Court block early voting inevu ohio. Next they may rule on the voter i. D. Law in wisconsin. And the court could also decide whether to restore antivoting measures in North Carolina. No matter how the court rules, we cant get discouraged. We have to fight for every vote. Thanks for watching. Im al sharpton. Hardball starts right now. Four tuesdays from now. Lets play hardball. Good evening, im Chris Matthews in washington. I promised you a big inside look at the 2014 election tonight. And the fight tonight, the fight, the fighters, the nastiest contest to come. Before were done this evening, youll know where the excitement lies. Who has the momentum and what the stakes are if the democrats lose this big one. Lets take a look. I may wander and i may rome, but ill never be far from home. Youre in my heart, youre arkansas, you run deep in me. Vote your heart. Senator, you seem to think that the president is on the bat lot this year. Hes not. This race is between me and you and the people of kentucky and we intend to hold you accountable for your years of failed leadership. My home is dodge city and im damn proud of it. Well, i suspect, senator, ive been to dodge city more this year than you have. [ cheers and applause ] senator ernst would have voted to shut down the federal government with ted cruz. Shes called president obama a dictator and thinks impeachment should be on the table. Congressman, you threatened to sue a neighbor over chickens that came on to your property. Youre talking about bipartisanship, how do we expect
as iowans to believe that you will walk across the aisle when you cant walk across your yard . Theres only way, to go in a different direction, thats to change the senate and make me the leader of a new majority to take america in a different direction. If we keep stepping up and bringing others along, i know we can keep making that change we believe in. I know we can elect mary burke has governor of wisconsin, thank you all so much. God bless. There she is, looking good. Joining me now, Washington Post opinion Writer Jonathan capehart. And the great proffer larry sab toe, from the universitys center for politics. Were going to go right now, to how the republicans could win the u. S. Senate. For republicans to take over the senate, their clearest path to victory flows this way. First, they take south dakota, montana, and west virginia. Then they work their way through alaska, followed by a march into
the deep south to try to capture arkansas and louisiana. Ask then up to iowa. Lets take a look at the face us of the contenders who populate this path to victory if the republicans get it. And discuss a counter attack. South dakota, a threeway race, rick whelan, and the senator for many years, along with mike rounds. An average shows rounds with a doubledigit lead. Montana, democrat Amanda Curtis versus steve danes, the polling average has danes with a doubledigit lead as well. West virginia, republican cap toe maintains a healthy lead. So lets say republicans win these three. Now it starts to get harder for them. The following races are all close. Alaska, mark begins versus dan
silva. Sullivan is up by a hair. To the deep south, mark pryor and tom cotton are neck and neck right now. On to louisiana where the states open primary format has the incumbent fending off bill catsly and rob mannis. Iowa, bruce braley is in the fight of his life against the hog casterator, joni ernst. There we have it. Let me go to larry sab toe who i watch all the time on this. Three of them look good for the republicans. Thats south dakota, montana, west virginia. Then it gets more difficult. Alaska, arkansas, louisiana, and then to win the thing, assuming whats happening will hurt them the republicans in kansas, they got to win iowa. How doesaarj that look to you . I think thats about right. I would say iowa is the most probable sixth or seventh seat if they have to win seven because they lose kansas, or colorado. You might want to throw colorado in there. Those are probably the two most critical seats, assuming they can really knock off the democratic incumbents in the south. You didnt mention kay hagan. I dont think shes going to lose. Thats why. Shes ahead. I want to go right now to that one, but look at the first. This is the path to victory. This is shermans march to the sea, if you will. If they make it to the sea. Right. The key thing here, the one thing no ones talking about, but should Pay Attention to, the African American vote. That is the vote that could be the thing that keeps the senate in democratic hands. And i bring that up in three races. Arkansas, which is on your list, louisiana, which is on your list. You think kay hagan is going to win North Carolina, and it looks good for her right now, but if the polls close up and kay hagan is hanging on, its the African American vote there that could push her over. Now, in louisiana weve seen races where senator landrieu has eeked out a win and its because African