I had those little scissors. [laughter] listen, four years ago, the democrats lost the governors rate by 20 votes per precinct. 20 votes. 20. That was your cousin pookie not voting. That was jim, who was like drinking beer and setting up his fantasy football for next week, and he didnt vote. That is what happened. 20 votes could decide whether millions of hardworking pennsylvanians get the raise they deserve. Those 20 votes could decide whether teachers get the support they need and whether our kids get a fair shot. 20 votes. Your vote matters. It decides the course that pennsylvania will take, so i am not just asking you to vote, because i know all of you are going to vote. You have got to get involved. There are organizers here. As you are going out, you should try to hook up with them and talk to them about volunteering. Go to voteforpa. Com. Volunteer. Make some phone calls. Knock on some doors. Grab people you know. The election is too important to leave it to somebody else. It is up to you, and you make a difference. Listen. I know i know that the hardest thing in politics is stubborn status quo, and for the young people here especially, i want to emphasize this. Sometimes it seems like folks in power care more about power than they care about you. I know that. And you are fed information every day that says nothing is changing, and everything is terrible, and when we do make progress, you dont hear about that. Ye hear about some conflict or some phony controversy, and over time, you get cynical, and you think, you know what . What i do doesnt make a difference, so you do not get involved, and sometimes you do not even bother to vote, and i am just here to say, especially to the young people, do not buy that. Do not buy that. Because despite the cynics, america is making progress. This country always makes progress despite unyielding issues. Unyielding opposition. There are workers who did not have a job before. There are families who have Health Insurance who did not have them before. There are students who going who are going to college who could not afford before. There are troops home from iraq and afghanistan with their families who were not home before. You know, cynicism is sometimes passed off as wisdom. There is nothing wise about it. Cynicism did not put a man on the moon. Cynicism never started a business or cured a disease or fueled a young minds. Cynicism is a choice, and hope is a better choice. Hope is what gave young people the courage to march for civil rights and Voting Rights and workers rights and womens rights and immigrants rights and gay rights, and hope is what built this country. The belief that there are better days ahead. The belief that together we can build up our middle class, that we can pass down Something Better for our kids. That is what built pennsylvania. That is what built america, a belief that americas best days are still ahead. You have got to believe it, and you have got to act on it. You have got to vote, and you have got to vote for tom wolf, and when you do, i promise you a better pennsylvania and a Better Future for this country. God bless america. Lets get to work.

Org] close i look a sum of a house and senate races in the closing days of campaign 2014. This is from washington journal. She is a reporter from a roll call. They join us for the final political roundtable for the cycle. In the 11th hour, does it feel like there is more uncertainty about how or when this will end . Than previous cycles . Guest certainly the when is new, it seems clear we will have a runoff in indiana at which means it will not be decided until the first week of december, it seems plausible we will have a runoff in georgia which means it will not be decided until january, at which point i am planning to take the rest of the year off. If we are stuck here that long. That is unusual, uncommon. We also have to wonder, so if some of them will be as close as they appear to be are there going to be recounts and legal challenges . Those things could take weeks , months themselves. We could be here for a while, as they say. Host Abby Livingston, on the range of uncertainty, usa today s webpage has seven tossup races, real clear politics eight races that are tossups. Roll call as for tossups. Tossups. Ur some political reports have 10 tossups, why so much uncertainty . These races are down to the wire. The polling we are hearing about is within the margin of error, up one week by one point and down one week by another. My best barometer of how things are going in individual races is when i talk to people on the hill and the changes in their tone of voice. That is what i am relying on, are they more panicked this week or less panicked . Who is the most panicked that you talk to . Guest certainly democrats. The one certainty about the house is that they republicans will gain control and we have known that for a long time. But it comes down to the individual incumbent, and are their friends going to be coming back . There is fear that their best friend on the floor will not be coming back, about 17 of them are in serious trouble. Host what is a wave election and how do we know when it is coming . Guest a wave election is when you see a tremendous sweep and change in control. I think we are very close to seeing a republican takeover of the senate, i am not sure if whether that will count as a wave if they control it 5150, if they win everything on the table, if they run the table and win all of these in between seats, maybe you can call that a wave. If scott brown wins in new amateur, one of the earlier closing states, and he beats jean for a democratic held