harry reid. in delaware, christine o'donnell having problems of her own.hat's the state of the tea party movement right now and some of their key candidates as sarah palin tries to drum up support for them? >> they would say they're fired up and they have ten thuz am, the encouragement and the momentum on their side. obviously, if you feel you're in a political war, which the tea party activists feel they are, they want to fire up the troops. the one person who does that is sarah palin. which is why you heard of some of the scorched earth criticism of the president. in terms of those candidates, i've been talking to a lot of the tea party activists and some of the well known names within the movement. some of the controversies, what have you, some of the things that joe miller in alaska has been involved in, does that make you maybe think twice about endorsing them, supporting them, and they are emphatic that the tea party movement is firmly behind the candidates that they've endorsed so far this cycle. they believe it's possibly a little bit of a media bi

the key race there pits harry reid against sharron angle. and christine'donnell is trying to dig out from a deep hole in her senate race. a new report says that o'donnell has outraised democrat chris coons by a 2-1 margin. >>> there is no let-up this morning in the political battles playing out nationwitd. president obama was back on the attack in his weekly address. he was going after republicans on the economy as well as jobs. take a listen. >> when more things are made in america, more families make it in america. more jobs are created in america. more businesses thrive in america. the republicans in washington have consistently thought to keep these corporate loopholes open. >> savannah guthrie is co-host of "the daily rundown" here on msnbc. republicans have something to say. they're firing back at the president on that. >> they are. on a different tax issue, but no question taxes are very potent political issue this season. let's start with what the president said. you just played a portion of it. he's arguing that they should close some of these ta

harry reid used taxpayer dollars. >> in delaware, another battle. republican tea party favorite christine o'donnell faced off against democrat chris tunes. >> when you brag about balancing the budget but you have done so by raising taxes -- >> ms. o'donnell should work harder to get her facts straight. >> coons may be well ahead in the polls, but the top democrats are not taking chances. reporting live in northwest, i'm john hendren. >> today in tysons corner, job- seekers are it invited to a free career fair. d.c. hires are going to be at the crown plaza hotel at changebridge road. career experts are available to provide free resin -- free resume reviews. >>> former prince george's county police cadet was dismissed after he complained in structures give test answers to a class. the $1.5 million lawsuit reports that they tried to silence him as retaliation. >>> it was mr. mother is going to jail -- a westminster mother is going to jail after being charged with a dead in the theft. the couple took credit cards out in the names of their two, four, and 6-year-old children. >>> a burglar is s

last night tea party favorite christine o'donnell duked it out in delaware. tonight there is a face-off between harryeid and sharron angle. >> we'veot to ask, do we want to sd this gentleman -- >> they called her a witch. delaware senate candidates sparred over everything from evolution to the economy. >> i'm nobody's pet. i'll be a bulldog for delaware. i'm running to represent all delawareans. >> my opponent has a history of promisesi promises that he breaks when he takes office. >> reporter: there were shdowns in several states. >> when the money goes away, the job goes away. >> this election is about jobs and the economy. >> reporter: president obama's preparing to talk jobs on mtv. tonight's co-host says the under 30rowd will be listening. >> there's no bs to go to. it's affecting their pocketbooks. >> we need you. >> reporter: democrats are hoping michelle obama can connect with her husband can't. she heads to wisconsin today after stomping in illinois. >> she has the star power that barack obama has but not the baggage. >> reporter: tonight's face-off, sharron angle vers harry reid in nevada.

harry reid. if she doesn't have a christine o'donnell moment, if she doesn't come off really crazy there will beple who say she won. that's tough for him. it's also tough fighting a woman candidate, nongetting in low blows or things perceived as unfair in ha certain gender way. we've seen that in other races. he needs to stick to the facts and really make clear to the people of his state she is way, way outside of the nevada mainstream. it will be exciting. >> it will be exciting to watch. thank you. greatly appreciate you coming on with us. >>> a san diego superior court judge could be tossed from the bench because of her antics in the courtroom. judge deanne calcido was so eager to get on television she allegedly videotaped her hearings as an audition tape for a reality show. the judge played it for the camera, telling one defendant wave if he violated probation. joining me now, michael smerconish, msnbc contributor, nationally syndicated talk show host. michael, what do you make of this? you're an attorney. this sounds crazy. >> well, she wants to have a courtroom television program, and tamr

and the key race there is harry reid against sharron angle. >>> and christine o'donnell is trying to deep out from a deep hole in her senate race despite trailing in the polls. a new reports say o'donnell outraised chris coons by a 2 to 1 margin. we'll bring in mark here. christine o'donnell, really staggered financials, $3.8 million, and that's during the last three months. that's more than double the coons campaign. where is the money coming from? >> it is coming from outside of delaware. the same story is taking place in nevada where sharron angle was able to use her conservative stardom into raising a lot of money from outside of this state. this is one of the phenomenons we have seen of the tea parties really able to generate a lot of money for their candidates. it has been a big phenomenon. really tapping into what we saw president obama tap into in 2008. christine o'donnell trails chris coons in the polls. she's the big underdog in the race. >> polls show her down by roughly 20% minus a point or two here or there. how do you spend almost $4 million in 17 days to come out of th

