obama care for the full year, kicking the can down the road, not taking advantage of the leverage of his new power. that angered a lot of conservatives including me. why not take the victory and run with it and come up with a bold vision for the future of the country and explain what conservatism means and how it will get americans back to work and energy independence and an alternative to obama care, securing the borders. it s not that hard, larry. yeah, and look, translate that into the presidential race on the republican side. what does it equal? a populist movement, a populist revolt, call it whatever you want to. yes. and there are candidates there, cruz and paul are only two of them, who can articulate that and capture that lightning in a bottle. this is going to be the heck of a race. this is not one of those races that you can easily predict in advance. but is it a case where there s so many conservatives running that they split the vote, opens up the door so either chr
basically bush s supporters. that s what you re seeing. that s what rush limbaugh says. i like bush. i think he s an able man. a little more difficult for the very reasons that larry mentioned, we ve had a lot of bushes in the last 28 years. i do think that he s his own man. he was a great governor. nobody s taking that away from him. but look at what boehner did, larry and boehner going to obama, biden, steny hoyer and harry reid and not talking to his conservative base, funding obama care for the full year, kicking the can down the road, not taking advantage of the leverage of his new power. that angered a lot of conservatives including me. why not take the victory and run with it and come up with a bold vision for the future of the country and explain what conservatism means and how it will get americans back to work and energy independence and an alternative to obama care, securing the borders. it s not that hard, larry. yeah, and look, translate that into the presidential
big polls out this morning. mike allen with with the morning playbook. good to see you. good morning. there are these brand new politico polls out which could give key insight. let s talk first about the polls and get a little data about it. hays the situation? zooming in on the hot spots. of course, unlike presidential election where every state matters, mid terms there s only a couple of areas where the action is isolated. this poll interviews voters in the 16 states with senate races and the 66 most competitive house races as ranked by larry sabito. we have 89% that said foreign policy would be an important factor when voting but 11% said
