. >> listen, we have george wallace in 1968 won the youth vote. they go to the extremes. >> they are social liberals also. they have tolerant views about marriage and gay people and pot, everything. >> it is culture. >>> hook-up culture. >>> okay retirees age 65 and older. obama 44%, romney 55%. what about that? do you want to speak to that? >> as a retirement age person, no, you know, older folks are more, i'm afraid so. i have got my medicare card john. older voters, of course more conservative in regard to the social change. i think the whole idea of a guy named barack obama, with an african background in his family being president. >> get a little bit more race in 40%,40%, romney 58%. black americans, obama 93%, romney 6%. hispanic americans, obama 69%, romney 29%. asian americans, hold on on obama 74%, romney 25%. question. where did president obama pick up such exhaustive ethnic support? >> most important i think is the hispanic support. when you consider if romney had gotten the hispanic turnout george w. bush had eight years earlier, he wo

they have to deal with the george wallaces of the republican party. >> charles? >> and the demographics, the idea of republicans being white, i think, is wrong. it is true they have problems with african-americans, single women, and young people. those tend to be liberal. with hispanics that are naturally more conseativ ligious, a catholic, it requires a change in policy on immigration. it can be done in one stroke. once it is done, we will not be speaking about the demographic issue. we will be talking about ideological issues. >> all right. let's talk about the new congress. >> i would not have been able to do this without your unbelievable support. you, my friends, stood with me when others tried to buy this election. >> that is tammy duckworth. she defeated joe walsh, the tea party favorite. women did very well. elizabeth warren, claire mccaskill, and so forth. >> 20 women in the senate now, and what is interesting is the republican number goes up from five to four. the democratic number comes up to 16, which i think does reflect the larger problems in the co

here's a woman from travel log who is able to see that her clients are having nightmares about george wallace while staying at their motels and she's able to see that people are suffering from nightmares because of the state of the economy and the state of our money she says so here's a central banker who is one of the targets he's the next in line behind george osborne people and he's trying to say it's irrational fears like the german population are children and babies and should. you know be patted on the back by mommy and told that all is ok or gold is fine but he then goes on to say you can be assured that we are confident that our gold is in safe hands with with you and he's referring he's actually talking to the head of the new york federal reserve bank here he's saying we're we're confident and safe with you and then he goes the days in which hollywood germans such as garrett for obama better known as goldfinger and east german terrorist simon gruber masterminded gold heist in u.s. vaults are long gone nobody can seriously imagine scenarios like these which are reminiscent of a james

the south is so wonderfully complicated and surprising, and george wallace game comfortable with african-americansot better, but it needed backbone at this moment. >> and ross barnett was a southern democrat. >> that's right. >> let's listen to this from september 22, 1962. >> now, the difficulty is we got two or three problems. in the first place, what can we do to -- in the first place, it's the court's order to you, which is i guess you're given until tuesday. what is your feeling on that? what's your position? >> well, i'll have to think it over. >> all right. well, let me say this -- >> you know what i'm up against, mr. president. i took an oath to abide by the laws of this state and our constitution here and the constitution of the united states. i'm on the spot here, you know. i've taken an oath to do that. and you know what our laws are. >> yes, i understand that. now we have a -- >> we have a statute that was enacted a couple of weeks ago stating that no one who had been convicted of a crime or with a criminal action against him would not be eligible. and that's our law and it seems like

george wallace used to say there wasn't a dime's worth of different twens the republicans and democratsthink he would be saying that today. let me go to gene on that point. your health issue. it seems the most historic thing that president obama has done has been obama care. >> yeah. >> getting the 45 million people or whatever at least the chance to get a self-reliant health care policy and not to depend on the emergency room anymore. your thoughts? >> exactly. i think that's the most important, the most historic thing he's done, and what was really historic about it was establishing the idea, the idea that there ought to be universal health care and taking this giant step toward it. for that to be imperilled, of course, you haven't heard much from mitt romney about that the last couple weeks, but before hand, day one i'm going to start to dismantle obama care which, by the way, i invented but don't pay any attention to that. i think that is something that is hugely at stake in this election and it would be a huge step backward. >> is it fair, john, to say the republicans voting for mi