christine. >> next on the marquee, fight night in vegas. harry challenger, sharron angle. to break it down for us this hour, chuck todd and chris cillizza. >>> on the trail, first lady michelle obama casts an early ballot today in illinois before continuing her national camp

it will be tough if they lose harry reid in nevada and really embarrassing if christine o'donnell winsin delaware, especially given it is biden's old senate seat and they should be able, now that she's down double digits. >> i also want to get your reaction to this because last night lawrence o'donnell called this the most efefective political ad he hadç ever seen and from the friends of christine o'donnell. let me play a little clip of it. >> in america where jobs are being lost and wages cut in delaware where the economy is suffering, hide your will. hide your lights. because he's taxing everything out here. chris coons is the tax man. >> because you remember antwan dawnson the guy's whose sister allegedly was attacked by someone and he said hide your wife, hide your kids because they're raping everybody out here, that's that, antwan has gone -- >> but is it effective political ad you've seen? one of them? >> one of them. >> could it work? >> sure, sure. because it's more substantive than the actual candidate. >> it's a different political ad. >> it is not that sort of glossy, shiny

also, can christine o'donnell's smile and enthusiasm close the gap with chris coons? also, get a beat on the harryreid head to head are sharron angle that's coming tonight. and two and a half weeks before election day. one candidate is accusing his opponent of wanting to kill puppies and kittens. it's raining cats and dogs in the campaign ad wars. plus, the good friend dick cheney shot in the face is speaking out now. now, we learn they weren't such good friends at all and that he has yet to apologize. and two hosts of the view getting up and walking off the set. what did bill o'reilly say that got them blasted out of their seats? that's bill and the "hardball" "sideshow." first, the latest races around the country. we'll start with nevada. two new polls show a close race now. a new las vegas review journal poll has sharron angle up two over hirsy reid. that's 47-45. still some undecideds there. a new suffolk poll has reid up. the debate is tonight. now to connecticut where quinnipiac's new poll shows dick blumenthal leading wrestlining linda mcmahon. we'll continue to check the scoreboard each ni

harry reid. >> it is so interesting, in watching these two women debate, sharron angle and christine o'donnell,hey have been the aggressors in their debates against the men. and the men, quite honestly, have not known how to behave. harry reid missed a lot of opportunities in his debate. and chris coons had -- >> i got a lot of e-mails last night, paul, from democrats cringing that harry reid was not taking advantage of some openings in that debate. >> one hour on public television is just not exactly driving that race. okay, i think that senator reid is an old school guy. he's a courtly guy. i would have crushed her like a bug. but that's me. but the thing is, don't forget -- >> woman or no woman, man up, paul. >> sharron angle believes that social security violates the bible. she wants to abolish social security entirely. >> john, i will bring up gender in this case. we saw it with joe biden, senator biden against governor sarah palin. there is a reluctance among male candidates, especially democratic candidates, to really go aggressively at the female candidate. a woman can say to a man, man

harry reid. you need to understand that we have a problem with social security. >> reporter: and christine o'donnellor biden's old seat in delaware though she has struggled. >> what opinions of late do you most object to? >> oh, gosh. give me a specific one, i'm sorry. >> actually, i can't, because i need you to tell me which ones you object to. >> look, christine ran against me. i'm the only guy in america that had two opponents, christine o'donnell and sarah palin. because i was on the ticket in delaware as a senator and as vice president. and, i took them both very seriously. we take christine o'donnell seriously. i think it's a mistake to not take them seriously. >> reporter: after nearly 40 years in american politics, biden is surely enough of a professional to know how long the odds really are against his party. >> i think we're going to take some losses. a lot of people are hurting. there's millions of people out of work. and people are upset. and the question is, are people going to show up? is our base going to come out and vote? i think they will. >> reporter: so, it's time to rally the ba

harry reid. >> reporter: the concept, if not the exact phrase, began with none other than christine o'donnell, who had this to say about her primary opponent, mike castle, back in early september. >> these are the type of cheap, underhanded, unmanly tactics that we've come to expect. this is not a bake-off. get your man-pants on. >> reporter: at least one woman from the other side has also jumped on the phrase. >> and man-up and do what you're asking other people to do. >> reporter: it's not a bad way to leave your male opponent speechless. >> i think this is a very effective way for a woman candidate to look tough. and it is difficult for a male candidate to have a comeback. >> reporter: it's not just about testosterone. many candidates this year seem to be reading from the same tea party script. first, label your opponent. >> career politician. >> career politician. >> career politician. >> reporter: then, label yourself. >> i'm a mother and a grandmother. >> i'm a physician. >> full-time business person. >> reporter: say what you oppose, like it's a dirty word. >> obamacare. >> obamacare. >

