i hope they re right and i hope i m wrong. but instead of going with jim demint s philosophy of i would rather have 30 conservatives in the senate than 60 wishy washy moderates, good luck, because the democrats will shove it right down your throat if you only have 30. but i m with bull buckley on this. i want the most viable conservative candidate to win. and viable means electable. i m just being realistic. bill: if christine o donnell wins in delaware, i mean that is going to send a signal that ideological purity as you put it is back. that the people have had enough of business as usual. they don t care if she has ever had a job. that s the point. this is the year it could happen. bill: it could happen. because people have lost their jobs or worried about losing their jobs. have lost their homes are worried about that makes this year totally different. bill: all right. now, bernie goldberg is carrying. this is he carrying this book
bill: back of the book segment tonight, reality check where we span the globe for situations that need clarifying. check one, former president jimmy carter says his single term in the 1970 s was successful. i say in my book pinheads and patriots. it was not. be that as it may mr. carter continues to face questions like this. with everything that president obama is going through, almost the worst insult that people say is that, my god, he could be worse than jimmy carter. i can t control what people say about comparing me with obama. but i hope that obama will have as successful a term as i had in dealing with our nation s domestic and international affairs. and if he does, i will be very proud of him as i have happen to be proud of myself about having had a successful administration when i was in office. bill: now to be fair, president carter is basing his assessment on the amount of legislation he got passed. check 2, speaking in iowa last
