florida, florida, florida, 90% of the vote is now in. >> it is surprising how close it is given the fact that both democrats and republicans in the state had thought that hillary clinton had a slight edge. we're still waiting for a lot of outstanding vote in southeastern florida which is a democratic stronghold. but he's up more than 100,000 votes as of now with 91% of the vote in. >> impressive lead but it could certainly come back depending on what happens in those heavily democratic counties in the southeast. >> and look, they not only spent money but they also sent their most prized resources, the candidates and both of them have been there to florida 25 times, holding 45 events. in one state. that tells you everything you need to know about why this is so close. >> anderson, night is turning out to be a real nail biter. >> it is. let's talk with gloria borger and david axelrod. as you look at florida, donald trump has a lead of some 100,000 votes. broward and palm beach. >> there are about 800,000. i was just speaking with a republican in the state, 800,000 to a million votes still

in florida. marco rubio decided he would run for re-election at the last minute after losing the gop nomination. even in his home state primaries. he's facing democratic congressman patrick murphy. too close to call even with 80% of all precincts reporting. in new hampshire the republican senator kelly ayotte facing the democratic governor, maggie hassan. this one had been close but in the late going, kelly ayotte has made a big serge. only 6% of the vote are in. we're not able to call that. in pennsylvania, the republican senator pat toomey trying to hang onto his seat against the democrat katie mcginty. in illinois the republican senator mark kirk facing off duckworth. we have just called this. tammy duckworth is the winner in the state of illinois for the united states senate. now that is a pickup for democrats. that's one pickup on the night so far for democrats. tammy duckworth unseated mark kirk. not all together surprising. we sort of expected this but in a world where you need to pick up

florida, florida, florida as tim russert used to say. as florida goes, the election will go. >> well, the interesting thing about florida is whether donald trump will have lost florida because the empire strikes back, the latinos which have traditionally not come out to vote are suddenly coming out this time around. if the latinos make the difference in this margin in florida, one can make the argument he lost that election the day gold-plated elevator 15 months ago and started talking about a wall and doubling down on rhetoric that a lot of latinos found offensive to them. early voting shows they may have come out. they are disproportionately latino this year. >> tom, is that how your polls have looked? >> it's close. it's a toss-up. sean spicer was just saying it's still very early going there. i expect it's going to be really close in florida. >> morgan, from the republican side, sean spicer talking about a heavy turnout in the panhandle. >> which is still voting, by the way. >> sure. but a huge turnout from the exit polling and just

[laughter] but my point is, we, florida, gets the blame. florida, oh, florida. but this is true of many of these stories. people like a guy decides to pleasure himself in a stuffed animal in the bedding d. of walmart -- department of walmart, he's not going to go to ohio to do that. [laughter] he's coming here, okay? we are ellis island for these people, okay? [laughter] so there's that. that's part of my defense. many of the people doing these things are not really from here. very few people are really from here, let's be honest. and there are some wonderful things about our state. we have terrific weather down here except during hurricane season which runs from june through the following june. [laughter] how many of you got taken in by matthew this year? i was holding out, because i'm so used to this. same drill, yeah, right, it's coming here. no, really, it could. you know, don't -- everybody be calm, but this could kill you. and so, you know, you're staying calm. finally, you know, they keep showing the cone and the thing, and even though you know it's not c

you have us in florida, donald trump jr. in new york. >> it does happen. >> and the control center there in washington, d.c. now says we have his audio back. your audio is back. i'll ask the question. a year and a couple of months since your father walked back down the escalator to announce his candidacy. did you ever think you'd be here now? >> listen, i've learned not to bet against him. it's been an honor and a privilege for me to go around the country and meet people who have been so affected and/or disaffected, frankly, by washington, d.c. politics. but honestly for me, for my brother, my sister, it's changed us a lot. when you see people who have gone through what they've gone through, when you see the people who have lost so much hope in their government and you see that glimmer of hope in their eyes that you may be able to change that around, it's pretty amazing. it's been a very humble and a very special year for us. >> we often talk about the commander in chief test. and whether someone running for president can pa