seat, if thom tillis beats kay hagan in North Carolina on the east coast for a democratic held seat, that is where you begin to see the signs. Those are the states where at the moment democrats have the best chance of holding on. If they lose those two first it does not look good in iowa already and by the time we get to alaska at 3 00 in the morning, it could very well have been a sweep for republicans. Host are you bracing for a wave at all . Guest on the outside possibly, house side possibly, projections keep getting higher. Some people say the range could go to 12. I actually heard the number 24, that is hard to digest. What is going on in the house is a republicans have somebody seats that there arent that many more to win. They may be held to a standard that they think is unfair, there just arent that many districts left. Host susan davis, a reporter for usa today she had a tweet, last week. Amazing that 800 billion is spent on house races for what will be a movement of five to 10 seats and no change of party control. 800 million. Guest im looking forward to after the election when we see the final numbers if it is four seats and 1 billion spent. We are just in a total arms race of money. That is what it takes to hold onto those seats. Host we are talking of Abby Livingston of roll call. And paul singer of usa today your call usa today. Host we will start with George Culligan calling in from South Carolina on the line for republicans. Good morning, everyone. I think the presence of those who want and can participate is much more than the previous election, at least it shows that. Am 25 years old looking at this community at this election as the persons the people come to give their vote it will be less than the previous one because they want to boycott the election host paul singer, talking about voter turnout what are the expectations. He has a good point, there was a poll in usa today a couple of days ago that found people were not excited about going to vote and not enthusiastic about who would take Congress Next and we have this great quote from a voter who says it is just a cornucopia cky out there. George is right, i would be stunned to see significant turnout. The democrats are making a major push, particularly in louisiana, georgia, even alaska to get people to the polls. If they are going to win these races, all of these places need tremendous turnout particularly among enormities and young people. Host some of the headlines from today, here is washington post. Drama in the home stretch, gop closes in but it may not and on election day. In in early voters turn droves to cast their ballots. One story from the miami herald. The final push. Lets go to lena, portland, oregon. Say that would like to first i have already voted and i think as a person of color i would like to say one of the problems that weighs heavy with me i want to make this sound as good as i can, as respectful democrats ie look at how they are running from obama. Grimes she was enough to make you want to cry but all over the country they are doing that and the man has done better than haveabout any president i ever known, i m 65 years old. What do you want from him, he is not god. People are not voting with their pocketbooks, they are voting grace. Voted, ilike me, i have felt hard fallen because it doesnt matter whether i vote, i would never vote for a republican but the democrats are such cowards anything to get elected so they seem to be just as powerhungry as the republicans. Lena rings up at highprofile kentucky race, our house candidates running away from president obama as much as the senators . Good lena had a really point in this is a growing debate, the you go all in with the president , get your base to come out or run from him. What is happening in a lot of these house races is democrats are running in hostile territory. For instance in southern west virginia, nick needs to win by 90 . President obama internally poling when thauf kind of dynamic its really hard for Nick Ray Hall to say i know you dont like obama but still vote for me. Theres a nuance he has to do. I cant think of any specific ads but hes definitely not hugging president obama and inviting him to come into the district. You bring up nick ray hal listed in your recent story out from yesterday one of the most vulnerable house incumbents. Who else makes that list according to the roll call analysis . We have some interesting members. Illinois tops the list. Theres a bad feeling in illinois this year. The gubetorle race is dragging down democrats. He got a late start to his campaign and he as freshman. So he really hasnt established his brand. Most people think nick ray hal is the most vulnerable. Hes got a good local branch they call him nicky joe in the district. Thats why we felt he wasnt number one we moved him down kind of contrary to conventional wisdom. Another closely watched one lee terry. Guest yes. Host the most number two. Guest and he is a republican. He made a comment during the Government Shutdown about how he needed to accept his paycheck when a lot of other members were turning him down to pay for his nice house. That has not sat well. People on the street can repeat the advertisements repeating his quotes verbatim. So he has a very toxic presence right now. So his problem is not necessarily whats going on in the big picture but it reflects the anger voters feel. Host if you want to check out that entire list its roll call. Com. You can see on the screen there. Those are the race ratings for all the different house races around the country. Florence, South Carolina on our line for republicans. Good morning. Caller