have been a huge story. it is a really important story. this is, for a number of reasons. one, as you mention, senate control. democrats will be favored in the race. maine should favor the democratic candidate, add that to massachusetts are elizabeth warren is running. you have three pick-up opportunities for democrats to win seats. if they do, the republican margin picks up. they need the other point and i know you ll be talking to senator snowe, her condemning partisanship, she is walking away tells you something about what the state of civility in that body. a brief foot note, david dreier came in with the reagan land slide and now from california, rules committee chairman, veteran, don t need to tell you how important he is among the republican hierarchy
it s a huge risk. thank you very much. all right. from affair i could not tell, but that was pete sessions, the rules committee chairman who has thrown hess hat we are told, into the ring for this leadership position. and beside how strong a stance republicans want to take on immigration reform. one of the key reasons was listed for cantor s defeat, was a too soft position on immigration rem. be that as it may, obviously congressman sections indicating that republicans are going to hold fast and tight to very tough border security reform as part of any immigration reform package, which looks at best dicey this year. well, after eric cantor s loss, a lot of folks are searching for answers. could it be because of the answers like these from cantor? do you know what really happened there? do you know why this happened?