Americans were looking at numbers that dont show a lot of intensity on the liberal side of things. Exactly. I know the history says that African American voters and actual the Obama Coalition doesnt come out and vote in mid term elec to people, there are two things you have to look at it. The one, the virginia gubernatorial race, 2013, Terry Mccullough against ken kuch nelly. People didnt think mccaulliffe was going to win. Baugh the African American was there. The second thing to look at, African American voters are pretty angry, theyre angry about voting rights, theyre angry about ferguson theyre a little angry at the president. And the secret Service Threats against the president. That too. Theyre angry with the president because things havent happened, but theyre more angry
about the things that are happening to them by way of republican obstruction, the Supreme Court doing what it did on voting rights. And also a feeling that they need to have the president s back. Whos going to get at them and make the change for the polling right now, you and the first lady, youre both in. Shes been great. We saw a bit of her in wisconsin. But i dont hear the president out there campaigning, angry kivative whites dont want to see him. That we know. But the president s been campaigning, doing fund raisers. Hes not doing them in the states, but hes raising tons of money for the dccc and getting the message out. As excited as you are, i would have no doubt about the turnouts. Anyway, republicans could use this to add to th majority if they have a good day four weeks from tonight. In kansas, greg orman, hell organize with whatever wins. Tom tillis, beats kay hagan. I dont think hes going to do. Nor republican Corey Gardner if he beats udall, same in New Hampshire. Scott brown wins against the incumbent who happens to live in New Hampshire. What do you think the chances are of a real sweep, where the republicans dont just take the senate, they really it up to the mid 50s . Very minimal. You can cut michigan right out of there, chris. [ all speak at once ] absolutely. Look, its not only over its been over for months and months. Weve never had that race out in the democratic column. And some of the others are real stretches that you just mentioned. Look, this is not a slam dunk for the republicans. A year ago they thought they were going to run up 52, 53, 54 seats, and i heard numbers larger than that. Hasnt turned out that way. Its a sixyear itch election, but the itch is really not very deep. Isnt their opportunity to broad sweep elections they could win, they could win south dakota, montana, west virginia, arkansas, louisiana, and iowa. But they could also pick up a vote because orman from kansas says ill go with whatever wins. Thats another vote to add to them. And i do think the race in North Carolina is tricky because youre in virginia. For some weird reason, North Carolina and i went to grad school and im going there this weekend they move to the right. I dont know why and i dont think that can be good for kay hagan. Well, look, its possible that tillis could win. There are 28 days to go, you never know whats going to happen. She has been the great survivor of the election. I agree. I tend to think shes going to hang on. Whats much more important is kansas. That is the real fly in the ointment for the republicans. And a year ago, who could have imagined that kansas might stand in the way of republicans
gaining the senate. For orman, if he wins and hes ahead right now in the polling averages, if he wins, the question is going to be, is she going to join the Republican Caucus after hes had the stuffing beat out of him and a couple Million Dollars of Television Ads that theyre going to fund, or is he going to think about his reelection in 2020 . Hed have a better chance as a republican candidate. Thats what i think. What do you think the headlines going to be in the the Washington Post, your paper, wednesday morning after the election . Democrats hold on, keep the senate, or republicans pick up the senate in a closer vote than expected . Im going to make you mad and say it could be either one. Right now to this point in the tradition, of david broder, he never predicted either. Right now, i would say democrats hang on to the senate by a finger nail. Black vote key. Absolutely. Black vote key. Larry, can you say what you think the headline will be wednesday morning after the election . Will the democrats hold on and hold the senate . Yes, i can predict the headline precisely, chris. The headline is, senate up in air. Louisianas going to have a runoff. Georgia could easily have a runoff in january, not december like louisiana. Its going to take a week at least to figure out whos won alaska and theres bound to be one or two other squeakers. Were not going to know who is controlling the senate for a while after november 4th. Theres a prediction. I think landrieu will have a hard time in the runoff. I think thats going to be tough for