good morning. Go ahead. Caller good morning. Host youre on the washington journal. Go ahead. Caller i think our government is broken. It needs to be completely overhauled. Therefore, i believe that they all need to be voted out and all new voted in. Think this is the time as i think this is a time that our military active reserve retired and former need to get out and vote. Host wayne with a comment on the getting out the vote. Talk about tossing the bums out. The dissatisfaction that voters have. Have we seen more members than usual this cycle be defeated more incumbents be defeated this cycle than usual . Guest we thought there may be a wave of incumbents being challenged particularly on the republican side with tea party challengers. We didnt actually see a great deal of that. A lot of the incumbents managed to dig in. At the moment one of the most exciting on the republican side remains pat roberts of kansas where you have hes actually running an independent named greg orman theyre neck and neck. Hard to tell whats going to happen. Host are we going to see more independents run in the future . Guest thats an interesting question. You could in theory now have a three or four member independent block in the senate at the end of this election cycle which would be pretty remarkable. You know, independent candidates still have the same problem that its hard to get name recognition its hard to get Party Support and frequently in many states they cant get on the ballot. The Ballot Access issues are extraordinary for third parties and independent. So e it remains ab institutional problem where you cannot get easily on third parties on a ballot and theyre not going to win lots of seethe but theres an enormous dwiss satisfaction with both parties. So its a nice opportunity for rossdz perot or high dollar figure to step up and fund their own campaign in 2016. I wouldnt be surprised if you see somebody trying to make that case. Host but easier than a house or senate level . Sometimes. But its hard tore get traction in those small races if the parties are so even trenched theres no other avenue for you. I think theres a couple in new york in the house seats trying to get on the ballots and again trying to get traction and attention. Its hard to do. Host gerald in highland, california. Good morning. Thanks for getting up with us. Caller thank you for allowing me to get in there. Im a retired naval Commander Special operations i fought in vietnam twice as a sea be. What i want to mention i see both parties doing this same thing. Its the same old sandwich different mayonnaise nothing is going to be done at the ballot. Its going to take something much more severe because these guys are lying lawyers both sides of the parties. They never tell the truth. They dance around the issue. They will not answer you yes or no. And were frustrated. I am so sick of this nonsense. Its like somebody telling me theyre peeing on my leg and its only rain. Were tired of the lies, the all the nonsense going on. Also like wall street during the bubble no one went to jail. I told my students im a retired college professor, too. Go to wall street change your last name youll never go to prison and you can steal all you want. Host youve been out on the campaign trail a bit. Are you seeing that same sentiment that gerald expresses with the frustration of congress . Guest absolutely. And gerald had an interesting point and reflects the unique thing about this cycle, which is in past cycles theres been anger at one party or the other. President obama, president bush, congress. But whats going on here is voters are angry at both obama and both the republicans. And its really what were trying to do is figure out where the anger is concentrated more and how it plays out. So this is just a very interesting dynamic. And they want to throw the bums out but then they hate the other side, too. So its just its a very, very strange cycle. Ost a question for you. I havent heard too much about them at this point. I think that theyre going to fall in line. I dont know that but it seems like the fact that kay hagan is still in a tight race that the republicans are coming out. If they were going to sit that one out she wouldnt she would be walking away with this. So i dont know too much about that but it seems like the fact that these races are still competitive means that theyre saying theyre going to come out. Host your thoughts on the future of Tea Party Versus Establishment Republicans after the 2014 cycle . Guest well you still see some appearance of tea party candidates. Like in louisiana rob main nuss is probably going to be a critical factor. He doesnt look likely to win. Hes taking maybe 10, 12 of the vote but he may very well deny a flat out victory to the republicans. So and sara palin is still up with advertisements this weekend for man ust. So there still is an element of voters who are really disappointed with the Republican Party are not ready to embrace the Democratic Party and the Tea Party Still expresses i think the tea party to the degree there is such a party it still represents where they are on the spectrum. Where the question is when they walk into a voting booth and see a tea party or third party an outside candidate will they cast that vote or will they cast a vote for the bill cassidy or the other republican who seems to be more likely to win and a better choice than a democrat. Host talking with paul singer and Abby Livingston with roll call one of their Campaign Staff writers. Here to answer your questions, take your comments for the next half hour as were in our last political roundtable before