the ones most impearled in this breakdown we have done. those back here from 2002 and if you go into much further back into the 1990s, that sort of thing, one of the reasons that you really want to watch those as the day goes on, these are people that have proven they can survive. these are people that year in, year out have won elections, they know how to get people out, they know how to win. if you start seeing these flip, you've got a real earth shattering election at work. >> when it comes to the top 100 that we're looking at, how to the determination made on what to watch? >> there's a lot involved in deciding why these are the important ones, number one if you had a district, let's look at the ohio first district, here we have a democrat who won the district, but look at the presidential race here, obama obama won by 55%, john mccain 44%. was it the nature of a district to be democratic or republican? if you have a district that is naturally a republican district, and it vote democratic, particularly in 2008, then you can see this was part of the barack obama wave. well, that has now changed, people are not so excited about the barack obama candidacy or the presidency, and the question is are the coat tails there anymore? we also looked at an overall big equation, how are they performing in the polls? have they been able to be re-elected before? have they been able to raise money? so throughout the day, every time we're over here, pay attention, as you see these change color in various areas, that will tell us the real nature, and you'll be able to tell us at a glance if you see a lot of these blues going red, then you'll say now we have a fair number, then you'll say, well that's what people predicted but it's not gone too far. >> it's been a long and nasty campaign, a lot of people say it really comes down to a referendum on president obama and his last two years in office. the latest cnn poll has a slight majority of american who is say they actually plan to vote for candidates who most oppose the preside president's policy. this is a major turn around from just a couple of months ago. >> what has been left now over the last two years for some republicans, independents and even some in the president's own party is disappointment. they feel the president has not delivered quickly enough on his promises and in particular, a lot of people concerned still about the number one issue and that is the economy, yes, the administration to their credit as they point out and the president has talked about out there on the campaign trail, once he came into office and realized the economy was going off the cliff as he likes to point out, but as voters go to the polls today, that is on their minds. so that is what is in their minds when they're voting and for this administration, the president has tried to change that thinking out there saying, listen, give us a chance, it's much more difficult than we anticipated, we're still trying to fix it, but a lot of people aren't buying it. >> we also have the president who already voted today. what he's he doing throughout the rest of the day? >> he did three interviews, national radio shows, including ry ryan sechrest an moamerican ido. obviously what the president is trying to do at the last minute here is trying to get as many voters out to the polls, the president this weekend was pointing out that if he can get energized, and get people out to vote like they did in 2008, then democrats can also do well in this election. >> it's getting the exposure, that's what it's all about. >> after you vote, turn on cnn, we'll be here bringing you up to the minute results and analysis. our live coverage begins tonight 7:00 p.m. eastern, and american morning picks up the coverage. accusations of a race-baiting robo call. a vote for -- returning blacks to the cotton fields of jim crow, he defended that last night on "a.c. 360." >> i grew up during that time, i experienced it firsthand, i know exactly what that situation is and i'm concerned that we will slip back into those days if we don't stand up and fight. i'm encouraging people to do something positive and that is to go out and vote, and i'm saying if you don't go out and vote, then you can slip back into the dhas noays that none o want to live through. >> several democratic and republican field offices across new hampshire also lost phone service last night. she sees all the hallmarks of a plot by al qaeda the arabian peninsula. she also told us that the u.s. is now extending a cargo ban on shipments from yemen and security teams from the u.s. are already in the country working with officials in yemen. a don't ask don't tell policy can be enforced that -- gay rights group that filed the suit may make an emergency appeal directly to the prkt. in indiana, beefing up security at election offices throughout the state. they're bringing in extra armed guards -- could have their unemployment benefits cut off. nationwide it's estimated that 2 million americans could lose their unemployment benefits unless congress authorizes another emergency extension by the ends of this month. >> and the long wait is over, the san francisco giants have won their first world series title since 1954, closing up the texas rangers in five games, their series clenching 3-1 victory last night set off a wild celebration on the field of arlington and the streets of san francisco. the giants will be honored with a ticker tape parade on wednesday. >> and they made quick work unfortunately of the rangers. ten minutes past the hour, rob marciano, is it going to nice as we head to the polls this morning? >> there is a spot that the weather's going to be rough or as you cross out to east texas and louisiana, the storm that you see behind me is going to be rolling east slowly, so where it's raining now, it's going to be slow to end, but north there, you're looking at warm and seasonal conditions, warm and toasty on the west coast. houston, new orleans up through dallas and east through shreveport, monroe, heading through jackson, mississippi. these storms earlier today were on the severe side as they head toward the lower texas coastline, through galveston, and lower corpus christi as well. houston just getting hammered right now with heavy, heavy rain. maybe lightning through the middle of the day. encroaching on atlanta, it will be dry in denver a los angeles 91 degrees. and again a lot of voters may very well be trying to cool off on the beaches, cool and wet across the pacific northwest, and there's a few more numbers for you to specifically invite you to the polls. 57 in minneapolis, it will be 45 degrees and dry weather expected in chicago. more updates on this plus thunderstorm tomas, still eyeing hispaniola, we'll have the forecast track from the national hurricane center in just a few minutes. >> the white house is really hurting the state of ohio. carol costello joins us live with dotes after a quick break, 12 minutes past the hour.

