a war on women, or on on the middle class, and the war on gays. i have been in the out now for six years and in 2009 i lead the right where we passed marriage equality into law. i talked about my husband of 20 years, our two kids and not how literally mundane our life is and i think that made it normal for a lot of people. >> stephanie: gays can be just as boring as straight people. trust me on that. >> caller: and we are the poster children for that. but whenever you talk about gay familiar list, the conservative hair just catches on fire and their heads pop off. >> stephanie: and you had this national organization of marriage after you right? >> caller: yeah, there's some talk that there is going to be some national organization for

marriage money coming in because i lead the fight for marriage equality rights in new hampshire. and they tried the same thing against governor lynch a democrat. they wanted to send a signal to other governors around the nation. >> stephanie: right. david they are on the wrong side of history and they are hugely losing the fight. thanks for calling in and good luck. we will be routing for you. >> caller: thank you. >> stephanie: thank you, david. david pierce there he is. new hampshire! >> vote for him. >> stephanie: kevin in d.c., i haven't talked to you in ages. good morning, kevin. >> caller: i was so excited crew, i got to say what is up to

becomes a category 2 hurricane. the good news is that even though the forecast models are fairly uncertain, it doesn't like lie the storm will get up to that intensity. the major said his city is prepared to call off the festivities, but florida governor rick scott isn't saying anything to that effect so far. and an rnc spokesman says his party will nominate mitt romney next week no matter what. the news coverage of the presidential candidates is more negative now than any election in recent times. narratives about the president and mitt romney's characters are overwhelmingly negative. the president is seen as not doing enough for the economy, while mitt romney is seen as an

corporate elitist and corporate vulture. the negatives are so high they say because people are getting more information from the campaigns as opposed to journalists and independent reporters. we're back with more after the break. as his tax returns, then he's been going commando for the past 10 years. >>since when do you get to say stuff like that on tv? >> listen, if you'd read your email once in a while, you'd know i have a new show.

about that and how he chastised everybody. i didn't see the big deal with that. i see the big deal with this. 32 pieces of legislation. in fact he was on that bill 3 that -- you know first introduced the language forcible rape. the unborn child pain awareness act where they tell you how much pain that the abortion is going to cause an unborn fetus, and it's about guilt. they are good at using guilt. and it's crazy that -- you know, that he will not, you know speak to it because he can't run from him. >> stephanie: yeah. yeah. as he said cantor and akin are joined at the hip on the issue. that's what is so unfortunate, i think that didn't get a lot of press the whole forcible rape thing, but now todd akin has put

a spotlight on that right? >> oh yeah. but i still don't understand what legitimate rape is? >> stephanie: yeah. >> what is a legitimate rape? is that when you get your rocks it's legitimate. i don't understand it. >> stephanie: yeah. that's what i was saying -- i don't know how that is any less offensive. forcible rape is just as offensive. like the president said rape is rape. since when did we get into trying to parse it like that? >> well you know, it's extremist. over here the seventh district was about split on this issue two years ago, and with all of the government ultrasound stuffs, and the transvaginal ultrasound the district now is 68% pro-choice. and they know unfaves are really

high, and he doesn't want to talk about it because it is so out of the main treatment here right now. >> stephanie: mudcat this is a perfect example as you know you know who was in charge of writing the republican platform transvaginal bob. >> yes. >> stephanie: it's part of the entire policy. >> well, bob mcdonald -- you know, he was trained at pat robertson's school of jesus, and, you know, it shows. i call him sodomy bob. >> he has got to earn that name. >> he has already earned it. he put in this bill about anybody who was put on the bench in virginia had to sign an oath this was when he was in the legislator that they had never committed sodomy and the guy

asked him if he committed sodomy, and he said he didn't recall. like i told people i'll forget where i put my car keys but there are some things in life i'm not going to forget. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: this is todd akin. >> i don't know the future. >> stephanie: people said he was opening the door to maybe getting out. what do you think? >> i don't think he'll get out. i hope he doesn't get out. any democrat that calls on him to get out. i'm at odds with that. claire can beat him now. >> stephanie: yeah, the people have been making a lot of he is still winning, but he was up by one point, and he had been up by like 7 before this. >> yeah, and claire is going to hit her stride here in a month or so, anyway within a month, and the momentum has clearly shifted, and, you know,

everybody knows who has been around politics you can take all of the components of electoral politics and [ inaudible ] trumps them all. and the fact that she made such a gain in polls is indicative of her hitting her momentum and she'll be hitting her stride. >> stephanie: have you in your years seen a poll like the 94% to 0 the president has among african american voters over mitt romney. >> no. [ laughter ] >> that came out this morning. >> any time you are at zero -- that's -- >> stephanie: that's pretty bad. >> and there's 3.1% margin of error. >> really? you know, the african american community is -- is energized again. i just hope that energy, you

know goes back and to where it was and -- in 2008, and it will never be where it was in 2008 because that was possibly the greatest momentum election of all time in the history of presidential politics but it is showing in african american communities that the momentum is back, and i think with some of the stuff that the republicans have done including this welfare you know -- >> stephanie: lie, yes. >> -- talk i think this has offended the african american constituency big time and rightly so and has reenergized them. >> stephanie: yep, i have been saying all morning, you know, this could be -- you know from being a woman to just following politics for a long time i have never seen the kind of white hot anger that all of this stuff has ignited among women. i have a feeling that women

voters will be mobilized like never before this election. >> i think so. we're at 68% pro choice in this district because of all of the things that hit. rachel [ inaudible ] was on letterman last night. never in my life or since i have been working on politics have i seen parties -- you know, it has become tribal. >> stephanie: yeah. >> it really has. it's tribal. and that's why the great hostilities exist, and that's why the great push on partisanship exists, and, you know, we got to get away from that. tribalism is not the way to get stuff done in washington. >> stephanie: yep. yep. well, apparently -- apparently it's all the president's fault. he ran on hope and change and then apparently he was just incredibly angry and hateful.

>> well, that's true. i'm just hoping this hurricane doesn't hit down there in tampa so we can get this over with and hear what they got to say, but if they don't get a pop out of this, i think mitt romney you know with the democratic convention coming the following week, i think that -- the lack of momentum that he kicked up with the ryan selection -- >> stephanie: yeah, that's kind of historic the lack of a bump for ryan for all of the people fawning over him in this republican party he got no bump at all. >> i remember in 2004 -- of course i did the edwards campaign that year, when carey announced him, he got a 21-point bump. >> stephanie: yep. >> but what has happened with paul ryan is the choir is singing louder. it's just -- there's no more people in the choir. >> romney can count on 6% of the

african american vote. they are in his back pocket. >> stephanie: exactly. mudcat, love to talk to you honey. see you next week. >> all right. y'all take care. >> you too mudcat.
