and i just liked that, yamiche. apparently she wrote this this is her word by word, her own writing. so i thought i think stacey abrams, the thing that makes her a charismatic politician and also was the reason why she could run for governor and have the success she had, even though she lost the election, she s someone who can deliver a stick and a carrot with a smile on her face. she has this idea the president saying, look, i want you to just tell the truth. won t you please tell the truth, the way she delivered it i liked it. wasn t trying to argue or put down the president. just saying we want some answers. it s almost like why can t you be good? isn t there a play with that line in it? why can t you be good? it s a reasonable-it s a reasonable plea because that s what a lot of the middle of the road americans want, look, i may not like you. i was hoping it would shift tonight. he didn t shift. he didn t shift at all. chris, this is the other reason the speech s
road americans want, look, i may not like you. i was hoping it would shift tonight. he didn t shift. he didn t shift at all. chris, this is the other reason the speech sounded so good. remember, stacey abrams is a writer. she s written romance novels. she s written comedies. she had a way to communicate in a memorable way. don t put someone up there desperately clinging for their next opportunity to run for office, somebody who is going to deliver your message. it certainly beat the american gothic of chuck and nancy in the hallway. i thought it was very stiff. their words were all right. humanitari humanity came across. charm. upbeat. positive. we can win this thing, even though we re out of power and the country s going to like us when we win. jason johnson, thank you. yamiche, you re great. where are you, in washington? i m in arlington. thank you for coming on tonight so late. thanks.
time debate before iowa caucus january 3. the biggest loser might be the sound, the ding. we eastern won on that. the panel, fred barnes of weekly standard. juan williams, columnist with the hill and david drycker, roll call. besides the user of the ding. we had to use so it much and the candidates disregard it. we might have to have a fog horn or something. dade, your thoughts about the debate and how it played out? i m a big fan of the electability question. it appears unseemly to useless to only talk at winning you can t govern or do anything. it might make me a d.c. insider but great way to start. mitt romney had a great night and he didn t stumble when chris wallace asked him about the flip-flopping on social issues. he may not have convinced anybody but he wasn t whiny. he didn t shift. it was better than the interview with you on the healthcare question. the big loser is ron paul. he started out pine.
him or has he had some change in viewpoints over the years? i think there s some of both. but i think what he would say is that he has been a d al conservative judge. somebody who been a traditional conservative judge. somebody who decides the case based on law, based on precedent. on a few issues the death penalty being one his position did shift because he was concerned that the court no longer reviewed those cases with the care and attention that frankly he did in the early years. abortion was another issue where he was in favor of parental consent. but if the parents couldn t have a veto over their kids abortion he couldn t understand why it was the judges should. so i think his position evolved. pretty much he would tell you and he has told me many times, the court shifted, he didn t shift. greta: he s going to
