Governor but if you have a noncorporate of legislature is hard to get your agenda passed. You raise a good point. Lets talk about how we got into this mess. Haley barbour i believe when he was chair of the Republican Party made a decision that democrats didnt pay enough attention to which was in the best in electing legislatures, legislators and republican governors for a lot of reasons he wanted to do it but when reapportionment comes up we can bridge line in congress and have a bunch of people that believe what we believe which happens to be the tea party in Haley Barbours case govern america or at least be obstructionist to american progress. They did it and they did pretty well 20 years ago. That is why we are in the mess we are in. One of the points that i made to democrats is listen im just speculating here but one of the challenges to taking back Congress Might be that they gerrymandered these districts so effectively after they did that its really tough to win and so if you ele

But is it worse for democrats than for republicans . Hard to tell. I mean, i look at this in the democratic governors association, and again, not so loud like a broken record, but we get outspent. We understand that. Were in an environment where we need to raise money so that we can we compete, but weve got to spend our resources more wising than they do. When we do, we win.

Down their driving ships around the caribbean trying to do interdictions, but back in 98 i had a chance to do a Diplomatic Mission going into venezuela and colombia. At the time venezuela was very friendly with us and accept this in there. When we pulled into columbia, quite a different situation. Was one of the few towns you could go around in safely.

I have to admit that as they see fewer and fewer resources devoted to the counter drug mission then began to get a little anxious because they perceive that as a as backing away from sharing the battle with them
