Thats it for this special report, fair, balanced and unafraid. Greta goes on the record right now. Dont forget, tuesday it all starts 6 00 p. M. Kelly and me. See you then. It is down to the wire. Tempers are flying, insults being flung all sorts of really mean accusations. Yep, election day is coming and republicans are pulling out all the stops to regain control of the senate. Tonight, we are taking you across the country inside critical races that will decide it all. On the record has Live Team Coverage of those key races from the Senate Showdown to kentucky and iowa to the governors races in florida and wisconsin. We begin in iowa. A high stakes race for the u. S. Senate. Its also a dead heat for open senate seat. Republican state senator joni earnst battling bruce braley. This could be a turning point for the United States of hurricane. I think this race, bruces race is especially
important. Joni earnst is not on your side. It is going to take all of us pulling together to unite this party. I stand on the side of awians. Every one of you get out and vote. Have a straight talk. Its going to come down to get out the vote. And the a. P. s Catherine Lucy is live in des moines. Catherine, this one is a nail biter. What story . Who is up earnst braley or is this within the margin of error . You know like most people of iowa im on the edge of me seat too. This is so close. The polls all show this just razor then going in the last couple of days. Touring the state, blanketing the airways ware waives with positive and. Senator john mccain. Bruce braley has president obama in tomorrow. And this is is the the first time iowa has had an open senate seat in decades. And they are desperately trying to pull out all the stops to close this deal. All right, well president obama took the iowa caucus in 2008. So i guess that representative braley is not running from him like many democratic thats my mistake. Its not president obama its president clinton who is here tomorrow. I apologize. President obama has not been near iowa this entire election. President bill clinton who is still very popular here in iowa. He is coming in tomorrow to do a huge rally in ghoin with james taylor. Also doing a fundraiser up in waterloo where braley is from. The only obama we have seen in the state is michelle obama, not president obama. All right. What do you think is the most important issue . What do people in iowa really care about as the people who still arent decided . What matters . Its interesting. A lot of talk about a variety of issues on the trail. You know, including social issues like abortion, but we
had some polling out from the a. P. This week which really shows what people are really focused on is the economy and healthcare. Those kind of pocketbook issues i think are really the top concerns for voters in this race. We are all watching it. All eyes on iowa on tuesday. Catherine, thank you. Thank you. And now to kentucky the blue grass state. Its also a nail biter. Senate Minority Leader Mitch Mcconnell is fighting to keep his seat. There is nobody running in america this year, the liberals want to be more than the guy you are looking at. Im proud of my enemies. It makes a big difference who wins this election. And alisyn Lundergan Grimes should win it and will with your help. Its the economy, stupid. Obama needs alisyn grimes, kentucky needs Mitch Mcconnell. We will take this fight to Mitch Mcconnell and hold him accountable for his 30
years of failed leadership. And on the record sam youngman from the kentucky leader. Nice to see you, sam. Good to be with you, greta. Where does this stand . This has been like neck and neck. I know. We are sort of missing the suspense that we had just a week ago like what they are having in iowa. We just put out a poll yesterday last poll before the election shows senator mcconnell with a little bit of separation now 38 to 33 lead. I will say that democrats here are excited. Ground game. Does look like right now from every indication we are seeing. Sixth term and quite possibly become jort leader. Is senator Mitch Mcconnell running. 27 approval rate in kentucky. Is that what the story is or it against alisyn Lundergan Grimes . No. I think if you ask senator mcconnell he would say alisyn lund grim who . This is your last chance against president obama. Two, make me majority leader and you have a kentuckian looking out for you every day. I think he has had a great deal of success in tieing alison Lundergan Grimes tieing her to the president. Probably a lot of undecides, right . Some, whats going to throw it either way . Yeah, our polls showed about 6 undecided. A lot of pollsters im talking to arent seeing that many. They are saying that people are pretty much locked in. You know, i think down the stretch. You know, people are sort democrats are really throwing things at the wall to see what sticks, try different messages, senator mcconnell for his part in
town this morning. Senator mcconnells stump speech hasnt changed at all in the last six months. I think the goal for him is just to make sure his voters turn out and dont make any down the stretch. We will be watching six undecided and 5 difference in the polls that still seems like nail biter to me. And now, florida high octane governors race is too close to call. Rick scott trying to fend off charlie crist. I love florida and i want to make sure that we protect it. Charlie lost 232,000 jobs and charlie said he was powerless. He said there was absolutely nothing he could do about jobs. I am so happy to be here to support charlie crist, the next governor of florida [cheers] how many of you all have voted. Were going to win because we are getting our votes out. Poor charlie doesnt have a title. He wants to run for governor
