manager for governor mike huckabee's campaign, chip saltzman, and advise soar to pennsylvania senator bob casey, donna o'donnell. donna to you first. the attorney general insists that he did everything he could to quash this fast and furious program once he found out about it. that it was bad policy. it shouldn't have happened and that he took care of it. if that is the case, if he did everything by the book, why not just release the documents? >> well, i think that probably there are a number of reasons not to and i'm loathe to speculate on what those reasons might be but what i was so struck by, i did watch the proceedings that were chaired by darrell issa and i was stunned by the tone and tenor of that inquiry. chairman issa was repeatedly requested by his colleagues on the committee to permit the attorney general to answer the questions. the questions turned out to be speeches in which chairman issa articulated very high rhetoric and it was highly inflammatory and clearly not seeking answers. so i think, i think i would begin with, what really was the purpose of those hearings that resulted

guest: bob casey in pennsylvania in 1986. it was the first one that i won , and i have so many relationships there, and we were not supposed to win. he lost three times before. you always remember the first one. host: why did he win? guest: i think he probably related to middle-class people better. both were from scranton. young bill scranton was the challenger william scranton who challenged barry goldwater for the nomination. casey was a democrat who have lost three times before. he was conservative. he was pro-live, but fairly liberal on economic issues, if you will, but there was a cultural clash in the campaign to some extent that we identified. what we did is we ran center part of the state, branching out what a democrat needs not to get slaughtered. i referred it to the western most suburb of philadelphia to the eastern suburb of the. , it is alabama without -- of pittsburgh, it is alabama without white people. we did better in alabama than a democrat normally does. host: stan greenberg, your favorite campaign? guest:

and just locally, or in a statewide race in 2006, when bob casey defeated rick santorum by 18 points,was outspent by senator santorum by $7 million in the state, so you need enough money, but i think before it's over, the president will be spending probably more money than the romney campaign in this state. >> host: our next caller from big bear, california, newton is on the phone, the republican line. thank you for waiting, good morning. >> caller: thank you for taking my call, welcome to the c-span death chair. >> thank you. >> like. >> caller: like i was telling my wife, the sunrises in the east and sets in the west. sure enough, it does, just like california is in a solid blue state, and throughout the union, we have red and blue deep colors. but i feel, being a california resident, i've seen the numbers shift due to our state economy. i mean, you're looking at the blue getting dark blue to real light blue and people shifting more moderate, center, and you know, with 9 percent unemployment, you know, harry reid in nevada at 20 percent, you know, you're going to find a lot of these

they probably wouldn't have gotten the votes of jim webb of virginia, ben nelson, maybe not even bob caseyit would have passed. remember, as it is, it only passed by one vote. so given that fact, you wonder whether the law as passed now called a tax, was actually kind of fraudulently passed. and everybody is trying to shift the ground here when they're asked, well s a tax or not? well, it doesn't matter whether it's a tax or not, david axelrod said. well, i guess it's now declared constitutional by the court, but for future precedent, which as a former clerk myself, i'm concerned about. i think it really does matter whether the court after the pack can rewrite a statute in order to uphold it as anthony kennedy said in the dissent. i believe you shouldn't able to do that. >> brian: governor romney's senior advisor yesterday said he believes that the governor believes it's a penalty, not a tax. totally different than the republicans were saying, the republican leaders were saying over the weekend. >> yeah, well, what i think is that as a legal matter, i think romney is right. i think they ha

but beyond that campaign in which you played a key role, was there another one -- guest: probably bob casey in pennsylvania in 1986. host: why? >> guest: it was the first one that i won and have so many kind of relationships there, and we weren't supposed to win, he lost three times before, and it was, i don't know -- your first one, you know, you always remember the first one. host: why did he win? he is of course the father of -- guest: i think he probably related to middle class people. i think there was a pretty good -- both were from scranton. young bill scranton was the son of william scranton who challenged goldwater for the nomination in 1964. casey was a democrat that had lost three times before. he was conservative, he was pro life, but he had -- he was also fairly liberal on economic issues, if you will. but there was a sort of cultural clash in that campaign to some extent. we identified -- what we did is the way we won, we won a little bit -- we had a t, sort of the center part of the state, it branches out, where a democrats needs to not get slaughtered. you never want a democ