christine hanson? i might have spelled my name wrong. president miguel: go ahead. >> i am the president of the board of skyline stables. we are located at the harry tracy water treatment plant. we are working toward a resolution that will hopefully ultimately preserve the future of the stable. this will still require our group to take a huge leap of faith that the elements will lead to an eventual new home. as we take this sleep, it should still be noted that there are inaccuracies in this eri -- this eir that have not been fully addressed. our contribution of the tunnel under the freeway that exists between the plant and the watershed needs to be acknowledged. an equivalent facility to skyline stables, especially with its non-profit status, does not exist in the area, period. skyline stables is not a private facility. the ceqa process is a new situation for our group to encounter. thank you for your comments at the last hearing. for our group, your comments were a very bright spot in a difficult time. we are guardians of this historic stable and resource, and we take this responsibility very seriously. thank you. president miguel: thank you. chr

left in the media are making a huge mistake, strategically and christine o'donnell is the greatest decoy. sharron angle is now beating harrygoing to be the governor of south carolina, susana martinez is up in new mexico by eight. these mama grizzlies, these women candidates who are attractive and tough and smart and able are going to win from coast to coast and christine o'donnell may surprise some people and win, too. >> there's no question -- >> that may be so. >> there's no question, though, that when people gang up on an individual like christine o'donnell it has the opposite effect. there's a lot of sympathy for her. >> the last poll showed her doing quite badly behind coons, the democratic candidate. so she may be a casualty, but i think ralph may well be right about the trend, that she is a representative of. >> see more great conversation tomorrow night, "parker/spitzer" 8:00 p.m. eastern. >>> up next, you know the story of this girl, allegedly bullied to death in massachusetts. she was from ireland. six classmates now facing charges. the question tonight, are those charges warranted? new details in the case that r

comfortable, but the lack of exchanges by harry reid in particular with sharron angle is what surprised me. >> and the tea party candidates and sharron angle and christinedonnell now i think seem to benefit from having such low expectations of the performance and they spend so much time on the campaign trail ducking reporters and they build up the belief they can't really handle any of this, and so that it seems to me that the sta'ard for them is, did they fall on their face? and if they don't fall on their face on the debate stage, they have in effect succeeded? is that the new standard for these debaters? >> well, it should not be the new standard for the debaters. the problem that harry reid has is that he is so unpopular right now is that that is the standard that could be as far as the undecided voter sitting in nevada may have for sharron angle. i will say this for this debate, ideologically, you know exactly where both of these folks stand. it was crystal clear. you didn't come away going, boy, i'm not sure what kind of senator, or if she is a conservative or harry reid is pro-government, because that was clear coming out of the debate. >> chuck

christine o'donnell files. in bill maher's latest, she says she almost dabbled in the harry krishna movement. >> i was dabblingnto every religion. >> you were a witch. >> i dabbled in bud his. i didn't want to become a ve vegetarian. >> boy, are you spiritual. >> maher said o'donnell's made 22 appearances total and who knows what's coming next. next for us, rahm emanuel waesed no time coming out with his first campaign video. note here the quote, glad to be home theme. >> my father came to chicago as an immigrant from israel. i was born here and my wife and i raised our three children here. the president asked me to serve as chief of staff. it was a great honor to be working with him. but i'm glad to be home. >> that was filmed in washington, d.c. a real problem for emanuel. illinois state says the candidate for mayor must reside in chicago for a year before the election. he likely will face challenges from rival candidates on that fact. now to tonight's big number. alaska's joe miller just said he doesn't believe there should be federal minimum wage law. he's not the only candidate taking a whack at the minim

christine o'donnell seriously. >> reporter: polls in nevada indicate the same. a new mason/dixon poll shows sharron angle two points ahead of harry reid. >>> the justice department is now asking the federal judge to keep the don't ask, don't tell policy in effect for now. president obama defended the move during a town hall meeting last night. he promised to end the policy against gays serving in the military during his term. but the military says to end it immediately would simply be too disruptive. >>> the obama administration is now backing peace negotiations aimed at ending the war in afghanistan. they're in the early stages. but there are signs of progress. nick schifrin has more from islamabad, pakistan. >> reporter: the war in afghanistan will not end thanks to guns being fired. it will end, thanks to guns being laid down. the u.s. is hoping this scene begins playing out across the country. taliban insurgents agree to stop fighting and pledge allegiance to the afghan government. the door to negotiation is always open, the local governor says. military might will not solve our problems. 400 miles away, these men also fought
