we have a strong financial advantage at the dccc. we have operations that are not last the minute. last minute but had been in place for months, talking to voters in the swing districts of about these issues. we also made a very clear decision early on to stay on offense wherever possible. clearly after picking up 55 seats over the last two elections, we had to work hard in defending those members, but wherever possible, we have stayed on offense. and there are a good number of what we call red-to-blue candidates and we're confident we will pick up but the number of those. let me just and by saying that just as republicans are currently prematurely popping that can produce champagne bottles about november 2, they did the second thing in three special legend that we've seen over the last two years. new york 20, new york 23, and others. in new york 23, we saw that the local choice of the republican party was run out by a tea party candidate. you had sarah palin and that the party movement come in and essentially drive the republican candidate at of the race. bill owens run that race,

guest: you have heard the chairman of the beach for policy asking -- of the dccc asking.t is such a huge advantage for them when they can tie the democratic incumbents to washington. in delaware, democrats have a shot of were -- of picking up a republican seat that is leaning their way right now. democrats have lieutenant governors -- the former lieutenant governor of delaware john carney in this race. he could pick up mike castle's seat and there could be a split in the delegation there. host: next yes, go ahead. caller: i am a cpa. republicans say they do not believe in government, so why would you hire someone who says they do not believe in government to run the government? the other thing is, some people have radios in the background when they are working. i usually have c-span. i would watch the hearings because they have discussion about tax laws and the future of the tax laws. without fail, every bill that republicans put up hurt the middle class taxpayers. and worked to the advantage of the really wealthy. that is what turned me off on the republican party. guest
