week day one of the the politics of their
second showing our new studio and the biggest difference for video audience
louis today will be that there's actually lights on in the studio i was the last week both that it was completely dark in here and they
looked like a ghost i still look like a ghost is not that much that can be done
about that but at least but there's some light on right read your pretty tasty feller we had a bunch of primaries just
recently just hours ago some of the votes are still being counted as a
matter of fact and uh... i want to go through a few of
them the most interesting ones in the is not charlie rangel charlie rangel did
win amidst this affix investigator investigation that's going on i wasn't really surprised lewis the
charlie rangel one anyway number one there were a number of different
candidates in that race so it wasn't these are all primaries by the way there are a bunch of candidates to split
the vote up so it was hard for one specific handed it to really get
momentum going against charlie rangel so you know not that he was caught with
ten thousand dollars his freezer like another congressman was but it still wasn't good but i i expected
him to win the primary anyway i really didn't know what to expect that
with the charges picture you but you want charlie rangel outright
do i remember correctly i mean different pastoral care are
really care about that one of the audience biggest criticisms about louis
he just doesn't doesn't seem to care solicit you had to say should he stay or
go at what's your opinion is fine let's keep 'em you want to say
you want really read estate the most interesting story to me is that we have
another tea party candidate achieve agar so to
speak or maybe just a dagger if that's the it may be more polite wages to to refer
to her christine o'donnell beat mike pence in the republican primary this is this is fascinating to me this
is one of the more interesting races and i have video of christine o'donnell i don't really know what to think of
this but think it's good for democrats we talked last week with my clocks about now the tea party may save democrats in november and actually think this is a perfect
example i mean it it it might be hence looked in the polls like if he won the
republican primary yesterday he would do very very well in the actual
election in november now that christine o'donnell has one christine o'donnell do not be confused ladies and gentlemen
christine o'donnell is a bona fide rush limbaugh sarah palin candidate she
opposes abortion she favors gun rights she opposes
masturbation as well that's at that time even something most candidates take a
position on and it is that lewis hi i've never heard that fortnightly
audit at the top of your list of your litmus test for who you vote for but
that's not something as terrible has to be for masturbation is she's even starting to dress in look
like sarah palin she had on the sarah palin red suit yesterday i'll play a
little bit of an interview from from c_n_n_ last night this is this
is a it's fascinating stuff let me tell you if we can get it playing hi i'd type
think our audience will agreed this is a sarah palin clone so to speak arabic ko has been the
greeting supporters on the first of all what message do you think your victory
here sense to you called the establishment republicans are
cannibalizing the party that we the people want and what is
hurting you know it's not without power it's
about principles has a lot of work to do to get our country back on track and i
think the voters are craving for candidates who will stand for something we've already been told this evening
that the national republicans party organization that often funds campaigns
like yours is not going to find yours spot and that many national republicans
have said simply you cannot win in november to meet their
money can you win without style and then they don't have a winning track record cannot present isn't that great and many
air and i would love support anything so comments that he said that i've been in
the community so that's not that's really her voice first of all those we
have not modified or manipulated her voice in any way i would this is chris is the candidate but now
it has to face off against the democratic i think lewis that this is a gold mine
for the democrats now i understand nobody thought that ronald reagan would
win and early on it seemed funny and he won but think that this is this is great
for democrats at least in this particular race is it not i mean this
woman is given bill kristol who succeeded this is a quote from bill
kristol i know sarah palin i respect sarah palin with all due
respect christine o'donnell is nocera pale and
we have found a candidate that is making sarah palin look like a good option for elected office that takes a lot
doesn't not louis are i haven't heard a lot for her actually
all effort is belvoir read an article about it and i just heard this clip but she does
sound a bit more intelligent dissimilar know though that this woman is
absolutely nuts i mean this is this is an example of speaking made the republican party is being bush to the not far-right would be a net
far-right would be a relief from what's going on this is an
example of the absolutely kooky right i mean a brand paul sharon angle sharon angle of course rape and incest
or god's plan and christine o'donnell win in november is the kooky right going to become the
new normal for the republican party any of these types of candidates by the rush limbaugh and sarah
palindrome driven candidates the new normal for the republican party
luis i don't know but the people are just
picking up steam they are but the thing is i don't think
it's going to get it has nothing to do with democrats they're picking off republican voters and i don't know that pate listen great she won but i think it was about uh...
it roughly fifty five forty five i don't have in front of me here it sure about fifty five forty five in
the republican primary democrats aren't going to vote for
christine o'donnell no doubt that we can be sure of and to
have a hard time imagining that most independent even conservative
independents who like mike pence relatively moderate dot are going to vote for christine
o'donnell just because she is the republican candidate that i don't
see it looks right away started i mean it's just it's it's a disaster for the republicans i can't disagree with you more are agree
with you more lewis and at this this than latest both of them looking at an
employee one up here that just came out actually has now coons who is running out as the
democratic candidate against o'donnell and is now off he is now up eleven points in the latest
poll against this woman christine o'donnell and he was down in hypothetical against
mike pence polls if there's not better evidence was that
this is not a good direction but then that i don't know what it's now
of course you know these polls were taken very very shortly
after the results that we got will see what
happens it's by no means a guarantee that the democrats can't go too crazy i saw that coons already put out an ad
kind of saying this is my opponent with a picture of christine o'donnell almost ridiculing her i don't think
that's the right here i think you should play it cool hopefully they will be debating it will
become a parent that this woman is eighty baga reincarnated in a sarah
palin suit i mean that's essentially what she is i think it most people work to watch the
uh... watch the debates and pay attention to or these candidates are are trying to accomplish that she would lose but as we know a lot of people don't pay attention we will see in new york conservative
