starting off with first buzz with the aww factor and maybe a little bit of tissue when it comes to daddies and daughters. if you want to start your monday off with four minutes of a beautiful dance video. this is mckenzie and her dad, mike, at their summer pageant. he s done this before. he s proud. he loves to go out there on stage with her and to spread the message. she can t walk. she s not paralyzed. she can smile. and he does this wonderful dance with his daughter there. and she has a great big smile on her face for most of the time. she does. and what s great is at the end, she doesn t move much, right? but what she does do when she does move her legs a little and her head and her arms, see? isn t that great? aww. just amazing. she s actually done pageants since she was 5. she s in fifth grade right now. it is a life-threatening disease that she does have. every moment. that right there, just a few seconds of dad s true love.
midterms are right around the corner. what s interesting, when you look at the home state numbers, the exception is eric cantor, and the home state numbers, incumbents tend to have an advantage. but i think the consensus in washington is that the republicans right now would take the senate and the house, which, as we just talked about, obama s struggles, that s even more of a ho headache. even more gridlock after november. thanks, have a great weekend. you too. first buzz is next. and look at this guy. getting a whole lot of attention, and for all the wrong reasons. that s next.
the republican party in trying to figure out which way they want to go, do they nominate someone in the primaries with who s a far more conservative candidate? the national party has talked about finding someone who can win in the general election? i think that s a big question, you re talking about issues like immigration that the party appears to be strongly divided on. what kind of national program you re going to run on. so, romney, has been through this and so people are certainly going to look to him for some leadership on this. david nakamura, thank you. coming up, first buzz, and we ll tell you what caught our eyes this morning.