the 2014 election. Chicago, on our line for democrats. Caller good morning. When i see people like these two people come on the program and i applaud them because this is what theyre getting paid to do but i hear them say they are and if. How can you say they are going to win and then you turn around and say if . If they were so good in their predictions why didnt somebody tell romney in 2012 that he was going to take a whooping . I hear karl rove talking about the president is going to be beat. And until the last vote is counted on november 3 how can you come on tv and just unless you know something that the public doesnt know . These republicans are going to take over . And this is my last thing. I asked a couple of months ago from George Washington to george bush as far as Foreign Policy goes, how many men did they get . This president from bin laden to ben gaza who we spent millions of dollars tracking down. The president has gotten his men. Host i want to stick on projections and how you come up with these tossup categories leaning one way or the other. How does u. S. A. Today do it . Guest well, its a great point. I want to underscore this exactly. None of us know anything. This is all based on prediction, on polling, on our understanding of the races, on sort of feeling the mood on the ground. None of us know anything. The voters go to the polls on election day and they make the decisions. All we are offering you at the moment is what we call educated guesses. And thats one of the reasons why when john asked how come the various u. S. A. Today, the rothenberg, roll call all have slightly different analysis, thats why. Its because nobody voted. Well, in the early voting states people have vote bud we dont know how theyve voted. So all of these are based on what we know about the voters and how the polls have trended. I give more faith to polls over time than i do any specific individual poll. So last night the iowa poll showed joanie ernst up 7 points against bruce brailleie. Thats the biggest lead any time since the election season. Does that mean that joanie ernst is going to win by 7 points . Yorning so. But what it does reflect is a trend if you look at all the polling over the summer into the fall you will see that joanie ernst has done well and better in all the polls. That suggests momentum in her direction. So i dont mean to say and i dont think any of us mean to say heres the outcome. We know whats going to happen. I will tell you that every reporter i know has their own sort of betting pool like, well, i bet you its going to be maybe 8, 6, 7, 5. Were doing our best guessing and trying to give the viewers an opportunity to hear what we think is the most likely scenario or the trend in the election. But we are not calling races. Host the Des Moines Register oll, heres the chart of it. Abby give us an example of predibblingting a race and coming up with how you go about calling leans or tossups. Do georgias 12 strict down there. Guest thats a hard one. And im very glad that this year Stewart Rothenberg is the main caller of these races and that has been taken off me because its one of the most stressful parts of the job. Georgia 12 is fascinating because you have john bareo who is a blue dog democrat who has been in office for years and years. And he is what we qual a white whale republicans keep trying to come after him and he keeps getting reelected. He runs some of the best ads of the cycle. He host and is always listed as the most vulnerable or one of the most vulnerable at the beginning. Guest and we have quit putting his name on the list because its it just never happened. So its almost a superstitious thing. The republicans dont talk him up as much as they used to. They dont even want to go there. So the other thing thats good for him this year beyond the superstition and the fun of it is that michelle nun is at the top of the ticket and could be offering him some relief that he hasnt had in years past. But hes just a really testify lon candidate who can make the case to his voters that i am a democrat but you know me and you like me and keep sending me back. So i have this fear weve kept him off the list and then this is the year he losings and we get it wrong. Host what does the race ranking right now . Guest i believe its a tossup maybe leans or tilts d but hes just a fantastic candidate that outperforms his district. Host you can see all those rankings at roll call. Com. Story from roll call on the final rankings of the ten most vulnerable senators. E can run through thats the final rankings according to roll call of the ten most vulnerable senators. We want to get to your calls. Marianne, pittsburgh, pennsylvania. Good morning. Caller hi. I just wanted to let the American People know that when everybody in the Democratic Party, when they had the senate and the house they voted for a Health Care Law that nobody has ad and just passed and how incompetent is that . And bring all of our businesses people getting fired and losing their jobs. And here i just got a 73 nterest hike on my health care premiums. Any democrat that would vote that never read the law nancy pelosi should be fired. She really should all of them. Arry reid. Does this cause the downfall of the American People . And also, i have to say is why didnt the lady that got beheaded in Oklahoma City after the president got on and talked about trayvon martin, about that other eric holder incident and Michael Brown which we feel bad about . But why was no attention brought to that lady that got her head cut off . And also host you bring up several issues. I want to stick to the Campaign Issue of