i think cory booker's success evidences that.re have been other occasions when persons have tried it and harold ford tried it in tennessee. he didn't quite make it. and there will be others who will follow that lead, and they will be doing something other than insider politics. the political parties, however, must embrace the concept in order for that person to win. >> and congressman butterfield, maybe you can elaborate on that point. the political parties must embrace the concept. how far along do you think the democratic party is -- how far along do you think the republican parties are in embracing that concept? >> well, certainly, democratic party is the party of choice for african-americans. african-americans are not blindly loyal to the democratic party. we support the democratic party because the democratic party has a progressive agenda. but talking about the 1965 voting rights act, that law was enacted, first of all, because of the literacy test. and once we got rid of the literacy test, and african-americans began to re

as previously stated, booker t. washington described as an accommodationist to some and an uncle tom, he was one of the first african-americans invited to the white house to have a meal with a sitting president. to understand the connection between wallace and the black community, wallace was very supportive of trade schools, community college. so there's a link there between wallace and the black community even as early as his legislative career. although these positions were not avertly in support of the black agenda, they were indirectly supportive of improving black life in america, similar to the new deal and frederick -- roosevelt, sorry. later during his time in office, he actually supported governor jim folsom, who was pretty liberal. governor folsom was supportive of poor people, whether they were plaque or white. and george wallace also supported jim folsom. though he didn't come out and support -- what am i trying to say -- although he didn't support directly in franchising the black community he did supp

let me particularly thank senator booker. this has been an extraordinary first full hearing for you to -- >> you always remember your first. >> yes, and you will remember this one. >> and it has been an extraordinary privilege to be here with you and senator johnson, thank you for participating all the way to the end. i started this morning by saying -- and i knew this hearing would be full of a lot of strong opinions, but i started this morning by saying as mark twain said that a can go halfway around the world before truth gets out of bed and puts the boots on in the morning. this hearing was held to get the truth out about the benefits of the affordable care act to small business and the challenges that are presented to us. as americans, i think if we work together, [inaudible conversations] >> a couple of live events to tell you about today. the "national journal" hosted a discussion on fiscal policy and the financial system. that's at 8:30 a.m. eastern. at 12:15 p.m. eastern a look at the health care and insurance market

because he knew he could not -- it would not be a good thing for him to be on a ballot with cory booker has been able to emphasize part of his conservatism to the relevant conservatives in new jersey, and sort of deemphasize that with the democrats and moderates he needs to pull in. he's very adept at being able to do that. but again, in the context of a presidential campaign, it's harder thi than you might think. >> steve, i was looking earlier and pulled out some of the numbers. christie beat jon corzine in 2009, 48.7 to 44 points. 45 to 49. really not a blowout, right? but barack obama won new jersey 58-40.9. i get the sense that chris christie isn't -- hasn't really been tested against' a strong democrat. barba barba barbara buono is not exactly a strongim democrat. he is an untested commodity with a full democratic base on the table against a strong opponent. >> yeah, i would say, although to put it in context, that four-point victory he had in -- the second highest margin of victory for any republican statewide in new jersey in nearly 40 years. so the fact he did that was somewhat

vice president joe biden swearing in booker. jersey democrat becomes the second african-american the other is tim scott. senator booker is serving out the rest of the term of the late senator frank lautenberg and now to utah and the murder trial of dr. martin mcneil. is he accused of drugging and drowning his wife in the bathtub. defense says she died of heart disease. medical examiner taking the standed to grey testifying that michelle macneill may have died with drug toxicity combined with heart disease. he is not saying she drowned but it is possible. denying a town's attempt to shut down a hot sauce factory. the town wanted the factory to stop production since saying it was emitting stinky fumes pepper and garlic. the drug rejected that request. the hot sauce company says it is working with the city to reduce the smell. finally sponge bob sponge bob square pans spng bob get the act? so his boss can save the whole nickel that's tonight's speed read. now, brace yourself for this one. the agency that is implementing obama care

and he spent another $25 million to make sure that cory booker wasn't even in the state when he did his re-election. that's really great for padding your margin of victory and making the really desperate republican establishment feel like you might be the guy to save them from the tea party. so up to now he's done everything right in terms of getting establishment support. the problem is the base of the republican party is really sick of the establishment of their own party, and they really don't like the guy who seems to be teacher's pet, and right now chris christie is teacher's pet and media's pet. >> he is. david, we know rand paul called christie the "m" word, a moderate, but salon posted a piece on its website, dear everyone, chris christie is conservative. he vetoed a minimum wage hike. he vetoed legislation designed to eliminate the gender wage gap. he killed a new jersey version of the dream act and cut funding for women's health services, including eliminating funding for planned parenthood. david, this isn't christie the moderate as opposed to cuccinelli the extremist. this i

the order of attendance is senator booker next and he so know you can tell by his sign language. cory brought his own as a former mayor. senator menendez you were not supposed to say that. we will have to learn that process but we thank you for being here and i will start with you and then go to senator menendez and then senator gillibrand. >> thank you drilling this important hearing. i appreciate the opportunity to participate. this is clearly my first hearing as a senator and it could not be on on the more important issue to the people of my state. i would also like to thank those testifying including a longtime friend of mine secretary shaun donovan and i look forward to working with him now to the benefit of our state. i look forward to hearing what he has to say as well as those others testifying today especially mr. fugate. we will be meeting later on this week to discuss the issues and i appreciate him making time to do that. in the aftermath of hurricane sandy many the people in this room played such critical roles holding multiple hearings in advocating for a robust fed