, florida, florida. tonight we have breaking news tonight about an important new tracking survey of early voters and likely voters in florida. this is the first poll in florida that includes actual early voters. how they have voted. so this poll is giving us a picture of the early voting results in florida right now. and if we can get data like this for only one state, florida is the state we want. florida is once again the most important state on the electoral map. because democrats and republicans all agree that hillary clinton has alternative routes to an electoral college victory that do not have to include winning florida, but donald trump, donald trump has no other way. it is virtually impossible to win the electoral college for donald trump without florida's 29 electoral college votes. florida is do or die for the trump campaign. and donald trump's campaign schedule proves that. donald trump has three campaign events tomorrow in florida. hillary clinton was in florida today, but tomorrow she will

remember florida, florida, florida. 29 electoral votes are at stake. all of a sudden hillary clinton has a lead there. 30% of the vote is now in. let's go over to john king at the magic wall. i want to talk about florida. all of a sudden a big chuck of votes came in and she's doing well. >> a big chunk of votes from traditionally and very important democratic areas. miami dade, 61% to 36%. that is a small basket of votes from miami dade. that is the first dump of early votes from miami dade. just to compare this. this is one thing we're going to do all night. especially in florida. 61-36. back and look, 62-38. about the same. and just after you left, palm beach county came in. donald trump has said he'll do well here. this is where mar l-a-lago is. at the moment so much. we have a long way to go. so early votes being dumped in for the most part. let's see where we go through the night. that is what hillary clinton needs to do. 61 37. when you look at that back in time 58-61. right now in the very early results hillary clinton running up the percentages

recount in florida. a number of states are still too close to call including michigan, pennsylvania, new hampshire and wisconsin. >> you can catch some election coverage on www.wfla.com as these results continue to come in throughout the night. we will be here, our team is in the news center watching these results come in. >> you know what the best part is after tomorrow? no more commercials. of florida on this presidential election this year. >> what about the robocalls,

>> florida, florida, florida. i believe i'm going to see the early vote out of florida and we will learn a lot from that. that's the ball game. >> anything they didn't mention? >> michigan. i'm interested in michigan and that's the question a lot of michigan gop operatives are saying is that there is a chance for trump there. that's something we had not seen and i wonder hoe close it will be up there. >> is there a path for trump without florida? >> i don't see how it happens without florida. i really don't. there are so many ways that if anything goes wrong, he is short. he has to run the table. that's tough. >> without florida, he has to have michigan. and something else probably. because florida is so huge. he has to have michigan and something else. >> and north carolina. no one has any idea. that could go either way. i feel like that's the true closest race. >> absolutely. >> the larger story that i think is going on here is the north-south thing. how we reversed. trying to find a kickoff. >> if michigan is a

florida state, florida wouldn't schedule them for the longest time. and then they were forced to schedule them. the miami/florida state rivalry is a little bit more respectful. there's a little bit more bitter feelings in this one, between the seminoles and the gators. the schools are closer together. and the feelings are a little bit more intense between the two schools. >> joe: for year, florida wouldn't play them. wouldn't come here. for the older fans, it means a lot especially. austin appleby, 14 of 29 tonight, only 109 yards passing. as he cranks this up and gets it complete to lewis. all the injuries that florida has had to deal with. they've been shuffling up that offensive line, as another strike to lewis. of course, luke del rio was ahead of appleby on the quarterback depth chart. there he is. we invite you to stay tuned for mac and mark and stan. curious to hear their opinions, as to what has happened today. cassidy's done a great job all night long, as well. final half minute here in tallahassee. appleby with cronkrite out of the backfield

florida. >> florida, florida, florida. i mentioned in the beginning, the state that's been the bellwether has been hillsboro county. ta a hillsboro county, hillary clinton has a big lead. that doesn't mean it's going to continue to be a bellwether, but it's always been one. overall in florida, the count is incredibly tight. it's still donald trump with a slight lead, but as i mentioned, a lot of democratic votes still to be counted. >> polls just closed in other battleground states. michigan, 16 electoral votes, matthew dowd. michigan has also been one of the states, like pennsylvania, republicans towards the end think, this is one we can get. >> they looked at the limited nature of the map for donald trump, the places where he could win the election, he needed to flip a blue state. they went for wisconsin, pennsylvania, then settled on michigan. then the clinton folks got nervous about bunch of surrogates there in the last days. it's a state that's divided. detroit will vote overwhelmingly for hillary clinton, and the res