>> it's all democrat now and it's poised to become all democra republicans. that governor's race is very close here. it's possible that we won't know who is governor of the state of ohio by the end of the night. that's how close the race is. i'm in butler county which is near cincinnati. this is very much republican territory. john boehner is most assured of a win here and he's poised to be speaker of the house only if he takes majority of the house. he held this big rally for the republican goubernatorial candidate. john boehner was very much talking about president obama. >> you know while the president's been here a dozen times over the last year and ted strickland thinks it's about him. this is about president obama trying to get re-elected in two years. so if you want to send president obama a big, loud message, vote for john casey. >> and there was a huge cheer from the crowd. there is a democratic candidate running against john boehner, of course you don't hear much about him because the democrats don't even bother to pump any money into they campaign, his name is jason basouli, he was standing on the corner here in westchester and he's angry that the democrats are just laying down and taking it. >> this is a prime opportunity to attack one of they commanding generals. we should fight on every front and it a place we should have fought and it's a place democrats can be inspired to get up off the mats. we fight every race including john boehner. >> democrats are hoping that the voters are energized enough to come to the polls and the polls open at 6:30 eastern time. they're expecting maybe a 52% turnout and the weather should be good, it will be cool, but they're expecting no rain. >> we just heard a comment from the gentleman you just interviewed talking about energy. the president also took some heat from some of hissed adversarial enemies right now. >> it's become a battle and we're not really nice to our opponents so maybe we should expect to hear that sort of thing. but very definitely, people on both sides of the aisle feel they're in the trenches because the economy is so bad here in ohio. >> carol costello for us this morning. >>, so got a lot to talk about this morning, we're going to be on for the next four hours jawboning it. 19 minutes after the hour. ♪ ♪ i was young and i was stupid ♪ i had just turned 17 ♪ a harmonica and a box guitar ♪ ♪ in a canvas-covered wagon stuffed... ♪ [ male announcer ] while the world's been waiting on the electric car, maybe the whole time, the electric car has been waiting for this... the wattstation from ge. it's going to change the way we get to where we all want to go. ♪ i didn't think much of it till i took it apart ♪ [ male announcer ] nature is unique... ...authentic... ...pure... and also delicious. ♪ like nature valley. granola bars made with crunchy oats and pure honey. because natural is not only good, it also tastes good. nature valley -- 100% natural. 100% delicious. both housings of congress and 37 governor ships up for grabs this morning when america goes into the polls. many places are opening at the east coast, we have got the best political team on television this morning to make sense of it. starting with our cnn, senior political analyst ed rollins, leslie sanchez, independent -- the guy who wins all the time because he's an independent. daily beast columnist john avalon. and hillary rosen with us and kiki mclean. what's the outcome going to be today? >> 55 republicans i think win in the house, eight seats in the senate and if there's a rush across the country, we may get there. >> it's a wave, but it's not going to be a mandate. they'll take back control but they're going to find themselves a couple of weeks after the election more unpopular than even president obama. >> they have not closed this deal. they don't have the house in hand, even. they're early voting in nevada. >> i'm not laughing at you, i'm laughing at everybody's reaction. >> democrats are getting out there, the enthusiasm gap that everybody has predicted. >> election days we find out whether the polls are right. >> everybody's -- for months and months there,'s enthusiasm gap, democrats don't care, they're not going to vote, the amazing machine that was created in 2006 and 2008 has fallen apart, that has not proven to be the case and i think tonight people are going to be surprised. >> the first thing les tell everybody, go vote. i love election day, because this is a day we own the country. fourth of july is great about history. everybody's got their coffee this morning, i early voted yesterday, hillary's exactly right. there's millions of americans who did absentee or early voting. i think what's interesting, the enthusiasm gap that's become this phenomenon that may or may not exist, this game ain't over and when you show up, you make a difference. i would like -- it is a nationalized election. people want to send a message to the president. >> nationalized against pelosi, reid and the president. it's very rare in a midterm you're going to have that kind of organized effort, that's what's unique about it and the enthusiasm with respect to early voting, you have seen a lot more enthusiasm among republicans and independents. >> you're the guys again, he's the guy who always wins is the point you were making, but independents are also the ones who are going to decide the election. so where are independents going today, do