don t people vote their wallets? yes. and people need to motivate their base. by pretending that they hadn t voted for president obama, alison lundergan grimes to people not wanting to campaign for them how do they think they are going to get elected if they can t motivate their base and not talk about the accomplishments of their party and this president. that s crazy. i agree with you, that is probably the most unreported. that is a scandal. beth, thank you very much. ahead, we ll keep you updated on the missing flight from indonesia to singapore stay tuned.
better. but he s saying he s not a good debater but he ll be better next time, i promise. the biggest candidate for a candidate is their spouse. we ve seen this with a.m. romney and what she s doing to humanize mitt romney. but, you know, what i find interesting in all of this, and i raise this question, when was the last time that a candidate who was drafted into the race, not a candidate who actually wanted, like, said, i want to be president and i don t know the answer, but when was the last time one of those was successful in that raised the question about chris christie and rick perry. but the difference, beth, and i think that what christie s hesitancy is, he does have ambition to be president. it s just this wasn t his time line. right. and, you know, the case we re making for him, if not now, it s only to get more complicated in 2016 with people like jeb bush, marco rubio, who knows who else. clarence page, beth
president s been spending the great time this summer dealing with the debt crisis, we had to cancel a bunch of events. we ll hit the quarterly targets but, you know, it is hard. the fund raising number, though, meshes with another word you hear about inside the base. enthusiasm or lack thereof. right. that s a problem and out there on the road right now at top volume really repackaging what he proposed earlier that failed on capitol hill and repackaging it as a jobs bill with a good chan chant that rhymes with yes we can. and new hampshire is a great test for that because it s a more conservative-leaning state. with a populous ring to it looking for a little more sympathetic coming to the government. beth, it does seem what s the next tact here for president obama? clear republicans decided to throw up a wall and not deal
who people really want to run are going to play this game. it s just attractive to christie. he doesn t want to rule it out entirely. however, he really doesn t want to run and i don t blame him because if the tea party doesn t like rick perry s politics, when will they get a load of the straight talk from chris christie? it s just incredible to me how people get to so attracted to bright and signny object of a new candidate. when that candidate falls short of perfection. remember, john mccain s straight talk, you know? they run for the hills. yeah. beth, how much could really be this chris christie being polite, you don t want to dismiss these folks but you have to show them their due respect and say i technically have two more weeks if you look at the proe process, i ll give it two more
plans to make plans. the question is not complicated. getting to the answer is. and i m doing it as fast as i can. see? now we know who chris christie has been listening to. even the new york tabloids had a field day with the cuomo saga calling him governor slo-mo. clarence page is a columnist for the chicago tribune, beth a columnist for the national journal and liz for the associated press. particular fi for those tristate folks up there who are older than 40 years old, they sit there and say, oh, my god, i ve seen this exact story play itself out. exactly. not to i.d. you as the oldest guy sitting here. it s obvious. but anyway with age come wisdom. share with me the wisdom of watching christie and cuomo and feeling as if p it s deja vu all over again. it is. the only thing i can t do is tell you how to stop it. the fact is certain candidates