florida, florida, florida, chuck said. our decision night in america continues here on nbc. >>> good evening. i'm russ mitchell, this is cheryl shipman. the night many of you have been waiting for is finally here, it is election night and polls are officially closed in ohio. >> they closed just about 24 minutes ago and the associated here in ohio. republican senator rob fortman defeated former governor ted stricklin and will serve another six years in washington, d.c. >> results for other major races still rolling in, manny abraham is outside the summit county board of elections but first check come with hilary golston at the warehouse where the votes will be counted. good evening. >> reporter: good evening russ and sarah, we are starting to see the ballots co and we are also seeing a lot of digital data also which is important in getting a final number that's really important for the board of elections here. now, one thing i can tell you is that there's a lot of activity that's now started to taking place -- take place, a

south florida is key for her. we always talk about the i-4 corridor around central florida, tips the balance of the state, but the bulk of the votes are in miami-dade, broward and if she can get democrats here, build a blue wall against florida between votes here and in orlando, doesn't matter what north florida does, because there's not enough people. meanwhile, trump is in tampa, was in tampa, in sarasota monday sand shore up the deep republicans in southwest florida and try to keep margins close. >> thank you for being with us, patricia. from "the miami herd." >>> and donald trump will hold a rally in colorado. will he find political fortune out west? we'll ask our political panel after this break. one of millions of orders on this company's servers. accessible by thousands of suppliers and employees globally. but with cyber threats on the rise, mary's data could be under attack. with the help of at&t, and security that senses and mitigates cyber threats, their critical data is safer than ever. giving them the

if we can look at florida, florida is 1.2% difference, donald trump leading in the state of florida, 95% of the votes in, and it's too close to call. next, north carolina -- i should say ohio which we've been watching all night. this is a stunning number. 65% of all pre sengts are reporting it looks as if from it depends where the outstanding counties are, but we'll know soon enough. ohio is still too close to call. north carolina, 79% of all precincts reporting, donald trump is holding on to his lead. wake county, north carolina, still outstanding. that will be, most likely, a large hillary clinton difference, but he's winning there, and in the state of virginia, by .3% with precincts reporting, donald trump with a lead in virginia. the close tounts outside washington, d.c. which normally skew blue are yet to be tallied. ed rollins is here, dana perino is with us. what's the biggest surprise for you. >> if the spread is ten points in ohio -- he was favored to win ohio. clinton's polls must have been wrong earlier on, because they try to get that enthusiasm vote up for her. one thing

and-- and clinton is working to win florida to keep it from trump because without florida, it's very unlikely he has a path to the white house. it is-- it looks as though the early voting numbers indicate that democrats might have the edge because even though it's-- we've got about 40% of democrats, early voters showing up, 40% republicans, and the bulk are no party affiliated, those "no party afillated" voters more than half of them are first-time voters and a majority of them are hispanic. and that may swing things as an advantage for clinton >> stewart: what's changed about the demographics in florida in the past four years that would have an impact this time around? >> well, florida has gained a lot of population. you know, 1.4 million people have moved to florida. and more than half of those new people however, have been hispanics. and they have-- many of them are puerto ricans, and unlike people from other latin american countries, when puerto ricans come to florida, they can register to vote immediately because they're citizens. so we have watched as the number of hispanics gr

he loses florida. there are still mathematical ways. >> sure. >> but not practical political ways that he gets to 270 without the 29 electoral votes in florida. it's key. if you see him going down there, it's not going to be a good zbliet beyond that, there are some places that look like they could be good nights. they're really excited about ohio. >> yes. >> really excited -- they seem to think they have a really good shot in pennsylvania as well. >> that's going to be tough. >> north carolina i think he's got a pretty good shot in. he's got to win. that's almost like the base. he's got to win florida, north carolina, and ohio and that still doesn't get him to 270. then he's got to flip -- >> but it gives him an opportunity. >> no, it absolutely puts him on the brink. then he's got to flip one big democratic state like pennsylvania, like michigan. there's another scenario where he wins a bunch of little states. the easier way to do it is just take one big high electoral state like pennsylvania or mich

as goes florida, so goes o the country. as goes i-4 so goes florida. trump today said he's not going to wisconsin. he had a scheduled event there tomorrow. house speaker paul ryan was going to go with him. they scuttled that. now he says he's going to minnesota, a blue state. listen to this. >> we're going to minnesota which traditionally has not been republican at all and we're doing phenomenal. we just saw paul. we're going to colorado where we're doing phenomenally well. we're going well everywhere. >> when the candidate says they're doing very well and the polls show a tie, it raises a question of whether they're trying to get a bandwagon effect going on, act so enthusiastic that people will be attracted to that and jump on board. that's what mitt romney did in 2012 and there was problems with their polling, too. it had the effect of essentially allowing some republicans to stay home. by contrast, even though hillary clinton has been leading in a lot of battleground states, her campaign is constantly painting a dark picture and warning folks they'v

