i will start with harold. >> i assume he would start with paul. [laughter] they can raise money.money will be very tight. i don't know what you doing on any of this, but when i was at the white house, it is something that we focused on. two, i think the white house has a very strong message to kerri, a positive and either negative, -- strong message to carry, positive or either negative. shining a light and republicans. they have no message. they have the message of no on everything. it started with the first stimulus bill. i know we don't like to use the word stimulus and more as democrats. but there was high hopes that it would be but partisanship, and there should have been. the country and the world was on the brink of a massive depression, brought about by the princes of wall street and the republican policies. it was not one republican vote in the house of representatives, not one, and only three in the united states senate. it seems to me that from that point forward, it has been no, no, no, one or message. i think it is turned off independent -- once core core message. i

i agree with what harold and part of what paul said. one of the differentiating factor is that in 1994, democrats were in charge for 40 years. republicans could climb to do things and away, and there was no evidence to suggest that their programs were not going to work, that they cannot do it, that their contract with america was not the contract on america. it was easy for the republican party to pay themselves as a different kind of animal. there was unity. there was much more unity in the republican party. the contract was very specific, not the broad platitudes we are going to hear from john boehner next week. it was specific pieces of legislation. the party was so unified at that all but two republican members of congress signed onto it. we still completely ignored it and thought it was not going to go anywhere. there was another element, another kind of unifying thing -- we all ran against ross perot in the 1992 campaign, and thought he was ridiculous. but remember how much traction he got on the idea of balancing the budget. the

give us a chance. >> harold is well known around the charlotte area. a sportscaster for almost 30 years at a charlotte tv station. he has a lot of name recognition in the western part of the populated. he ended up in a runoff with a republican who is very conservative. he was appointed by the two- partyte -- a party. -- by the t party. he also had a loss of money. he spent a lot of his own money. harold, it was hard to raise money subsequent to that. he is making the point about nancy pelosi. if you look at voting records, larry's voting record is 95%, which is not a typical for a member of congress, but harold johnson has blown up and is trying to ride the wave of anger at washington. whether he can do that, we will see. i think it will come down to the democrats who helped larry in 2008 are going to come out and vote or stay home. a lot of it will depend on how much the tea party faction helps harold johnson. if you talk to them now, and there are a lot, a lot of them supported him in the primary. you know, they might sit on their hands. they could v

harold?mber, if the republicans gain a majority in the house and/or the senate, you will have a large number of these tea party candidates that make it happen. it was reported in politico a few days ago that boehner said he can manage a tea party -- large number of tea partiers in the congress. you have some conservatives saying we're going to demand certain things. sarah palin would be the national face and national voice and maybe even national organizer of some of this new energy in the congress. so whether she runs or not, she's certainly going to be that power broker. i agree with willie, i think she's running. >> joe, the house republicans are going to unveil tomorrow in virginia sort of their blueprint, their game plan, what they're going to do if they take control of congress. there's going to be a couple nods to the tea party movement in that platform that's unveiled tomorrow. they recognize this is a powerful group that will help propel them into power certainly in the house. >> and
