some type of agreement to have consensus and that s what the point of having the separation of congress and the president and both houses the house and senate, that s the point. paul, what about that? i mean, why hasn t the president, you know, negotiated? i mean, just now meeting, you know, for the last two days or so, shouldn t this have happened long ago? i mean, it s been well reported that the bill that now speaker boehner won t put on the floor was negotiations. that speaker boehner agreed to. the tragedy, the speaker is sino. he sat down with the democratic leader of the senate and told harry reid, you got to agree to really deep republican spending cuts. reed said i don t know if we can sell it but he did. he united his caucus which is more diverse. harry reid has a socialist in bernie sanders and joe who shot a bullet through an environmental law in a tv add. that s a pretty diverse caucus.
. joe lohta captured the nomination for mayor there week. yes, there are enough republicans to hold a primary. it may have a lot of you asking joe who? there were lively characters this year, which made it that much easier to overlook on the republican side. republicans believe he is the right requested to extend the losing streak that now stands at five elections. lohta has been linked to some of the biggest names in new york politics. he started as an investment banker and rose through rudy guiliani s ranks and served democratic governor andrew cuomo as the director of the metropolitan transportation authority. the city was credited with the mass transit system after last year. lohta launched a bid for mayor
position he s had fours years ago and today. and he s not expanded that, but it may be enough to win this thing this time, but his vote was been pretty steady and no erosion. santorum is a guy who is hot, he has got the momentum. not as hot as mike huckabee was, not as good a candidate was mike huckabee was four years ago, but the guy that s basically got this solid organization, the best organization by far is ron paul. and in spite of getting beat up a little last week, his people are not going to go away. now, it depends on voters turnouts and he could easily, in the second place today and those are the three that really are players, gingrich and bachmann are all behind and at this point in time one of those three will come in first and the other two will be very close i m sure. joe, we kept hearing that this year would be different and you could win in iowa just with the national debate and tv commercials and yet we see rick santorum making this late
looking for someone, a candidate of the moment and that moment is not being spoken to. and is there a chance that, you re the architect of momentum coming out of iowa, back to the carter days, where you know, he won technically, i mean, you know, for practical purposes he won iowa and came in second, no commitment. he beat everybody else, that came out of iowa. there s a long distance between iowa caucus and new hampshire, and not so now. does that change who winsee aye. back then we didn t have the process and or jam everything into each other or christmas and new years. and loading up the system in 1984 is joe who ran the mondale campaign who was on earlier and we went back in iowa and gary hart finished second and used that in one