her to hold. Anyway, thank you. Alaska comes in late and georgia sometimes in january. Its incredible. Thank you, jonathan capehart, larry sab toe, as brilliant as ever. Stay with us now, the entire hour for our special report on the upcoming november elections. Well look at the races that will decide control. The hottest races coming up right now. Get the zeitgeist feeling and get predictions from a round table on which way this wind is headed. Well also have the most memorable campaign ads of the year. And my favorite part of any Election Night, the concession speeches because theyre the one real part of american politics. This is a special edition of hardball, four weeks before the mid term elections. Brad. An totaled him. You two had been through everything together. Two boyfriends. Three jobs. Youre like nothing can replace brad then Liberty Mutual calls. And you break into your happy dance. If you sign up for better car replacement, well pay for a car thats a model year newer with 15,000 fewer miles than your old one. See Car Insurance in a whole new light. Liberty mutual insurance. vo solver of the slice. Pro. Teacher of the unteachable. You lower handicaps. And raise hopes. And you. Rent from national. Because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle. And go. You can even take a fullsize or above, and still pay the midsize price. pro nice drive. vo well played, business pro. Well played. Go national. Go like a pro. Four weeks from now, on Election Night itself well be watching the winners of course, but the concession speeches from the losing speeches are often the most dramatic moments in politics. A 1952 concession to eisenhower is among the most well respected speeches ever. It has grace, patriotism, and
humor. Someone asked me as i came in down on the street how i felt. And i was reminded of a story that a fellow townsman of ours used to tell, abraham lincoln. They asked him how he felt once after an unsuccessful election we want he said, he said he felt like a little boy who had stubbed his toe in the dark. And it that he was too told to cry, but it hurt too much to laugh. That was one of the best. And in 1978, ed brook lost to sagas. Brook never mentioned sagas financial troubles during the campaign. And in his concession speech, he
praised him for that. I want to congratulate Paul Saunders for the quality of his campaign. I want to congratulate him for the honorable manner in which he has conducted this campaign. When we were down in the valley, i did not cry. I cried out. And you answered that cry, and you have shown your faith and your confidence. In the valley, down in the valley, i did not cry. Thats one of the best ones. And well see if any of the losing candidates four weeks from now can match that for being honest, and a little bit of elquens wont hurt. Well be right back. So ally bank really has no hidden fees on savings accounts . Thats right. Its just that im worried about you know hidden things. Ok, whys that . No hidden fees, from the bank where no branches equals great rates. Again, i will continue to support the rff and do that as your next United States senator. If i could respond, im not sure thats what senator ernst told the Koch Brothers when she went to their secret meetings. Congressman braley, youre not running against these other people. Youre running against me. I am a mother, i am a soldier, and i am an independent leader. President obamas name is not on the ballot. And im not going to owe president obama anything on election day. Youre going to owe the Koch Brothers everything. Pretty tough. Welcome back to hardball. That was democrat bruce braley and republican joni ernst, who calls herself the pig casterator. Shes doing well. Iowa has turned out to be crucial this cycle. I think it will decide the election. Along with states like New Hampshire, and North Carolina. Where the Hardball Team will be this weekend to interview senator kay hagan. Iowa is a mustwin for democrats. Most people believe that. And republicans are poised to win in arkansas where msnbc casey is, following former president bill clintons travel stumping for embattled democrat
senator mark pryor. I thought bill was coming home to touch base for Hillary Clinton coming back in 2016. He was saying, ive roamed, ive wandered, but im home. I get the sense its about more than just this election. Your thoughts . I think thats certainly part of it. With the clintons, its always about the future. But in this case, it was a little bit about the past. These candidates are people who have been in his political life for decades. Mike ross was his driver, now running for governor. Mark pryor, trying to hold on to his senate seat. His father was closes to bill clinton for a long time. He brings something to the race that barack obama cant. Bill clinton appeals to the African American voters you were talking about earlier on the show. But also to the rural white voters, the ones that are not happy with president obama this
