midterms, we saw similar similarities here. you were involved in some of those campaigns you had them on the democratic side, between the carter and kennedy wings, you had it going on in the reagan/rockefeller/ford wing. so we've seen it before. i think this time it has to do with frustration. you know, look, when a party loses like they did in '06 and '08, and republicans lost two straight election, that doesn't happen to a political party. they got thumped two political elections. when it happens to any political party, there's always a return to the supposed base or the roots. i think that's what you're seeing here. you're seeing some frustration and some of these folks are getting caught up in the frustration. charlie crist, i think, definitely did. where even the establishment conservatives here in washington didn't see it coming. >> let's talk about the big race in florida, a huge state, one of the biggest states in the country. it's a young state, everybody thinks it's a retirement state but it's a very young state. and it's somewhat in the middle -- a little bit to the right it's fair to say.
