Excused, excuse me. The one and only Televised Senate debate between incumbent Mitch Mcconnell and the challenger europe has been excussed. That will do it for way too early. Morning joe starts right now. He hits it into the right. Its in the corner. Game over no way. Willie the cardinals came back . Walkoff home run. Youre kidding me. I went to sleep last night. My lord. Game is tied up in the top of the ninth with a wild pitch as they were trying to put it away. Unbelievable. How late was this walkoff home run. My gosh, they couldnt have gone 20 against the giants at
home. Now we got a series. We got ourselves a series and got lucky little players from a show me state. Very nice. Good morning everyone. A missouri series. Oh, gosh. The royals. Whats intolerable. Why do you hate real america . All missouri world series. Drive rating through the ceiling. Its not about ratings. Its about love of the game. I know the royals. Im for the royals. Go royals. We have msnbc contributor and associate professor at column University School of National Public affairs, dorian warren. They lost victor cruz for the series. Tore up his knee. What about the jets. They won. No. Peyton manning and the broncos came here to new york. Went up pretty big. Jets made a run to come back. Any big game yesterday like stood out . Probably the eagles beating the giants. Eagles are 51. Cowboys are 51. Lets get to the news. Health officials are warning more cases of ebola are possible after it was transmitted for the First Time Ever in the United States. A Health Care Worker in dallas tested positive for ebola after treating the liberiian national. She was not observed for possible symptoms. She developed a low fever on friday and quickly put in isolation. Another person in contact with her is being monitored. Innexted worker wore a protective suit and they are investigating how a breach may have occurred. We dont know what occurred
in the care of the index patient, the original patient in dallas. But at some point there was a breach in protocol, and that breach in protocol resulted in this infection. It is possible that other individuals were exposed. We know that this individual did provide care to the index patient on multiple occasions, and that care included extensive contact. Meanwhile the nations Largest Nurses Union is criticizing hospitals for not being fully prepared to treat the ebola virus or educating their employees. In west africa a businessman is being praised for helping one district in sierra leone remain ebola freeby limiting travel. The plans include requiring residents to vouch for visitors and guards taking temperatures at checkpoints. Well talk to author of that the Washington Post article in a few minute. Basically implemented a
quarantine. This one district. Completely ebola free. Controversial, but effective. Well talk about that in just a moment. But first this was big news when it broke yesterday morning about this next case of ebola in dallas, the nurse. Lets bring in former white house adviser for Health Policy dr. Ezekiel emanuel. This is not going according to plan. There are breaches in protocol. Dr. Kent brantley First American doctor contracted ebola saying he still doesnt know how he got it. They prepared a month ahead of time to do everything right. He still got ebola. Here in dallas a woman that wore all the protective gear she still has ebola. People coming on kind of like the Airline Industry is always
saying, you know what, the plane crashed it had to be pilots error. No. Its very worrisome as tom frieden said yesterday. Probably although not for sure is taking off the protective gear. I remember when we started taking off some of the protective gear around hiv aids there was a lot of mistakes. It requires being very vigilante and careful. This is very contagious and thats the big problem. Its by touching, obviously, very contagious. Well have to look at all the processes. I think it might not be a stupid idea to have cameras when people are taking the gear off to make sure and to look, you know, more importantly where are the common mistakes and try to redesign the standards of care to avoid those common things. I would also say in this patient, they had intubated the
patient on a respirator. Once you have organ failure will you get the patient back or just infecting more Health Care Workers. You mentioned tom frieden the head of the cdc. He said over the weekend that there probably will be more cases of ebola, its likely well see that. Will that be the result of breaches of protocol which is what looks like happened in this case. How else will we see more cases in the United States . Again, to remind everyone, youre not able to transmit ebola without symptoms. They have been very careful about monitoring the symptoms and having the Health Care Workers and others monitor their temperature. So, that is you cant say its zero but pretty unlikely. The breaches of protocol seem to be the most likely. Not so much breaches of protocol
its in the implementation of the protocol where you can have a problem. Thats most likely trying to set expectations there, but this is i mean its rare but obviously not unheard of event and it is worrisome and i think redoubling the efforts and again looking at every step of the way to get rid of the ones where mistakes are most likely to happen is probably the really important element here of trying to contain this. As weve seen in other places like nigeria you can eliminate this and contain the problem. A few weeks before the midterms. A new poll Shows Hillary clinton has work to do in iowa if she decides to run for president for 2016. Shocking. Im surprised. Bloomberg Des Moines Register poll shows potential republican opponents in strong standing in a headtohead matchup mitt romney leads the former
secretary of state by one point. Romneys former running mate, paul ryan trailing hillary by one point. Three points separate clinton and rand paul. And shes five points ahead of new jersey Chris Christie. Iowa has not always been kind to clinton. She limped into third place in iowa during the president ial race in 2008. John, pretty remarkable that Hillary Clinton over the past three, four, five, six months has dropped as much as she had. Now mitt romney seeing this poll, shes in basically dead lock with rand paul within the margin of error. Chris christie, jeb bush dont fare as well. Thats news as well. From the establishment said of the ledger. Mitt romney has one more reason to listen to the advisors and contributors who are begging him to get in this race. You hit a bunch of high points. This is the first time anyone has tested with likely 2016
