lou: election day in many ways has been a battle, it seems, from the future of the republican party. establishment republicans trying to crush the tea party in some races and in some cases losing their way. >> chris christie set the stage for a run in 2016. but he seemed to be running morgans the tea party at times than his democratic opponent. in part because it created an effective appeal to the liberal voters in new jersey. in virginia, tea party back republican ken cuccinelli lost by only three points to terry mcauliffe points when polls once had him losing by double digits. the gop establishment worked rd to push away the tea party and icredibly allow and obama bumbletouild libertarian
10:13 pm
tennessee that took twice as many votes asthe margin of victory. there is a lot to be learned from the gubernatorial races in virgia and nw jersey and one lesson certainly is the gop leadership is committed to big business and establishment candidate as they are with the conservative candidates. no better example than in the first congressional district in alabama. committing an enormous amount of resources to ai like bradley burns over dion. c the republican party win next year without including libertarians and the tea party lot of public initiativesn the ballot last night as well. folks in colorado can smoke pot, but the rocky mountain highl beaxed a 25% and a split

10:15 pm
let's start with you, a remarkable win for governor chris christie. >> it becomes even more amazing, chr christie who everyone thinks is a good moderate -- he could e both, right? lou: he called himself a conservative. >> but he got 92% of the tea party vote in the polls and that is amazing. >> particularly with some of the things that he said about the tea party. >> a lot of the demoatic core constituents and many of them won by 59-point
10:16 pm
lou: there was a 19-point increase aswell. >> this is utting across all the of the lines and to me, this is heartening that a republican candidate can cross over that way and we have a lot o voters who simply want answers to their problems. lou: what we watched in virginia was a dramatic demonstration of powerful establishment politics on the democrat side and if not the principalfundraiser, he just barely got through against the tea party candide, but the republican party was basically trng to kill by strangling and suffocating him from lack of money. >> if you ask the people, they will say they will beup. >> we all read the polls.
10:17 pm
so in some cases i would say that terry cauliffe was a flawed candidate. these are not rockstar candidates and i think even bob mcdonnell, the republican governor, s what is that saying in the struggle f the prty? >> get his approval ratings are so down. that is amazin lou: up to oe. i diagree. i think that both candidates could think that both candidates convinced ou candidates. but they chose unfortunate paths in their canddacy. can kuchen away broughtll oo the warmth and energy to his candidacy and frankly i terviewed him and i talked with him and this is a man who

obama disaers like bengzi or the irs sandal, along the way, does the whole job issue. in these races would've come out very differently as well. >> the problem with his campaign was operating in the state of ne jersey and he went out there and spoke to the voters and was defined as thigs like this. >> the usual war on women's strategy. to which the repblican don't have a counterstrategy. >> they do, it's all chris christie, he ran against the all woman ticket in the history of this nation. >> there is no attacon him on the war on woen's and itwasn't
