michael, you will be asked a question. >> chuck todd spoke with mary landrieu. one of the biggest story lines this election cycle has been the absence of president obama out on the campaign trail. on which she had this to say. >> to be very honest with you. in the south it's not always been the friendliest place for african-americans. it's been a difficult time for the president to present himself in a very positive light as a leader. it's not always been a good place for women to be able to present ourselves. it's more of a conservative place. so we've had to work a little bit harder on that. but, you know, the people trust me, i believe. really they do. they trust me to do the right thing for the state. >> you trust her judgment not to appear with the president in that state, mark? >> it was a smart political call. of course, created a lot of controversy there. a lot of republicans who jumped on mary landrieu's remarks about the african-american and their treatment in the south. and we've often seen when it comes to discussion of races people often get in the