voting florida. i think that will help us break 2012 turnout levels in terms of miami-dade county, which is a huge powerhouse county for democrats. we can't win florida without running up the votes in miami-dade. you are seeing early vote in clark county, a huge democratic stronghold area. and even in a state like north carolina, which we think is going to be tight and probably going to be late to be called, where initially this was talk of a drop-off in african american turnout, we've not only made up gains there in the second week of early voting in north it with a surge, 83% increase in latino participation in early voting in north carolina. so i think that's going to be one of the emerging storylines tonight. >> pelley: bryan, another emerging storyline from our exit poll information is that donald trump is leading hillary clinton among white women in ohio, north carolina, georgia, and virginia. does that surprise you? >> this is a demographic that he was leading with from a very early point in t

let's have a look at florida. florida, is issue that has not dropped yet. we have estimated it is likely to go donald trump sway. there is nearly 100% of the vote in and it is 9 million donald trump is ahead by just a little over 100,000 out of 9 million. >> when donald trump was in wisconsin recently i remember him telling voters if you have already early voting and you want to change it, please feel free to do so.>> there is no indication that many people did that but what they did learn is that they were able to -- they have something like the airport -- they had tens of thousands. >> at pennsylvania. >> pennsylvania charlie, we still show as a toss up state, there have been more than four million cast. she is ahead by a hundred thousand votes. 81% of the vote has been counted so far. so still a toss up there. another toss up assignor awe was noting is -- as norah was noting is this is a campaign they fully expected they would carry and with 55% of the vote in, donald trump is ahead by votes out of two and-a-half million that have been cast. so this is c

president obama is back in florida after stumping there three days ago. as for the ticket, tim kaine will hold three events in wisconsin. secretary clinton has stopped in philadelphia before heading to ohio and new hampshire. and fresh off another star-studded event, the clinton campaign is out with two new ads this morning featuring republican military veterans, they will air during sunday night football. >> i spent 22 years in the air force, and i was a republican for every one of them. i was rationalizing donald trump's behaviors until i heard that tape. that was the last straw. i don't want my granddaughter thinking it's okay to be treated that way and my grandson thinking it's that how you should treat women. that scares me, that scares me a lot, so hillary has my vote. >> with just two days left, we're covering every angle. jolean is in ohio with student voters. mark murray is right here to break down the map to 270. jacob rascon is in denver with the trump team. we begin with kristen welker with the clinton campaign. she's in philadelphia. kristen,

in florida at the moment donald trump has to win florida. he is up by two tenths of a percentage point. remember last time around barack obama beat mitt romney by one percentage point in florida. we go from florida to ohio. ohio another one of the battleground states where trump has to win. the feeling is that he has got to win states like florida ohio and north carolina which we will check on a little bit later but at the moment he is six points behind. hillary clinton counting in ohio , still a lot of counting to go on that one. michigan is another one where was assumed by some that trump was going to do very well. he at this point in accounting and once again it's early, he is not doing well. he is down by a point as you see in the numbers so far with clinton obviously ahead. in that key state of north carolina which is held by the republicans, north carolina, is held by the republicans last time around at this point five points down to hillary clinton in north carolina. with trump leading in florida at the moment but trailing in the othe

. >> well, that's why it always comes down to florida, florida, florida. it's a very tough state to predict. it is, in fact, one of the swingiest swing states there is. and that's why he is spending so much time there. yes, the early voting is interesting. it should be greater republican to democrat turnout. you would expect. but i agree with governor dean. don't take anything for granted. this is a very unusual election. and just going back to why hillary clinton may be in michigan or want to address that in trump's -- that was a tough state for her. so it makes sense that she would address certain -- she has certain concerns around -- because it is so unlikely that the models will be what we have traditionally seen. >> howard -- >> right. and there's another issue, too. when you send the principle into a state, it draws away from all the people that are supposed to be going out and getting out the vote and brings a fair number of them into organized visit. i suspect that has something to do with hillary's thinking. donald trump has no ground operation. i

