brown goes to washington. guest: the real question is, now that they have arrived, what can they accomplish? what we hear from voters time and again it is what can they do? how will you work together to get these things done, on drums, the economy, health care, -- jobs, the economy, health care, global warming? host: next phone call. caller: i could not believe with senator kennedy being sick, the democrat party did not look forward and see the position they were in. this is a senator who championed a lot of wonderful things for the people. i feel as if republicans got on top of this right away. they did a great job getting the word out. they have a nice looking guy, he talks well. that is the way the health care bill is right now. this democratic party could have done a wonderful thing for the country. even the president had not been up front delivering a good mission -- message to the people. host: amy walter? guest: all good points. fundamentally, this will be the issue for the 2010 campaign. democrats need

, who soon will become republican senator scott brown.wn ran against the obama health care plan, ran against the obama stimulus plan, ran against the approach to the economy, said he was spending too much and not creating enough jobs fast enough, but tonight, larry, the president of the united states, democrat barack obama, who carried this state by 27 points 14 months ago, called the republican victor, said congratulations and told him he was looking forward to working with him in washington. we'll try to get details on that call, larry. quite a constitutional night in massachusetts, a democratic president calling a republican a winner after 36 years of ted kennedy. >> one of the platforms obama ran on was health care and he got health care through, albeit not as as long -- strong as he wanted. so what is the big disappointment in massachusetts? what did he disappoint them with? >> you have to remember the health care industry spent over $100 million against health care reform. so when people say health care reform, they've been confused

jeffrey brown begins our coverage. >> brown: it was a five to four decision-- to wipe away limits on corporate and labor union spending in campaigns for president and congress. justice anthony kennedy wrote the majority opinion-- joined by chief justice john roberts, and justices samuel alito, antonin scalia and clarence thomas. they threw out key provisions of campaign finance laws dating back to 1907, plus two of the high court's own decisions from 1990 and 2003. specifically, the justices overturned a ban on letting companies and unions tap their own treasuries to produce their own campaign ads. the decision also eliminated the so-called mccain-feingold ban on issue-oriented ads within 30 days of a primary, and 60 days of a general election. the justices dissenting from those conclusions were john paul stevens, ruth bader ginsburg, stephen breyer and sonia sotomayor. the case at issue involved a 90- minute film attacking hillary clinton during her 2008 run for president. >> hillary rodham clinton has undoubtedly become one of the most divisive figures in america.... >> brown: the

let's see scott brown. let's see the republican party. >> larry: andy, how would you respond to those points. >> first of all, the hyperbole rather than reality. i think president obama will face a very difficult challenge within his own party, and he's not shown strong resolve to the american people, and therefore there's not a lot of people in his own party ready to follow him. so i think he has real challenges in the leadership in house and senate have real challenges. it's hard to get the votes. i helped a president try to get the votes in kank. it will not be easy. you can't get noticing done if you don't get the votes from congress. >> larry: he's not a dictator, notwithstanding what some of the tea partiers want to call him. i think that all of those pointses are absolutely right. again, i'm going to strongly second him on this. there's no way that having -- i mean, we're having this conversation on a little by of a vacuum and a little bit of an ahistorical way. to suggest that the democrats in congr

brown. i am a somewhat of a democrat, but i think this shows a week as the people, i mean we are part of president obama and harry reid and nancy pelosi trying to do, they are trying to shove this health care down people's throat and they don't want to and in fact obama -- we want him to work for the people and everything and they are not doing it right now and hopefully this will send a message saying wake up and stop lending dustin the wrong road. >> host: and you are a democrat? >> guest: >> caller: yes. host could you voted for barack obama in 2008? >> caller: know why did not. obama did not represent my values. i voted for senator john mccain and sarah palin. >> host: thanks for the call from kentucky. we will go to the republican line. debbie from lisbon falls, maine. good evening to you. >> caller: hello, good evening -- >> host: did you see this coming in your neighboring state? >> caller: i'm sorry, what? >> host: did you see this coming in your state? >> caller: we sure did. the re

