and it was an utter failure. chris: do you think that oba going after boehner and trying to make this a choice in is smart politics. the problem is as you suggested here kind of an elusive angle. some people probably think he is a height end for the ci ncinnati bengals or something. and you have the figure of y nancy pelosi who is easy to rn against. john boehner is a much more obscure figure to most people. no one isng running against boehner and pelosi. they passed the stimulus and id unemploymentould come down. passed the healthcare trade. one house passed cap and trade. that is not popular. all the advertising against boehner isn t going to matter at all. it is possible that the president boosts turnout among his core supporters to make a difference. chris: thank you, panel, see you next week.