health care and how thats played this cycle. I want to give paul singer the politics under u. S. A. Today to talk about the evolution of that as a Campaign Issue in campaign 2014. Guest its really interesting. Scott browns race in New Hampshire gave sort of an interesting perspective on it. When he first announced that he was going to be running for senate in New Hampshire, all of his press releases for the first three weeks were obamacare. That was all they were. Obamacare is lousy. This is early in the spring this year. Over time his press releases began to change and other topics began to come in, particularly terrorism and ebola and things like that. And i think that is a good barometer of how obama care has played during this election season. We thought originally that it was going to be the issue that drow people to the polls. All the republicans would say the obamacare was a terrible thing and its destroyed america. And we thought democrats would refuse to take any credit for it. What has been surprising is to see in some races, even in arkansas mark prior having an ad saying i was proud to vote for health care for people who had existing conditions. I was proud to vote for health care for your children to stay stay on your health plan. So democrats have found some things that they can embrace in the Affordable Care act. And republicans as the thing has turned out not to be as unpopular as they have expected have turned to other issues. Obamacare the Affordable Care act is still an issue that republicans cite as being part of the problem that needs to be fixed or repaired. Theres Much Less Energy on sort of replace the whole thing, tear it out and start over than there would have been a year ago. Host talking about some of the senate races. Are you seeing the same dynamic in the house races that youve covered . Guest were absolutely flum oxed by how few ads were seeing about obamacare. We were amping up and expecting that. I think part of it is that voters do find things that they like about it. Specific issues within the legislation. I also think its just the ads have been run to death for four years and they no longer register with the viewer. So i think its more i think its partially a need to be more creative with ads but i think its also clear that its they need to branch out to other issues and add to the competence issue, the chaos in the world issue. Its just one of many issues rather than the dominating issue. Host talk about all the campaign ads this cycle. I want to show some of the Late Campaign ads. Heres one from Mitch Mcconnell playing on the idea of the number of Campaign Commercials in his own campaign commercial. You know, a lot of people try to tell me how to do my commercials. We see you between two trucks. That sounds dangerous. Hey, mitch. What about using a talking baby . Thats been done before. Well then with you and blood hounds . Thats not going to work. Maybe its enough to say mitch fights for kentucky. Maybe this isnt such a bad idea. Im Mitch Mcconnell and i approve this message. Host is it time for those kind of ads . Who does not like politicians and blood hounds . Guest i think at a certain point you are still trying to make the message to your voters that you hear them, you understand what theyre saying. And in fact a lot of voters now are saying please stop were tired of it. This is an opportunity to make Mitch Mcconnell a little more personable. Which again for mcconnell is an important point to make. Hes not the most likeable guy. I doipt mean hes bad. Hes very in his shell most of the time. Heres an opportunity to show hes just another guy having fun. Host the Democratic Senatorial Campaign can he wanting to touch on a few issues on that campaign with their own late ds in kentucky this cycle. Host the late ads this that closely watched kentucky race. We want to talk about the races important to you. Our viewers. And for about the next 20 minutes or so here on the washington journal in our final political roundtable of the 2014 cycle. Illinois on our line for independents. Good morning. Caller good morning. How are you doing . Host good. Go ahead. Caller i just watch these ads and i understand that theyre trying to get reelected for a job that theyre not doing. None of them. Obama included. He hasnt done anything. The only thing i see him doing is [inaudible] he got out on the golf course. I dont see [inaudible] hes not a leader. He doesnt take responsibility for anything. And the democrats just run off behind him. I just dont understand that. Host abby give you a chance to jump in. That image of president obama on the golf course. Gave a lot of attention at what was going on around the world and what the United States was dealing with . How did that play out . Guest people are unhappy with it. Its not reassuring. I think it just speaks to the larger issue that they feel like that many voters feel like theres a competence issue. Sometimes i feel like democrats on the hill are angrier at president obama than republicans. They feel like he hasnt done the things he needs to do to take care of himself politically to help them. And even though he wont be on the ballot to give them cover or make things less bad for them and theyre having to defend themselves and fight his fight for him in the districts where theyre running. Host up next from ormand beach, florida. Good morning. Caller good morning. That last caller was way off base. Its on record that president obama has created more jobs than in all the 8 years that bush was in spithe of the fact that from day one of his presidency the republicans and their corporate buddies have deliberately