donald trump held. and if you listened to the stump street speech, terry mcauliffe gives day after day after day, he tries to tie youngkin to trump. both of them out on the campaign trail today. youngkin has five advance, mcauliffe has ten. he ends his day here at a halloween parade in lease bergh. i did talk to a senior mcauliffe official last night who said that they were very encourage, because they ve been hearing so much about the ensue these enthusiasm. they were encouraged yesterday that they had so many volunteers turnout here in this critical county, that they really had to go very fast to figure out how to utilize all of them. they think that is part of the enthusiasm. people are getting because they know now that this race is too close to call. guys? all right, chris jansing. thanks so much. we now want to bring in democratic non-nominee for lieutenant governor of virginia. paula iowa. we ve also reached out to her opponent, that didn t hear. back through the morning to yo
leaves office. still clinton has been treated virtually as the presumed democratic nominee for 2016 up and through this whole benghazi episode. hillary in 2016? wouldn t that be exciting? i hope she goes. why wouldn t she? there are things of why clinton may want to make sure she has a high-profile place to testify next month simply to put a period on this sentence is. speaking of national security, been a rough past couple of weeks for obama s national security future national security team. ambassador susan rice ended up having to take herself out of consideration for the secretary of state job. and another now another non-nominee, if you will, republican senator chuck hagel is under fire. criticism turned into a feeding frenzy yesterday. wasn t just from republican senators, conservative groups, but also the pro-israel community and now the washington post editorial page who this morning said chuck
hagel is not the right choice for defense secretary. susan rice, now chuck hagel. neither one of them were ever actually nominated and they are getting vetted in a way without a support mechanism from the white house since they can t fully defend their nominees since these are not actual nominees yet. this has been a rough period i think to be a non-nominee for a national security post given all the other things going on and all the other focus of of the white house. to put is simply, it s been a bit sloppy. up next, arizona congressman ron barber. he was wounded when a gunman opened fire on gabby giffords nearly two years ago. now what he s saying about gun control and the precarious nature of the fiscal cliff talks. plus, a high honor for the late senator daniel inouye. 11:45 this morning we expect

i don t think he will get the nomination, of course. but that could have an outcome on who does get the nomination. if you are pulling people away from potentially a newt gingrich or others who might have a stronger libertarian streak on economic policy, that could help mitt romney. bret: charles? as the non-nominee i think he could have the largest say of anybody in the country on who wins the general election. if he decides to run as an independent, he has a base, extremely loyal. we know how large it is. if he ran, he could hand election to obama. it it would be best thing for democrats in this entire cycle. bret: by the way, that google hangout, is on our special report home page. also, it will be on the fox news youtube page. the channel. shortly. that is it for the panel. but stay tuned for finding out what works and sticking with it.
