Clerk gets their electronic vote, copies it to a standard ballot. Then it is official. Its that simple. For Many Americans here on planet earth, it isnt as easy right now. Voting rights on earth are under attack from public voting laws. Its not right and we need to have the same right to vote on land in this country as americans do in outer space. Thanks for watching. Im al sharpton. Hardball starts right now. Voting in a dangerous world. Lets play hardball. Good evening. Im Chris Matthews in washington. Ebola. The fellow who just got here just died here. There may be another case nearby in texas. Isis, camer talking what could
be english. Soldiers dig their own graves around him. How much with the fear of ebola and the gut anger at isis drive this country a month before it votes . Only the we gauge the fear and the anger in the american heart as were asked to make a big decision on whom we can trust. First the three states that i think will decide whether president obama loses the u. S. Senate. Second, a look at the big states. Pennsylvania, florida, illinois, wisconsin, that could pick democratic governors and by that decision shift the ground under the 2016 president ial election. Wont hillary like having that . And the round table takes on the unspoken biggy. What will the dangers of ebola which is no longer entirely offshore and the anger against isis which lies deep in our gut do to the voter entering the voting place . Will it drive them to change . Tonight we try hard to find out. Joining me, president of emilys list. And rick a former spokesman for
newt gingrich. Lets all watch what happened in the big Senate Debates over the last 24 hours and today. Lets watch. His whole career has been as a partisan political operative. He says elect me and then ill be bipartisan. He would be the only senator from his own words has built a career around outsourcing american jobs. That is not the experience that we need in washington. Another another attempt by my desperate opposition to use one line out of a 186page document, out of a 186page document to define a career. Senator haguins voted with president obama 96 of the time. She served as a rubber stamp for president obamas failed policies. Speaker tillis wants to make this race about the president. This race is about who will represent North Carolina in the u. S. Senate. Trying to get greg ormans
position on any issue is like trying to nail jello to the wall. He wonderful recognize senator warner today. When you vote as many times as you have with the president , 99 of the time, you are tied hook, line and sink he to the president. He has shown he has the capability to filibuster. We dont need that. Is the government that behaves like two children fighting in the back seat of a driverless car what we want to hand off to future generations . If it is, im not your guy. Only the i want to focus sharply on what i believe are the Key Senate Races this november. North carolina. Where were going this week. Colorado and iowa based upon their plausible victories elsewhere, republicans may need just one of these to win control of the senate. First, kay haggan has been guarding a slim lead over tillis. She leads by 1 point. Look where North Carolina women are, putting their support. Hagan has a huge lead. 3934 . Last night she challenged tillis for his claim on equal pay for women. I think he makes a mistake here. Speaker tillis, North Carolina women earn just 82 cents on the dollar compared to their male counter parts. In the General Assembly you kill an equal pay bill and you said you dont support a proposed equal pay bill in congress. Why dont you support these bills to ensure that women get equal pay for equal work . Well, senator, you probably know that there are laws on the books that it is against the law to do something that any employer does. He should pay the consequences. Lets enforce the laws on the books. Versus some of the campaign gimmicks that will put more regulations on businesses and make it even more difficult. I think he said something about a gimmick there . He did. He is so out of touch with the
voters of North Carolina that he thinks equal pay is a political gametic, a campaign gimmick. Women are only 82 cents to the dollar in North Carolina. This is a real issue. This is why this election, not just in North Carolina but around the country, is about women voters and the issues facing women and families. It is not a rape comment, at least. But it does give the women a case now. This guy doesnt almost us. You have to remember that this figure you just cited, 82 cents on the dollar happened in the Obama Administration. I assume an obama who missed isis which you were very critical for him might have missed the wage gap in his white house. If he wanted to set that prioritiering would have set the wage gap. People have to decide whether they want to vote for kay hagan or tom tillis. What do you make of the women gap . That women are for her. I point out that 51 are not
for her shelf did get 49. There is admittedly a gap there. But 51 of the women are not supporting. 34 of your guy. More than half the women are saying they are not voting for kay hagan. But women are deciding as we speak. Here we have tom tillis saying equal pay is a campaign issue. Why were seeing growing gender gaps, not just in North Carolina. It is shrinking. Look at this. Im ahead of you here. Look at colorado where over the past month, democratic senator mark udall had been building a slight edge but late today, good news for you, fox news poll in the field, october 47. A good poll has cory gardner beating udall 4337. Here again it breaks out the womens vote. And answer this one. It shows colorado women over
