one, christine o'donnell -- their 1 million people in delaware. christina powell only got 30,000 votes. so why didn't he just beat her in the general election? because delaware has this crazy lass called the solar loser bought that if you run for your party's nomination and you lose, your name can't be on the ballot in november. those 30,000 people can't call it the million people of delaware from choosing who they wanted in the u.s. senate world the power lies. so go over to utah, where senator mike tassos was running for -- he should've put this guy in the senate, and mike steele, my castle -- never mind. robert then it was running for reelection in the senate and utah. they have a convention. there are 3 million people in utah. 3500 were at the convention. 2000 voted for their other candidates other than robert bennett. because of those 2000 people, his name could not he on the ballot in november for the 3 million people of utah because they have this sore loser law. how many states have this crazy sore loser law? 46. 46. here's another provisi

i believe she has a few like christine o'donnell and sharon angle also she's backed.in's star has waned very far. now it's not just people like us who call her out, but her own side who are willing to denounce her when she makes crazy statements like she is now. she doesn't have the fund raising pool she once had. she is not going to be a force to be reckoned with in 2014 despite her illusions here. >> cynthia, on the other side when all this is going on, president obama while they're squabbling, he's been staying very tough. look at this. >> the idea of reversing that progress because of an unwillingness to compromise or because of some ideological agenda is the height of irresponsibility. you have never seen in the history of the united states the debt ceiling or the threat of not raising the debt ceiling being used to extort a president or a governing party. this is the united states of america. we're not some banana republic. this is a not a dead beat nation. we don't run out on our tab. let me say as clearly as i can, it is not going to happen. we have come too f

member of congress, we live in this era where the challenge threat is so real that someone like christine o'donnelle in and beat someone like matt cassell. i don't know where the incentive is there for you to say we got to cater, give in -- >> the real danger for republicans and you hear this, even talking to demint, how can you justify the shift to the right after the 2012 election? obama's re-election, democrats gain in the house and the senate, and he fundamentally l rejects the idea that it was a vote on conservativism. if we just force the shutdown, the american people agree with us, they will rally to our side and overthrow the -- >> it was such a -- i love that line. such a convenient thing to say. the republican party nominated mitt romney. they didn't want to have -- if they didn't want a fight with a real conservative, they could have -- >> the way to think about this, if you look at poll numbers, it is just not there. this is a faith-based strategy on the part of these radical republicans. if they just do what they want to happen, people will agree with them. i think they'll find out the

i see luger losing in the primary, i see christine o'donnell winning in delaware, i say what that doesamanda, to the average member of congress, even if they don't believe in what ted cruz is saying, better to go along and keep the seat. >> it is so bad for their party in the long run. the tea party, you know, they helped get rid of all of the moderates who would have won the general election in the senate seats. and what it did is paved the way for democrats to pick up seats. they scuttled the grand bargain between john boehner and president obama in 2011, 2012. which would have cut social security benefits and medicare in many progressives didn't like it. the tea party objected and so the republicans in the end got something they didn't want. so they keep saying that you have to toe the line, but in the end, it is just bad for their party politically and policiwise, it is not accomplishing anything. >> it is not just bad for the party, it is destroying the country and they don't seem to care in the slight bit. i mean, this is a -- what we now see particularly in the house of represen

let not forget at the same time, we really, christine o'donnell in delaware?e me a break, no way. todd aiken in missouri. these things have a way of taking off. >> rand paul in kentucky. >> exactly. >> especially when they're well funded. >> and primary races always weaken you for the general election. >> and by the way, who expected mike lee to be rob bennett? to own the convention, though? >> that was a convention. >> mike allen, thank you so much. >> mitch mcconnell here. by the way, it was ernest thayer in 1888. >> oh, it was. >> what was that year? >> 1863. before the civil war. >> it could be today. marianna rivera. >> yank key stadium. turn a major league headache for the yankees. we will tell you why the tribute turned into chaos. dogs and cats living together straight ahead in sports. . >> it's time for sports and the race for baseball's post-season. start with the cardinals, michael walker looking to finish off the no hitter against the nationals. two outs in the 9th. brian zimmerman. this little chopper up the middle. you don't want to end a no hitt
