For a division of the National Institutes of standards and technology. Mr. Grant, thats quite a mouthful, but what is nistic as its known . Guest i should say every program in washington seems to get one. Weve got one of the catchier ones.

Because on the ground does matter in these campaigns. So my fifth point here is, guys, we have a long ways to go. In critical terms, we are well, were five weeks out, four and a half weeks out from the election. Thats several political lifetimes. A lot of stuff can happen, this race the senate is not yet decided. You know, i think it may change a couple of times between now and election day. And dont take, you know, dont take to heart all these, everything saying, gee, republicans have that enthusiasm advantage. You know what . If the democrats ground game works and works well and they have unlimited number of states to do it in, six or eight states, that enthusiasm advantage may be wiped away by the democrat turnout operation.

He should have because thats the truth. Rather, he said that obama had won the second term essentially through bribery. Well, look, i have three rules for both parties as they converge now to do their squoobs. Respect the voter, respect each others offices, and search hard for common ground. Those are what we should be doing and that should be the way were guiding our countrys conversation today. Not trashing the people who voted against you. But respecting the fact that they did for your own good. David corn is Washington Bureau chief for mother jones and joy reid is managing editor of the grio. Both are msnbc political analysts.
