Example, we spoke about the tea party panel last yesterday. I dont know how many people were there for that, but you already see that a lot of those push button issues that fomented that anger within the tea party were issues that are now being coopted by the Establishment Republican Party, you know . Fiscal responsibility, school choice, issues like that. But now were going to see that the major parties are going to start to adopt it and so are the candidates. Theyre going to adapt a portion of that. And its very understandable. People, unemployment is still rather high. Corporations are making a lot of money because they are more productive, but theyre being more productive with fewer people.

Host the other issue i wanted to ask you about, tom wheelers comments regarding the Net Neutrality ruling. Fcc
Exchanges but no bound so sightly tightly that youre so stuck on the rules, you cut them off just before they say, i killed my wife. Sorry, youre out of time. You want to make sure thats exchange. We all function by rules, though. Judy, you raised about the topic. Did you like the format, one for Foreign Affairs i think given an ideal situation, you think a president deals a great deal with Foreign Policy, domestic policy, and i think ideally it makes a lot of sense just to make sure that youre not going to be so heavily weighted one way or another. For example in the 2004 election, when iraq was a huge issue, i could say, gwen, remember this better than i will that may have been a time when there would be when the candidates would want to spend a lot more time oop Foreign Policy. Right now most voters say their primary concern is the economy. So, i think maybe there needs to be a little more flexibility on that. I know candy, im sure, was thinking about that as she was figuring about