you think? and i know every race is -- independents toward the gop, it's been going on for around 18 months. right now they have a 15% edge. if you take a big step back, what this election is about is independents largely saying, look, we like the checks and balances that divided government. when one party has control, it tends to leave to ideological overreach and overspending. >> but many people say what you're going to get this election will be nothing but gridlock. >> that's one of the things, about this incredibly polarized political imbalance that would normally say we're going to get republicans responsibility, so they just don't attack the president. >> tie us to the analysis game, do you think there's any way that democrats can hang on to the house? >> i mean there's always a possibility, but i wouldn't bet anything on it. i would actually modify, the shift from independents is towards republicans but it's not necessarily for republicans. this is a protest vote, it's been a protest vote for three cycles now. independents are going to the polls because they're unhappy with the economy. >> michael raises an interesting point, because when you look at following as much as two months ago, there was a lot of press around some focus groups that they did at walmart. as desperate and as broken hearts that those women were feeling about the economy, about the future for their children, anger at incumbents, there was a difference about how they felt about president obama and we see that in other polls so michael raises an interesting point, this is also not 100% protest vote against barack obama and republicans better be careful because i think we'll see surprises tonight. >> hold that thought, we'll get the good looking guy on the end to hold the thought, we'll take a quick break. stay with us. its great. i eat anything that i want. key lime pie, pineapple upside down cake. no, i've actually lost weight...

>> the wonderful thing about politics, there's winners and losers at the end of the day. tomorrow we will basically have a majority in the house and i think we'll basically be in a much better -- >> despite hillary's most enthusiastic predictions to the contrarisome. >> i have been on her side. you sit here and you get up in the morning, i don't believe the polls, but at the end of the day, it's a trend. it's not pro republican, it's an election about change and an election about anger and the country is not satisfied with what's going on today. >> what we have is a republican leadership that would be taking over that is not about new independent change, the ideas that they have put on the table are about going back to the same proposals that they had before and so the challenge is for people to understand that their hopes and dreams of change crushes the minute the elect sun is over. and i think that's the thing that democrats might have failed to draw as enough of a contrast between what you want as change versus what you're going to get. >> and what happens to these tea party candidates, let's say that ron paul wins and sharon angle wins, do they republican up against a -- >> they will be good conservative votes. there's very few moderates left in the senate and they'll become part of that group and most things will satisfy them. the party will become more fiscally conservative. they'll try and shrink government which is not easy and those are the things that the tea party people want. >> every election day, it's a choice, you go in and you're going to make a series of choices between two, and you look up and you say, what is it that i'm looking for out of this election? and independents are crucial at the end of the day, as analysts we recognize that. but the base for both parties, neither of whom have enough in their base have to show up and at the end of that process, they have to vote on what it is they want out of there. and right now if you want cooperation, if you want less hyper partisanship, whatever wins today you've got to hold them accountable. i hear democrats say to me sometimes, it's two years, let them have it. this is a big job, and my reaction is, i don't think we have two years to give. when you go out today, this ought not be an experimental vote. >> as an old running back, i would say give me the ball and let me run with it. >> democrats and especially bill clinton have been trying to say, this isn't a referendum, it's a choice. because they're trying to play off the fact that republicans don't have very high positives because they're building off essentially a no obama agenda. >> and that's -- the crucial thing is can you transition from essentially a no obama agenda and taking that ball and running forward? that's one of the most interesting things about winning this election. >> if they don't have a huge majority in the house. if speaker boehner comes in and he only has a margin of 10 or 15, rather than 30 or 40. >> will republicans spend the next two years trying to undo everything this administration has done for the last two effectively establishing gridlock in washington? >> it is a wakeup call to republicans because of the independent argument, to be fiscally responsible, to move measures that grow jobs and economic performance and ensure the u.s. is competitive. independents like the checks and balances, like divided government, they want more transparency, so to the extent republicans can hold the fiscal line, hold