be asked instead of pitting people in some ways, whether they are doing it or not, i think it's unfair when people criticize the obama administration unfairly about pitting classes against one another. but there is an argument to be made that there is a little pitting of americans against americans. walker's race should send a message to all democrats. we have to change a approach a little bit here as we head into the final stretch, the final two laps of this campaign. >> my point is it may end up sending a message to the republicans if they lose that last senate seat because walker is neutered. >> is this good news or bad news for a climate of compromise on some kind of grand fiscal bargain? >> there is no compromise. forget it. there will be no compromise between now and the election. >> look out 24 months. this vote does not seem to be a real very encouraging sign that there will be a change in climate. >> there will be no compromise of any kind from now until after the election. we are not going to compromise
