. it's more than a dozen sta

show him, do not talk. >>> everybody in this row, you need to stand up against the wall. >> with a recent stabbing at indiana state prison, officers are stepping up searches for weapons. >> sir, i need you to step over here. >> the procedure is monitored by internal affairs officer will mcginnis. >> okay. there's the officers shaking down in "e" dorm. they're going through -- underneath the bed, the mattress, personal property. and looks like something was found. the officer is reaching for his cuffs. you see him restraining the offender. >> the offender is josh harrison. >> i disappointed a lot of people in my life. i let a lot of people down. this is my wife, my wife. that's my daughter, that's my son, the twins. my mom, she's -- i got caught with a knife. >> this is a shank that was turned in from possession of offender harrison. "e" dorm east. and as you can see here, that's a pretty lengthy piece of iron there. it's got a pretty good point on the end of that. it could do some pretty severe damage, especially if that came up through a rib or a kidney or a lung. >> i got another really good friend that ca

if you look at the indiana race that y n just by independence and democratic lso significant portionsarty as one4o other thing, terms of a skree-upor seople really care about the supreme court and thew: prospect of a republican president in the supreme court and having a republican >> prosecuted that case8 against republican senate. elizabeth warn prosecuted that case brilliantly. >> i want to go to jonathan some news about the race in florida specifically.an you tell us?rachel. anybody at inside the obama headquarters. ú but they arey surprisingly t thew# state of florida. they believe that at thtjat theil outstanding votes that have not been counted yet that are in broward and heavily counties. so they believe the late t in heavily for obama, and that gives them w they see as an stateç2 put jon-ñnk >> brown when he ran. truck and he ran around the state saying i'm the guy. i'm the guy that could go the car commerci next door/d neighbor. through his tenure in the never held one town >> i think whoever is going to be presi5dent savor probably choose another supreme court was -- cer

but then there is the state of indiana. "fox news" now projects governor mitt romney will win the state of indiana which president obama did win four years ago. that's a turnover. 5% of the votes in but the model suggests to us it is good gh to mitt romney according to the "fox news" decision team has won the state of indiana. "fox news" also projects governor romney will win in the bluegrass state kentucky with 4% of all precincts reporting. 2/3 of all voters are voting "fox news" ney and projects romney wins kentucky. outh too close to call in s carolina. none of the precincts are can project t we president obama will win in the state of vermont. six states where the polls have just closed. we've made calls in two of them. and in the others we can't yet make a call but they'll come. three important senate races among those that have just called. we have three in virginia, democrats are trying to hold tant seat.por for now that race is too close to call between kain and allen. this senate race will give us a lot of informat

i want to thank the senator, my senator from indiana for that kind introduction. morning members of the committee. -- chairman miller and members of the committee. first let me state how proud i am that you took on to have this p.o.w. empty chair and flag behind me. i understand this is not the first time and hope it's not the last time. -- i am the 10 this is the first time and i hope it is not the last time. on behalf of the 2.4 members of the american legion i appreciate the opportunity to testify before you this morning. i would like to introduce some of the national officers that will serve with me this year. as i call their names i ask they stand and be recognized. national vice commander -- david hall out of west virginia. glenn hickman department of ohio. james holland from south carolina, james from inform and -- new hampshire and ms. ray from --. sergeant of arms, a lpolito from indiana. dan a wheeler. and our national treasure. please stand and be recognized. thank you. \[applause] >> i would like to take a moment to acknowledge some men in the audience

this is the indiana senate race. name that has stirred some controversy, we have been watching this closely. he is trailing slightly to the democrat, but only 48% of precincts reporting, and it is still too close to call. the state of virginia as well as one we have watched closely. close one with the republican. there is an independent candidate here as well with the thinking was might get some numbers, but you can see apparently not playing much of a part. 31% of the votes are in, and so far, republican george allen with a slight lead, another name you might remember well. in the missouri senate race, clare macassar go and -- claire mccaskill and todd akin -- akin trailing. this is the one democrats did not seek to win anyway, and suddenly, they got a gift in their han still to close to call their, as it is in the state of massachusetts where they have pumped millions of dollars into the senate race. scott brown, the incumbent, the republican who won with his truck for last time around. elizabeth warren has come in

the democrat will hold. they will lose probably, definitely, north dakota and nebraska where bob kerry is coming back, but they very well might pick up indiana, benefit of richard mourdock and maine, angus king who is an independent and will caucus. you probably won't see a change. everyone believes the democrats will remain in control and that is not something, tom, they thought was going to happen at the start of the year. >> and let's look at the road map. mitt romney, three events in that virginia. the president heading out west to wisconsin, on the way to colorado and nevada. what do they do the next few days and what does it tell us about where they chose to travel on the few days remain something. >> there was a front-page story in the new york times. i think it's -- in terms of the latino vote. the president leads by 50 points and their idea is in colorado and nevada, a state which david axlerod said they would definitely win and a large latino vote in central florida, which is, when i was in the convention, tampa, the puerto ricans, not cuban americans, they want to draw the vote out. they know they're getting clobbered among white

