halpern works. where are they going to fund it. it states the nclb tutoring money and we went into waiver to free that money. we got about $700,000 freed up by going into core waiver and now you are spending 13 percent of that money plowed back into same consultantcy to pay for the core waiver. is this just the beginning of feeding this alternate bureaucratic structure. do you have other payments that are going to be called for? what exactly is it that we are entering into? what will we get out of this expenditure and how much more are we on the hook for. thank you. >> any comments? >> it's up to the commissioners we are happy to highlight some of the information shared in advance. we have staff here who can provide an overview of some of the school designations, what these categories mean, which schools does that involve and this contract in particular is to facilitate the communities at practice or the school pairings where if we can certainly talk about some of the activities that are starting to commence in that regard we have

mark halpern? >> senator, mark halpern here.ansas and louisiana or north carolina, could you invite the president and campaign side-by-side with him? >> probably not. i mean, i try to be candid and honest on this show. new york, the president's numbers are not strong in my state or in arkansas or louisiana or north carolina. he did not win those states when he ran for re-election in 2012. but that doesn't mean that you can't win. these candidates in those states are strong candidates. they have been an independent voice for their states. they know how to stay on offense and talk about the republican shutting down the government. and the republicans marginalizing great hard working people who come to this country wanting nothing more than be a part of the american dream. so i don't -- i think this issue of whether or not you have obama come to your state is something we like to focus on in washington. but probably is not that important when you get out to these states. >> senator mccaskill, obviously, you're aware of the delay in

. >> mark halpern sees one possible explanation. >> this latest delay is really going to set people off more than the others simply because it involves delay past the election. past the election, and that screams of politics without an alternative explanation. >> so mixed messages from the white house, greg. last week, we sat around this table and talked about how obamacare would liberate people from job lock, from the jobs that were terrible and they can go be artists and be free now, and this week, they want them to stay in their jobs, so they extend the mandate yet again for purely political reasons, i'm guessing? >> when you lost your health plan, they said they were liberating you from a bad health plan. when you lose your job, they say they're liberating you from a job you don't like. you have to wonder, what will they liberate from you next. will they liberate you from your home? will they liberate you from your life? euthanasia makes life easier for an eternity. you no longer have to breathe. that's the nature of socialism. they tell you what you want. this is the 27th delay. it

you know, mark halpern has talked for years about the invisible primary.cern here is hillary clinton's operation is all too visible. this is a story on the front page of "wall street journal" reflects the conversations that we are having around washington. democrats have three big fears. one, as you mentioned, the money will be going to ready for hillary and other hillary clinton operations, including the super pact priorities usa instead of to the midterm candidates. two, you choke off other potential strong candidates. just yesterday, there was a story on the front page of the "the washington post" making clear that martin o'malley wants to run, hillary or no hillary. third there is word she won't be strong having come through a tough primary. things people are doing to try to deal with this, priorities usa is talking to some of their biggest donors, hold off and write your biggest checks after the midterms and after november 2014. that is the way to try to tamp down some of this concern. >> politico's mike allen, thank you very much. happy monday. >> ha
