so at least in the near term it means that that democratic seat will go republican. the open question is when or if there has to be a special election. because senator lautenberg s term is up in 2014, it is possible that chris christie could argue there doesn t have to be an election until then. that s not what democrats prefer because that would probably keep a republican in the seat for a year and a half. but also democrats are probably going to say there must be a special election before. so that is still in dispute as you said, it is quite complicated. very interesting to see who chris christie appoints to that seat. thank you so much, dana bash. coming up on the lead , sure they made some missteps but wait until you see their dance steps. the irs scandal. meanwhile, the politicians are wasting no time attacking each other. and it happens every time. just when you fall in love with a tv character, bam, they fall victim to a violent plot twist. so how did tv show producers de
because people gain the weight back after this surgery. it s going to take a lot of work and will power. will power, discipline, that s key. but politically, krystal, his approval rating is high. even among groups that normally don t go republican. 67% among all voters. 73% among independents. 66% among union households. 65% among hispanics. 63% among women. he s polling very high. yeah. that s right. and i do think that in terms of the potential republican contenders for 2016, i personally think he is the most formidable. and he might have an issue in the republican primary because he has taken some more moderate positions, but he s a skilled politician. he s a charming guy. and he has a sort of in your face style that i think republicans like. i don t see him getting out of that primary process. i really don t. because of how far right he is? yeah. because how far right it got. i admired him for standing up and saying president obama did a
among the caucus voters. blew me away. sounds like the british labor party. but bill nelson, tester, tester s in good shape. i think they re going to hold the senate if they can win with massachusetts. right. if warren who i really like because i think she s not the martha coakley, they don t have the elite problem with her. she s a regular democrat, if she can keep running in that middle and not forego the kennedy tradition up there like coakley did, i think she can win. and that s a big upset to knock off scott brown. there s talk about trying to get john kerry to run again. that s unlikely. looks like that seat will go republican. do you think the senate will go that way? we ve been all very focused on the presidential race, but look, there s been upthought, maybe the house will swing back.
