one-term president. the cake is baked. barack obama will be a one-term president. that s one reason why president obama will be a one-term president. but this week, you saw the republicans fall flat in a big way. issue 2 failed and not by a small margin. they just called it. issue 2 is gone. we are ohio! opponents of the personhood amendment gathered to celebrate as mississippians voted down the proposals. those voting yes were aiming to stop abortions and set up a challenge to roe versus wade. this is an important victory for women and families and we are very, very excited. from ohio to mississippi to maine, voters rejected the gop s extreme agenda. even conservatives are
defeated democrat johnny dupree, the first african-american major nominee for governor in mississippi since reconstruction. and a couple of noteworthy mayor races. here in san francisco,y i am at right now, ed lee, he ll be the first asian-american mayor in san francisco history. and in my hometown, and michael nutter won reelection by a wide margin. we ll be right back. the world needs more energy. where s it going to come from? that s why right here, in australia, chevron is building one of the biggest natural gas projects in the world. enough power for a city the size of singapore for 50 years. what s it going to do to the planet? natural gas is the cleanest conventional fuel there is. we ve got to be smart about this. it s a smart way to go. down the hill? man: all right. we were actually thinking, maybe.
campaign, mark, has to take heart from last night s results. a campaign memo on the election of last night says voters in ohio overwhelmingly rejected john kasich s anti-worker bill standing strong against a republican agenda. that seeks to put a greater economic burden on the shoulders of hardworking middle class families. do they see this as evidence that they can carry ohio? in the days of tim russert, who used to say ohio, ohio, ohio, it s one of those states that seems to be so much a bellwether. the story of politics has been the energy on the right. people engaged and focused and desperate to change washington. what we ve seen in ohio, it s clear, is that not just labor, but the progressive movement, the democratic party is engaged and ready to fight. and in john kasich, they have a governor as they do in florida and wisconsin and a few other
idea that you ve done health care and it s time for the people to speak on it, you shut up, you stay out of it, don t make health care a referendum on your performance but keep people engaged in the pursuit of jobs. he ll be all right. you ll notice the white house hasn t said a word about what happened in ohio on health. and i think that kind of silence will be the hallmark of the campaign as they go forward. so they re going to pick the target of unemployment, but even though this unemployment usually hurts the incumbent, do you believe he can tack against that, like in a sailboat, and go against the wind, like teddy kennedy used to say? can he win on the jobs issue as an incumbent during a high-unemployment period? that would be a first. as long as the republicans continue to do all the things they do to keep infrastructure from not being one of the places where we engage, and where we provide resources and we provide money. tonight when the debate goes down, the question is goi
states they can demonize and make more of a punching bag than i think mitt romney can be made into because he s less of a distinct figure right now. to energize democrats in the short-term in ohio, in florida, this is a great day and a great result for the democratic party. and they re excited about it and they see they can be the party of energy, engagement, and enthusiasm. mayor brown, it seems that president obama is a highly educated guy, elite educated you might say surrounded by a lot of guys from the people very much the old left and new left combined. not exactly a labor guy, not exactly a bread and butter democrat. seems like he s merging into one with all of this talk about billing bridge, building highways, putting people to work, fighting republicans. the pop you list aspect of barack obama, do you think he got a good okay last night? absolutely. and as long as he accepts the
