we are joined by chris van hollen of maryland.ngressman congressman, good to see you. >> good to be with you. >> it's the last voting day, then seven weeks before election day. what do you think about today and some of these races where establishment republican candidates are being challenged by the tea party candidates particularly in the delaware senate. >> it is a big voting day. it's a big voting day in my state of maryland. delaware is something the whole country is focused on. this would be the clearest signal to date that the republican party has been totally hijacked and taken over by a far right wing group. by not just the tea party, but a certain element of the tea party. this is, i think, going to be -- it would be bad news for the republicans. it would be bad news for the country. that's the reality. >> congressman, you say, of course that the republican party has been hijacked by the tea party. but there's a great piece in the "washington post" today by dan balls who says the contrary is true. the tea party means we h

chris van hollen and kevin mccarthy.gressman mccarthy, there is a republican candidate from maine who is running right now, paul lepage, and he said this, and i want to play the clip, because it is underscoring what is going on and the poisonous atmosphere out there right now. listen to. this -- >> you will be seeing a lot of me on the front page saying, governor lepage tells obama to go to hell. is that appropriate to tell the president of the united states that you will be hearing a lot from me, and i will be telling you to go to hell. >> we need to work together, but what you are hearing in the voice is the frustration in the country where there are many in my own hometown of bakersville who turn out to be frustrated on the lack of budget and then passing a health care bill where many people were opposed to it and now more people opposed to it than ever before and the frustration is bringing out more. and they are mad at both sides of the aisle, but they want to see this place in washington change. and in november, it

for more on the battle pran, let's bring in maryland congressman chris van hollen the chairman of theccc. i guess it's fair that the republicans are not recycling business, but i think, for the most part, doesn't this get the democrats off the bush message, get the democrats away from saying it's all about bush, because now they own it. i mean, this is their plan. no we don't have to talk about bush anymore. we can talk about, this is their blueprint what do you think? u are absolutely right, ed. this is proof-positive that they essentially took the bush economic agenda, made a xerox copy of it except for the front page,ed a nice-looking front page on top and are trying to sell that to the american people as something new. it's not new. it's the same old, same old. and all they're offering is the same old economic agenda that got us into this mess. and i'm really glad they've put this out there, because it gives us something very clear we can point to, to say, you see? they want to go back to the days when the wall street banks, the big guys ran the show. they want to go back to the d
