ought to have bipartisan support. that will be good for the country s economy, for economic growth at a time when we need more economic growth and job creation and so i m glad most democrats are not thinking about 2016. they re thinking about what we ought to be doing today on issues like immigration reform. haley makes a great point. immigration reform has always been looked at as sort of a civil rights issue or personal issue, it s wls a huge economic issue for this country, the h 1 b visa question, the guest worker question for migrant workers and people who work in restaurants and hotels. it s a huge economic driver as well. that s why optimism is high, it appears that the afl-cio and the chamber of commerce have reached a broad agreement about the guest worker provision. ed rendell, haley barbour great it see both of you. coming up, north korea saying it will restart a nuclear
but i don t think people are looking at it as an rnd issue. it will be that in the political season. is it a civil rights issue? you have leaders like john lewis who argued against doma when it was approved, he was one of 17 house members who voted against it. he calls it the civil rights issue of our generation. let me play. i think it s first of all, how you cannot have the greatest respect for the congressman. but i think that one has to be careful about pushing it to these extremes. because as i said, i mean in 2008, the platform of the democratic party was not for gay marriage. so to say that this is a litmus test on civil rights when four years ago, the democratic party was against it, i think is just not productive in the discussion. if that s the case
walking up those steps. and andrea, i think what we saw in the statement today was an indication of how republicans are going to be moving. now you re not going to see as chris cillizza suggested, a lot of republican senators coming out and saying i m nor gay marriage. but andrea, i know you re hearing the same thing around town. that republicans at all levels say that this issue is moving much faster than they expected. even a few months ago, republicans told me they thought going into the 2016 cycle. we think it should be a state issue. try to punt that way, saying it is up to the states. senator marco rubio of florida is headed that way. but as republicans read the polls and look at the amazing age split on this issue. realize that even if opinion doesn t change any more, that just in a matter of time, this will be a 70-30 issue in the country.
years. and clearly, this is an issue that s evolving in a lot of people s minds. stewart stevens, we ll have to leave it there, thank you very much and we ll be right back. the middle of this special moment and i need to run off to the bathroom. i m fed up with always having to put my bladder s needs ahead of my daughter. so today, i m finally talking to my doctor about overactive bladder symptoms.

against california s prop 8, david boies has predicted victory. i think we re going to win, but i don t think we re going to win 5-4. i think this is a basic civil rights issue and i don t think that this is the kind of issue that s going to divide the court the way some other issues divide the court. meanwhile, the man who exploited anti-gay referenda to juice republican turnout in the 2004 presidential election, a guy named karl rove says he could envision a different kind of republican candidate. karl rove, can you manage the next presidential campaign, a republican candidate saying flat-out, i am very gay marriage? i could. or perhaps not. a day later, karl rove tried to backtrack. in a statement, rove said, i was ask fundamental i could see a republican presidential candidate supporting gay marriage in 2016, and i said i could. i was not asked if i could see the republican presidential candidate or the gop presidential nominee. as for the latest washington post poll s
