and she is a republican new york congressional candidate ann marie buerkle is back. christine o'donnellg to focus on delaware. good move? >> first of all sean, i've never seen such over-the-top vicious, vicious bitter, hate-fill attacks on a statewide candidate that i can remember at a national level. first of all, whatever you think of o'donnell's views, this is a woman who was given no chance to win. heavily out-spent. defeated a guy who won 12 statewide elections. it was a very impressive campaign. projected turn out was 30,000 votes they had element 60,000. you can't say it was because of a small turn-out. she clearly energized a lot of new people. i'm sick of the beating she has taken. they need to drop the billy clubs and let the people of delaware have their campaign. >> sean: mo, what would you advice your client? >> i would say stop doing national shows. stay in delaware. >> after sean. [ laughing ] >> ran paul had the same problem after he was nominated. >> sean: he said to heck with this. >> if you are running for a statewide office -- sean 90% of your time. >> that's what ou

mary ann, there is an obsession with christine o'donnell, an obsession by some on the right, some on media. it's incredible the amount of interest in this one gal. why? >> well, you know, you saw a similar trajectory with sharron angle as well. you knowness -- you know, when there are big upsets, you saw it up in alaska with miller unseating murkowski -- megyn: we haven't seen nothing like this with respect to joe miller. >> you're right. you saw it for a little bit, but here's the difference now. democrats never had a shot at alaska. they believed they didn't have a shot at delaware. now we're down to the end game, 43 days to go, and now here's a state back in play for the democrats they never thought they could have and could make all the difference. when yo look at christine -- you look at christine o'donnell on paper, on its face and the republicans that are equally upset, they know she could be the difference between them getting it which is why you've heard so many republicans doing the same thing. megyn: but to what extent is this, you know, to steal a phrase from maureen dowd

ann? >> all right. norah o'donnellis morning, thanks. >>> switching gears and talking about a random and horrifying attack when a young woman getting out of her car has acid thrown into her face. we'll learn what the victim has to say about her bsailant, who [ female announcer ] we know jerry brown was mayor of oakland, but what were the results? fact: brown promised to improve schools. but the drop out rate increased 50%, and the state had to take over the schools. fact: the city controller found employees paid for 22,000 hours... they never worked. fact: brown promised to cut crime. but murders doubled, making oakland the 4th most dangerous city in america. jerry brown. he just can't deliver the results california needs now. he just can't deliver the results navigating today's real estate market is complicated. you've seen the signs. that's why having the right real estate agent is more important than ever. at remax.com, you can find experts in short sales or bank-owned properties or commercial real estate, agents wh

ann richards must be secretly gay. flash forward to 2010 and christine o'donnell defeating mike castle, and rumors that he's secretly gay. >> i think that that's a very tacky approach. i never said that mike castle was gay. i don't endorse putting out rumors that mike castle is gay. >> are we talking about those rumors that mike castle is gay? who said that mike castle is gay? did you say that mike castle is gay? i didn't say that mike castle is gay? where might you have heard that mike castle is gay? gay. gay. have you heard that. and it's not just the same tactics being used in many cases, in many cases, it is the same exact people using the exact same tactics. >> when the world looks at america these days, all too often they see a moral swamp, a culture promoting sex and violence. no wonder our enemies think they can defeat us. this has been the equivalent of a cultural oil spill. it's not sea otters and ducks that are washing up on shore, covered with gunk, it is our kids. >> we have to have the courage to tell the truth and we have to have the courage to act on the truth. we are allowing a brutalization and a degra

christine o'donnell they say she is crazy, stupid, it's like a narrative that starts emerging. ann coulter had a piece saying no more criticizing sarah palin or christine o'donnell when you have wednesday day murphy out there saying osama bin laden is building daycare centers. fair? >> i think it's fair, yes. these women are also very beautiful. i think it's interesting that christine o'donnell is getting hit for not being married and not having children. all things you wouldn't get if you were a man or maybe a democrat. megyn: speaking of women in politics hold on one second. -rp we going to whitman now? we've got breaking news here out of california. this is gubinatorial candidate megyn who is eupl pwraeuld in -- eupl pwroeud in a scandal with her made. listen to what she says. >> as efficiently as you can, and then you can go home. with regard to mileage, she never asked us for mileage, you know, she ran a fewer rapbdz around menlo park, but she never asked us for my apblg. on her maternity leave she came to me and said i'm pregnant with my third child, and i have solved this pr