again because he wants the title again. Give new title loser. Mary ellen class joins us. What a race down there. Three Major Television markets who is up florida once again is going to deliver another nail biter. Things have been so tight. They have been the recent polls show that they are within the margin of error, both candidates, so there is no telling which direction its going to go. You know, its so interesting about florida because its such a big state. So many different interests, the Older Community down there conservative Community Wild state isnt it to watch . There is a lot of visits. A lot of areas four years
ago went one direction have changed. We have got some areas that are more blue this time around. Miami dade the senator of the state is a little more blue. On the other hand, the republicans continue to turn out in midterm elections far better than democrats do. The democrats have been cutting into that margin a little bit in voting. We have had two weeks of early voting. But its its really down to the wire whether that is going to be enough for them to pull it over on election day. I dont mean to be disrespectful Governor Scott or former governor crist. I get the sense down there that voters are going to the polls a little bit holding their nose not wild about either candidate. Am i right . You are absolutely right. Part of the reason is that neither of the candidates have given voters have a whole lot to vote for them dont vote for the other
guy. Who is the least best as karl said over the weekend. We will be watching and florida never disappoints us with making it exciting, thank you. And now, back north, were going to go back to the midwest to the great state of wisconsin where right now the governors race is a fierce one. Neck and neck. Republican Governor Scott walker mary burke. We are going to move this forward. The republicans clearly have a significant advantage in turnout. Oh, its good to be back in wisconsin. I dont need people stick. If everyone voted it would still be an extremely close race. The only poll that matters is the one we take next tuesday. The milwaukee sentinel journal joins us. Who is going to win this governors race. This is a a state really divided over scott walker. He has carved out a lead in
the likely voters in the last major poll in this race. Whats interesting about the poll is his gains came from not any big opinion shifts in the electorate as a whole but from intensity gap. Reallyunder scores the role that turn out. What about the ads . How fierce. I am a cheese head. You wonder how much the impact allegation. Whether she was forced out o. Counter charges, questions about some of those sources and their political ties. Thats really kind of raised the temperature of this race at the end. You know, looking back at the history of wisconsin
ground game is important. Undecides at this point. Very few. But, again, thats why its so important for democrats to try to kind of raise levels. We know that the governors Republican Base is really loyal and really motivated and thats probably his political strong suit. If he wins. Most people think scott walker wants to run for president. I think the expectation will be that he will take a really hard look at this race, if he wins. I think there is some question about, you know, if the margin is super narrow how much of a springboard his victory will give him in a possible president ial race. Obviously if he loses the race his president ial ambitions are stalled. Of course if his opponent wins that would be the first woman governor in the state of wisconsin in history,
right . Right. And probably governor in madison, unlikely the democrats will take back the legislature. Craig, thank you, we will be watching on tuesday. Thank you. And now, heading south in the bayou state. Louisiana, thats where you find ortega taking heat that is after she woman president obama struggles to be popular because is he africanamerican. In the south not always the friendliest place for africanamericans. Its been a a difficult time for the president to present himself in a very positive light as a leader. Be able to present ourselves. Its more of a conservative place. We have had to work a a little bit harder on that. And wall street journal jason riley joins us. Race baiting. A lot of the ads has been
going on in the south and then you have this comment from senator land drew. Is that sort of a democratic strategy or is the New York Times reading too much in this. An absolutely strategy white house on down. This is what they have been doing. Scaring blacks to the polls. I would just remind senator land dupre in 2006 john kerry in. States like texas, and georgia, and the carolinas and virginia. If the south has a problem with obamas skin color, thats a funny way of showing it. Is this sort of a recent thing that we go down to the wire that he would are now hearing more of these racial issues instead of like a hail mary toss . She has a tough race down there. Is that why we are hearing this . She has a tough race and the president s Approval Rating is down in the state pol. State of louisiana, particularly with regard to
