we have this going on so many things here. this going on in the court, the immigration fight in the senate nearing its final moments. and there s a connection between the two. there s been a there was a push by gay rights advocates to specifically write into this law that the foreign partners of same-sex couples could apply for green cards. that was rejected, because not rejected, but republicans said if you put that in the bill there is no way we re going to pass it. so democrats have been waiting for the supreme court to rule, strike down doma. if they do, then you nullify that issue that there won t be the need to try to push for that language now on the floor. if the supreme court upholds doma, you re going to see a lot of pressure exerted today on patrick leahy, the senate judiciary committee chairman, other democratic leaders, to really make a last-ditch effort to at least get a vote on the amendment. it s been extraordinarily hard to get votes on noncontroversial amendme
wendy davis has become an overnight sensation after single-handedly blocking an abortion bill in the state by talking and talking and talking. davis began the filibuster, a bill that would ban abortions, after 20 weeks, and require abortion procedures be done at surgical centers. she kept talking for nearly 13 hours. this lenggislating is being done. voted on. look around the room. primarily by men. you can imagine or maybe you can t how a woman feels to be told that her feelings on these issues, that no matter how difficult, no matter the circumstance that she s dealing with, if she can t fit into either would be of these little square pegs, she is not going to be able to exercise her
we can see that from the early voting. there are few democrats voting early. 17,000 fewer ballots voted early by democrats this time than 2008 and we have 12,000 more republican early ballots cast than four years ago. so you are looking at a 29,000 vote swing and you take that out across the state it is 300,000 vote swing or more in the state of ohio that makes up the difference. shepard: to both of you this time, two different plans, two different ways of approaching the ground game. if we could, start but, i understand that the president s ground game office has been open since well before the president was the president. some of them. guest: well, that, this ground game has been in effect, probably, shep, for a year and a half. remember, we had senate bill 5 which became issue two last november of 2011 the collective
and the truth? he has no shame and no soul. if you re lying in the beginning you ll be lying in the end and shows a sense of desperation to try invoke fear. they know good and dag gone well that the president threw a life line out to the auto industry whereby one of every eight jobs in ohio over 850,000 jobs aristic willed to that industry and for them to try to scare the citizens is despicable. we won t forget this is the game governor that joined forces prosecutor with the republicans and supported senate bill 5 which would have taken away collective bargaining rights. gm will invest $500 million into that plant, ed. he is lying in the beginning and he ll be lying all the way through this. i don t think the obama campaign could hand a better script to the romney people and say, here, do this and implode in the state of ohio but the question is, chris, what are you
class jobs paying middle class wages. one of every eight jobs in this state is tied to the auto industry, so it s absolutely despicable. but he has proven himself to be just the shape shifter that he is. he will say and do anything, even if it is to right out lie to try to win the presidency. nobody in ohio is going to be fooled by that. he is the same governor that supported the republicans here in this state last year in support of senate bill 5, the bill that is anti-worker and take away collective bargaining rights. so he needs to take his mess somewhere else because we are not falling for it in the state of ohio. as we look at the latest polling from cbs, the new york times and quinnipiac, find the majority of people in ohio, over 50%, is saying that the economy is getting better. obviously the governor s message is one that relies on economic frustration and the president is holding a firewall in ohio currently. we ve talked before and you said that ohio is going to be delivere