this came after the election between your humphrey and george wallace. -- hubert humphrey. host: this is joe in massachusetts. caller: good morning. was not the supreme court theyture iwhen intervene in the 2000 election? guest: not my area of expertise. caller: my thought about the 2000 election was set the rules were already in place. if there was a disagreement, the vote will have gone to the house. my comment would be, is it not possible the house could pick mitt romney and the senate could make obama the vice president? guest: if the vote for president went to the house, i would presume the majority of delegations would be republican and they would vote for mitt romney. the senate would pick the vice president. they would select among the candidates with the most electoral votes for vice president. i don't think the senate would vote for obama as vice president. host: we have a question on twitter. guest: i think that is a fair statement. they envisioned these electors as learned citizens, respected in their communities. i think they felt the average voter was nothista

george wallace came in second place, and back in 1964 when texas residents swron son ran for presidentoldwater. they have voted for democrats before. it's certainly not this time or four year ago. >> so you talked to a lot of the people, and they don't really seem to be looking forward in temz of giving him another shot. is that your sense of talking to these folks that they're simply resigned or resentful in. >> i guess the best thing is these are nice hard-working people that live in king county, texas, but they're not giving any ground it comes to barack obama. we don't like him, but we'll see. this time there didn't seem to be any flexibility at all. snoo talk a bit about some of the communities. i know philadelphia and some other areas where it went overwhelmingly for obama. it was a completely different story. >> this is interesting. even in king county people say why are you here doing this story. doing a story in philadelphia barack obama and some precincts got 100% of the vote. it's true. in some inner city precincts in cleveland too he got 100% of the vote. there were mostly

the electors had selected george wallace.uld be susceptible to pressure. and there was a move to get rid of the electoral college and go to a popular vote. it did not get passed the senate. if there was a tie, i'm sure you'd have some lobbying of the selectors to change their vote. in some states, but not all states, there are laws that require or at least push the electors to vote for the presidential candidates for whom they originally supported. but it is not really clear whether those laws are constitutional. host: what if they become split as far as the electors are concerned? guest: suppose maryland, a safely democratic state, votes for barack obama. in voting for barack obama, those voters are selecting a slate of directors pledged to barack obama. so there would not be any split when they actually meet in the state capital. host: dan on the independent line. caller: i will be voting today, but i think i will be voting the way i have never voted in the past. that is with no confidence. it is no confidence in our nation

that came after the election between richard nixon, hubert humphrey, and george wallace. host: here is statesboro, georgia. go ahead. i'm sorry, wrong button. joe in massachusetts. independent line. caller: my question is, was not the preen -- the supreme court premature when it made its decision in the 2000 election? guest: that is not my area of expertise, so i'm afraid i cannot help you there. host: character as bigger question about the electoral college? caller: i thought the rules already in place, that if there was a disagreement, that the votes would have gone to the house anyway. about the supreme court intervening. my comment is, is it not possible that the house could pick romney and the senate could make obama the president? >> if the vote for president went to the house of representatives, we have presumed the majority of delegations the republican would vote for mitt romney. the senate would pick the vice- president, but they would have to select among the candidates with the most electoral votes for vice president. i could be wrong, but i do not think the s

your generation and is something to be on the right side of and not on the side that looks like george wallace. it is still a very intense issue, and there are people that disagree with one another on this issue. we are still going to see state popular initiatives. most states have constitutional amendment barring same-sex marriage, those would have to be revoked either by a new voter initiative or by some kind of federal constitutional litigation. obviously, california is the primary example of that. california in 2008, i talk about this at greater length in my article. it requires marriage equality in the state of california as something like 18,000 marriage licenses were issued. between july of 2008 and november 2008, the latter date when proposition 8 was voted in by the people of the state of california to amend the constitution to override the court. the court interpreted as not qualified for the marriage licenses that have already been given out. there would be two ways of responding to proposition 8 aside from acquiescence which is not a possibility. the more logical one would be to go