the power of the purse, i think they will be rewarded. >> if we learned the lesson of 2006 and i think we have, it's going to be whether the obama administration has learned the lessons of this election. >> we're going to come back to this, but there's really nothing in the republicans' proposal that talks about fiscal responsibility in any meaningful way. >> just listen to what mr. mcconnell has said who continues to operate. >> 37 minutes past the hour, we have plenty to get through the hour. it's only 5:37 here in new york. reports that former president clinton tried to convince the democratic candidate to drop out. we're going to have more on a live report from the state of of florida coming up. 37 minutes past the hour. being a leader means moving fast. across the country when the economy tumbled, jpmorgan chase set up new offices to work one-on-one with homeowners. since 2009, we've helped over 200,000 americans keep their homes. and we're reaching out to small businesses too, increasing our lending commitment this year to $10 billion and giving businesses the opportunity to ask for a second review if they feel their loan should have been approved. this is how recoveries happen. everyone doing their part. this is the way forward. exchange traded funds. some firms offer them "commission free." problem is they limit the choice of etfs to what makes financial sense to them. td ameritrade doesn't limit you to one brand of etfs... they offer more than 100... each selected by investment experts at morningstar associates. only at the etf market center at td ameritrade. before investing, carefully consider the fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. contact td ameritrade for a prospectus containing this and other information. read it carefully before investing. this is a special edition of "american morning," it's election day. at stake in this election, the balance of power in washington. and also in dozens of state houses including florida, the polls open at 7:00 eastern time and all eyes will be on this three-way senate race. republican marco rubio has been leading senator crist, and then you have kendrick meek answering questions about reported back room deals to try to get him to perhaps back out and throw his support behind crist. meanwhile the contenders to replace crist include democrat allen sink. amou a lot of big races and a lot of nail biters in the state of florida today? >> that's right, you have a lot of voters who are looking for relief as they come to the polls today. keep in mind, when we talk about a downturn in the economy, it is still downward turning here in florida. it actually went down .10% in september. it's now standing at 11.9%, a lot of people looking for relief. and florida also has the second highest rate of foreclosure in the country with one out of every 148 homes in some stage of foreclosure. so you have a lot of voters feeling very vulnerable right now, very dissatisfied with the economy and that's going to add up to a mix for any party that's in power. president obama did win florida two years ago, but since then his support has been eroding, partly because of the economy and also think what's happening just in the last year. we have seen the bp oil spill affecting the state of florida very dramatically and there's been a lot of dissatisfaction with wow the white house was handling the response to that, so this is something that's been added to this mix, again, a very volatile mix for democrats and we're seeing that playing out in all of the races top to bottom throughout florida. >> and you mentioned some of the key issues t foreclosure crisis, as i guess voters are registering their dissatisfaction. >> they're going to blame the party in power, the republican candidates here straight down the board, in addition to campaigning on the idea of jobs, jobs, jobs, the republicans are also campaigning against barack obama and they're getting a lot of traction doing that against their democratic opponents because of all the factors that i was just talking about, this is a very critical time as democrats try to turn around and try to push back against this trend, these economic trends that make it so hard for them to be getting votes, we're going to be watching a very close governor's race tonight with rick scott and allan sink. he's actually taking out tv ads to campaign directly against barack obama, directly against a mosque at ground zero. so we have seen him taking out expending a lot of political money and time going after barack obama as well as his democratic opponent. so wire also going to be watching that, as well as that drama you were talking about playing out in the senate race. did the democrats actually approach their own candidate to say maybe you should drop out so the independent charlie crist could have a better chance of beating the republican opponent. last night bill clinton campaigning with kendrick meek to try and erase those questions, but again today, on the voters minds will be jobs and those problems that affect them directly. everybody's going to be watching the voters here to see what they decide in this pivotal election. >> we get up to a chilly morning here in the northeast. rob marciano has got our travel forecast. and in ten minutes, christine romans breaks down the most important issues facing the country this election day. it's what minu45 minutes after . . like, wow, really?
