i spent a week trying to get people like barney frank and ru russ feingold.ave a serious debate, argument about foreign policy, national security, which i think is very important. should not be put aside simply on behalf of all the economic issues, entitlement reform, obama care and everything else. i think the ajc poll shows romney doing better among jewish voters than mccain. obama beat mccain in the era of hope and change. 3 1/2 years ago. 72-28 among jewish voters if you allocate undecideds, in the ajc poll it looks like 68-32, 69-31 split among jews this time. if romney can do much better among the country as he looks like he will do among jewish voters he will beat president obama which i think will be a good thing for the country. >> barney. you will have extra time. >> thank you. let me acknowledge the -- the rueful compliment that bill paid me, regretting that i wasn't dumb enough to challenge the p it is only, my refusal to run against the president that would endanger the chances of the public policy i want being accepted. i guess that is just one

who bet ere to talk about this than congressman barney frank.e been there long enough to see changes made, to you accept this is true? >> absolutely. this is not a 50/50 deal. democrats have gotten more partisan and tougher in response, but this is the year of newt beginnigingrich's great failure. it was also a great triumph. he came to congress in 78 and was angered shortly after. he did not like bob michael, the midwestern conservative. newt gingrich said we will never take power as long as this is scene as a debate between decent people who disagree on economics and disagree on the environment and who disagree on health care policy. he said let's be very clear, and he put out things saying this, worksheets and instruction manuals. the democrats are corrupt and et cetera. and he worked that and worked that. what we're now seeing is the ultimate triumph of that. american politics always had tw factions. one that wanted somewhat more government, one that wanted somewhat less government. he understood the legitimacy of the other. there were no de