you don't hear it a lot but scott brown is a pro-choice republican. and fiscal conserve tifr, and liberal libertarian. that is where the message is it. got to get the message in washington. the rare of play to the place to the base plx is over. >> larry: we're back. is john avalon right? >> john avalon has emerged as one of the leading voices of his generation. i respect that. but i do disagree about his analysis of scott brown. he was embraced on the conservatives. he did say she was for row v. wade. he's very much against gay marriage and against other things. he was a right to life candidate in this election. he was always against deficit spending. he was against the health care bill. but to go back to the question you put to mary matlin, scott brown took off in december, and in large part when he began campaigning, he nationalized the race. and when he did that, along with his populism and authenticity, he reminds me of sarah palin in some ways. he is real and for the people. that combination of nationalizing the race and the personality really dr

guest: will scott brown become reliably republican votes?connell can count on? he is not quite as conservative as some people think it, because of the wave of anger against health care. key is effectively prot -- is pro-choice. guest: i am delighted to have any republican senator. i think on the issues he campaigned on, there is broad support, not only across massachusetts but the country and within the republican party for strong national security, a strong fiscal responsibility, and one that says that we do not want and list spending which is going to hang around the necks of our children and grandchildren. those are very solid, republican center-right issues. i think there are going to be issues that people differ on, and he will have to vote his conscience and his own state. that is to be expected. that is part of the difficulty of being the leader, counting of votes in figuring out on what discrete issues, is my caucus going to come down on? it remains to be seen exactly how he will glow. i think you will both the interests of the peopl

was the brown camp surprised at that? >> a bit surprised, but they think the president is correctly reading the results last night. that independent voters don't like what they see in washington. part of what they're saying -- remember, for all he said on the economy, health care, iraq, afghanistan, president obama, as candidate obama his fundamental promise was we'll make washington get around, won't be so partisan, get things done. voters don't like what they see right now. party plolitics. just the democrat on health care. just the obama and pelosi and reid working on things. the calculation the president has made an the brown campaign would say it's right, if we try to do anything that voters view as partisan shenanigans right now, we'll be punished for it. >> larry: john, do the democrats come out fighting, do they come out united or come out dispir dispirited? >> they're a bit dispirited right now. a long way between now and november. but there's a great mistrust of institutions in the country right now. people don'

jeffrey brown has our profile. >> brown: rocco landesman is a successful broadway producer, whose companycyn, owns five major theaters in new york and has presented numerous award-winning plays, including "angels in america", and "the producers". ♪ now landesman has given up the bright lights of broadway for the halls of washington's bureaucracy. as head of the national endowment for the arts, he manages a federal agency that's seen its share of ups and downs: started by congress in 1965 to foster and bring the arts to all americans, but a frequent target of conservatives for funding of controversial works. landesman wasted no time raising eyebrows: he called nea funding "pathetic", and suggested money should go to programs based on merit, not automatically to all congressional districts. "i don't know if there's a theater in peoria," he said in an interview, "but i would bet that it's not as good as steppenwolf or the goodman," referring to top chicago companies. that didn't play well in peoria. but recently, landesman paid a visit, answered questions, and made amends. >> look at that >>

scott brown is winning that race right now. with a very strong indicator of white coakley got herself into this problem. host: this reporter says amidst the ceaseless campaign commercials at the brown campaign is managed with overriding cheerfulness. coakley by contrast is attacking so relentlessly that they risked undermining her own support. at what point do negative ads hurt yourself? guest: there is always a fine line. you are trying to define yourself and your bottom. you generally define your point with mostly negative that spring and she is obviously running from behind a little. but i think enthusiasm is ginger. the democratic machine is turning itself arm. he got the benefit. when you are behind you can go one of two boys. you can go-to catch up, or stay positive. clearly he has done some very smart things. he has done a good job of positioning himself and tapping into the anchor people feel -- anger people feel. as democrats we are the party in power, the establishment, whether or not that is a fair moniker. i think w

i am going to be a scott brown republican. maybe there is a new breed of republican coming to washington, not beholden to the special interest of the party, who will look to solve problems that. i have always been that way. i supported clean elections, i supported term limits, i believe strongly that we are there to serve the people. we're there to do a job. i like many others throughout the country -- when we are talking about what so-and-so's said in his book and what so- and-so's said here, my response is, who cares? we have terrorist trying to blow up our planes and kill our families and shopping malls. we have people dying in afghanistan and our soldiers trying to make sure that we get the job finished there. we have very serious economic problems. i like many of you say, what is up with that? we need -- we need to make sure that we solve the problems. if i can bring that type of message to washington and create that dialogue that brings us back to the basics, i am all for it. did you have a question? >> barack obama, at

