of the congressional republicans doesn't happen to him in two years -- >> does he accept any of the blame, the president? the suburbs its a rebuke in the suburbs. we can have a conversationot clobbered. >> if you look at the candidates who ran with the president in a number of races. they did better. if you look in missouri, north dakota -- >> but they didn't have a lot of suburbs to win, in fairness. >> historically speaking, the republicans were supposed to lose the house. that's what happens. they lost about 34 seats, 35 seats right now, maybe it goes to 40. we don't know. but if you look back at where barack obama was, where bill clinton was, i believe that the marriagin was as small as it was because the president went on the campaign and guys like andy baur in a competitive district embraced the president won a tough seat because ofit.