energy. As she mentioned in the first part of her answer. So she has got a problem there. She wants the president black voters to come out and support her. She is trying to reconcile that that, i think explains in part she played the race card. It belies this motion that the left wants to become post racial, thats the last thing they want to do. And you see it play out when we get down to the wire in close elections like this. They thrive on identity politics. Playing people against one another, divvying us up according to race or gender or Sexual Orientation or what have you and making specific appeals based on those differences, thats what the left does and this whole notion that they want to get beyond it and long for post racial is nonsense. The africanamerican vote largely democratic his terrifically, im curious whether the democrats have earned it or expect it. Black under obama you would have to say no. Take for granted. If you look at black unemployment. Black labor anticipation, black ownership. Black all of those categories. I dont know why should be eager to maintain harry reid as senator starts over the past six years. Jason, thank you. Thank you. Some Democrats Senate races in the south. For instance, campaign ads ferguson, missouri, trayvon death. Wont fight for us. Instead, he made it harder for communities to vote. Restricting early voting and voter registration. Tillis led the effort to pass the fight to stand your ground laws that caused the shooting death of trayvon martin. And joining us special assistant to president george w. Bush and daily beast columnist ron christy. Basically two issues. Whether the ads are accurate and honest second issue is
whether they work. They are not accurate and they are not honest. I think its disgraceful. We dont have people burning crosses and we dont have lynchings and people discriminating against americans based on the color of their skin, the democrats are running scared. They are running and they are staying we are going to lose this election. We dont have the momentum on ideas. We dont have mope momentum behind the president s policies. We need our greatest constituency the africanamerican vote to come out and vote for us, and the best way for us to do it is not a positive message. Its scaring folks. Will it work . I dont think so, i think its a cynical ploy its disgraceful and shameful. The africanamerican vote has been a democratic vote. It has been. And the president got 93 of the africanamerican vote obviously for his reelection. But my family is from georgia. My family is a direct dissen dent of slaves. My mother and my father are upset with what this president is saying and what
the Democratic Party in georgia is doing of trying to scare africanamericans to come to the vote and go to the polls by using lynching imagery. By using they are going to take our vote away. By using that sort of nomenclature. Positive agenda is. My folks and many people around this country want to hear something positive from the democrats and using this sort of tactic, greta i think is going to back fire. What do the republicans offer africanamericans . I think the republicans offer africanamericans looking of people as individuals, not looking at people based on the color of their skin, if you want to hard, if you want to succeed. If you want to adheef achieve the American Dream come to the american party. If you want to be viewed as a color or viewed as someone as a ethic member or gender member. Come to the Democratic Party. The Republican Partys vision in our message is a hope looking at people as individuals and saying collectively its people
out of one many. Thats what we are all about. Rather than lets just try to distinguish ourselves based on race or class or gender. Ron, always nice to see. You always good to see you, greta.

What makes you think that the millennials are going to go out and vote for republicans . And maybe they just want to stay home or maybe they will stick with the democrats. Well, you know, despite the suggestion that young people arent engaged in politics or what have you
countrys history the youth demographic young people outperformed every other demographic it terms of turnout. They outperformed the Senior Citizen demographic. Working parent demographic. Young people that voted in record numbers. They are the most identically ideologically. Right now a a harvard study out last week that showed young people overwhelmingly shifting to the g. O. P. And republican candidates in the midterm election. I believe that the reason for that is because as i traveled around the country, young people are graduating from college. More of them are having to move back into their parents homes because of a lack of jobs and opportunity for them. In fact, its the highest rate of young people moving back in with their parents at any time in our countrys history. They have record student debt. And they have been really let down by the president s promise that more government
and more involvement in their life would somehow result in Better Outcomes and more opportunities and prosperity for them. But i also think that the president , yeah, the other thing. Does that make them i mean, it sounds like they are disillusioned with president obama. And it sounds like if they are disillusioned they may just say whatever and stay home. What is it better for the republicans than if they two vote for the democrats. The republicans want to get the vote. What is it. I think two things, one, the Repu
