the president pushed back against all his critics today for his compromise deal with republicans over the bush tax rates. we ll continue our conversation with his sharpest critics. later, a democratic congressman will join me to discuss why he wants to keep the compromise plan from becoming law also ahead of us tonight, remembering elizabeth edwards.
politicians. you made life very painful for some democrats, including blanche lincoln, helping with the primary challenge. have you and your organization made life painful or difficult for any republican? i am proud to report, lawrence, that ours is the only organization right now that has adds up taking on olympia snowe in maine, scott brown, john boehner. none of the democratic party institutions do. we are the only one and i hope more join our cause. we also have to hold this president accountable to his promises and ask him to fight before he gives up. i want to get something straight, starting with you. strategically on where we stand now, are you an advocate of president stand firm on the original position? and if necessary, allowing the tax rates to expire on december 31st and allowing the clinton tax rates to then resume on january 1st, creating a tax
