. >> i remember during the gore lieberman campaign, they put out cher, she didn't like joe lieberman. she was their spokesman. you have to be pretty careful. >> stacy dash says the only choice improper for your future, vote mitt romney. her peers said jam you'll jackson called her crazy. did the media back her up at all? here is a woman coming under attack. would you back her up? >> if i knew who people in hollywood are, i might, but they did get a lot of publicity and they did supported mitt romney. >> i alive live in l.a., we have a lot more republicans than people think. this is kind of thing of the east coast media, they think everybody is liberal. we have kid rock who has supported mitt romney. i'll give you there are more liberals, eva longoria, here she attacks conservative women and women who are pro-life. she is not getting the outrage that others would get. someone should call her out on it. >> she tweeted this week, i have no-no idea how any women to vote for romney. >> she won't lose a single endorsement contract. stacy dash gets pounded into the dirt. there are a lot of c

i think lieberman with the jewish vote on the line, states like florida as battlegrounds, i think liebermaney's side would be really big news. coming down on obama side would be big news for another reason. and i think bloomberg because he's a national figure. i think would have a pretty good endorsement. but i don't think we're going to get either of those. >> don't think that the national jewish community would go oh, lieberman said that so let's roll with him. >> there's a big red line between obama and romney on israel. >> i mean for a generation now, this is the year the jewish vote turns on the democrats. >> joe lieberman can't endorse there's not a jewish guy in the race. >> colin powell's endorsement has gotten a lot of attention. many other endorsements fly under the radar. george bush i'm for mitt romney. this was not captured on camera. too bad. others maybe getting a little too much attention the red carpet roll out for mitt romney in february. some do matter those of local newspapers in battleground states there's one that's yet to weigh in that's the des moines register. talk

lieberman, let me put it to you, chime in if i have missed anything. in my description, you guys follow it closer than we do. did i get anything wrong there or confuse any details there? >> no, i think you got most of it pretty much correct. we are still fighting these fights. we have some victories, some important victories from the united states district court and then most recently from the sixth circuit court of appeals. we're just waiting to set the hours on the weekend before election day so that we can get everybody down there and get everybody to vote. >> go ahead. i didn't mean to interrupt you, sir. >> i agreed with dennis. i think it's critical for us to get folks to the poll and do it as soon as we can. and try to forego any of the delays planned by people. >> with this delay in responding to the federal ruling here, we have the federal ruling on friday. we immediately got a response from the secretary of state saying he wasn't going to respond that day. he wasn't going to respond over the weekend. and he didn't respond today either. so he'

it is clear, senator lieberman decided to take a step away. clinton weighed in on the stakes for her boss in tonight's debate. >> i think he'll do fine. i think he just has to get out there and talk about what he's done for the country and wants to do the next four years. >> tonight's debate has the chance to put space for the candidates, both men face challenge, show passion without being aggressive, sell their vision for the country, you know, and actually win this election. this morning, i spoke to new york's democratic senator, chuck schumer, about the debate taking place tonight in his home state. how important is it for president obama? >> i think it's fright important for the president but i have a lot of confidence in him. i think, you know, he knows it wasn't his best performance last time and he is a fight, he's win. and you know, he has -- sort of an easy case to make and that is that the real mitt romney is this and in the debate they try hide who the real mitt romney is. it's easily punctured. >> do you think there was something t

and joe lieberman did not make an aggressive case against the bush/cheney ticket. it sounded like they were in the men's club having tea. >> i thought it was a membership club. >> lieberman was trying to get in and it was a tremendous lost opportunity. i also don't think people care about the vice presidential candidates particularly as people. as people. they want to know what the arguments are for a change of administration or to keep the current administration. >> so debate the top guys? >> debate the top guys. don't spend all of your time trying to make paul ryan look bad. >> the advantage is to make the top guy look good. joe biden will be selling president obama and ryan will be selling romney. >> here is the reaction earlier today. >> right now the romney campaign is running away from their positions, like unwanted step children but we're going to hold them to them and explain to the country exactly what the differences are here because the choice is very stark. >> well, what do you think they will do, chuck? do you say there's a connection between what he j

we had a resolution voted on in the senate that got 90-1 to support a resolution from graham and lieberman saying containment is not enough. we need to make sure they do not reach nuclear capability. >> how do you make sure they do not? >> first, by making sure we keep imposing sanctions and amplify them if we can. work as hard as we can on another track to provide a coalition with the international community to keep the pressure on. we should never take off the table the ultimate option, which would be military action. >> vice president biden said in his debate that you have to look at the in richmond lovell's -- enrichment levels. what they do not have is a weapon. my thought when he said that is they have a truck. if that is all they need, what is your response to that kind of sinking in? >> to have outlined the problem. even if they do not have every step of technical capability, they have the potential to export that material around the world. we used only be concerned about the threat posed by the soviet union. now we are concerned about non- state doctors, small groups, who can deto

