cory gardner made an interesting move. he was one of the first this come out in favor of over-the-counter birth control. this was a sign that they knew that they were in trouble with women, and they had to offer something. this happening in an electionier, it shows how they want to cherry pick something that sounds good, but the actual policy implications of over-the-counter birth control puts the cost, the burden of costs on women and family. it may make a nice talking point for cory gardner, but in the end women voters are going to see right through that. i was looking at some of the early numbers. there are extreme enthusiasm for democrats right now. 77% of people who say they're going to vote for mark udall said because he's on the right side of women and families, these are women and family issues why colorado. that's why he's getting their support right now. >> but when--wasn't there a risk of being outflanked? wasn't there a risk of having that issue neutralized when the candidate for the other party said no, i'm no

created some stars, if ernst wins which is not determined but cory gardner in iowa -- cory gardner these are going to be major republican stars who are in battleground states. >> woodruff: how much can -- assuming republicans take control of the senate if they have 53, 54, if they don't have 60, if they don't have that filibuster number, what can they get done? >> well, it comes down to what each side wants to do. what the president looks at his last two years, if there are couple of places that he wants to work with the republicans and republicans at the same time, i think it's a test for the republicans. i think no question right now is not real endorsement of them by any means. this is a rejection of the status quo. another vote to change. americans believed that those who voted even though voted republican believe the system is rigged against ordinary people. rigged in favor of the well off and the well to do. and this is a chance for the republicans to prove that they really can do something and democratic president. let's be very frank, rhetoric has been very intense and very perso

cory gardner, putting one of seven seats back to the republicans and he joins us in moments. we begin tonight with iran. the white house failing to notify the supreme leader come including israel and saudi arabia. twenty now is robert scales, former common than of the u.s. army college. thank you for being with us. lou: the white house press secretary speaking on behalf of the government today. let's listen to what he said. >> there is a pretty clear interests that iran has in this fight against isis. it is not good to have this extremist group carrying out terrible acts of violence is beyond what is your reaction, general? >> i think that it is fairly clear that the united states should never make a deal with the devil because it will always turn out to be a bad deal. remember that iran is the world's largest exporter of terrorism. the export far more terrorism than isis dies. if things do not go right over the next three weeks they could very well be on the quick path to a nuclear weapon. there should be no quid pro quo in any of this for the united states and we should nev

cory gardner knows how personal contact with voters can make a big difference. change used to be obama's buzzword but republicans are the ones calling for it now. >> i don't want obama in anymore. we need a change in this country so it is time for cory gardner to get into the senate and change some things for us. >> colorado voters have the power to tip the senate majority in the republicans favor. then that means democrats will lose control of both houses making it tougher to push their policies forward. >> large swathes of what srs province. >> evacuating 1000 people as water levels continue to rise. the flooding hit after a storm lashed the area with high wind and heavy rain damaging homes and infrastructure. the governor has promised credit for flood victims. >> japan's central bank has announced stimulus measures to revive growth. it will increase the amount of money pumped into markets by 700 billion euros a year. >> the bank of japan chief says the measures were crucial to lifting the nation out of deflation. the unexpected moves has the nikkei soaring to

and cory gardner in colorado has been using it against mark udall. joanie ernst certainly has been using it in her race. add to that the fact that the democrats have always had to deal with the reality of economic anxiety in the country, polling continues to say 65% of people think the country's going in the wrong direction. the national security anxiety over ebola hit them late and has put the democrats on the defensive, kind of pushed them off their game of blaming republicans for war on women, that sort of thing. so, i think that in states like colorado and iowa the republicans feel the momentum for that reason is building in their direction. >> and two states, kim, that the republicans have to hold if they're going to keep the majority i think. >> that's right. >> kansas, pat roberts the incumbent is running against an independent greg orman and then in kentucky where mitch mcconnell the minority leader hopes to be majority leader is locked in a very tight race. how do you see those? >> yeah. the republicans are feeling very confident about kentu

last night, cory gardner carries it by a whisker. what happened here speaks to lack of motivation among latino voters in colorado. this a heavily latino county. there's a very large latino population here. it looks like that population, which was there in 2010 for the democrats and helped save michael bennett was not there last night. and cory gardner turned what was a 12-point deficit in this county into a win last night. >> yeah, the democrats definitely have their work cut out for them. steve kornacki, always nice to see you. on this day after the midterm election, take a look, the republican wave across capitol hill apparently having an impact on the markets. they are starting off with a positive reaction. right now, the dow is up already close to 70 points. this reaction on wall street also due in part to a better than expected robert on the jobs market. and coming up right here on "the daily rundown," the role that voter i.d. laws played and where they may stand for 2016. first, like we like to do, the white house soup of the d

