welcome back to all in all awards special. you have entered the lightning round, in which we go around quickly and say what the under-the-radar victory of the year was. richard kim. the statement in wage hikes, including in new jersey, which passed by 61%. it s a constitutional amendment and it s a hike to inflation and it will go up year after year. lizz winstead. mitch mcconnell actually has somebody who is possibly going to at least show that there are democrats in kentucky and she could possibly win. that would be awesome. already elected to statewide office, very young and polling evenly with mitch o connell, a big surprise. big deal. my victory of the year keys off yours. it s a tiny municipality, sea-tac, where the seattle-tacoma airport is. they passed a wage hike under the logic that most of those workers work in an airport and that airport can t go anywhere. and what i like about this, too, is it s a little bit of policy experimentation. if the doomsdayers about
it s a constitutional amendment and it s a hike to inflation and it will go up year after year. lizz winstead. mitch mcconnell actually has somebody who is possibly going to at least show that there are democrats in kentucky and she could possibly win. that would be awesome. already elected to statewide office, very young and polling evenly with mitch o connell, a big surprise. big deal. my victory of the year keys off yours. it s a tiny municipality, sea-tac, where the seattle-tacoma airport is. they passed a wage hike under the logic that most of those workers work in an airport and that airport can t go anywhere. and what i like about this, too, is it s a little bit of policy experimentation. if the doomsdayers about this are right, the negative consequences will make themselves know and discredit this move. if they re wrong, we ll find out in either direction, so i m looking forward to this little laboratory of minimum wage policy. josh barro. arizona governor jan brewe
members of the republican party. mitch mcconnell quote is so telling to me the idea that you won t give the thumb s up on mitch s re-election efforts seems to be bombing yourself with political cryptonite. well, not no, i don t think that he is bombing himself with political cryptonite, but he is setting himself up and launching a grass roots campaign and in the clip that you showed he said that the people will decide this, and he is saying join my movement, and modeling on obama, and alex mentions in the piece that he was handing out david plouffe s book to his staffers, and the tension is between what is good for ted cruz and what is good for the republican party. it is pretty clear that right now the republican party is not benefiting from ted cruz, but ted cruz is clearly benefiting from ted cruz. one thing and i know that eric michael dyson will have something to say about this, and there is a difference of the we are the change message espoused by president obama which was
it has to be for something to have ideas of its own. john boehner and mitch o connell might not like the president s speeches but do they have one yet? the. you normal 17%. 9.1 for hispanic. african-americans, over 16%. he s going on this tour to sell obama care. 47% of folks think it s a bad idea. can i ask you a question? yeah. i asked about a gop plan. you re talking about the president s policies. is there a gop plan? speaker boehner and house republicans always have said we would like to cut red tape and we would like to cut governmenting spending. that s one of the main problems
is this still a marriage of convenience? i m struck that he s still trying to get right with the right in july. they re going to be there on election day but yet he was clearly concerned about the right and also the congressional wing of the problem because mitch o connell and the senate republica republicans, house republican, they were having a hard time doing that when the person on top of the ticket wouldn t call eight takes. he is sort of boyibowing to thed want to get this done, make this move on july 4th. bury the news. the hope that chris was saying the jobs numbers come out friday. short week. short week. it s been, you know, three weeks. we ve talked about every issue other than the economy and it s not a coincidence, i think, that romney campaign, when they re not talking about the economy and the subject is not the economy, they re on the road.
