if you lose that seat twice, you re kind of done. forget the governor. one is the has-been syndrome. lose two races in a row, and yeah, that s it. you re a has-been. but the second is the problem that bedevilled him the last few years starts all over again. he won the special election in january 2010 and spent the next two years having to be a republican senator having to represent a very blue state. an he would be up in 2014. this is just to fill the final basically year and a half of john kerry s seat. so it would be a year and a half of casting votes that are going to put him in a very dangerous position for 2014. and even if he survived both of those, he would be vulnerable again for the same reason, more vulnerable again for the same reason. 2020, you get the turnout issue. massachusetts, bill weld, paul cellucci, mitt romney, even a different version of mitt romney, they will elect republican governors.
again for the same reason, more vulnerable again for the same reason. 2020, you get the turnout issue. massachusetts, bill weld, paul cellucci, mitt romney, even a different version of mitt romney, they will elect republican governors. scott brown, 2010 in that special election is the only time since ed brook in 1972 that massachusetts has elected a republican to the senate. and not since 1994 in the gingrich landslide when two slipped in have massachusetts elected a republican to federal office of any kind. and there is a reason why. and the state is getting more blue, not less blue over time. right. let me ask you about a broader picture. the miami herald reported on an fbi raid on the office of a listening-time supporter of new jersey democratic senator bob menendez. the senator is denying any wrongdoing. but is that rattling new jersey politics enough? is there enough noise around senator bob menendez that potentially his seat is worth thinking about on either side? there
everyone thinks if you can check this box somehow we ll get them. right? that s not how politics works. it s courting them every day. i think the mere fact that we didn t get all the conservative hispanics we could have gotten that s an outrage. laura: that s a turnout issue. are we communicating to them. since 2006 talked about the fact that republicans lost the house and the senate. laura: we lost 30 house seats in and six senate seats. wasn t a good year. i will agree with that we stopped communicating to spanish speaking media. that s one of the things that both governors bush understood well you have tone gauge these people every day. if the republican national committee doesn t have a surrogate on ever show whenever it is wanted to explain our conservative values. laura: go to the neighborhoods, have you written about. this go to the places where these voters are don t be afraid to enter into territory. don t treat it as enemy territory. treat it as reagan wood. future