suburbs, cory gardner. putting up the race. democrats looking at numbers in colorado, yes a way to go they know. about to lose that one. they better hold iowa. >> iowa, polls about to close there. we'll see what is going to happen there. we will also see what is happening in montana. cnn has a projection right now. in montana we predict republican, steve daines will be the next united states senator, another republican pickup. now the magic number for republicans, down to two. they need two more pickups from democratic seats. they will be the majority in the united states senate. in iowa, we cannot make a projection. based on the information we have right now. bruce braley, joni ernst. in nebraska, republican, will be the next united states senator from the state of nebraska. ben sasse. we are watching other races in wyoming. we projected, the republican senator from wyoming, mike enzi. al franken from the state of minnesota. defeating the former comedian, now the senator, al franken. gets himself re-elected easier than six yea

that if cory gardner is elected, there will be sweeping changes. whether it be with birth control or other issues related to women's rights. so they feel that by running this one issue campaign they will court people within their party as well as some of the independents. >> but gardner has a steady lead for the last several weeks. i remember the last senate campaign, michael bennett was going in behind to election day, but pulled it out with the ground game. how is that going in colorado? >> this race is determined by voter turnout. they are placing a lot of emphasis on the ground game. democrats have been very confident saying that they have already knocked on hundreds of thousands of doors. republicans, though, are being kind of close to the vest about all of this. they are making a point of not discussing their ground strategy. but, again, both camps really are saying their ground game is the strongest. >> mark, thanks very much. >>> coming up, nate silver lays out the midterm forecast. and the roundtable, what to watch fotuesday night. we're b

of those, 79% voted for cory gardner. iowa, this is a state that launched president obama into the political stratosphere where he won there. 60% disapprove of the president right now. and virginia, we have not projected a winner there. between ed gillespie, the republican and the incumbent democrat mark warner. 58% of voters in the state of virginia say they disapprove of the job the president is doing. this could help explain why it's been so difficult for mark warner to put this away. of those who disapprove of the president's job, 81% are voting for the republican ed gillespie. you can see how the president is playing in races around the country. christine. >>> increased minimum wage, more liberal marijuana laws gaining wide voter approval. let's start in arkansas where there was another ringing endorsement for a higher minimum wage. only two-thirds of the voters approving incremental increases to $8.50 an hour. voters in illinois approved a nonbinding measure to raise the minimum wage by $10 next year. supporters hop

and in colorado, senator mark udall lost to cory gardner. the political landscape could still worsen for the democrats as the senate race in alaska remains too close to call and louisiana is headed for a runoff. this is senate minority leader mitch mcconnell speaking last night at his victory speech in louisville, kentucky. they said we could have real change in washington. [applause] republicans also picked up and that is what i intend to deliver. tonight turns a corner. in the future i see is a bright one. americans have seen that what the current crowd in washington is offering is making us weaker both at home and abroad. .hey have had enough you know, there is an old saying that is often a too rooted to winston churchill that i'm reminded of -- attributed to winston churchill that i'm reminded of. here's what he said about americans. he said, you know the americans, they always do the right thing after they have tried everything else first. [laughter] >> through publicans also picked up at least 10 more house seats, giving the party its

cory gardner walked away with the senate seat. and the critics of mark udall said he was a one-issue candidate. focused too much on women's issues. a a number of people criticized him for voting 99% of the time with president obama. supporting obamacare. on the flipside, cory gardner, considered a rock star, an up and comer in the gop party. lindsey davis, denver, colorado. >>> we have much more with live team coverage on "good morning america." >>> and a major break in the case of a philadelphia woman kidnapped as she walked home. police released security video of a man they believe just used the victim's bank card. they say the store where he is located off an exit for aberdeen, maryland, 75 miles from philadelphia. her parents are pleading for her safe return. >> please. please give me back my child. give me back my baby. please, give me my child. please. >> whatever you're asking for, me and my family, not pressing any charges. all we want back it our daughter. >> family members say an old boyfriend from maryland was obsessed