i do not know with the actively worked together in indiana. i think for a long time we had this coalition where republicans and democrats are in the center and working together. we have these are on the extremes, we get very different policy. >> this was organic. there are too big issues, a teacher and valuations and reform about teachers in general. this happened to be two of the obama administration's top priorities. republicans won the state. the democrats showed up. they reelected it from it out there. democrats were there. that was a factor in tony bennett's defeat. republicans have a lot of angst about the common core. alan keyes voting on a resolution that is -- aleen keeps voted on a resolution that is against common core. that is a big deal. that pushed back is the thing to wastch. note how left behind, who did not vote for it? people on the far left or far right. it reasserted itself and indiana. that is the biggest moment in this election purity have a lot of folks that will be on ballots the next couple of years. fe are paying atten

this is no place for anybody to be. >> one of the benefits of indiana state prison's cat program is that inmates are motivated to behave because if they get sent to the hole, their cats stay behind. that's where darrell maymon comes in. >> friends that have cats, i go down and visit them and pet them and they see that i love animals. i'm not going to hurt their cat. that's the basic thing. because in here, cats -- like their buddies. you can get in worse trouble hurting somebody's cat than you can hurting an inmate. >> while maymon doesn't have a cat of his own, he keeps his cell cat-friendly in case the need for a sitter arrives. >> this is a cat bed. because they love to get up high. people come by and stick their hand in and pet it. that's pretty much it. >> for some inmates at isp, cats are the closest things they have to families. paul komyatti hasn't seen his family since he first came to prison 26 years ago. he's soon to be transferred to a work release program, a transitional step to freedom. but there's a snag. >> let's go over to the office and we'll sit down and talk about the

expand on all the products that they're gaining in buying lucasfilm - the "star wars" franchise, the "indiana jones" franchise. and you know if there's going to be a company that's going to be able to squeeze value out of this, they are the ones to do it. i think it's going to end up being a great deal for them. > > why did the stock sell off then? > > you know, they are issuing 40 million shares to help pay for this deal, so i think it's a mixture of that, and it's also, the stock did break a key support level. i think it's really important for the stock to hold the $47, $48 handle. but i think if you go out a few years and look back, i think you're going to see that this ended up being a really good deal for disney. > > would you be a buyer of the stock? > > you know, i would be a buyer. i'm going to wait and see what happens in the election season, kind of wait and hold off adding some new positions. but yes, $48, maybe even a little bit lower, i think that's a good buy for disney. > > what do you think about the overall market action yesterday, especially with the vix? what is the vix tel

>> yes, i do. >> in the ordnance of the laws of god and the state of indiana, i pronounce them husband kiss the glass. that's as best you can do. >> nah, they don't wash that around here. >> bye-bye. >> we're done. we're married. i love you so much.

tom the gibbon was putting up with this the other night on the indiana shoreline.ly close to this wave here i am very glad that everyone is safe. and poll sent us these beautiful shots not far from whitefish point isn't that gorgeous? in nice change of pace the deciduous has fallen. this is the time of year when we start getting cooler and we have been below normal seven consecutive days with a mix of clouds that are starting to break up tonight. that will allow the coldest night here in almost eight months. we have nearly five hours 293 minutes to be precise so you put those together in what happens is a big dome of cold air starts developing north that can penetrate south. we're going to get a disturbance off of the pacific that's the one that brings us clouds later tomorrow but more likely tomorrow night into saturday. it is cool out there now we are at 46 in chicago. get a little closer to the city and the warmth of the city and the water. blue island and lincoln park and 43 ad features. 43 at kenosha. that is the view from harvard. winds are light certainly li

the ones who wind up in the indiana juvenile justice system have a better chance than some others. not all states look at their juvenile populations with an eye on rehabilitation. >> that's what's really beautiful about the juvenile code in the state of indiana. we have -- oh my gosh, an arsenal of things we can, and services we can provide to children and families to really, you know, mend all their issues and you just keep trying. >> but there is a limit to what the courts can do when a juvenile continuously reappears at intake, seemingly worse off than the time before. >> michael, shane, you got your haircut. where is your glasses? i would never recognize you. you're in trouble again? you see somebody so young and innocent in one picture. and then it looks like they lived 20 different lives in such a short time. that's where we ask questions about the family life, health problems, drugs. are you high? when was the last time you smoked? >> i don't know. >> what do you mean you don't know? >> i don't know. >> yesterday? >> no. >> today? >> no. >> last week? >> no. >> for some reaso

