a presidential campaign from alaska. you really can t get to new hampshire in iowa from anchorage. it s just too far. so arizona, the trip is a lot easier and she has a lot of tea party support in arizona. her daughter bristol lives close by. so it makes a lot more sense than trying to run it from alaska. what is going on with bristol s decision to live there and be on a reality show with the guy she was on dancing with the stars with and sarah is not too happy about that? well, it s a lot of rumors going on. right. what really the problem with it is that it makes sarah palin look unserious and if she is run forgue president which i think she is all of this drama and gossip i think could hold her back. but her daughter has a right to make her own career. she is a young woman, young mother. sure. and children of presidential figures, presidents have made their own decisions throughout history. right. but the grand baby will probably be the first grand baby of a presidentia
we ve seen. e.j., your opinion on why do you think republican lawmakers continue to walk right into the cherished entitlement territory and then expect that s going to work out well for them? well, ironically the guy who understood this very clearly was newt gingrich. when he went on meet the press and said the voters would look at this as look at this as right wing social engineering, he got burned by medicare before, by bill clinton. he knew what the danger was here. and it s astonishing to me that republicans believe that, you know, i think it s because they are talking to each other. they are being revving each other up, driving out her etics, they really believe people want this to happen but they re only listening to about one-third of the people. right. that is a big mistake in politics if you want to build a majority. i want to talk to you about what we learned at the top of the show that michele bachmann is announcing she is going to make an announcement in jun
