politics is good policies and making things work. if he can come in and show they re serious about cutting spending, if he can get things done with the president, as ed rollins suggested, the republicans will benefit. if they come and and they re simply the party of no at every turn, and recalcitrant, they pay a price. he s got time before the state of the union to make a couple of moves when the congress opens he can show how serious they are about cutting spending. he can send a letter to the republicans, he can see some initiatives, the president s got opportunities too. i think both parties will be vying in the next 30 days or so to see who can get the upper hand in what is now right now a standoff between them in effect in terms of power. all right. david gergen, ed rollins, cornell belcher, thank you. in tonight s edition of extreme living meet the youngest person in the world to climb mt. everest. but that s not all he s done.