whelmingly supporting udall. 4934 . The same exact percentage you saw in North Carolina. Are women wrong in every state by the way you look at it . No. I think the poll is a news cycle behind. I think the poll has not reacted to ebola. It has not reacted to the lack of action of isis. It was taken yesterday. The Public Opinion lacks the news cycle. We cant give you a more recent poll than last night and youre complaining. Thats ridiculous. All the polls are trending our way. Everyone of them. Im pointing out, why were the women still consistent against the republicans . Thats all im asking. Ask the women. And we have done a lot of research into women voters. Not just recently. It is consistent. They are concerned about their economic security. All of these issues are incredibly important. Theyre all important. It is about economic security. Unless youre a candidate talking about issues they care
about, equal parks minimum wage, and access to health care which is a huge issue. And you have candidates who are voting against women regularly. Heres that debate. Heres udall. He was unpolyjet whik the moderator challenged him about making women issues. Lets watch udall. Mr. Udall, your campaign has been so focused on womens issues that youve been doubled mark uterus. Have you gone too far. Lynn, reproductive rights are important to millions of coloradans. If congressman gardner hadnt built his entire career on littling womens reproductive choices, we would not be having this discussion today. Is that what it is about . Abortion . Tell me the names of the kids classmates. Women, they tend in our traditional family setting to know everything about running
the family. They know everything about health, education. The men are out to lunch on these issues. No wonder women care more about education. And health care. Youre talking my language. The health care got canceled. They noticed the premiums went up. They noticed they lost the pediatrician. They also have pre existing conditions covered and they can keep their kids on longer. Not if they dont have insurance. They have insurance. What were seeing is the result of this in these gentler gaps. So under this Obama Administration one other thing, the republicans clearly know they have a problem. What were getting from kory gardner and scott brown are these running away from their past positions. I think cory let us take a look. A woman candidate running as a republican. Here joni ernest is known for one thing. It has them 4040. This is why i called this the key election. This could decide whether republicans get control of the senate. Braley is 42. So women are not voting for the woman because she is a woman. Theyre voting for the male candidate because they agree with his positions. And theyre not going to vote for the woman as a woman. Theyre going to vote for the pro woman candidate. Therefore they should vote for cory gardner who introduced, oh Birth Control pills. Is that a gimmick . Its a good idea but it is a gimmick. In do you have want a doctor to recommend Birth Control pills . If you cared about access to Birth Control, he would be standing by plan parenthood that provides Birth Control across
this country. Maybe doctors should be here toll us, should you have to have a prescription to buy Birth Control pills . Thats a question that needs to happen with scientists who understand all of this. What do you think . It would be wonderful if we could make it easier to get access and that it was affordable or paid for. It is an incredibly expensive thing. And Birth Control is not a social issue. Are you with the republicans on it over the downer . A pharmaceutical hasnt gone to the fda. It would be a great thing to have easier access but it has to be covered. And republicans dont want it covered and thats an economic issue. Douglas mccarthy would be proud of you. This is a fight going on with the American People right now for the battle for the senate. And i believe it will come down to iowa. And men voting for the castrator is very strange. A pal of mine of recent vintage. And a reminder, ill within senator kay hagan this weekend. Well have reporting on that race. Brought to you on monday. Well start doing this. It is not just the bat for the Senate Control coming up. 36 governors races across the country are happening as we speak. Remember how jeb bush helped down there . Think about the big swing states. Florida this time, rick scott to lose to chris christie. And wisconsin, walker could lose. And then Hillary Clinton runs for president in 2016, shell want those states under democratic control and it looks very good. Plus the death of an ebola patient in texas. Americans are frigwatching some frightening events. Heres a sad statement about the state of affairs in america
right now. We asked americans a very simple question. That question was, who is joe biden . Who is joe biden . I have no idea. Do you want to take a guess . A man. Any way, dont these people follow the news . More on Jimmy Kimmels interviews in the side show. Finally, let me finish with why that isis video demands the u. S. Government take a stand. Dad, i know i havent said this often enough, but thank you. Thank you mom for protecting my future. Thank you for being my hero and my dad. Military families are uniquely thankful for many things, the legacy of usaa Auto Insurance could be one of them. If youre a current or former military member or their family, get an Auto Insurance quote and see why 92 of our members plan to stay for life. Charlie, the demand on this network, it is increasing by the second. Its crazy, huh . And people are relying on it more than ever. We cover more than 99 of all americans. I know, i cant imagine living without it. Its a place where people can come share knowledge and ideas. Its beautiful. Thats deep charlie. My selfie just hit a hundred likes. gasps a hundred at t is building you a better network. Haggan. Heres one more interesting poll. It come from south dakota. A state that should safely be in republican hands by now. According to robo poll, republican mike rounds who has been leading by double digits now holds only a threepoint
