he stayed on the message of job creation, stayed on message of opportunity z made it very, very local and. look there. is no progress without a job that. is what we should be concerned about right now. governor omalley thank you for your time. thank you. when we return, carl rove and joe trippy weigh in on results and what they possibly mean forú(h cúcqhpbcdúg
like he is up for re-election it s not interest for them to do that. for reid to save the senate for democrats if they could get a package through bipartisan thing. it would hurt obama. they re not to risk that. bret: but see, what about the theory that president obama would actually benefit from a big. i think he would benefit from a deal more than anybody else. the democrats came forward and said we will give you entitlement if you agree on revenue. republicans say we won t do anything on revenue. two part of grand bargain. one is revenue. but we re hearing that the revenue thing a lot. tax increases aren t the same thing. the democrats keep insisting they are in favor of raising revenues. increasing taxes. you have to negotiate what you mean. lower rate, broaden the base and get more revenue that way. bret: a lot of time to embrace that.
waiting for all along is there a tipping point here? he seems to have a pole number that defy gravity. they stayed up throughout all of this. it s been quite a while now. this is the first actual person. we also have seen favorables coming down in some poll. i think that at some point, people start factoring this in. to what they think about him as a potential candidate and they start to think seriously about him as an actual nominee. not just i like him the best. seems to be the most conservative and refreshing. the most, outsider candidate. i think soon that will happen. bret: john? that is right. in some ways, the damage that cain happens when the story goes away. right now, there is a major rallying around cain. a lot of people feel that the media is being unfair to him. trumped up. all the comparisons to clarence thomas, which i think are strained. in that mode of defending him
it is notionm aspiration. i think we would have support to prevent those cuts enacted because of the impact on the national security. hinting there may be a way around the defense cuts, chairman carl levin didn t want to give the supercommittee a way out. i don t want to take the pressure off to reach a deal and talk about avoiding or elimb naynating effect of sequest tration. senator lieberman told fox if it fails it would never go in effect. bret: we have more on this with the panel. thanks. could subway system decide fate of san francisco s mayoral election? first, democrats are divided
of cultural lightning rod his poll numbers stay up. only when they start refocusing on the election itself. whether it puts him in a bad way up against obama. calculation changes. he gets hurt. eventually slowly cycles off the sport. this changed the poll numbers now to the ceiling. before there might have been a floor to build on. it will be interesting to see how the new people come to him. bret: although, it seems like at least the campaign is talking about fundraising going up. attention going up. you just think there is a creeling there when the allegations come out. i do. regardless of what the merits of it are, if they re true or not, a lot of he said, he said thing. but at the end of the day, republicans, one thing about the republicans is the desire to beat barack obama. right now, it s cultural thing. much like rally around sarah palin.