get treatment done in a maximum security setting with these types of inmates, that it would be the indiana state prison that could do that. and the goal of the unit is to take guys who are unstable mentally, get them stabilized and get them through the programming with the ultimate goal of getting them back out and functioning in the general population. >> that's good. >> still hot. >> you wash your hands today? >> i've been 18 months clear of any kind of conduct report and i have never, the whole 12 years of me being in prison, been that long without a write-up. >> the prison recently notified beauchamp that his good behavior has earned him an earlier than expected release date. >> this is my freedom. these papers. and when i got that i cried for the first time in probably ten years. because, you know, it hit me, it's like, damn, my out date's there. i'm glad they had the program up here to where they're actually starting to help people with issues that we have instead of just medicating a person and letting them go on. >> how are you doing, mr. beachamp? >> just peachy. >> welcome to ano

the most important race that i would point to is the indiana race which is richard murdoch the tee partyublican who beat dick lugar in a primary versus joe donnelly the republican. or the democrat, excuse me. donnelly, according to a poll that came out today, has an 11-point lead. let me explain take a second to explain why i think this is the most important race. we have those fiscal cliff negotiations coming up after the election and before the beginning of the year. if obama wins re-election, obama is going to be negotiating with probably a republican house and with probably a democratic-controlled senate but a senate where there will be more than 40 republicans who could full filibuster. now if murdoch wins then every republican in the united states senate will be terrified of a primary from a murdoch type, they won't do a thing to compromise with the president. but if murdoch loses then a lot of republicans in the united states senate are going to say well, that kind of tea party politics doesn't work. i can repel such a challenge, and that gives them a little bit more room to maneu

clearly women did not like the language used in the indiana and missouri race. republicans have to look very hard at that and look at their primary process. because, i was talking to halle barber. former republican chairman. this republican primary did not serve they party well. it moved the party so far to the right. and it took -- mitt romney, too long to pivot back to mainstream, moderate, republican, consensus, that had been successful for the past decade. >> tom brokaw. talked to a prominent republican who said there has got to be a revivable middle of this party. >> i also heard from a republican operative. who said they're on line talking about how they retrenched the party. republicans watched, the kind of wild evenings on cable television, that pass for debates. and they went on too long. not just for the party but for the country as well. and the possibility fee you couyou -- you could have a third party movement, the tea party is not going to go away. i talked to people involved in the tea party and formation. they're going to run an insurgency. you m

we can estimate when all the votes are in. indiana will tippett's 11 electoral votes to of mitt romney. again, these are largely as expected. in vermont also as expected, barack obama wins the state of vermont. so, again, these are pretty much in line with what had been expected. the gubernatorial race there, hanging on and will likely be governor. there was that threat to challenge that. maybe split tickets along with of vermont line. that is not happening this year. it is not unusual, for example, to have a republican governor and in the case of lombardi sanders, an independent mayor. burlington and now, of course, an independent senator. he will easily win reelection tonight. that was never much in doubt. bernie sanders, practically a rock star in the state of vermont. still very early. we are in no way, shape, or form able to project averaging is going to go. that is very closely monitored. thirteen electoral votes, a state that had tipped to barack obama four years ago. very close. the poles remain very, very tight. in fact, unbe

the south. alabama, georgia, indiana which obama won last time. kentucky, mississippi, south carolina -- which a few cycles ago, it was a swing state. the map is smaller. kentucky, and in dc -- delaware, illinois, and his home state -- the last few presidents were in the white house on election night. he's in illinois. rhode island, maine, vermont. >> we will give you one suggestion. to make it easier to follow, grab a computer and we have these maps on politico.com where you can look at each state, live, as the results are reported. it goes into orur system. you can see the same data we are. it is a great equalizer evening. you look at the same information we are. we can tell you the body l anguage and -- i will tell you, the vast majority of email from republicans, they are not as confident as the traffic we get from the obama folks. he has to win so many states that are coin tosses. and they have to break his -- >> he has to win virginia. it is the cnaaranary in the coal mine. he needs to do well there. >> ohio, wisconsin -- it is predicated on

the latest returns. >> we have fight -- five states that brings mitt romney 3 electoral votes. indiana went to president obama four years but not this time, mitt romney has been declared the winner of indiana, 55 to 45%. take a look at kentucky, another win for mitt romney, 59 to 41%. again, no surprises here. these are states that didn't turn out any differently than projected. >> let's take another look at another state and that is the state of west virginia, you can see with the five electoral votes going to mitt romney. if you look here, you can see south carolina went to mitt romney. no big surprises. we want to take to you vermont that went to president obama. that too was expected. if you take a look at the map where we are focusing on is ohio. mitt romney capturing the neighboring states. a key battleground state, continuing to monitor the results, coming in by the minute, watching ohio and florida carefully. >> voters are voting on the legalizing of marijuana. this national trend and unusual one way this law enforcement has gotten involved in the campaign. >> another piece of
