it's like seeing the best dressed of the dccc. i'm representing peer 38 and the tenants, there are 40 businesses that occupy that area. there are 20 new businesss that come out of that area and i want to just say that it's important not just because of the businesss that are currently there, but because of the businesses that are created because of the collaborative environment available because of the resources that appear. i had had my own business for 12 years on union square. it wasn't until i came over to peer 38 that i decided to start a new company that will be employing close to eight people in the next year and a half. so if i could ask all of you to please apply pressure to port and fire and hopefully they can have us stay there, that would be greatly appreciated. thank you. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> hello, supervisors, my name is bill burton. i am working on the historic ship at peer 38. the charter of what the port is supposed to do is 2/3 maritime use of the waterfront there at one point they asked u

the dccc, zero. >> what we've seen in nevada 2 is a complete absence on the part of democrats becausey recognized early on in the polling here that it just was ringing up no sale. in this kind of climate when obama is at 40%, democrats are not going to win. >> so they decided not to waste their money. >> it's a way smart on democrats' part to try to cut their losses in this situation. the problem is their losses are bleeding into democratic districts right now. >> nathan, are we overrating the republican chances in new york 9? i have ohio 2 in my head. i remember all the momentum in 2005 where democrats looked like it was a very republican district and at the end of the day a lot of people still pulled the r ballot. are we going to see that tomorrow? >> the nervousness is the democratic get out to vote effort is going to be superior to republicans. but if the public polling is correct and turner is winning 30% of the democratic vote, i think he has the momentum and it's going to be too much to make up when tomorrow comes. >> is this the first time we're seeing jewish democratic voters

when rahm was in the white house, they knew rahm, rahm got some of them elected when he was dccc chairmanhey're being shut out of a lot of policy discussions. >> here is the quote. daly has no understanding of the congressional process and he doesn't want to understand the process. the entire senate democratic caucus has a problem with daley. i have a feeling that a little bit is inside -- >> that's not his skill set. he's not a member of congress, wasn't brought in to do that. remember, rahm was one of them. so what we see here is a lot of bruised egos. what we see is a lot of people not invited to the white house. we see the president not returning their phone calls but daly returning their phone calls. this is consistent with the obama campaign. back in 2008 when a lot of washington insiders were upset with the obama campaign because they thought perhaps this was -- they weren't hands-on enough. this is very typical of washington, d.c. >> its my understanding that team obama on the campaign side wants to fight back, wants to punch some of these congressional democrats quietly and say,

the democrats quote will look like dumbies and the dccc will get a black eye.erstate the case? sometimes election polling can be off. >> this is a district obama won by 11 points. the last republican congressman from this district came in the 1920s. and to bring the force to put a half million dollars into a seat in new york, even if they win it. the poll.all showing the republican winning. i think it's likely to happen. if it does happen it will unsettle a lot of democrats who say my district is a will the more competitive than new york city. megyn: we'll interview tim pawlenty in a couple minutes. romney and perry are battling it out. it's getting ugly with accusations about what's been said about social security. does this kind of back and damage the republican party if it wind up being rick perry in particular? >> not thus far. it's using each other's word to go at each other. i that governor perry did a smart thing by seizing the opportunity in "usa today" to say i'm in favor of saving and strengthening social security. people are for reform. he has to ref

the same with dccc. it is not something that's, you know, ticky-tacky.his is something, this is one of the downside of having a member of congress head up a political committee. there is a violation here. more than bill -- go ahead. bill: we reached out to the dnc we're waiting for response on that so we'll follow that up. there is another big issue today i know you're keenly aware of, that is in congressional district 9 here in the state of new york. this is a district vacated by anthony weiner who was forced to resign in the past year. >> right. bill: it has been held by democrats since 1923. now david weferen. bob turner is the republican. the prevoting polling has this race either too close to call or republican with an edge. now polls are open until 9:00 later tonight. what is the closeness or the tightness of the race tell you about what is happening in america? >> what it tells you not only are republicans, independents, tired of the direction that this country is going, and concerned about the future of america but what it tells you that democrat

and mitt romney sounds like, well, he sounds like the dccc after new york 26. >> well, i do think theg forward here against perry. i think hitting perry from the right doesn't work. i think -- the idea of that somehow mitt romney's going to make himself look more conservative than rick perry to voters, i just think is not very plausible. but, if romney can make perry seem unelectable in a general and make himself seem the most electable of the two, i think that's the approach. he is setting himself and finally finding a voice on social security and medicare to some conservatives i think makes romney sound like a democrat in the way he's -- >> he's the defender of the largest entitlement programs in america. >> i think it's all designed to make perry seem unelectable. at this point. that's his best path to the nomination. >> well, speaking of plans, some here on the set don't think the president's jobs plan is resinating. is it? >> hey, well, i think the short answer is no. look at the hand wringing this morning. we knew the hand wringing was going to happen. pretty quickly when -- whe
