it s very hard to run against her. he wouldn t probably do it. what do you think position he s in right now? can he even begin a campaign when she might well have a campaign? i think he has to wait. i think that he knows that if she s running, there s to point in him going through all of that. i think he won t. so i think he s waiting to see. i think he would support her obviously hugely if he did. i ll be interested to see what she says at our event on friday. she ll talk about her women s agenda. she ll have a captive audience of 2,500 people who care passionally about those issues and this is the place to say it. i ve never seen anything like this since ike when i was 5 years old or something, in this case, a guy, this case, a woman, is a formidable candidate. biden wouldn t run against her. that s a reasonable assumption. if i can put it what was also interesting, chris, she also kept her policy apparatus in place. she s creating, for instance,
absolutely. i think that s what she is. there are so many people in a holding position with breath held hoping that she does. that s a fact. all these key people around, you know, the entire political spectrum are just waiting for that sign. there s an awful lot of very powerful women, too, who, by the way, will all step forward as major bundlers for the hillary clinton doning machine. okay, well, tina they will all step forward. tina, you re the best. by the way, we have a big news story coming out of our program already. one of the most powerful women in the world, one of the most respected women in the world, tina brown, has endorsed hillary clinton tonight. thank you very much for joining us for that. tina brown. i ll get it on the daily beast. howard fineman of the huffington post. coming up, is the republican party at risk of losing culture conservatives? social conservatives like rick santorum and mike huckabee are warning the party now not to get too m
i think that s true. hogan, here s the story. i remember when ronald reagan was president and remember every time they had the right to life rally in washington, you may well have attending. he would address them by public address, electronics. hook up some sort of speaker system from the white house. that always carried with me a metaphor. i m with you sort of, but i m not really one of you. right, look, rick santorum issued an e-mail in support of mitt romney at 1:00 in the morning. i mean, it goes to show you while he wasn t supportive of that, he was giving lip service from a distance. he wasn t in the fight. that s the thing. we have to be in these fights daily as the social conservatives. we expect once we ve been promised something to get something for it in return. but look, these social issues, i think, are important. we ve got some problems here with a lot of the african-american community, but also with the hispanic community. these issues can be used as hooks to get int
he s a former pastor. rick santorum the same way. not a former pastor, but his views on the social issue have been well established. he wasn t afraid to address them. sometimes to his detriment, me being the spokesperson for that campaign, of course. it s where he stood on those issues. someone like mitt romney refused to address them, had a pretty good story to tell on social issues but refused to address them because he wanted to run the campaign on the fiscal issues. he left the conservatives who are focused on social issues on the sidelines, thus they didn t come out and support him like they should have. let me go over to joy. it seems to me it reminds me of the movie fatal attraction where the woman said, who was having the affair with michael douglas, i will not be ignored. you re not going to ignore the fact you ve been entangled with me. don t pretend to have a relationship with me and dump me on monday morning. george w. bush was elected and re-elected in part on a pr
it s not just about her. it s about her commitment to activism around the world with women. and i think that that also will get her in this race. the question at the back of everyone s mind is can i finish this thought? she brought women into every plank of what she was doing in the state department. no question, a hillary presidency, she d have the biggest bully pulpit in the world to change those issues. no doubt about that. that would bring the focus she knows. there were health issues last year. she s still just a little bit still in hover position. i don t think she s fully, fully committed. we will see. my guess is she will. mine, too. let me ask you, tina, about what this means to the vice president. vice president joe biden. it seems to me what she s been doing, this sort of ruffles and flourishes, this preliminary she s doing. she s not hiding. is sending a signal to him she s almost inevitably going to run. i ve heard different stories, i can t report them, that he