democratic election officials dennis lieberman and todd richie were fired by ohio's republican secretaryr trying to protect voting rights, for standing up for more voting hours. today a judge refused to give them their jobs back. thank you both for being here. and let me just say, you are two champions for democracy and we are all sorry for this ruling and that it didn't go your way. we are all losers in this. dennis, let me start with you. does this ruling today make you regret your decision to stand up for voting rights? >> absolutely not. tom and i were talking about this earlier. we would not have changed a thing. we would have done everything exactly the way that we did it. this was never about tom and i. this has been, from the very beginning, about allowinging people to vote and about making it accessible. and about doing the right thing. and i feel we've done that. today's ruling was only about whether we should be granted a preliminary injunction. in the sixth sir kit, that's a difficult thing to have obtained. we knew it was an outside chance but we tried. and we don't regret i

senator lieberman, senator collins as well trying to get hearings scheduled. >> absolutely.osing time with you here, so on that note about congress acting, meantime as we know more critical questions are in fact being asked by members of congress about what the administration did or did not know about the assault. republican congressman peter king, as we've discussed, the chairman of the house homeland security security committee, has sent a letter to the president requesting the release of this information, the intelligence which led to the administration in the first place characterizing the attack as a spontaneous reaction to a film trailer posted on the internet, and then the facts that led to the administration to conclude it was in fact a terrorist attack on 9/11. does it show that something is inherently wrong in the. 's foreign policy or are they just not getting their facts in line? >> well, i think it's the world view that's wrong. the problem is when facts come in that contradict the world view the facts don't get through the screen they've put up to resist them.

wrestling executive linda mcmahon tied with chris murphy with the seat held by retiring senator joe lieberman. connecticut hasn't elected a republican to the senate in three decades and mitt romney is running well behind president obama there, why is this race so close? we're back with dan henninger, matt, and mary anastasia o'grady. you were there for the republican primary, why is she doing so well? >> she's a marketing specialist and manage today rebrand herself for the campaign. she lost terribly. >> 12 points. >> spent 50 million dollars and got nowhere. this time around she saw what her vulnerabilities were, people saw her as overly aggressive and a wrestling promoter and turning herself using ads into a grandmotherly-- >> and people out of the ring, is that it. >> pretty much. and she has a very controlled message and managed to go on-- >> what is she running on, what is her message? >> her message is fairly negative. on the positive side i was in business, i bring this experience. >> i'm an outsider, not part of congress. >> right. >> i can shake it up. >> exactly, the reason why she'

let's look at an endorsement from joe lieberman who is quite the hawk. what he said about you. this is joe lieberman, the independent who votes for the democrats but is very hawkish from connecticut endorsing this gentleman, bob kerrey. >> i served with bob here for years. he became one of my best friends, but it's not just out of friendship that i'm coming to help him. the senate needs bob kerrey because he's an independent thinker who always works across party lines to get things done. >> okay. senator, it's great to have you on, bob kerrey. want to see you back in the senate. good luck. >> thanks, chris. >>> up next, tonight is the al smith memorial foundation dinner in new york city. sharing the stage will be president obama and mitt romney for the first time since tuesday. what can we expect from the both of them tonight? something of a casual night, but these things can be very important. they're only going to be standing a few feet from each other for a long time tonight. this is "hardball," the place for politics. >>> got a couple of new polls in

in deville, this is the second time they hosted a presidential debate, they hosted cheney versus lieberman but you're right, there is a lot more pressure on joe biden to perform. and he is sort of walking this line. i talked to aides that say yes, he will be more aggressive than the question. that is a fact. but the question is, is he too aggressive? because we mentioned the generational gap, because a lot of the people view this as more as a visual. does this person look like he is ready to be president? and that is paul ryan's challenge, he is youthful, compared to joe biden. and he was not helped yesterday. mitt romney says he was not sure if paul ryan had had a debate, maybe back in high school. you don't want to bring up the phrase "high school" when you want to look presidential? >> all right, chuck todd, who will be part of our team during the live coverage of the debate tomorrow, 9 eastern time, 6:00 on the west coast here on this nbc station. >>> today, in washington, a lot of republicans in congress had a lot of questions about the obama mission, about the night in benghazi, when

you recall joe lieberman did a "can't we all get along?" as did jack kemp in 1996. >> woodruff: in three hours it gets under way and the two of you will be with us for the whole thing. mark shields and david brooks. online, we have more about danville, kentucky and how the tiny city has prepared to host its second vice presidential debate. plus, we kicked off our livestream coverage of tonight's debate a short time ago, and our online team is running a liveblog with sharp, robust analysis all night long. you can find that at newshour.pbs.org. >> brown: still to come on the "newshour": the syrian plane forced to land in turkey; how medicare is playing in congressional races; illegal trafficking in elephant tusks; the nobel prize for literature and one of poetry's leading voices. but first, the other news of the day. here's hari sreenivasan. >> sreenivasan: some new data on jobs offered signs of encouragement today. the labor department reported first-time claims for unemployment benefits fell to the lowest level in more than four years. that