time around. And that was a message that bill clinton brought to these kraucr here. He rallied at college campuses, hes looking for young votes. But what he said, republicans are trying to make this about president obama. President has really only two years left. The senator you choose is going to be in there for six and that you should look past that sort of lens. He acknowledged the fraught history of race thats present here in arkansas. He talked about what it was like to be here during the Civil Rights Era and how the state has changed for the better since then. He made this pitch to students, to look forward to the future, try not to let republicans define it a certain way. If you think about congressman to the cotton, hes one of the more conservative members in the house. Hes a different kind of republican than arkansas has even even in some of the rest of the arkansas delegation, hes campaigning with huckabee on thursday. Cotton and huckabee are two very
different kinds of republicans. Casey, we got to go. Well be following you on the campaign. Joining me now for a deeper dive into some of the hottest senate races this coming month, democratic strategist David Axelrod and republican strategist. Let me ask you about iowa. This thing about castration got a lot of attention. People accused her of being a lightweight. Shes no lightweight. First of all, being called a lightweight going into a debate is a great advantage because the bar is low and shes exceeded the bar and shes been helped by those encounters. I think iowa is, i agree with you, i think iowa will be the pivotal state in this whole constellation and its very, very close. Shes got momentum. Shes got charisma. But democrats have Great Organization there. One of the things thats giving democrats some confidence there is the early vote, the
applications for absentee ballots, or early vote ballots are coming in in the same proportion they did in 2012 on a partisan basis. Their analysis suggests theyll go into election day with a three or fourpoint lead. So shell have to be more than that ahead in order to win on election day. So its really organization versus momentum and charisma, and well see. What i keep reading, hthere a tremendous number of numbers about the feeling of the country. The liberals are down. They dont want to get out there and vote. The democrat moderate, progressives, they dont have it. The right, theyre angry, theyre going to show up. Thats the way it looks now. In iowa, i think its going to help her. This isnt a shot at davids client, but i do think a lot of that is the president of the
United States. I dont think the liberals are enthused. I dont think theyre excited about the direction, about some of the decisions that hes made. Theres another interesting thing going on that i havent heard many people talk about. In a lot of close races lets stick with this in iowa. The latest poll has braley the democrat, and ernst tied at 46 for ernst and 44 for braley. But for republicans ahead now, given intensity and voter turnout, theyll win. I think she will win. I also think in some sense because she was the underdog, shes seen as the challenger, versus him being the incumbent. Thats why democrats have a lot of trouble coming up in arkansas, louisiana, North Carolina. Because even though those races might be close, the democrat is way below 50 in those seats. I look at this anlitically. I know you dont want to end up like panetta and think the
republicans are going to win, should be a loyalist. But im looking at one state that could throw everything out and thats New Hampshire. If scott brown can waltz across the border and show up in that state and actually win a senate seat after losing one in a bordering state, it shows the wind was at this guys back like you cant believe. The latest cbs poll from New Hampshire shows Jeanne Shaheen with a sevenpoint lead, but its been bouncing all over the place. Im not sure of that because in other polls hes been very close. Can he win . What i believe is that shaheens going to win. If brown wins that race, i dont think its going to be 50 or 51 republican majority. It will be more than that, because it will mean theres been a wave that will tip a number of the other races as well. I want to return to this question of iowa. The problem that democrats have had traditionally in mid term elections not just this one, is voter dropout. Democrats tend to vote in
president ial elections, not in mid term elections. If democrats in any of these states and iowa is one of them, can replicate the kind of proportionality that they get in a president ial race, they have a much better chance to win. How do they do that . They do it by very precisely organizing and thats what theyre trying to do in iowa. Its really, really this early mail ballot thing is very important because a lot of the people who are asking for applications are people who dont generally participate in these elections, and they tend to be democrats, not republicans. So these kinds of things can even up the race. But look, theres no doubt the republicans start with an advantage in the race, and its not just because of the president , and its not just because its the sixth year. But so many of the september races fall in red states, this year, seven of them. So they start with an uneven Playing Field in their favor. The chairman of the party said on television the other day, it