that is where the incumbent democrat mark udall faces a stiff challenge from republican cory gardner. >> the crowd goes wild for political star. hillary clinton is in the room. for the former secretary of campaigning for herself yet. she is on the stump for democratic colorado senator mark udall, who is fighting the battle of his political career. two days later it is first lady lady michelle obama who is on the ground in denver rallying voters. her husband is cheating clear, though. the president's popularity ratings are seen as toxic by many democratic candidates. >> if you all want a senator who truly shares your values and will keep on standing up for you and your family, every day out there in washington, then you need to do everything in your power to reelect mark udall as your senator. we have got to get this done, and i know that we can. >> the higher the stakes, the bigger the names, and the stakes for the democrats have hardly been higher. republicans only needed to gain six seats to take over the u.s. senate, a goal that looks within reach. in colorado, republican cory gard

gwen: cory gardner is a perfect example of this. everybody wrote about how he put a sunny face on coif principles but in the state like colorado, very, verify purple, the president has won there twice and he -- the governor is still able to win, he pulled off something the >> in the exit polls compared to 2010, the favorablity of the tea party is down 8 or 10 points. the second is that there is a feeling that this is a different group. they are very quoif -- conservative, as you say. very conservative group but they may have a different mission thapt tea party did. gwen: well, there are many missions and w going to be trabbing them all. . it may seem like they just scraped the surface, and we did. so stick with us as we take this chat on line in the "washington week" stramentthex week, two issues, same-sex marriage and health care, are ack in the courts. keep up with daily developments on "the newshour" and join me next thursday at noon for my monthly "washington week" web chat. surely you will have even more questions for me by the

your thoughts. >> what we see in the different races is cory gardner. they needed to win in the blue and purple states. from what i heard on the ground. this is a state where the war on women was front and center. it was fascinating. women were trending. they had an aggressive out reach. we are hearing from the udall camp, it was a little too late. it will be fascinating to see the numbers on what the republican ground game was, and winning on issues that the republicans usually don't talk about, about attracting women and hispanics. is it interesting to see that in the grimes race, in kentucky. how she did like mary landrieu. >> mitch mcconnell was trending with the women, up by 4 points. >> that's something the democrats will have to look at. >> quick last thoughts? >> we haven't seen big surprises tonight. one quasi surprise is the bright lights for the democrats on a fight like this is supposed to be in the government races, and states that are solidly democratic, that governors candidates are not pulling ahead. they are tight. they are tight in pla

cory gardner is against immigration reform. he's running against mark udall because mark udall didn't get immigration reform passed. so if cory gardner beats mark udall in colorado today, it will be because he ran to the left of mark udall, criticizing mark udall for not being able to deliver on the stuff that cory gardner is opposed to. that tells you that democrats win the argument even if they lose the race. >> before we jump all over the republicans on immigration, which they're wrong on but this president has not been politically deft on immigration. he wants the issue, i'm not sure he wants the damn bill. because he sells it he is for amnesty. why do you think it got a dozen republican votes? it has real tough things on e-verify. it really has to work. you have to be legal here to work here. in four years, you have to have a photo i.d. it's no more hiring cheap labor. it's really tough. and yet he never says that. because he wants to appeal to your community. >> he got up there in the state of the union, he basically said

in colorado, representative cori gardner, another rising star in the g.o.p. beating senator mark udall, the democratic incumbent. >> quite a night, stephanie. from across the country to around the world, our team has been covering the lead-up to this mid-term election. now, the results are in, let's put it into pour expectative starting with joie chen in ? >> think being all of this, wondering why the war on women did not win the war for women. >> that's late polls have been suggesting the republicans had been able to close the jnter gap with women, that they weren't really having the trouble that they had in the 2010, 2012. democrats used this particular mid-term to hang on to this message that republicans were staging a war on women it that reproductive rights were hanging in the balance here and this is a message that had worked for democrats in the past. that. we will watch and see exactly what the number krifrnlingz say about what women did and why they went the way they did. republicans, democrats, they were both considered women, a vital vote in this m

and i just talked to senatorial-elect cory gardner. he didn't think this was a vote for the republicans or against the democrats. he said he really plans to go there into the senate now and work on some of those problems and he's willing to compromise on some of those things. for republicans though this is not just about tonight. this is about 2016. colorado is a red state. that became a blue state. and now i think you'd have to call it very light purple at this point, and the republicans say they need this state in 2016 to win the presidency. a lot of hope in the gop in colorado here tonight and cory gardner and senator mark udall will be coming back to colorado now that he's been defeated. >> han manuel bojorques. to you. >> the incumbent, she told them this is the race she has been waiting for her entire life. because she wants to prove to plns that her experience has yielded results. and that she is not a rubber stamp for president barack obama's policies. her republican challenger bill cassidy has tied her at every turn to the pre

and there were other factors -- >> is cory gardner has good as he looks? >> he actually has some good proposals that were attractive. he focussed on economic security. >> anyway, thank you for your acceptance of the fact that women vote democrat normally. and thank you both for being here. >>> why does president obama seem reluctant to do the political side of his job. there's a great new book called "the stranger," barack obama in the white house. he's coming here to talk about him, next. you're watching "hardball," the place for politics. what you're doing now, janice. blogging. your blog is just pictures of you in the mirror. it's called a fashion blog, todd. well, i've been helping people save money with progressive's discounts. flo, can you get janice a job?

