He who keeps israel will not shall not strike you by day nor chapter 40 versus 28 have you god the creator of the he does not faint or grow weary unsearchable. Even youths be faint and wary. Like eagles. They shall walk and not im congressman jim mcgovern from massachusetts. When Eleanor Roosevelt died it was said that ive lost more than a friend, ive lost an inspiration and thats the way i feel today. Deep down i know George Mcgovern is in a better place. Hes with eleanor and terri and steve. Who knows, he may even be president. But for so many of us it is difficult to say goodbye. It was always comforting to know that he was around reminding us we can do better, making it seem possible we could end all wars, eliminate hunger and poverty and create a world where all gods children are respected valued and loved. In 1972 as a seventh grader in massachusetts i did what i could to elect him pres
Former senator and president ial candidate George Mcgovern. Now republican president ial candidate mitt romney in ames iowa for a speech on the economy on his economic plan. According to the latest polling average, president obama holds a lead in this state. This is about 35 minutes. Hello everybody, how are you doing . You live in iowa and you live in a battleground state. Let me say that again because i dont think ive said that in all the years ive been in politics. Were a battleground state this year and that makes it very important. And im glad i have the opportunity to welcome the next president of the United States. And i know its cool and you feel the chill but also you feel the momentum of romney being the next president of the United States. [applause] now you folks all know people who voted four years ago for president obama. You know that he promised partisanship and to reduce the deficit by half, that he was going to give us accountable government, that he was going to redu
7 30 this morning. Obama the underdog versus romney the ascent dant is the dominant narrative on the trail. Patrol this in my voice is getting hoarse. Have to keep on keeping on. Were going to win november 6th. Were going to pull an allnighter. No sleep. Weve had a number of debates lately. You know they have really propelled our campaign. I believe in you. I need you to keep believing in me. The Obama Campaign is slipping. And shrinking. We always knew this was going to be a close race from the start. Folks in your business were writing me off a year ago, saying theres no way i would win. If im elected no, when im elected ive come to ask you for your vote. Im optimistic, not just about winning, we are going to win, by the way. Dont boo. Vote vote the Obama Campaign is also out with this new ad showing consequences of staying at home. 537, the number of votes that changed the course of american history. Florida is too close to call. The difference between what was and what could have b
Experience and electability. But it was former Vice President joe bidens comments where he seems to have lowered his expectations in New Hampshire that has his Senior Campaign adviser playing cleanup this morning. The reality is we took a lump in iowa. The reality is with who home state senators competing for the nomination, its remarkable that joe biden has polled in top and lockstep with those senators. Whatever happens here in New Hampshire, were going on to nevada. Were not giving up New Hampshire by any means. Cnn correspondent ryan nobles joins us from New Hampshire, in man chest. Lets talk about the role it plays some narratives continuing and fresh ones as west. I think, victor, for the first time last night you really saw this issue of experience be something that former south bend mayor Pete Buttigieg had to answer for. Theres no doubt his Strong Performance in iowa is a direct result of that. You saw both senator Amy Klobuchar and joe biden. A question for someone who was a
Obama has gotten 300 of his judicial nominees confirmed. 300. At the same point in his presidency, george w. Bush got through 35 fewer confirmations than obama to this point. Progress is being made to clear that. We know what to thank for that, right . In november of last year, harry reid triggered the socalled Nuclear Option. He did away with filibusters on most nominations and made it impossible for members of the Minority Party to block the nominations. No more 60 votes. Thats the idea, anyway. But the Nuclear Option didnt fix everything, either. Theres still something called the blue slip. For a nominee to get a confirmation, both senators from that nominee state must sign off on it. They have to submit a blue slip consenting to the nominee getting a hearing. If they dont, the nomination dies. The blue slip is an old Senate Tradition but the rules of it have changed over the years. When republicans controlled the white house under george w. Bush, they did away with it and democrats