. >> i think you can blame cory booker for that. this was the race he was supposed to run. he panicked. i think he was afraid that he might not beat christie, and he went for the low-hanging fruit in the form of the senate seat. you know, forcing lautenberg into retirement and when lautenberg died, it was his for the taking. i think after that, people had real doubts. democrats in new jersey had real doubts about whether booker, who would have been their strongest possible candidate, could have beat christie. without him, they didn't even feel like running. >> in a very politically shrewd move, christie made sure he was not on the same ballot as cory booker, even if he was running for a different seat. last question in terms of money. i mean, terry mcauliffe, $32.8 million spent on that race. ken cuccinelli spent $19.1 million. a lot of money. chris christie in the new jersey election, there was twice the amount of money spent. a lot of it was on down ballot races. i think that's evidence that the state level, the municipal level, this is where all the action is going to be

looked if cory booker had decided to run against chris christie rather than barbara buono. she's a nonentity in that state. >> i'll belt you shaquille o'neal would not have cut an ad for chris christie if cory booker -- >> i think that's exactly right. >> let's switch to virginia quickly. a letter mailed out yesterday from hillary clinton writing to people in virginia base he canally saying the state elected barack obama to a second term so our economic recovery could keep moving forward and americans would continue to lead the world. you have a chance to keep virginia moving forward by getting out and voting for terry. where there was not the big star power supporting barbara buono in new jersey, all of the stops had come out for terry mcauliffe in the democratic party. >> absolutely. everyone was there. even the first lady cut an ad for terry mcauliffe. they are very much looking at the african-american vote there. that's a state that's about 14, 15% african-americans so they are going to try to pull out that obama coalition. again, i think you have a situation here with

. >> and cory booker is elected senator for life, too. so you have a federal power coming out of new jersey, christie had separate election days for him and cory booker. it's a great example. i did read about how eisenhower, who was looking better all the time, would deal with people like johnson and sam rayburn. you know, we got to find a way of making government active again and doing stuff. and maybe we'll get an immigration bill. i'm not that hopeful. i think it's very hard with the attitude of the tea party people in different parts of the country to get anything done. you said something so smart. christie is known for physical contact with the president. we think of him not hugging or anything, they're not a bromance material here. but they've been seen together. then you have these terrible cases of somebody in south carolina saying, i was ten feet from the president and it made me sick. or i told him to his face, you lie. there's a physical rejection of him as an african-american. whereas christie hugs the guy. it sounds so primit

none other than booker t. washington is classic autobiography from slavery remember someone that were closed from the day of freedom came to southwestern virginia. the union officers pleaded reading of the emancipation proclamation at the april surrender had brought the long-awaited moment of deliverance. interviews connect in the 20th century with african-americans who had been slaves in virginia echoes such published reminiscences. danny berry remembers slaves in tamblyn, virginia burst into spontaneous song when they learned the head gabe with the wi-fi fret that moment she knew they were free. as news of the surrender travel through the south, slaves far away from the events at appomattox six is grants final tribe as the end of their enslavement. for example, james h. johnson of south carolina lamented after president lincoln's freedom proclamation in 1863, the status quo kept unread if it had. there's a limit generally surrendered in his interview that we learned we were free. for some former slaves to da

booker's namecory would have been first and more democrats would have come out. it was never a question of whether chris christie would win, but the news is the landslide he won by and it sounds like he was very concerned about not winning my that landslide. >> this is a false premise on so many levels. chris christie forged relationships with south jersey democrats. the end result was he did everything he could to manufacture a headline. something that i write about a lot. our national media is like a dog with a bone. is that two weeks ago in new jersey, chris christie had a 33 point lead. the much neglected democratic candidate there at the close of the race actually came up somewhat. not trying to paint a fantasy picture, but the same time democrats have construed -- have control of the state legislature and the minimum wage increase to chris christie vetoed one by the same percentage of the vote that he won by. new jersey is style over substance. the substantive result is that they voted against what chris christie stands for in all the other races. i would s

he obviously did campaign with cory booker.ory booker, who was running in the special election for senate, but you're absolutely right that president obama and other democrats have not spent any time with barbara buono. the party made the decision months ago that this was a race not winnable for them, so they didn't think it was worth the investment. >> just sort of gave up on that whole race in new jersey. a clear ride for chris christie. thanks very much for that. we're going to stay in close touch throughout the day and into the evening. >>> other news, a stunning admission from the mayor of toronto today. >> do you smoke crack-cocaine? >> yes, i have smoked crack-cocaine, but no -- have i tried it, probably in one of my drunken stupors about a year ago. i answered your question, you ask properly, i'll answer. >> wow. pretty blunt answer indeed from the mayor of toronto. he add milted to that group of reporters that he has in fact smoked crack-cocaine. he says in a drunken stupor, if you will. over the weekend, the mayor off

so as i say lonigan was closing in on booker. a lot was coming out we didn't know.onigan did incredibly well in new jersey. if it was held at the same time that chris christie is winning this massive victory, i think he would have won. in addition that how about chris christie spreading the wealth, going down and spending a day campaigning for ken cuccinelli. as we saw with chris christie's convention speech it's all about chris christie. that was the most disappointing keynote convention speech of my life. i flew into tampa just to see chris christie. he's bright, charismatic. we expected the street fighter. he has a lot of good things going for him. >> he's got problems. wait until they dig into the appointments. he can go campaign for lindsey graham all he wants but he seems to be at war against conservative tea party members. do you not see that? >> i do. it's not just the establishment. mott just the tea party. not just egos. it's all of these things. republicans need to focus on winning. i commend you for continuing to bring up the red state democrats who vote
