we think the government no longer reflects the will of the american people. nobody is listening us to. 68% of voters say most members of congress don t care what their constituents think that s actualing this movement. sean: interesting if you look at nevada or rand paul in kentucky, recently in alaska, christine o donnell may win tomorrow. the establishment has been out threw attack her and attacking her in this vicious way. conservatives are angry. most conservatives i know, they don t mind a fair and open debate on the issues. mike castle did vote for cap and tax, he did vote for tarp. christine o donnell said i wouldn t have voted that way. if they lose again tomorrow, what does that say for the republicans, scott? well, what it says is the republicans republican establishment is going to be in full retreat am i don t know what is going to happen tomorrow. we haven t polled that race.
spending, reducing debt, deficit and bringing government back to people s hands. that s not a partisan issue. just common sense. sean: you re the democrat here. scott you guys writing the back the tea party movement is a genuine grass roots movement. it has been misunderstood by the political and media elites. it is finance any, we have talked about this they were attacking people attending town halls, tea party rallies. i never saw the government turn on the people that have the power to reelect them or throw them out! there has been a real shock from the very beginning the tea party moment was dismissed by the elites in washington and media elites. even republican establishment leaders were saying they are bad for the republican party. that s because the tea parties have a different view. they are not in a partisan manner. they are saying we think the government has lost its way.
the fact that it is competitive is because of the energy that is coming from the tea party side. republican establishment saying wait a minute, we ll probably win the election in the fall in november, if we have mike castle. probably lose if we have christine o donnell. tea partiers are saying that s not our concern. if that attitude prevails it is going to be a real shock to the elites in washington. sean: the fourth shock, the fifth shock. i m going over some of these polls about independents. doug, you are a democrat. you have been warning for sometime this is going to happen. right. sean: that your party is going to suffer major losses because they lurged too far left. the president is too much of an ideologue. you have been excoriated for it. you have been beaten down, criticized greatly. i said it what scott and pat caddell, i said health care was an unmitigated disaster. people thought it would not control the size and scope of government.
would it increase health care costs. sean: which you were vindicated last week on that point. absolutely. bottom line, what we are seeing and what scott was speaking to is how the tea party movement is the only movement galvanizing act active. who would have thought miller, rand paul would win, it is coming as a result of energy at the grass roots fueled by anger about both parties. it is not partisan. sean: 20-1 the enthusiasm gap massive. generic poll, gallup, fox news, abc, cbs, nbc, all showing the same thing there s a lot of rhetoric from the established media that the tea party somehow are irresponsible. you know what, they are energizing turn-out. the enthusiasm gap is because of the tea party moment. sean: scott, not that you don t have the greatest polls in the world. your polls are in keeping with