ann in new york. >>> lawrence o'donnell is the host of "last word" with lawrence o'donnell. five weeks before the midterm election, just how much trouble is the democrats in? >> this time in 1994 when we had the huge shift where the democrats lost the house and the senate, at this point in the process, no one knew that was going to happen. there were no polling indications that that would happen, no pundits predicted. the situation we're in right now according to the polling is the worst the democrats have ever been in. >> so with the news this morning in "the washington post" that the president's team is putting him on college campuses in a series of appearances to try to bring in those surge voters from 2008, would you characterize that as a hail mary pass? >> what it really is a move back to things that worked in the past. we have seen the president go into the town hall venue, didn't work so well, having people ask him questions, so now they're putting him back on stage in that celebrity mode. remember what obama's problem was? he was a celebrity, that's when he was the

ann coulter. we're going to hear from joe barton, whom we saw there. bill: tea party-backed candidate christine o'donnell is now responding to controversial comments from her past, real time host bill maher releasing video from his show in 1999 on hbo that shows a younger o'donnell who says she, create, dabbled in witchcraft, a senate inform knee responding to that comment sunday afternoon. >> that witchcraft comment on bill maher, i was in high school! how many of you didn't hang out with questionable folks in high school? but no, there's been no witchcraft since. if there was, karl rove would be a supporter now. bill: that was from sunday afternoon, and a moment from now we'll dig into the deeper controversy, fair and balanced on that in a matter of moments. you can get all these political developments headed into this heated midterm, right at your finger peups, download the america headquarters iphone app on our website, fox news.com or pick it up at the app store next time you're online or hey, right now. martha. martha: a wildfire tearing through utah, forcing thousands of people from their homes at

christine o'donnell was one of most frequent gets on "politically incorrect" people who don't remember it because they were too young or watching johnny carson. no, i guess gi jay was there. we created anne colter, laura ingraham. i could go on. >> how did you find her? >> we used to become -- i drank a lot in those days. we liked to book female conservatives, you can't not like her. she's such a nice person. we have a great clip that used to be in our highlight reel of ben affleck saying please, christine, shut up. because she would just go on. she was known back there as the girl from salt, saviors alliance for lifting the truth. and i guess that's still the shtick that she's playing. so part of me for sentimental reasons is rooting for christine o'donnell. the other part is rooting her because she's going to get her christian ass kicked in the general election. this is the great thing about the tea baggers and the republican party. a year ago, we were debating whether they were even republican, remember? they were very independent and a poll came out and we blew the lid off of it, oh, they're really republicans. and they're taking over that party. >> who should worry about them more,

o'donnell says she has stopped doing those interviews and so when she speaks, they listen, hairley. >>> thank you very much. joining us ann cowell tur and maria cardona. good morning. >> ann, let me start with you, this whole i went on the website this morning with the 20 different congressional seats she's trying target, the sort of pledge to america which sounded like a response to the tea party, and sarah palin yesterday. is she the detacto head of the republican party right now? >> she's very powerful. i mean, the same way we kept being asked is rush limbaugh the head, she has that sort of influence right now which is why i always find it kind of strange when people ask if she's going to run for president. i mean, i like what she said just there, kind of a threat to republican presidential candidates, you better be saying the right things or maybe i will get in. but, to give up what she has now and run for president would be like rush giving it up and running for president. she has more influence than a president does. >> is that really the truth, what that was yesterday in that interview with greta was listen to me,

thank you, and mary ann marsh, thanks as well, a lot to talk about, and we have been asking our viewers to weigh in all morning, should the republican party give christine o'donnellhance, 8500 people voted and overwhelming support for her and saying she should get the support of the republican party and mitch mcconnell says she has his support and take part in our survey, nonscientific, we say, foxnews.com/"america's newsroom," on-line right now. martha: a heated battle and a struggle within the party, within both parties, really and a big cycle for political outsiders and underdogs in the races, not just talking about christine o'donnell. look: incoumbent candidates lost primary bids in at least 8 seats, four were republicans, four democrats. sitting senators, sitting congressmen, upset, by relatively unknown candidates. that is the story here, folks. much of that due in part to the political movement that has swept the nation, known that's tea party. they claim senate primary victories in 8 states, so far. from delaware in the east to the final frontier, in alaska. with the murkowski race, a lot to be written on all of this, to come in the weeks, and the house,