general election voters in iowa headtohead match up like this. First time anybody has done it. First time iowa poll is the thing were partnered with. Gold standard out there. The fact that she, she obviously has 100 name recognition. Everyone knows her in iowa in the same way everyone knows president obama. You put her up against mitt romney that has 100 name recognition. The fact that mitt romney is ahead of her in a purple state is significant. And then you look at rand paul. Someone who is not presumably not nearly as wellknown as Hillary Clinton, hes within striking distance is very surprising. Paul ryan very well known. She clearly is not by any means the prohibitive favorite to win the general election in a purple state and this pump tell state at this point. While were in iowa, dorian, joni ernst the demonstrate and bruce braley are a point apart. Both are bringing in big names. Mitt romney drew major crowds for joni ernst. While the first lady campaigned alongside joni ernsts opponent she struggled to remember braleys name. We need to elect leaders like bruce bailey. Think how many precincts all of us could swing for bruce bailey if we roll up our shreves and got serious about these issues. You can go to vote dot bruce bailey. Com. Thats votebrewsbailey. Com. Braley . What did i say . Im losing it. Im getting old. I went to that. Bruce bailey site. Meanwhile the washington
post Alexandria Lab gives republicans a 95 chance of retaking the senate, a far higher confidence level than the New York Times. Or 538. A new nbc news wall street journal poll shows while more people want a democratically controlled congress, that registered democratic voters are less interested in midterm than their republican counterparts. Lets talk about the poll on joni ernst. What did you see inside of that thing . What you see the last time that the iowa poll was done by the register, she was up six in that race. And so that race has tightened a lot where they are dead even. It looks like bruce braley has closed the poll was only taken a few weeks ago. Hes closed the gap there. Shes gone up a little bit. Hes gone up a lot more. They are in a dead heat. A lot of people saying iowa could decide who controls the senate. Democrats and republicans alike, they will say the same thing that race is a togs ss up race. 95 the Washington Post is giving the republicans for take over the senate. Now it may happen. I get in trouble when i was talking about the guy who left the New York Times, i forget his name and where he went, but he was talking about a couple of years ago, 78. 4974 chance that romney was going to lose. I mean its so far out for the post. 95 chance that republicans are going to take over the senate . Theres so many moving parts. I think thats just as silly as what i was hearing two years ago. Again, it may turn out to be right. But saying that three weeks out
just seems kind of crazy. Youre saying it almost certainty the senate will flip. Within five Percentage Points. If you look at iowa, you look at places like north carolina, you look at louisiana, there are all these races that although not as much of a toss up as iowa. Arkansas. You look across the map there are too many thing up in the air now. Its certainly well within the realm of possibility that president obama is now facing a Republican Senate and Republican House for the final two years of his administration. I think its odd in the context of whats happened in the last week. Think of the recent developments, kansas a possibility for a democratic pick up. South dakota suddenly up for grabs. Georgia looking better for democrats. Its odd that poll, that model gets you to 95 given the news of recent days. I think thats right in the sense last week a lot of political scientists released their annual, every two years,
every four years predictions and almost all of them senate will fall into republican hands. These are pretty good models of predicting elections. No one is 100 right. Its a 95 confidence interval. It looks very likely republicans will take back the senate. Its not perfect. A lot of things can change. Based on what we know all the factors that go into midterm elections its pretty clear, i can say with lots of confidence it looks good for republicans. Whats your number, dorian. Somewhere around 89, 90. Im at 50. Youre more optimistic for the president to maintain control of the senate. Or pessimistic. Really quickly well be talking about isis throughout the day. My gosh, reports this morning that they are on the verge of actually moving into western baghdad, the Anbar Province totally taken over. This military operation right now, you have to judge it as a complete failure so far, wouldnt you i dont know if its complete failure. Im not sure they will overtake baghdad. But its raising questions what is our strategy, is it a failing strategy. There needs questions asked again in congress about whether this is the appropriate strategy. Will we need troops on the ground . Are drone strikes working . Is the air attack the only strategy thats possible here . Do we need actually to send it combat troops . Still ahead on morning joe we got a big joe coming up including developments in the football hazing case. Several players facing criminal charges. I cant believe how bad that was. Parents are still pushing back. Plus a new ad in texas by wendy davis. I dont know. I think she went too far with the wheelchair. Yeah. Well speak with congressman Michael Burgess whose district
is miles away from the hospital at the center of ebola crisis. And casey wilson, we look at her new comedy marry me. A clown terrorizing one city and taking over instagram. Have you seen the pictures . You want to scare kids great, but youll be looking up from the ground. Plus the long drought one california has at least one positive outcome, better wine. Well explain why next. Youre watching morning joe. When folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. But the energy bp produces up here creates Something Else as well jobs all over america. Engineering and innovation jobs. Advanced Safety Systems technology. Shipping and manufacturing. Across the United States,
bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. When we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. Thats not a coincidence. Its one more part of our commitment to america. When salesman alan ames books his room at laquinta. Com, he gets a ready for you alert the second his room is ready.

Another Big Health Story in the news and well start with detroit free press. A michigan toddler passed away on friday from the enterovirus 68.

The drier weather means an earlier harvest before the autumn storm season. Less chance the grapes will mold. The grapes will be smaller with more concentrated flavors. Still there are draw backs too. It takes several gallons of water to produce just a single glass of wine. Right. Wow. Good for the wine business. Bad for 50 Million People. But for your cabernet. Exactly.
