Because on the ground does matter in these campaigns. So my fifth point here is, guys, we have a long ways to go. In critical terms, we are well, were five weeks out, four and a half weeks out from the election. Thats several political lifetimes. A lot of stuff can happen, this race the senate is not yet decided. You know, i think it may change a couple of times between now and election day. And dont take, you know, dont take to heart all these, everything saying, gee, republicans have that enthusiasm advantage. You know what . If the democrats ground game works and works well and they have unlimited number of states to do it in, six or eight states, that enthusiasm advantage may be wiped away by the democrat turnout operation. So this is, its a dead heat. Its a today up. I toss up. I agree with charlies as accessment of the states. Do we win colorado or iowa or both . Can we . How close is North Carolina going to be . All these states. Its a fascinating campaign, but we are a long way
Things like it is many jobs as we said, thats wrong. Total privatesector job growth of oure Time Administration is much more than 60,000. Sure we should be more efficient. Yes we should be investing in technologies we did not have in our state previously. When i inherited this state because you elected me governor, the largest apartment spending 18 of our money was operating on a format from the effective age of 1989. Im sorry to cut you off. Now onto the rebuttal phase. Mr. Foley. Governor brought up his experience in stamford. The thing that bothers me most inut governor malloys term stamford is that it was the city in connecticut with the largest achievement gap and he did nothing about it. He may talk about being interested in improving education but while he had the opportunity and one of connecticuts largest cities with the biggest educational challenges, he was not up to the task. He was also investigated for corruption while he was mayor and he leaves that out. Listen. We have
There are all kinds of permutations on what could happen, but in a sense, mcallister is running for reelection, when you look at his indiscretions and compare them to some others in congress to some have survived, you cant count him out. He is running against not only several republicans, of the democratic mayor. If he is the only real credible democrat in the race gets 25 of the vote it could be enough to make it into a runoff against barbara mcallister. Thedentally, duct i missed liu ck sty duck dynasty , one of the relatives to a person on that show is running as the moral alternative. Host heres the latest advertisement in that race. [video clip] Vance Mcallisters personal issues are wellknown. What is less known is how liberal he has been in washington. He voted for about for government that raise taxes and increased spending. These as they are passed repealing obamacare. The more you know, the worse it gets. Another example of outside money in the election. In this case that obam
And im looking forward to this because im tired of listening to myself. I guess between the two of them, for close to 70 years neil and i go back 30 odd years. These are folks i have enjoyed being with and love watching their work. They are two great pros and two great people. Let me do a nutshell of where i am and then i want to get neil and stan and talk about what they are seeing out there. If you go back to the early part of last year, there were two competing scenarios two theories of what the 2014 Midterm Elections could be about. One theory was some of the challenges facing the Republican Party in 2012 would flow into 2014 will stop the other was it would be a classic Midterm Election referendum on the incumbent president and all that entails. Two competing directions and it could have gone either way. In terms of challenges facing the Republican Party, some of them were with key voting groups and some of it was their own, some of the things they were doing. The challenge of min
In always good for the country as well. On the other side of the political spectrum, former Texas Governor rick perry is believed to be preparing for a run for president. How were your dealings with him as mayor of san antonio . Governor perry served, as folks may remember from 2001 until just recently. And i served on city council in san antonio from 2001 to 2005. Most of the time i interacted with governor was around Economic Development projects. And often times when mayors and governors interact on Economic Development, everyone is on the same page. You want to see investment in your local community. Senators are usually involved in sparking that investment. I have said publicly and privately that, with regard to Economic Development, former governor perry did make that a priority. So my relationship with him on those issues was cordial and good. When he supported san antonio. Obviously, i have much different views from him on a whole host of issues. And i believe in general that t