would be a big, big defeat for the republicans if they didnt take the senate this year. Two important things, can you only organize if theres excitement that goes with that organization. You cant just also motivate. Once theyre excited, you can get them there. If theres not the excitement, you cant. The second reason New Hampshire is so important, dollars have been sent there, dollars that cant be spent other places. The fact that that race has become challenging for the democrats, its helping republicans everywhere else. Any republicans positive about anything anything positive . What do the republicans want . One is more freedom, two is less regulations, three is less taxes, pick your own doctor. Theres a lot of things. I think theres a fear among republicans that there isnt real leadership in what is probably in some ways world war iii right now that we are fighting. Youre not overstating it, are you . Its a different type of war. World war iii was us kids hiding under a school test because we were going to have a nuclear war. Thats world war iii. Were in a different type of war because of how its fought. I dont agree. I dont think people feel as safe as before we can spend hours and never discuss isis. I see polling data every day and its moving up in all the polls and senate races. David axelrod, thank you for joining us. Good luck with the university of chicago effort of yours. I appreciate it. Its a great cause, to teach. Always to teach. David and john, thank you. On monday, dont miss my interview with senator kay hagan. Were go to North Carolina to see her this weekend. I think shes going to win against tom tillis because shes got his problems as speaker of the house. Hes playing defense too. Well be there to talk to her and take a report on whats going on. Bring it all to you on monday. Up next, the best campaign ads of the season. This is the fun part of the show. This is hardball, our special tonight, four weeks before the mid term elections.

Back to hardball. With just four weeks to go before the november elections, lets look at some of the most memorable ads of the 2014 Election Year so far. The first from tom cotton of arkansas, when mark pryor said that cottons military service gave the man a sense of entitlement. Cotton enlisted his old drill sergeant from the service and responded with this. Senator pryor says my military Service Gives me a sense of entitlement. I brought in an expert. I met Sergeant Norton at basic training. Cotton, at ease. He taugh v n me how to be a soldier, accountability, and putting the unit before
yourself. Im tom cotton, i approve this message. Youre on thin ice. The next, Alison Lundergan grimes of kentucky, running against Mitch Mcconnell. She made this ad, to put some distance between herself and president obama. Im not barack obama. I disagree with him on guns, cole, and the epa. And mitch, thats not how you hold a gun. Im Alison Lundergan grimes and the approve this message. Mark begich took to riding a snowmobile. Im mark begich, i fought for five years to get the permit to drill under this ice, and we won. I approve this message because sooner or later, washington will figure out that i dont take no for an answer. Greg orman, the independent candidate in running as a political outsider. He blames both parties for the
dysfunction in d. C. Here he is. If you listen to pat roberts and his washington buddies, theyll tell you president obama and harry reid are the reason washington is such a mess. And you know what, theyre half right. But the other half of the mess, Mitch Mcconnell and pat roberts. Theyre both more interested in political gains than problem solving. And then to michigan, gary peters attack on womens issues and she came out with this most basic of rebuttals. Congressman gary peters and his buddies want you to believe im waging a war on women. Really . Think about that for a moment. Im terry lynn land and i approved this message, because as a woman, i might know a little bit more about women than gary peters. Not exactly actors rs are
they . And last but not least, the most recognizable ad of the 2014 season. Joni ernst big castration ad in iowa. Im joni ernst, i grew up casterating hogs on an iowa farm. So when i get to washington, ill know how to cut pork. Wow, up next, whats the mood of the country going into the election . Its only four weeks now. Are we looking at a wave election, a big vote against president obama or not . Thats ahead, youre watching hardball, a special addition of the program, a place for politics.

