Washington. We may be on the verge of a deal that could end this Government Shutdown or not. Heated words from Senate Democrats as they face down House Republicans who are pushing their own deal, a lastminute deal they say would reopen the government but would it. The president is weighing in saying the House Republican bill is not acceptable. Whooi while the shutdown underscored how polarized washington has become, outside the beltway the rest of the country seems to be on a different track. More on that in a moment. A new survey shows the majority of American Voters exist in a broad middle ground when it comes to politics. More from Nbcs Chuck Todd in a minute. First lets talk about those deals in play.

Political and Economic Reforms, particularly in the countrys Energy Sector. As a result of mexicos reforms, moodys upgraded its Credit Rating to Investment Grade in february. This makes mexico the only latin American Country other than chile to achieve this rating. The Mexican Congress recently passed a law that will enable courts to try cases alleged against soldiers. To protect human rights, to protect advocates and journalists represent an important step forward. This is a real challenge, and mexico remains a dangerous place for those working to shine a light on abuses, corruption and crime. I urge the Mexican Government to speed up its implementation of these measures. I also urge the state department to provide direct funding for this effort to help build a safe environment for these men and doing such important work.

This is on the state Insurance Commissioners which the president noted did happen even before this law went into effect. There is no way, nothing that was announced today mandates that anybody that got a cancellation notice that wanted to keep their policy, nothing today mandates the Insurance Company that issued that cancellation notice has to reissue. Thats why the Insurance Industry is mad because essentially they are mad they are about to get a bumnc
Her comments are outrageous. Debbie Wasserman Schulz hit a new low with her comments about scott walker. This is the sound bite that has everybody talking this morning. Roll it. Scott walker has given the women the back of his hand. That is direct, but that is reality. Republican Tea Party Mike scott walker, grabbing as by the hair and pulling us back and is unacceptable. Stuart Monica Crowley is here. My first comment is that is disgusting and outrageous but also in my opinion a sign of desperation. It is low even for her. She has come out with some real ones that this is particularly outrageous because what she is saying s not so much does this or that, but was making an accusation against him. Essentially insinuating or accusing him of being a wife beater. Weiner democrats like Dan Wasserman shall engage in this despicable language and accusations all the time but for her to go this well, what democrats trying to do is resurrect the old war on women which worked for them in 2012, lo
