With senator pat roberts on why and how he hopes to hang on to his job. With former jack wells of what he makes of Hillary Clinton saying businesses dont create jobs. Shes dialed that back. Lets say that jack has not. And we have democratic congressman cleaver on his party scrambling. Indications that in georgia and iowa, it has managed to do that. It comes down to this, turning the numbers around. For republicans, they need a gain of six new seats. The construction that is going on outside the United States capitol will be as much a metaphor for what is going on inside that capitol. With the six seats, republicans would get control of senate and change the way the government is run, period. Democrats doing their best to make sure that doesnt happen. We are looking at a candidate in iowa who will be speaking with us very, very shortly. That poll is tight. Thats the case with 80 contests that could decide the future of the United States senate. First, we have carl cameron monitoring all the developments in a very crucial state in itself, kansas. He joins us now. Carl . Reporter how fitting. Days before the 2014 elections. Kansas was not supposed to be on the map of tight contested races, yet here we are. Pat roberts, the incumbent facing a tough challenge from greg orman a wealthy businessman. Hes trying to conceal it in a red state. We caught up with pat roberts. He had republican governors led by Chris Christie with him. Chris christie is the chair of the Governors Association looking at a 2016 campaign. Mike pence was also there as well as a number of others. Hailey barber, of mississippi took a shot saying he is basically a democrat and shouldnt be allowed to disguise himself as an independent. Take a listen. He is a contributor to barack obama. Hes a contributor to harry reid. When he helps barack obama and reid get elected, hes not going to help them in the senate . Hes an automatic vote for the democrats to take control of the senate or keep control of the senate. Hes been in washington for decades and criticized first in his republican primary by conservative Tea Party Candidate and now orman. Yesterday, orman was asked about the bus tour on which former republican robert dole, bob dole was on board and the 1996 president ial candidate. He ran for president three times. When orman was asked about the bus tour, he referred to it as a clown car. He didnt remember being called a clown. The last couple days could get a lot of negative attention. Even by democrats, hes hes an elderly gentleman and a huge part of the Republican Party. Its something people will talk about until election day. Neil . Im curious on orman. He says hes not a fan. Do you take that as face value as many republicans do not . Could they be alienating orman should he win all but encouraging him in chasing him to the other side . Reporter the first object is to beat him. He said he will caucus with whatever party has the majority. That raises a lot of questions on both sides. Kansas is one of the races to watch. We had polls that came out that show how close this is. Democrats that identify three battleground states are must wins. They included iowa. Its a onepoint race. They included North Carolina where the incumbent, kay hagen is in a battle. That race is a onepoint race. They are all margin situations. When the democrats hold the seat or are the incumbent to be tied in a year when the republicans have the advantage, not good news for them. In kansas, a onepoint race. Colorado was the third race of the firewall. In that case, the republicans are leading, democrats are trailing. Mark udall is in big, big trouble. In kentucky, the battle for the majority, in a battle. Its a dead heat. Now we have allegations of racial divisiveness. Allison Grimes Campaign put out a flyer. Hes quote, targeting our president and our community. The Mcconnell Campaign is looking into legal action to have the mailer stopped. They say its fostering unnecessary and hateful racial divisiveness. Always in the final days. Thank you very, very much. We want to update you on where the kansas race stands now to which carl was mentioning. In the latest fox news poll, orman and roberts are tied here. Orman has come up here and what role will outside candidate the traditional liberal candidate divide it. Pat roberts is confident he can survive. The senator joins us now. Senator, how you holding up . Im doing fine. Frost is on the pumpkin on the parade. Thats halloween spelled backwards, like my opponent. You mention the frost and the cooler weather. Much of the country is going through a cold snap on election day. Many say that tends to be good for republicans. They are angry and will get the vote out. I dont know if that applies in your fine state, but what do you make of that . I think kansas obviously, we know about the weather in kansas. As the saying goes, if you dont like the weather, just wait. Its frosty, but its going to warm up. We are going to have a great parade. We are in great shape in the race. Im confident. I think everybody in kansas knows, if you vote for pat roberts, you are voting for a majority. Thats what it boils down to. Do you get a sense other people are joining . Even the Tea Party Challenger is now supporting you and your candidate saying its a seminole event. Do you agree . Im pleased and welcome for his endorsement. I think the key thing is, we have had everybody from jeb bush to sarah palin to mitt romney to ted cruz. Its the full spectrum of the Republican Party. They are here because they trust me. They know me. They are also here because they know and i know that this race is a lot more about me, its about the republicans taking over the majority in the senate and ending the obama agenda. The president said himself this whole election was a referendum on his policies. If thats the case, i win. You know, im noticing all the candidates who have come out for you. They are all presumably going to run for president in 2016. Do