held back jobs figuring that the next president would be a republican like romney and they would get a sweeter deal. But heres the facts. Governor scott here in florida when he was a ceo of a hospital before he became governor ripped off medicare the federal government for billions. And see thats how they operate. They dont like the government but they like to steal or exploit government by just like in georgia where nun the democrat is running against this purdue the guy that owned general dollar store. He bragged about outsourcing jobs. He bragged about it. I dont figure it out. But then look at paul ryan. Look at his budget. No benefits for the unemployed. No help for the students. But who is his hero . Paul ryan. Host in terms of the idea, who can get more done or who has gotten more done whether its job creation, the romback report to watching on twitter writes bawl what do you make about this debate of who is getting more done . Guest to some degree your last two callers encapsulate a lot of the issues that were seeing on the trail, which is that for republicans the conversation is very heavily about obama and harry reid and the failure of the National Democratic agenda they would say. Bomes been a bad president. Is the message. They terrorist attacks are growing. And thats a bad thing. Ebola is out of control. For republicans on the campaign, a lot of these campaigns all across the country its obama is the first message. For the democrats, its the exact opposite. Thafere trying to focus on whats gone on in the state, what has the senator or the capped date done in the state to help the state grow its jobs, to help the economy improve. They dont want to talk about obama at all if they can avoid it. It is almost as if theres two campaigns. Theres a Republican Campaign which is about the National Issues theres a Democratic Campaign about the state issues. The question is which one the voters here. The advantage the republicans have is that obama gets much more press and the bad things happening in the world get much more press than the good things that might be happening at the state level that the democrats want to emphasize. Guest if i could jump in on that. One thing she noted that ive found remarkable is that the Unemployment Rate is down and the stock market is soaring. And its not the economy is not an issue on the campaign. Bank accounts are growing. 401 k s. But we just do not see the economy surfacing in advertising. Theres no victory lap in the Democratic Party that im seeing. Its about almost everything but the economy. So its a fascinating dynamic that in six years how far the country has come and its just not anything anyone is talking about. Host lets go out to oklahoma where jims been waiting on our line for republicans. Good morning. Caller good morning. Your show isnt long enough to mention every failure obamas been by far the worst president. The most horrible thing is hes taxing our military in forward position in combat while he and his husband or wife, whatever you want to call them is spending money overseas. Hes aided the muslim brotherhood. And the big problem with our country is the g. O. P. And the dnc, which two people we need to vote for . And until we change the country is screwed. Host how would you change it . Caller the what . Host would you change the primaries . The way candidates are picked . Caller we have more choice than like dancing with stars or Something Like that. But to pick over 300 Million People picking between who is going to be our president were told two people. Plus our government tells us how much theyre going to make. We the people should tell the government how much theyre going to make. If they overspend the government they should be fired or in jail. Host some of the frustrations that the caller brings up. Guest if i remember correctly and i cannot guarantee that i do. But oklahoma is one of the hardest states for a thirdparty candidate to get on the ballot for the presidency, which is sort of interesting. And remember this is again a wacky thing about america. Our National Elections are run by states independently. So who you can vote for for president in oklahoma is not the same list of candidates as who you can vote for president in massachusetts. Every state has their own Ballot Access rules. And so across the country the president tial ballot, who you can vote for, is different. And while the democrats and the republicans will be on every ballot in every state, the libertarians, the constitution party, the green party, pick your other independent or third party, will not be on the ballot in every state. They have to spend time and money litigating this issue to get on those ballots. And so jim is right that we have more choice in the tooth paste aisle than we do in the president ial ballot most years which can imstunning to people. Whether that is good or bad is not my department. I dont do good or bad. But i can tell you that it is always been an issue that the rules are different and who you can vote for is different depending on where you live. Host the last caller with a bit of criticism for the president. Coming up on the next washington journal heidi looks at key races in the coming elections. And then the Harvard Institute of politics talks about younger voters. We examined the justice departments role in monitoring federal elections.

Commitment, q a with a lincoln historian. Then, David Cameron takes questions at the house of commons. Then rand paul and president obama in philadelphia. This week on q a, our guest is harold holzer, author of lincoln and the power of the press the war for public opinion.