cory gardner ousted is it mark udall. congratulations to you, and welcome. >> thank you and thanks for having me on. >> do you think from what you've heard since the election, do you think the president gets what voters were saying on election night? >> time will tell. look, what i saw on colorado election night wasn't so much about republicans or democrats, but a rejection of the failed ways of washington. democrats happened to be in charge of the senate, and the president. if the president doesn't recogni recognize, he's going to have a challenge over the next couple years. >> what message, senator-elect do you think voters were sending? was it a mandate or kind of a sense they dislike you less than the president and democrats. >> they don't like gridlock and they don't like the way -- if republicans don't prove we can govern with maturity and competent, we'll see the same results two years from now, except it will be a wave going back a different direction. >> in your campaign you reached out to his sparges who make up

it may be in the sense that cory gardner is a very young, charismatic, captivating candidate. age itself hasn't really been an issue. positivity, his ability to present himself as something different than the prickly washington republicans that voters seem to be tired of really has been a big leg up. it surprised a lot of democrats, who thought that you'd all -- l might have a better chance at reelection. >> you just spoke a few minutes ago about what will happen if there's a shift in our in the senate. most voters will go to bed tonight, will they know who is in control of the senate by midnight? >> it's highly unlikely that we know who controls the senate next year by midnight tonight. it democrats are able to maintain some of the early closing seats, new hampshire and north carolina specifically, there is still a chance that the alaskan polls don't even close until midnight. it seems logical that we won't know till wednesday were thursday given the disparate population in that state. georgia, two of the other most closely contested races, it is looking likely if not certain

cory gardner portraying himself as anti-obama and anti-establishment. now, here's why his victory is such a big deal on a national level. not only does his seat help to flip the power in the u.s. senate, but it also tells republicans that they can win in a state like colorado where there is a growing population and growing diversity. so no doubt the gop is going to be looking at gardner's strategy and his success here as they look forward to the presidential election in 2016. >> reporter: i'm at a greg ormon campaign office. the surprising story, the rise of the independent. the independent giving the republican incumbent for u.s. senate a run for his money. but in the end, it was not to be. senator pat roberts keeping his seat by a comfortable 8% margin. in the race for governor, the democrat also had a fighting chance but in the end he also could not unseat the republican, governor sam brownback keeping his job as the head of this state, kansas, typically a republican state decides to stay red. >>> a senate seat stays red in georgia. republican david

senator-elect colorado congressman cory gardner. good to see you. congratulations on your big win. >> hi, sean. thanks for having me on. great to be with you. >> every republican that won elections last night including yourself, you said repeal/replace obamacare, secure american borders first. you heard the president today, he's going to be combative. how should republicans deal with it? >> i think the american people spoke clearly last night. they're not satisfied with the united states senate that simply does nothing, that creates more problems instead of solutions. and that's why we have to convince this president to work with us on ideas that the american people are supportive of. that's the keystone pipeline, that's tax reform, that's making sure we repeal the medical device tax, repeal the independent payment advisory board. those things have bipartisan support we can put on the president's desk. >> he has shown no inclination to do what you're asking. he's only met with senator mcconnell twice in six years. if he won't meet you halfway, shoul

like what happened to cory gardner in colorado, the saying that he wanted to ban contraceptive, which he had never said, but cory gardner is not going to sue anyone, but he won so it doesn't really matter. >> let's not just say this is a democratic issue here. >> example? >> example, i'll bring some examples tomorrow, but there's so many of them that it would be impossible for me to begin to start. >> any problem with this? >> no, you know what? we're saying that it's bad that they used it to fundraise, but we use it to fundraise, it's called making money. we take things out of context all the time, cable shows do it all the time to make money. we would be a hypocrite if we said he had a leg to stand on. rush does not have a leg to stand on on this, i like him, he's famous, he says stuff like this a lot. sometimes he's being facetious, sometimes he's being serious. he has a -- sometimes i'm listening to rush and i'm going, this is a really interesting story about consumer fraud, and then i realize that it's a commercial. because i didn't know that he actually changed and was doing a c