they need food tasters when they are together . How is that working out for you . Everybody likes one another. Everybody is eunited. Its in good spirits. Everybody talks about the Republican Party. We have had rand paul. We have had john mccain, we have had virtually everybody. Again, they are all here for one reason. Thats to see pat roberts reelected because we want to take the majority and stop the obama agenda. Its important. All the issues people care about, obamacare, securing the border, stopping amnesty, opening up the pipeline. All these things these have been your signature. It helps to have all the party luminaries including Chris Christie campaigning. Many say its one thing to have them supporting you. Many supporters would like to see out there campaigning with you. Any chance of that . They have been campaigning with me. Nelson wolf. Well, im again, im pleased and welcome for his endorsement. It came pretty late. We have a schedule now. Theres only two to three days left. If the doctor would like to join us, he is certainly welcome. The bob dole attacks out of nowhere on the part of your opponent appear to be backfiring, getting people mad. People in kansas think very, very highly of bob dole. What did you think of that . What did your campaign think of that . Bob dole is an iconic thinker. Hes my mentor and friend. Hes going to be in this parade. I dont know if we are going to ride together or separately. At any rate, that was a cheap shot. Im not sure that greg orman said that. That might be a campaign person. I think he owes bob an apology. But, having said that, it shows how out of touch his campaign is with kansas. I mean nobody in kansas, democrat, independent or anybody is going to say anything bad about bob dole. Its unfortunate. Im sorry it happened. Are you surprised you are in this fight . The governor is in a similar fight to hang on to his job in what is seen as a fairly conservative state . You are really fighting tooth and nail. Whats going on . Well, i take every election seriously, neil. You never know. These are times when people are very upset with barack obama and anybody thats been in washington catches that. But, i think people in kansas know that a vote for me, again, is for a republican majority, take back the senate, end the gridlock. Get the senate moving again. A vote for my ap popo popo poppe for harry reid. Thank you very, very much. We put out calls to mr. Orman. We have yet to hear back. Meanwhile, if the race leans toward the republicans and they win the senate and pick up ten to 12 seats in the house, was it their focus that got unfocused . A page one story in todays New York Times mentions grumbling on the left about a strategy that focusings more on womens issues than simple economic ones. Meanwhile, all eyes are on iowa as well. Will it be a guy named bill making the case for her opponent that decides that race . Is she worried . Well ask her. Ameriprise asked people a simple question in retirement, will you have enough money to live life on your terms . I sure hope so. With healthcare costs, who knows. Umm. 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. Start building your confident retirement today. This is kathleen. Setting up the perfect wedding day starts with her minor arthritis pain, and two pills.

I could take two aleve for all day relief. Really . For my arthritis pain, i now choose aleve. 2 pills. All day strong. All day long. And now introducing, aleve pm for a better am. Welcome back, everybody, neil cavuto here. A special focus on the upcoming election that could change political history, maybe economic history. Its the latter that has some democrats worried they are focused more on womens issues than Economic Issues. One of president obamas top money guys is here to address that. Im sure you have seen this article maybe early hand rig on the part of democrats that should have and maybe should continue to pay more attention to the economy because this other stuff does not appear to be working. What do you say . You know, i think theres a fair element of when ever something is not working, then you are going to blame that strategy. If you think what would have happened if you took a different strategy, i dont know if it would have been any different. You know, the economy, itself, actually, in many sectors coming back okay. The job market is improving, modestly. If they were going to put the focus on the economy, the president would have been criticized for how can you trumpet the success in the economy. I dont know that i think its more unease and monday morning quarterback. It might be. Obviously, it expresses internal frustration that they are not getting credit oreconomic em proouchlt. What do you think . Its hard to set it. When you come this late in an administration, the six year people, the president always loses some support in the senate and the house. The senate was sufficiently close. I think it probably was the democrats majority in danger no matter what happened barring are you surprised so Many Democrats are avoiding him like the plague . Look, normed by the last two years of an Administration Whether you look at the george bush administration. Bill clinton was impeached. The last two years of bush the father, he was defeated. Before that the last two years are no doubt, no doubt. On the economy, the president wants to reestablish, modify, he keeps referring to the fact we are off the map now as far as jobs are concerned. Many in the administration pointed to the record close and the dow and the markets more than doubled, yet, he is not benefiting. Do you think this is something of more lasting concern to democrats that no matter what happens, and even if the pick up continues, you are not going to get credit and people arent going to buy it . Look, i think thats exactly what they are afraid of. Now, i think we have had improvement. Its hard to say we havent had improvement. I think its equally fair to say it