. >> tell you, florida, florida, florida. the part that the polls are closing in, of course central time zone area there. i till you this. we have 71% in. clinton pulled the lead in statewide. here is your swing county of florida. as hillsboro goes in tampa. so goes the state of florida. she has a ten point lead here, you can see, still a lot of vot to covot -- of vote in hillsboro. quickly show you miami-da miami-dade. 30-point spread. see if there is hispanic surge for her. looks like it so far. but this is just early vote. we don't know what election day voting is going. >> if this goes to clinton. a lot of eyes will lock on pennsylvania. >> becomes he has to win pennsylvania and michigan. if he loses florida. he need pennsylvania and michigan. can't just get away with one of them. >> this comes back to the same area of the country. move up from florida. >> her power center. really, really could be the fact that virginia, florida, talking to robbie mook earlier. florida, virginia, pennsylvania. he said that's their backbon

florida for donald trump. with that, the ultra battle ground state goes to the republican, and the map at this point is giving him a very good path to the presidency as we speak. >> here are the numbers, craig. 99% as we said, you called it. fox 13 has called it. donald trump with a big win, a very big win. winning the state of florida. 51% to 49%. all the totals in. it's about 130,000 votes, and >> yes, it certainly has, and of course, craig made the decision, you know, called it just a few minutes ago. the numbers really have, even though broward came in, we were waiting on that, that was the last piece of the puzzle for state of florida, so craig, now you're watching north carolina, ohio is still trending toward trump. you're watching iowa, michigan, what other states are you really paying close attention to. >> well, ohio's no surprise. we saw this coming tor donald trump. he's winning by 10%. it's a state he needs for this one is razor close as it has been the last eight years, but you have donald trump h

florida. when hillary clinton takes the stage, we'll share it with you and again, donald trump in wilmington, north carolina, we'll share that with you, too. three days until the election. paul ryan is making his first campaign appearance with the trump ticket. the house speaker joining with trump's vice presidential running mate, the nominee, mike pence for a bus tour and rallying in wisconsin. this is the first time rally appeared with the trump ticket since he had a major falling out with the gop candidate after the tape with vulger comments. let's talk about this in the closing days with our political panel. jay newton small and lynn sweet. m maeve and allis. good to see all of you. a grand table. good to see you all at the table here. welcome to the nation's capitol. this is interesting. we have been talking about slight strategy changes on both sides leading up to three days away from election day. now we are talking about house speaker, paul ryan. reluctant, very reluctant for a long ti

florida state, florida wouldn't schedule them for the longest time. and then they were forced to schedule them. the miami/florida state rivalry is a little bit more respectful. there's a little bit more bitter feelings in this one, between the seminoles and the gators. the schools are closer together. and the feelings are a little bit more intense between the two schools. >> joe: for year, florida dn for the older fans, it means a lot especially. austin appleby, 14 of 29 tonight, only 109 yards passing. as he cranks this up and gets it complete to lewis. has had to deal with. they've been shuffling up that offensive line, as another strike to lewis. of course, luke del rio was ahead of appleby on the quarterback depth chart. there he is. we invite you to stay tuned for the ford wrapup after the game. mac and mark and stan. curious to hear their opinions, as to what has happened today. cassidy's done a great job all night long, as well. final half minute here in tallahassee. appleby with cronkrite out of the backfield, as he steps out inside the 30. yo

trump knows florida is a must overstate the importance of florida to donald trump. he'll be here at the sarasota fairgrounds as janelle said at 11 a.m. his supporters already lining up behind me. if he were to lose the state he'd have to make up its 29 electoral votes in many states that hillary clinton is polling ahead of him, and has been polling ahead of him for the entire election cycle. what do we expect trump to say today in his final stop in the sunshine state. we're expecting him to continue to respond to fbi director's james comey's letter to congress sticking his july decision to not file criminal charges against clinton. last night in virginia, trump told the crowd that she's still guilty. >> the fbi knows it, the people -- the fbi, they know it. i think it's very embarrassing to them, and now it's up to the american people to deliver the justice. >> if florida voters put this tomorrow night, remember this, the winner of the state of florida has won the presidency in nine of the last ten elections. sarasota will be the first of five stops on the day for d

