you know, we ve got i think we re going to beat lincoln davis in tennessee, but if he were eeking out a win i think he might consider changing parties o clock somebody like schuller from north carolina. some who are fiscally conservative socially should consider switching parties and we welcome them. typically democrats who switch parties don t get rehreblgt dollars reelected so it s a pretty risky move to make. i do think that it s becoming increasingly hard, hover, for a lot of these members, so there are some people who like if you take a gene tiller, i suspect he would consider doing that, however, i don t think he s going to get reelected, so i think the people who would be even likely to do something like this are people who probably are not going to make it back. jon: here s a question from linda in north carolina. charlie, i m going to throw this at you. slightly tongue in cheek, i think, and i m guessing lindh is a republican, she said she d like to know if californian
nonvictories are, shall we say, a nonvictory today here with bennet. as will here, romanoff wins. it s going to create a really bad picture of this white house political shop. given all the other political problems the white house has, i think it is fairly small much the thing is the key is that they recruit eed bennet. there are certain things you have to do as the party leader, whether it is trying to get arlen expecter to switch parties, which was his endorsement there or backing an appointed senator, certain things the party leader does. i don t think it will reflect that much on the president and minor embarrassment. quickly on the colorado governor s race, a wild finish on the republican side, the establishment there hoping their candidate wins the primary because they want to switch him out. yeah, a lot of times you have kabuki dances in politics where, okay, we know our guy can t win with, but at least our guy, we could punt him out and put
predictions are at least 27 of the 50 governors will be new as of next january. that is an all-time record. it could actually be more than 27. we have never had that many new governors in one year. the republicans are going to pick up in my view at least a net gain of six. wow! which is a substantial gain for one year and that includes some big states by the way. give me a name of some big states in play here. i think pennsylvania will be clearly gop. attorney general tom corbett is likely to get the republican nomination and i think pennsylvania is going to do what it usually dose every eight years and switch parties. look at the upper midwest, the north central midwest. this is an area we associate with the democrats but this year i think you are going to see republicans taking over in at least three of the following states. michigan. iowa.
this is way better. get a 30-day free trial at intuit.com. florida governor charlie crist losing 18 points to marco rubio in their primary fight for senate. it s all but over. but that s not stopping some prominent republicans from kicking crist when he s down. jeb bush, who was governor before crist, said crist taking stimulus money was unforgivable. talk about a put-away. and south carolina senator jim demint launched this internet ad, suggesting crist may switch parties. some republicans aren t pleased with demint s attack on crist. one senate aide told politico that spending money on a sleazy attack ad like this against a fellow republican is beyond the pale, even for demint. much more on these efforts to purify the republican party coming up on hardball. not long. in fact, green beans lose half their vitamin c in a week. that s why green giant freezes them within 8 hours
cameras in by not performing particularly well once they were on. you know what? i think they should honestly make an invitation to have a conversation like this every week and call them out if they don t. be completely transparent, but ask for it. say come on. we nieed a leader. if john boehner can t do it, he needs to stand up and find somebody that can debate him. i want to go off track for a second. we re talking about a newmarco rubio poll that shows him way ahead of charlie crist. we re talking, does charlie switch parties, go back to being governor? what have you heard? well, he s going to be unemployed very soon. okay. that s sad. this is such a significant race because this shows that the establishment republican party is on the wane. and these insurgent conservative candidates have a real shot. marco rubio had a huge boost
