the american people are an obstacle. >> i think we threaten the leadership of the democratic party andisceral way. i think they felt that stopping mcgovern might be best for the democratic party. >> they were in fear of their political lives, and they were in fear of what might happen if mcgovern won. >> if he was defeated, maybe the reforms that he brought about would be defeated also. >> the only way i made sense of this after the fact is it was a struggle for power. not much to do the issues, but a lot about who was one run the democratic party. >> he gives to the bird in says, "try to win without this." >> it shook the foundation of the united states. he had the anti-war movement, gay and lesbian rights movement, the women's movement. they're all making demands on american asking for a new kind of rearrangement for power and privilege and fairness and a seat at the table, but some people were completely horrified, especially about the lifestyle issue. it was bad enough that women wanted to be on top, they wanted to get on top of each other. clearly, america was falling apart. >> it

democrats and republicans the radical difference is between the base of the two parties the. republican party is almost all white the democratic party is mixed ninety five percent of the african-american vote is for obama seventy five percent of the latino vote is for obama and so and so i i think the two parties have a significant difference between them in terms of their constituencies and i just want to end by finally confirming your your comments whereby you think this storm we're seeing now could actually have an impact on the election and you feel that is right then to delay the election. nobody is talking about delay in the election now but it has a devastating impact for example. early voting in is is is being wiped out in these cities and states the voting of the elderly on the election day the voting of the poor on election day. the the voting of new yorkers on election day is likely to be diminished through no fault of their own. and that will affect the outcome of the election but at the same time as you well know it's extremely possible to manipulate the computers so if it's a close election it will be protested and contested as illegitimate for days and days and into the

wishful thinking if you look at the polls more and more of the american people republicans democrats greens and found it's just this party it doesn't matter they want to see our government cleaned up people understand that the public interest is being forfeited because those in congress and in the white house be tray the public interest every single day that they sell out public policy to those corporate him interests that are buying the election and paying. many millions of dollars to those lobbyists that have there been shows with congress and with the white house so that's why we don't have it was rocking of course this has been going on for you isn't it you were previously a democrat is that why you quit. that is in large part why i quit but also because people that are in the democratic party now the stand behind this president i think they've lost total sight of principle because this president is claiming the federal government has the power to imprison people without charges without trial without the right of he views corpus this is something that is so anti-american so subversive to our constitutional republic a

caller: why are the republican congress so disrespectful to the american people and the democratic partyif they represent us like that? that is ridiculous. we cannot have a president coming in like mitt romney. russia, other countries, they are really looking at this situation like it is a joke. host: what is your take on the senate race in massachusetts? guest: it seems like the lady -- caller: it seems like that lady really cares about people. host: all right. guest: this is another state where republicans have no business being competitive. scott brown won that special election in 2010 not -- in 2010. he it was very folksy and strong with independent voters. he has not been so much a republican as a scott brown republican. he is not talking about party support or even mentioning that dirty word, mitt romney. he is trying to focus on elizabeth warren and the deficiency in her character. elizabeth warren seems to have opened up a slight lead since the democratic convention, but it will go down to the wire. host: this is a scott brown campaign advertisement.

joining me now is dick, chairman of the south carolina democratic party, and tan den, president of the americanss. thank you both for being here. >> thank you. >> nira, today you cautioned obama supporters to stop freaking out. so where do you see things now moving forward? >> you know, i actually think that if you look at the numbers, even on gallup, the president took a hit to his numbers from the debate performance, no question about it, but it does seem like he's coming back. you said the president was five points up among registered voters today. that was up from yesterday. so i think the race is coming back to a predebate level. and what really doesn't make sense is for democrats to believe that this race is somehow over when we have four weeks and three debates left. >> dick, when you look at the president and how he's assessing things, let me show you what he said in an interview just released. watch this. >> no doubt that he made a good sales pitch. the problem is the product is not going to work. >> is it possible you handed him the election that night? >> no. >> you're going to win? >

the democratic party leadership has made it a point of pride. but i, as an american citizen, i don't make it a point of pride. >>tavis: i could spend hours in conversation with you about this because it is that important and it is it philosophical question. what does it say that president obama and governor romney don't really have -- his speech this week not withstanding, which is politics -- when it comes down to brass tacks, they do not have a huge distinction in foreign policy in terms of how they see the world and how they think mr. obama has done? what all that say to the dotard? we are about to have a couple more debates and an election were the two guys running from -- running for president are not that different on foreign policy. mr. obama has used more drones than george bush did. mr. obama has followed the same strategy that mr. bush did. how do we take that? >> i think it's as to things. number one is that there are far greater differences on many domestic issues than there are on foreign policy. and on both of those issues, even small differences matter

mcgovern was elected in 1962 and became the democratic party's nominee for president a decade later. >> american people want to believe in their government. they want to believe in their country. >> 'mechanical govern dropped his running mate when it was revealed the missouri senate received electroshock therapy for depression years earlier. they pushed for a withdrawal of vietnam. >> my son was then nine years old. she now 19. and faced with the draft. it never occurred to me when i started speaking out against the war it would some times catch my son ten years later. >> he says barack obama' election would be a victory for moderate liberalism. he said george was a statesman of great conscious and conviction. the mcgovern family says he continued giving speeches and advising past his 90th boyfriend. the family says services will be held in sioux falls, south dakota. >> heather: peter doocy, thanks, peter. >> gregg: violent protests erupting in the streets of lebanon, soldiers using tear gas to try to push back a mob. storming government headquarters in beirut. crowd enraged over a top official

and republicans have been trying to figure it out for years, african-americans have been a remarkably loyal group to the democratic partyd when you look at the minority vote there's a disparity that exists in terms of whites and how minorities vote. >> but obama's current 21-point deficit with the white vote, steve, will that be hard for him to overcome? >> it makes for a close race, but david is absolutely right. if you look where white voters are relative to democratic candidates for president the white voters are pretty much in line with john kerry or mike due ka kiss and others. and mike brownstein has an interesting article that he's written recently that basically suggests north for mitt romney to be successful he'll have to win whites by about 29 points about the same margin that ronald reagan carried whites by in 1984. obviously, you know, where the white vote goes is going to determine how close this race is and maybe ultimately who the winner is but barack obama has real advantages among real large constituencies as well. >> would you agree with that analysis, it has to be 29 points for romney, david? >> i don

possibly in the democratic party in terms of foreign policy and other issues where you're going to have these issues emerging in a much more forcible way in the future that many americans year and for more political choice may not realize they do have other options largely abandoned from mainstream media third parties have a hard time being seen or heard. new york resident the way how often is found out many are oblivious to the fact that they exist at all. this week third party candidates for the u.s. presidency held a debate do americans even know that this week let's talk about that did you watch the third party debate. do you think did best. obama do best no that's not the third party debate who do you think did a good job in the third party debate i think think the parag obama did a little bit better job than mitt romney i know that's a third party debate that was the main candidates that day but the third parties are we have actual other candidates that are running did you know that no i didn't there's jill stein she's the the green party there's gary johnson libertarian and none of these names ring a bell and i think it's unfortunate that americans don't know th
