center brady actually voted against the bill that would have let new mothers stay in the hospital for more than 24 hours. he wanted to kick them out of the hospitals are like the insurance companies did after one day's stay. i have stood up for the public interest of my life. i understand the importance of jobs. that is why we held for the last eight months declining unemployment. we have a governor who wears carefully with business. that is how we got for it to come here at with 1200 -- how we got ford to come here with 1200 new jobs. >> follow-up? >> you did not say whether you would convene this kind of meeting and meet them in a mansion. bill in the light has 7000 units of government. -- illinois has 7000 units of government. what is your plan to systematically attach this over abundance of government in the interest of inefficiency and streamlining? >> i was the commissioner of the largest property tax appeal agency in this whole state. we gave property tax relief to thousands of homeowners, businesses, and farmers all over illinois. it is important to cut the units of government

illinois governor pat quinn, who is running against state senator bill brady, introduced the presidentthat this country has seen some tough times lately. people are hurting in a very real way. they are losing their jobs, their homes and their shot at the american dream. you would expect at a time of economic crisis, at a time when we should be working together to give a helping hand to these families, that the republicans might actually think about joining forces with our president and try to help get our nation back on the road to prosperity. unfortunately, tragically, all the republicans try to do is stop our president every time at every turn. when president obama tried to jump-start the economy with the largest middle class tax cuts in this country's history, the republicans said no. when president obama wanted to end tax breaks for companies that shipped jobs overseas, the republicans said no. when president obama cracked down on wall street's reckless and risky behavior, the republicans said no. not only do they not want president obama to succeed, they have shown a complete unwi

state senator bill brady. >> our state is struggling with difficulty with a cloud of corruption in front of us. there are two issues that are important. we've got to turn the page and provide a clean break from the secrecy of our government. governor quinn's administration has continued the secret release programs, secret pay raises, secret tax increases, a secret deal with the state's largest public sector union. when we negotiated a bypartisan agreement on how we were going to maximize the use of mccormack place, we find that governor quinn accepts a large contribution from one of the unions opposing it and vetoes the legislation. thank goodness we overrode that veto and within three weeks we signed $1 billion from sales from mccormack place, enhancing economic viability. we also have a state that is deep in deficit and debt. you can believe in governor quinn's tax, borrow and spend policies will work to prosperity. i don't think so. the successful states in the nation realize that taxing, borrowing and spending doesn't equal prosperity. i would redefine government without tax increase

national cable satellite corp. 2010] >> in other governors' races, illinois republican candidate bill bradley -- brady is the leading -- is leading the incumbent democrat governor pat quinn. it is reported to mr. craig -- mr. brady has 42% within the poll plus a margin of error. analysts say voters who support the third-party candidates do not care for the democratic incumbent, but cannot bring themselves to support the republican challenger. charlie cook says it is mathematically possible for republicans to gain enough seats in the senate to take control. republicans need to win 10 of the 11 competitive races. mr. cook says five of those races are too close to call. he says republicans are likely to fall asleep or two short of majority control in the senate. each night on c-span, we are shown debate from key races across the country. live at 7:00 p.m. eastern, the final televised debate between pennsylvania's u.s. senate candidates. at 8:00 p.m., a profile of indiana's ninth house district race, followed by the candidates debate, and live at 9:00 eastern, president obama is in nevada for a get-out-th
