and obviously, the race in pennsylvania has heetd up quite -- has heated up quite a bit, and mark crist who occupies less of the merged district than jason alt mire, and so what is interesting is that crist's campaign manager youed to work for alt mire, so there is a intrigue in pennsylvania. and democrats have more of the contests amongst themselves than republicans in a count of 7 to 4 races. there are two races that faces a democrat versus a republican, so a lot of the democratic money is being spent fighting other democrats, and that is good news. >> and david wassermann, what does this tell you about the overall state of redistricting and what we are seeing ten years ago to today? >> well, it is more turbulent redistricting cycle than we have seen in ten years ago. it is more like 1992 in terms of the turnover. we currently have 13 member versus races, and we have 36 members who are heading for the exits overall. there are so far 20 newly created seats, so altogether, the number of districts with no incumbent is somewhere between 55 and 60, which is a pretty high number for this po

it was the active republicans supporting charlie crist over marco rubio. it does not matter what you believe, it matters what party belong to. i think he partyers around the country recognize that the republican party no longer represented their interests as economic conservatives. and so -- but i think the major thing -- you know, it was not just dislike of the republican party. it was anger at ourselves too, because we let this happen, and we were not going to let it happen any longer. the other panelists have brought up one of the key differences between occupy wall street and us is that we have really made a difference, not only just in terms of policy, not only in terms of pushing the house to the right. we made a difference directly in elections. it is not just elections to get republicans elected. it is elections to get conservatives elected. that is the goal. i want to stress that. if republicans take the senate and that senate is not conservative, then we have all failed. we have to take our victories in 2010 and bring them to 2012. there is a gre

obama campaign officials said santorum's crist such represents -- criticism represents a low point iny campaign filled with quote, distortions, uglyness and seering pessimism. >>> meanwhile the president's campaign is focusing on santorum as a possible opponent rather than mitt romney. obama campaign officials confirm they're looking into santorum's background for possible attack targets. the move reflects santorum's sudden surge in the polls. romney still leads in the delegate race but santorum has had recent victories over romney and polls show him leading in michigan. >>> gas prices rose above $4 throughout the bay area, just in time for president's day weekend. a gallon of regular will cost you as much as $4.37 in san francisco. 4.25 in oakland. and 4.20 in san jose. the national average, $3.52. prices have gone up as much as 30 cents in the past two months. tensions are iran, a cold snap in europe, and rising demand from developing nations are fueling the increase. >>> and, clouds are going to clear and winds are on the decrease. so what does the rest of this long holiday weekend

crist ta freelance also joins us. why are gas prices going so high now?t tong close off the supply of oil. and both the u.s. is putting sanctions on the central bank. so there's a sense that all of this is intensifying. that means there may be problems in the supply of oil. >> why does a fear of a shortage of oil down the road drive prices up now? >> it's because people are in the market now getting ready to be preparing themselves. no one wants to be caught short of oil. >> they are buying as much oil as they can. >> not just the big oil. everybody. airlines are doing it. >> so they are buying it now because they don't want to be cut short. >> right. >> where's the price of gas going to be this summer when people travel? i hear it goes up in the summer because of the demand of vacatione vacationers. >> that tends to happen, although with the brilliant dan yergin i'm not going to forecast the price of oil. this is smart issue for republicans to focus on t. the culture wars have gone so far to the right, that in the general election, that kind of a focus c

about an embargo of iranian supplies and making it harder to sell it -- >> these same characters -- cristthese same characters like newt gingrich saying he's going to solve the whole thing overnight are also saying let's bomb iran tomorrow morning. the minute you bomb iran, whether it's good policy or not you have to calculate a lot of factors. iran will have a reaction. that reaction is not going to be cheaper gas for the west. >> absolutely. i totally agree that the main thing driving the price of oil is uncertainty around iran. if that war -- if that conflict gets hotter, then the oil price will go up very significantly. i wonder to what extent that is figuring into the white house calculations on that issue. >> you mean if we bomb or encourage israelis to bomb, not that they need a lot of it, they have a reaction over there. cut off the strait of hormuz. the gulf becomes a log jam and then what happens? >> and in fact, the iranians know if they threaten to close the strait or have the large military maneuvers, the price of oil goes up because people get nervous. >> so what do we do? i