hasnt been that great. It doesnt feel gang busters. Thats why you havent had more enthusiasm, lets call it, for embracing how the economy is doing. I think its going to be a tough per yo period. The demographics of who votes is different. All of those are pointing to going to be a difficult year for the democrats. We shall see. You always remind me. You never know. You never know. It snowed on halloween, you never know. That could be another factor. Thank you very much. Weather across the country, a cold spell. How will that affect a turnout . Republicans or democrats to come out and cast their vote, especially if Mother Nature has it her way. Hillary clinton has been in iowa. Later will be bill clinton. Both trying to make sure this particular woman doesnt make it to washington. Why is she such a focus of so many democratic attacks . You would almost think her race is crucial. Maybe because it is. Joni ernst is here. And the rush i get, lasts way more than an hour. announcer at scottrade, we share your passion for trading. Thats why weve built powerful technology to alert you to your next opportunity. Because at scottrade, our passion is to power yours. I can face my 3rd grade class trip. Tying shoes, fixing pigtails. New tena instadry. 864 tiny funnels zip wetness away. Thats Fearless Protection poise maximum cant match. With tena, im not afraid. And you wont be either. Here is what you need to know about what a concern joni ernst is. Its a democrat. Hillary clinton, a number of times, bill clinton later today. Here is the woman who is the source of all their angst and concern. Joni ernst is running for the United States senate. The polls show her on the upside. Very good to have you. How are you holding up . Thank you. Oh, things are going great. I appreciate it very much. A lot of folks are getting worried about bill clinton coming into town. Hes popular in your state. He could tip it toward your opponent. Do you think he will . Are you worried about the big dog coming to town . Oh, im not so worried about bill clinton coming to town. We have momentum on our side. We have the issues that matter to iowa on our side. I think we are going to carry the day. Bill clinton, he is welcome in iowa any day. I would love to see president obama here, too. Unfortunately, he hasnt been able to make the trip. Your opponent kept a significant distance. I pointed out key issues he disagreed with the president. You have always tied him to the president. Just how unpopular is barack obama in your state because that strategy of yours, at least at this point, seems to be working. It is working because the president is not popular here in iowa. He is either low 40s, high 30s as far as Approval Rating. Right now, we are seeing a number of iowans having issues with obamacare. Policies have been canceled. Horrible increases in their insurance policy rates. Those policies that had to meet the Affordable Care act requirements. So, we are seeing doctors going away. You cant keep your doctor if you like your doctor. You certainly couldnt keep your policy if you liked your policy. Iowans dont like that. Health care options have been limited by obamacare. Its an issue here. If you made it to the United States senate, would you call for a vote on repealing obamacare outright or would you disma dismantle it around the edges . The price tag like Mitch Mcconnell was talking about. They are more doable tactics. Well, first, i think we need to repeal, but replace obamacare with something nor patient centered and addresses conditions. Whatever we can do to get this bad law gone is what we need to do. Im willing to work with any member of congress, any member of the senate that will help us repeal it or get rid of it. However we need to do that, we need to do it. Its not just hurting folks here in iowa, it is hurting all of america. Its unsustainable, unaffordable and we can do better for the american people. I got the impression on talking to mr. Mcconnell, its not realistic. He dialed back a little from the interview. He said lets remove the things we have a shot at. As far as repealing it outright, not doable. If that were his stance, would you, again, assuming you get to the senate, if thats your hope and goal, would you vote for him to be your leader . Well, im not there yet. Lets make it through november 4th, then we will have serious discussions following that. I think we need to repeal it. We can do better. Thats my stance. However we can get rid of it, we need to do that. Voting later, once i am there, i will have those discussions. Sounds like Mitch Mcconnell is not a guarantee for you then . Maybe not a guarantee. I tell you what, i have to talk with a number of people, hear what their stances on the issue are. Right now, it is about winning iowa. Its so important i stay focused on getting through tuesdays election, turning iowans out at the polls, which is something we are going to continue pushing through the weekend. I completed a 99 county tour. Emphasizing what we have done here in the state of iowa is working. We are one of the best fiscally managed states in the United States. Thats what we need to take to washington, d. C. Thats the message im getting out. Once i get to the senate, we are going to work on the fiscal house there. You dont mind harkening back to your National Guard service. As you heard, Sergeant Tahmooressi has been released and is back on american soil. It was done by a judge who threw out the sentence that had him stuck in mexico. What do you think of that and how long it took to get him back here . Well, i am so disappointed we did not pursue this aggressively. He should have been released a number of months ago. This is just another case of our administration not being proactive, being reactive. We have seen that with every instance out there whether it comes to ebola, whether it comes to isis or whether it comes to this situation. We have an administration that is so hands off. I am proud of my