brown. host: what convinces you that mr. brown is the candidate for you?aller: i think martha coakley will be a rubber-stamp for the democrats and i do not like the health-care bill that is being forced down our throats i watched the last debate and i think joseph kennedy came across extremely well. i don't think he has a realistic chance of winning. host: buffalo, new york, good morning, on our democrats line. caller: i wanted to mention how they say they do not like health care. nobody said anything about that prescription plan that we all pay for. they have a double. and in that hall you get nothing for it. you get $5,000 where you have to pay your premiums up front. its $60 per month. you get nothing for it. you have to pay for your own drugs and the cost of being in the program until you use $5,000 pe. i am a senior addai pay the prescription even though i don't need $5,000 worth. host: you major point. what about the massachusetts senate race? caller: i think people have short memories. they say they hate the insurance and they did not like romney. s

brown. host: "the new york times" reported that john boehner has hired a former top adviser to the house republicans in 1994, barry jackson. he is the one who helped devise the contract with america. he is now on mr. john boehner's staff. his longtime adviser died on january 10 very suddenly. but "the new york times" says the selection of mr. jackson, who worked for mr. john boehner , it demonstrates how serious republicans are producing a campaign platform for the coming elections. given mr. jackson's reputation as a tough partisan operator. louisiana, this is jason. good morning. calling on the republican line. caller: thank you. yes, i have a wet house for the white house, the republican party and independent party -- message for the white house. obama needs to put the best the ball down and get a baseball bat and start beating heads in his party. rahm emanuel -- punching that -- back, obama has the skills that are verbal but not what needs to knock out. axelrod, one thing about the repub

nowhere in senator brown campaign did he use the word republican. last night in his victory speech, he said it was a great victory for independents. >> in my state, is 2-1 democrat. i can recall a single time or i put the word republican into an ad. my mother did not raise any polish children. -- any foolish children. if 12% of massachusetts is republican, it does not strike me as a smart way to campaign. he was in the state in which it is 3-1 -- three times more democrats than republicans, and more independents that all the rest combined. he was there to connect with the independent voters of massachusetts. they wanted to send him to washington to do business differently. i thought it was an inspired campaign. he did something that no republican has been able to accomplish in massachusetts since 1972. >> let me submit to something in response to that review cannot look at just what happened in massachusetts in isolation but what happened in virginia, what happened in new jersey, and what happened is that independents, the very people to put togethe

governor anthony brown. >> it is great to be here. i have already winterized my hair. >> that is terrific. moving on to more serious matters, the legislative session is opening on the 13th this week with major budget problems. what do you see as the areas that are expected to be hardest hit with the budget? >> this is not the first budget cycle in the o'malley-brown administration where we have had to look at costs and reductions. 80% of our budget goes to public health, safety, and education. the governor and i end with the general assembly will continue to put a priority on public education. have the number 1 schools in the country. we want to continue funding that at the historic levels we have. there are areas we have to look to do the most savings. we had to close some health facilities. we have reimbursement rates for hospitals and other providers. that is probably where we want to look as we look at the fiscal 2011 budget. >> we reported that former governor ehrlich's planning to get supporters out in annapolis this week to pro

brown. >> thank you. we need to do a jfk-style tax cut for businesses and family still will create jobs. we tried everything already. we've done a stimulus one martha is considering stimulus ii. she was in favor of the first one. we are looking at 12 trillion counting on the national debt. wouldn't it be nice to maybe try something a little bit different? because the stimulus bill isn't working, has created one new job to read the senate president will tell you governor patrick has that 49 out of 50 releasing the money we have so how can we talk about another stimulus bill when the first one hasn't worked? let's think differently. let's go back to the basics but really it we have to hold the line on spending first of all and give the president of the line-item veto country top to bottom review of every federal program and squeeze out waste like the president's leadership on those issues, so it's very important to do that and that is the difference between martha and meek. her tax proposals will not help a