he emphasized how important florida is this year. >> florida's really important. and here's the thank you, you guys have already, more than 5 million of you, have already voted in early voting. [ applause ] >> that's astounding. >> bon jovi closed out the show with a rendition of "give love and tim kaine is rallying today in wisconsin. >>> today hillary clinton will head to cleveland to rally with lebron james and will campaign in new hampshire. last night the presidential nominee was with another star, singer katy perry in pennsylvania. earlier in the day, she battled the elements in south florida. take a look. >>> it's no wonder the candidates are spending time in florid pivotal role in this election. recent nbc wall street journal poll numbers show how tight the race is here in florida. clinton has 45% and trump at 44% among likely voters state- wide. >>> and if you have not voted yet, you have one more day to vote early. they are open until 7:00 this evening. the state of florida has seen record early voter turn-out. here in hillsborough, they have seen more e

i think we'll win florida. if you look at the report on msnbc tonight, analysis of the early voting, a tremendous cross over in the early voting. they spell victory for it. >> final question about pennsylvania. what about the projection. is the republican senator going to squeak through because of ticket-splitting? >> we have a history of ticket-splitting in pennsylvania, as you know. tim kaine has been behind hillary by two points. if hillary won by three, four or more. if hillary squeaked through i think cady would face a problem. she's been a great candidate in the fall. really has done good work. that race will be close. i think the presidential -- again, my message from pennsylvania is, is this still in the air. if we don't vote we'll lose. if we don't vote hillary will win and cady will win. >> there is going to be a swing through philadelphia on hillary clinton's calendar. more ahead on "andrea mitchell reports" live from battleground florida. we'll be right back. we'll be right back. oh no, that looks g

the state of florida have ruled the day in florida. and florida goes to donald trump. what did we say? if you're donald trump before you ever get started, you must win florida. check mark. you must win north carolina. check mark. you must win ohio. check mark. then you have to go pick up states on the west coast or around the country somewhere. we'll get to that in just a moment. this election is not over. fox news now projects hillary clinton has just won the state of california. the golden state and its 55 electoral votes go to the democrat hillary clinton. fox news projects hillary clinton will win the state of hawaii. hawaii and its 4 electoral votes go to hillary clinton. in the state of idaho, idaho now solidly red, less than 1% of all the votes are in but the 4 electoral votes go to donald trump. there's still no call in the state of oregon. oregon with its 7 electoral votes. hillary clinton with an enormous lead, but it means nothing because less than 1 pus of precincts reporting. oregon is too close to call. hillary clinton wi

to pull it off he has to win in florida. >> florida. that's why trump and pence spent so much time in florida over the past few days. it's why hillary clinton and tim kaine and president obama, by the way, crisscross florida as well. >> the rallies and stump speeches aren't designed to win over undecided voters. the goal is to motivate your own supporters to get them out and vote. for example, when president obama stopped in north florida republican country, voter turnout. polling shows african american voters overwhelmingly favor hillary clinton. >> it comes down to turnout. that's why they have the rallies here, whichever side does a better job of exciting his or her base is going to win, right? >> not win. we could have a tie as we explained. >> that's right. if you watched last night you worked under the circumstances through the tie combinations. what was the bottom line? >> the changes of a tie go >> a small tate but reliably leaning hillary clinton for weeks if not months. that's in the blue column. let's go to the fox decision d

most florida polls close in just two hours. we will kick it off tonight with our national correspondent mark meredith live at the hilton hotel in will be tonight. we understand trump is still vacillating on whether he will accept the rules.>> reporter: keith, he mentioned during the debate he would keep the country in suspense and the suspense will be happening at the hotel behind me. this is where his victory party is set to get underway within the next two hours or so. tests are already starting to arrive but the big question is we are waiting to find out who

have to win florida. donald trump has to win florida. if he doesn't, he is almost precluded in realistic terms from getting there. once he's got it, though, i don't know how narrow a path we're talking about for clinton. she doesn't need it, but if she doesn't have it, how much harder is it going to be for her to get there. that's one of the things everybody has in mind looking toward that florida number. we're getting to 93% now. i think steve actually has a little bit more to explain to us about what's coming in. >> didn't james carville just make news too with virginia? i feel like headlines are being written off what james carville just said about virginia. >> he said if we lose virginia, we're losing the election. >> there's a lot we're seeing that i don't think anybody in politics expected they'd be seeing tonight. let me take you through florida and what's left of the vote. the gap is 132,000 votes in florida. she needs to make up against -- oh, this stupid thing. okay. 132,000 votes. now, you just