lead over independent candidate Larry Pressler with rick weiland at 28 . He endorsed barack obama for president in 2008 and 2012. If pressler manages to win this november, the republicans may need an additional win somewhere else to take control of the senate. Pressler looks like hes hot right now. Will that be all, sir . Thank you. Ordering chinese food is a very predictable experience. I order b14. I get b14. No surprises. Buying business internet, on the other hand,
can be a Roller CoasterWhite Knuckle thrill ride. Youre promised one speed. But do you consistently get it . You do with comcast business. And often even more. Its reliable. Just like kung pao fish. Thank you, ping. Reliably fast internet starts at 89. 95 a month. Comcast business. Built for business. This is michelle obama. Ive seen that pat has the courage to do whats right. Now pat is fighting to raise the minimum wage. He is working to create jobs at home instead of shipping jobs overseas. This election, barack and i are casting our votes for our friend, pat quinn. Not just control of the u. S. Senate at stake this november. We have 36 governors races this
fall including two big states, florida and pennsylvania where democrats can take control. In fact, they could easily take control. And this matters. If youre running for president in 2016, you want friends running those states. Not enemies. Tonight well spotlight the hottest. Pat quinn, is locked in a dead heat with bruce ra you nor. And in new york, the double digit lead. Then there are the 26 Battle Ground states. In pennsylvania, history can be made. Tom corbett is in serious trouble. Poefls show him trailing tom wolf by 15 points. And in florida weve got one of the most brutal contests of the season. Democrats have a real chance at defeating rick scott. I dont like him. Lets dive in. Im joined by two former governors howard dean in vermont
and bob ehrlich of maryland. Thank you for joining us. These races are amazingly surprising. You have florida. You can flip a governor. Governors get reelected. In pennsylvania, nobody has been defeated for reelection cynic you could run for reelection. Illinois, quinn is in trouble, schneider is in trouble. Walker could easily lose. The only governors are cuomo, a son of, and brown, a son of. Everybody else is in the wind. Why do we hate our governors . I dont know that we hate our governors but some of them are pretty controversial. Rick scott and scott walker are really controversial. Scott walker has been the subject of a recall which he beat back. But still. And so if you do controversial things, youre going to be talked about a lot. Thats not always a good thing. So i think, you know, i think were going to pick up governor seats which is kind of odd because well lose senate seats. I think well hold on to the senate but well clearly lose
some seats but i think well pick up three or four governorships. A lot of it is because the people who were elected were pretty extreme and that will come back to haunt them. Governor, thank you for joining us. I always admire your guts for running. You got a. 333 batting average which is not bad for maryland. That will get you in the hall of fame in some leagues. In some leagues. Is this because it is a tough time to be in any office . Even though it is getting a little better. We got isis, ebola, everything coming at us. And you have to throw rock at somebody. You have to blame somebody. You dont blame the challenger. You blame the incumbent. I think theres a head wind out there of unpopular president. I disagree with howard. How about the unpopular governor of florida . Lets throw that around. Lets talk about pat quinn. He has 25 Approval Rating . 34. A lot of people are jump set. There is a lot of angst with the
voters. You see it by the way in the Approval Ratings with respect to congress. Although ironically, most house members will win. People hate congress these days. And i think youll see not just the democrats lose seats in the senate. You will see republican control of the senate as well. Governor dean, let me step out. Youre a imagine of the left and i appreciate that. I rooted for you like mad when you ran for the president. Let me ask you. Could it be a lack of charisma . I look at guys like rick scott. What is the excitement . I look at quinn. He has this problem. I look at these guys. Tom corbett of pennsylvania. Did they just have a lucky run in ten . It was a good year and people asked, we put a guy in there and he is such a zero. Is that whats going on . There was some of that in 2010. The tea party was in their full strength and they got to the polls. The people were not happy about obamacare. So some of these folks did get in. And it is natural that theyll be one termers as youll see an echo of in 16 with the senators that got in. But some of them, i think pat quinn will win. For the 34 Approval Rating, he is really coming back from the dead. Hes running quite a campaign. I get stuff from his every hour. The research is pretty good and he said some pretty outrageous things in the past and thats coming back to haunt him. The same is true in georgia and the senate race. This guy who looks like he could be a great candidate seem to be very proud of outsourcing american jobs. That doesnt go over on either side for the voters and i think purdue is in trouble. Did you are the for me in maryland the way you rooted for howard . No. But i voted for michael steele. That counts. I must have voted for you if i voted for him. Can i vote separately . No. I must have voted for you. I think that cost you some ratings by the way. No, i made a mistake. I voted for him for senate i voted for Kathleen Kennedy townsend. I give all this information away. Heres these races and why they really matter. Right now republicans control the Governors Office in three big battleground states. Pennsylvania, florida and ohio. If democrats pick up florida and pennsylvania and th