Welcome back to this special edition of hardball, four weeks before the election. We vote in this country because its right thing to do and because we want to send a message with our vote. Either yes or no about the way things are going. What will the message be in november this year . What are the midterm elections really about . Are they rebuke tob ;e Presiden Obama . Whats the mood of the country right now . We have some geniuses with us
right now. Lets bring in the round table. Ken vogel, reporter with politico which steals reporters from the Washington Post. And Steve Mcmahon is a democratic strategist, a real one. Let me go to this. Whats the one word to define the mood of the country going into this election . I would go with sour. 76 of the country think were on the wrong track. Pretty similar to when we saw republicans take back the house. Sour . I think anxious and frustrated. Frustrated that things arent moving forward. Frustrated theyre not hearing a lot of plans for where to go. And maybe Neither Party is saying what thir going to do. I think the summer was a tough one for obama. Were in syria. Ruffled feathers and people are nervous. Disgusted. Theyre disgusted with their
leaders in washington. If they could vote them all ought, thout, they would. That never happens, though. Its always in one direction. When you look at the numbers this year, its as bad as its ever been. Not before you were born. Right now the mood of the country doesnt look swell for democrats. 2 3 say the country is on the wrong track. Less than a quarter say were on the right track. Both of those are worst than 2010. Also republicans are winning the intensity battle, which is everything in a midterm. Look at this. If you ask registered voters which party should control the congress, they say democrats. 4642. Not bad. But if you ask high intensity voters, the ones who are gung ho to vote, you get the opposite. They want a republicancontrolled congress, 5148. Thats a serious matter there for the democrats. And finally, the base, 38 of democrats say theyre voting
this november in support of the president. Down from 45 in 2010 in line with the support george w. Bush, and he didnt get in support from 2006 from his republican parties when they lost the houses. Youre a democratic consultant. You were on their side. Im often otd side of democrats, i admit. But heres the question, how are they going to win the voters and get people to get roused up. Capehart gave a rousing speech a few minutes ago, but thats the first ive heard. Mrs. Obama is out there. But how do you i think when the economy improves and it is improving, but everybodys not feeling it. When it does improve, who is the American Economy going to work for . The wealthy and the special interests and thats still an area that democrats win overwhelmingly. Why dont they brag about the economy Getting Better . Because a lot of people dont feel its Getting Better. Why dont they brag about the people that are feeling better . The unemployment is under 6 . A quarter million new jobs in one month, ten million new jobs since the crash. Dont you sell your strengths . Politics . You do. Those are the strengths, and everybody nods their heads and saying, why am i not feeling . The money in their pockets and paychecks hasnt gone up, so theyre not feeling it. Republicans would be bragging right now. So how is this different . I think youve heard some of the bragging from obama, but i think hes got to temper it with how people are actually feeling. He has to figure it out. We lived through the 1930s, it was hoshl for a decade. And roosevelt kept saying, were getting somewhere. I watched those guys spiking the ball last night. Democrats dont know how to spike the ball. Thats their problem. They put the ball down and walk over to the sidelines. No, throw that thing, do something the difference between this and 2010, both sides to an
extent did have a unifying message. The republicans were running against obamacare. Democrats were talking about things were turning around. Now its fractured. What do you make of these guys like leon panetta, not just him, but begich and hagan, theyre walking away from him. Every man for himself. If we dont all hang together, well hang separately. Thats a line from the revolution. Now theyre hanging separately. If youre Mary Landrieu in louisiana, you want to hang separately from this president. How do you get the black vote if you run away from the president . African americans will show up. Michelle obama is out there talking specifically to them. President obama has gone under cover in the mid terms, but he resurfaced last thursday. Heres the president making his best case. Dont buy this notion that