it's currently on display at the harris lieberman gallery in new york city. it looks like you're standing inside the wooden box. >> he's doing the michael jackson move from "smooth criminal." well, my perception is off, beth. you were right. >> looks like he's walking up stairs, but he's on a flat surface. >> so is it slanted this way? >> let me show you the outer workings. the room is actually set up on different angles, but inside the room it looks like a regular room. >> i'm not a scientist, nor have i ever pretended to be one, but really, aren't we just looking at a floor that is sort of just slanted down and to the left and the room looks square? >> it all has to do with the way we perceive things. >> perception is always a play between information you're getting immediately from your senses and prior knowledge that you use to interpret that information. >> and watch this. at the end, this guy knows exactly what's going on. he tries to pour a glass of water. watch this. >> it would be tough to throw a cocktail party. all the drinks would be on the floor.

in fact, it led an editorial writer for the british study, his name is jeffrey lieberman, a researcher in the trial, and he said the claims of superiority were greatly exaggerated, of the new drug. the aggressive marketing of these drugs may have contributed to this enhance perception of effectiveness in the absence of information. so apparently they haven't done their test to show this new drug was an improvement over what existed. there is very little research in this country of com parityive effectiveness. and that is looking at a new drug, comparing it in what we call a head-to-head trial to see whether the drug offers an improvement. when the fda aproves a drug for marketing, a new drug, what the manufacturer has to establish is that the new drug is better than nothing. >> are we talking about wikperdol? >> that's one of the drugs. this is a whole category but that's the one in the study. if you found this is true, the newer drug will claim it's an improvement or suggested an improvement, plus the impact of the advertising programs and the solicitation of doctors from brands? i do

faced off against democratic congressman, chris murphy to fill the seat of retiring senator joe lieberman. this hour-long debate was hosted by the connecticut broadcasters association. >> moderator: welcome to the bottom of the hilton hotel in downtown hartford for this final debate of the u.s. senate campaign in connecticut between democratic congressman chris murphy and republican, linda mcmahon. this debate is sponsored by the connecticut broadcasters association. the reporters include al terzi, dennis tallis, keisha grant, nbc connecticut and mark davis or news eight. the rules for this debate are as follows. each report of ask a question of our candidates. each candidate will have two minutes to respond. there will then be an opportunity for a one minute rebuttal for both candidates. our reporters less questions and sequins. i want to see this necessary for clarification or to remind about time limits in a less questions if needed to pound out the hour. at that point, the format may be offered to allow each candidate equal but reduce time to answer the remaining time available. each

something bad happens between jews and jews the with the palestinian the israeli palestinian i mean when lieberman wants to make a complain against somebody who bash is the minority when. the party wants to progress itself it goes against the israeli arabs and there is a competition over let's limit them or who limits them limits then more. so i would say that in many many cases unfortunately the israeli palestinians are that little more space for. the quality and the quality of the israeli democracy and recently most of the tests coming out. what does the word zionism mean for me is there was a very interesting maybe even crucial movement in a concept that was actually the scaffolding. of the jewish structures it was a scuffle being newly erected by the end of the nineteenth century in order to transform or renew or rebuild the structure of from an existing structure into a sovereign one in forty eight the new structure is the building is built the inauguration was done we can remove the scaffolding we don't need it anymore i mean personally i'm a human being that's my family. my name is that i'm

. >> the two are vying for the seat now held by lieberman, an independent now retiring. >>> and then a drone shot down after it crossed into israeli territory over the weekend. nobody was injured in the incident. the unmanned plane was not carrying explosives and was not a surveyance drone. officials don't believe it originated from palestinian area. the immediate suspect is hezbollah, according to one report. >> and the focus domestically is now here, and the world is a volatile place, and the idea there still could be an attack, israel going against iran, and that could drag that region and this country into a war. all the pieces of the puzzle coming out, we need to pay attention because it could be krau schenn doughing into something that could be an event on a global scale. >> and the next debate will be on foreign policy. >>> we will now turn to the growing health threat from meningit meningitis. 27 new cases just in the passed two days bringing the number of cases to 90. and jeffrey russell is praying his mother will pull through. >> everything is going through the same thing a

totally forgot about that. >> oh play that all the time. >> stephanie: any time we play -- >> joe liebermanrate profits are at an all-time high so your boss is a douche. >> total douche. >> stephanie: and he is not going to know who you vote for. >> or he knows his company is going down because of mismanagement and he is looking for a scapegoat. >> stephanie: yeah he is just a jerk if -- >> something is going to happen to your health care. he's going to have an accident. the benefits might fall down a flight of stairs with a knife in its back. >> stephanie: is there a julie brown dot-com? >> yes there is. >> stephanie: the video of you playing victoria jackson is up it is hi-lairous. don't mess the big show tomorrow right. sexyliberal.com. i love you julie brown! >> i love you too! >> stephanie: we'll see you monday on the "stephanie miller show." ♪