here to my left the insiders, matthew dowd, nicolle wallace, donna brazile, george will and barbara waltersrns one way, what it might mean four years from now. to the right of our set we also have our insiders' desk. remember, there are many key house and senate races still to be decided and they will be parsed and synthesized, as well. the banks of seats, we have our analysis desk and ballot watch team. the analysis desk is really the first point of entry for the raw information, the exit poll numbers that will become the real numbers that you will see and then you see the ballot watch team led by pierre thomas looking for any irregularities at voting and polling stations around the country and that flows to our twin pillars of rome as george and diane will then bring it to you and as you can see here technology will play a part, the information will spring from the floor. this huge l.e.d. screen, in fact, george with a touch screen in front of him has the ability to tell us when a state turns and maybe why it did. county by county parsing it for you as best as we can. obviously technology

you can go back to 1968 and george wallace and his american independent party. and the fact of the matter is, richard nixon, once elected, adopted-- i remember-- the nixon southern strategy. it was designed, as much as anything else, to coopt to bring the southern democrats, conservatives, into the republican party. if not formally, then in practical terms. and, indeed, the nixon landed slide in 1972 was built very largely around the success of that strategy. independents and third-party candidates do best when they have a cause. >> that's right. >> to arouse passion. enough passion to draw people away from their conventional political loyalties. and it's a curious thing. in some ways, you would have thought this year with the concern people are voicing about the deficit, about the course of the economy, you would have thought that there was a political climate that might be conducive to a third party. >> ifill: that's something mark actually alluded to earlier, michael. and i'm really curious about that as well. are we just more in love with the idea of an inde

george w. bush is the most unpopular second-term president in the post-war era following him into the presidency is for barack obama, the gift that keeps on giving. >> nicolle wallace, you've worked for george w. bush. you saw one thing, one dynamic in the entire campaign is mitt romney did not want to be tethered to the economic policies of george w. bush and, of course, president bush did not come to the convention. >> right, you know, he really was an invisible figure and republicans i think made a bet -- certainly in 2010 it worked against barack obama to still be blaming george w. bush who would appear based on the things we're looking at tonight that voters were restricted to that message and still willing to hold president bush responsible and that's surprising. >> we have a pro-jikz in the state in which president obama said this is the state that gave me a chance when no one else, we have a projected winner in iowa and it is president barack obama, george. >> this is a big win. president obama's fire wall in the midwest, iowa, wisconsin and ohio, he has now won two out of three. he's won iowa. he's won wisconsin. he ends the campaign where he began more th

the scientific community's best ally, wallace spoke out strongly against the building up of falls racial theories in rebuke of the hitler policies in germany. >> georgearver, born into slavery, not a chemist specializing in bosnia, first introduced me to the mysteries of plant fertilization. spent a good many years breeding corn because the scientist deepen my appreciation of plants in a way i could never forget. superior ability is not exclusive possession of any one race or any one class, provided and are given the right opportunity. >> democratic party bosses mistrust his devotion to principle over politics. it looked like the wallace nomination would go up in flames when roosevelt, angry and frustrated, wrote a remarkable letter to the delegates in which he flatly turned down the presidential nomination. >> the democratic party has failed when it has fallen to the control of those who think in terms of dollars instead of human values. until the democratic party shakes off all the shackles of control fasten upon by the forces of conservatism, reaction and appeasement, it will not continue its march to victory. the party cannot face in both directi

george? >> thanks, jon. >>> we turn to nicolle wallace. top adviser to the mccain and bush campaigns. you see some of the lashing out. >> for the love of god, leave chris christie alone. he's our best hope. you know, geez. >> some people looking at the romney campaign, saying they blew it. but you argue that the problems are much deeper than that. >> republicans either have to look at the map and say, we saw plenty of red, keep doing the same thing. or they have to decide they want to win national elections. if you want to win national elections, you know, you have to change everything. you have to decide we want to and we can compete everywhere. and you should be able to compete everywhere, with a message of economic opportunity. but you can't simply pass on the debates about all of the social issues. >> not only everywhere, but with everyone. i saw al cardenas, the head of the conservative union say, the party's too old, too white, too male. >> i love chairman al. and he's absolutely right. when you simply concede women, it's most puzzling at all. we're not a minority. we're not a s