somehow this is an antibusiness agenda. This is a qvatprobusiness agen. This is a proeconomic growth agenda. Im not on the ballot this fall. Michelles pretty happy about that. [ laughter ] but make no mistake, these policies are on the ballot. Every single one of them. Republicans were quick to jump on that probusiness remark, prompting some democrats to run damage control. Heres axelrod on meet the press this sunday. If you read the speech, the context of the line was, the things hes pushing forward, minimum wage, pay equity, infrastructure, he said these are on the ballot. But the way it was obvious when you saw the speech that that was not the way youre an ad man wait. It was a mistake. What was the mistake there . What was the mistake . Yeah. I think giving republicans a cliff to hang on democrats necks. Mark warner is sitting in virginia and republicans are saying he voted with obama 97 of the time. And now theres a clip that puts them together. Im not sure that changes anyones mind. Its essentially saying [ all speak at once ] theyre already pretty enthusiast enthusiastic. Its not going to change a democrats mind. Lets talk turkey, lets get rough. Panetta is trashing the president on the decisions hed made. Shouldnt there be a period of loyalty . You wont write a back and you wont become a lobbyist for two years after you leave. How about while the guy is still in office . Well, yeah. Its unfortunate for democrats because for the first time, Foreign Policy is something voters care about. Why is she doing this . Partly because hes not going to work in politics anymore. He wants to sell books. The Kennedy Administration didnt write books. Loyalty is still a good thing. You only get appointed by one president to one job. Anyway theres a suggestion hes running interference for Hillary Clinton. Hows that . Legacy. Hes out there singing i think thats too cute. [ all speak at once ] i think there may be some truth to that. He thinks he can circle back and get anyway, thank you, the round table is coming back. Well get to the stakes coming up now.

It seems to me that the big thing you get if youre the republicans and take over the
senate, you get the subpoena power. Thats what went after reagan, its what caused bill clinton to be impeached. If you get that power, you have power. And you control it not just in the ability to give obama a hard time, you really have to look at clinton. I think thats the thing about it. You go after benghazi for the hundredth time. Yeah, you can. I think the big question for republicans will be are they going to want to relitigate obamas continuum. Or will they want to think about 2016. Its like the clown show over there. But they dont really get covered. The senate gets covered. Mccain will get covered. Mccain will get covered. If they get benghazi, it will be
big news. I dont want to be cynical, but whats the difference . Functionally, the same. Mcconnell will have some symbolic votes. Obama says there will be a different debate, at least. There will. The house will pass things and then the Republican Senate will pass things. Hell negotiate over a signature. He might have some antibiotic to move some things. Thats one of the theories, you know, if the republicans control both houses, maybe theyll be able tote good many some stuff done. I want to have some fun with you. Which senator who lives of the democrats, will the president miss socially . Miss hanging around with . Miss spending time with, playing cards with. You know what point im making, dont you . He doesnt hang out with any of them. Who is he going to miss socially . I dont know. I take your point. But i do think republicans do have to be careful in going too aggressively if they take the senate after obama using subpoena power. You can predict. You can predict. Can you predict . Probably not. I thi think its right on th right now. I think if they had to vote right now, theyd get it with one vote. I do think the democrats, the good ones, the smart campaigners are going to earn their seats in the next four weeks. Thats true of all of these people. In these tough states, these are democrats who have run there and won there before. They have the ability to do it. I think the republicans have been really set back by pat roberts who is in kansas. Youve got to win seven now. Yes, and thats a lot harder than six. And by the way, this guy in kansas, i dont know who im going to join with, thats a little flaky. Thank you both.

let me finish tonight with a publication in paperback today of tipper mcgibber. Spe speaker of the house tip okneel and the countrys top conservative, president ronald reagan. Right with the two forces in
american politics meet head on. Where the left meets the right and either something good happens or nothing happens. We cut the rates and, yes, at the cold war, it all worked although we rarely stopped fieging. But when we did, we found a way that got good things done. For the country. It was okay. Rousing, passionate and often noisy politics at its best. I wish boehner wow read this book. I wish the president would read it because its a handbook. An operators manual making this government work. Something it hasnt been doing. Its the reason why voters, except for the haters out there, who just love government shutdowns and all of this failure to get something done arent all that excited about the elections coming up. Why vote if it doesnt get anything done. The fact is, in my book, it tells this story. It can. I was right there when it did. When left men were right and good things got done
