carolina lay off teachers and cut their pay when north carolina was making so much progress? it was bipartisan progress over the last years. carolina education system from kindergarten to your research university was held up as an example of what could and should be done. so you have to ask yourself, why would a legislature led by her opponent cut education funding? you have to believe it is because either they don't care or because they don't know, or because they were told to do that. [applause] that bye told to do people who have a short term greatf what makes a state , what gives opportunity to young people, and shame on them. subject kids to overclass -- overcrowded textbooks, out dated -- that's not the kind of leadership north carolina needs. when kay hagan wrote the state budget, teachers got a pay raise every single year.

>> that's right. >> just like the north carolina -- just let the north carolina court decide whether the remedy of exclusion should asupply. >> that's right. for example, justice scalia, i'm not sure if it's different if i said there's a constitutional violation i may or may not be entitled to a remedy for under chapman because the air was harmless or not. those are the kinds of situations where the court would always resolve the constitutional question that the lower court addressed and send it back down to the question of remedy. >> i don't know why. following up on what justice scalia is saying, he's saying we don't give you a remedy unless we believe that one is warranted under the fourth amendment. and since we apply, doesn't matter what the north carolina applies, good faith or not. what we apply in terms of determining whether a federal violation, a constitutional violation is subject to any type of remedy for you is the good faith exception. so why do we have to remand? i think that's justice scalia's question and i'm not quite sure you've answered it. >> the reason to remand

so i think south carolina and north carolina him and his men came upon a woman about to give birth. they helped to care for her and tell her son was born. the next morning of veteran was softly singing a lullaby that then with the canteen they took the family carriage letter with corn in chickens and other things necessary for the conduct of the army. so probably the mother read named him as i would have imagined but it is still confusing that belknap and his men take the time to make sure this baby is born safely but then leave the mother destitute and starving by taking all of her provisions. so it is that complexity. the same kinds of kindness appear in interactions between union soldiers and african-americans. i could give an entire talk about the complexities and the coolest example of this difficult relationship as a group of african-americans following sherman's men. and insubordinate commander his name with jefferson davis, no relation order them to be pulled up so that the african-americans could not so then there chased by the calvary. so hundreds of them drowned in the sw

carolina, but won the other two. his numbers among all of those groups you just talked about, except african-americans have gone down tremendously. single women, latinos, young people, it's dramatic in terms of their approval rating of the president. so trying to motivate people who feel disappointed -- and i think molly's right, it's not a pitchfork kind of election, it's a passive election, like meh. gwen: let's walk through some of the states. georgia, as far as we know friday night, things are still dead even. >> no doubt about it. perhaps even with a slight edge for the democrat there. >> michelle nunn. >> michelle nunn. the challenge or the complication is there's a runoff election. and the winner has to get 50% plus one, otherwise it goes for two more months, the first tuesday in january. gwen: there's a libertarian candidate. >> and that complicates it. so republicans are absolutely worried about not winning it on the first election. but the second go-round, we'll see. gwen: colorado? >> i was just in colorad

alaska, colorado, georgia, iowa, kansas kansas, north carolina and new hampshire. big question what do you think is going to happen in those sefng races? >> well -- seven races? >> well, here's the difficulty those race are all within less than three percentage points within the median of recent surveys. if they broke the way they predicted we would have 51 republicans and therefore control for the republicans. however, polls have an error rate, it turns out polls prediction of the weber is only 55% in the past several races so there's a tremendous amount of uncertainty. >> the smallest of flips could have major implication is. the republicans could have 54 seats in the senate and the democrats 46 or the democrats have 52 in the senate and the republicans 48. >> that's right. we should not be surprised on election night for people to analyze polls like myself to get two or three wrong. when i was correct in 2012, that was very fortunate account not all races were that close, we have a record number of close races and i think there's surprises tomorrow night on elec

it's iowa, colorado and north carolina. in iowa she has a lead although it's with a margin of error. democrats have had an advantage with absentee ballots. it's been 40 days of early voting and absentee ballots. republicans could be going into tuesday with a nice big gain. >> carl cameron, thank you. now back to chris stirewalt. >> the great ad got her the nomination, no question. what got her into contention was the new look gop. she's a new look for the gop which is, as you said, blue collar, hardworking, soldier mom, all of that is good branding but don't discount that bruce braley has been a terrible candidate. he was expected to walk away with this. he didn't get there. he ran poorly. she ran with it. >>> democrats have long counted on women voters to save the day. why that may not work this time. >>> plus, howie kurtz is here with the ads making news. >> in 2008, 95% of black voters in north carolina voted for kay hagan. democrats created the illusion that they have a salvation of the black community. who among us hav
