new york congressman steve israel is in charge of getting democrats elected as chair of the democraticongressional campaign committee. congressman, thank you. it's good to have you here. >> great to be with you. >> let me put it on the screen, this latest "new york times"/cbs poll which i'm sure you have seen. it shows congressional job approval stands at 9%. you're in single digits. the unemployment rate is now higher than congress' approval. does that make a harder sell to the folks that you are hoping will run and help get democrats back in control of the house? >> no. in fact, the same poll showed that over 70% of the american people think that the house republicans who are in charge of the house of representatives favor the richest 1% and don't care about any of the others, don't care about the middle class. house republicans who haven't been able to pass a single bill to create a single job have to be held accountable for this. the only thing they have done is try and cut medicare. and that's why we have over 107 candidates from throughout the country, 36 states, we filled 60 dis

democrats are nervous.they see the prospect of the protesters pushing the party dangerously to the left, just as the tea party has often pushed republicans farther to the right and made for intra-party run-ins. some officials in the party remain wary of their potential impact, especially if the protests were to turn more disruptive or even violent." do you sense there's a downside for the dems if this stuff gets more rowdy, if you will, rougher up there? and other places besides new york? >> yes. imagine what would happen if people at these occupy wall street groups should start showing up with assault-style weapons and talking about second amendment solutions. yes, then i'm sure the roof would come off, wouldn't it? but the problem for the democrats isn't that this might turn violent. i suppose it could, but i don't see any signs of that so far. but the problem is, again, that these people are angry at a system that has been rigged by both parties to serve moneyed interests. the democrats have been complic

to crack the majority. >> the democrats ruled that -- rolled out several and the onus was on democratsfter they lost 63 seats last time, have to beef up their ground game and have these candidates in place early. the impetus is not as much on republicans, but he talked some about the young candidates that they have. there is when they have to is 24 years old and not even constitutional age yet. i think you will see some more republicans who will come out later, but with redistricting, it is hard to see a full house picture come into scope until we get all of these lines. there are some lawsuits going on in illinois, texas and arizona that it could be thrown into a legal limbo there. >> the dynamics between a midterm election -- as we saw the campaign against nancy pelosi and a national election with the president at top of the ticket and the republican nominee. >> you have already seen in the new york 9 special election, running against obama proved to work. an elder borough, new york city to seek, i don't think democrats ever saw that coming into last week's of the campaign. i think r

the democrats are defending. only 10 for republicans. >> the american people are sick and tired of this do nothing congress. we're doing nothing because the republicans in the senate block us at every turn. from trying to bring up something. that is why i am so hopeful on my education bill. at least i have a compromise. that is for the future of our country. that is for the future of our kids. what is important now is the jobs bill. that is what we cannot break the logjam on with republican opposition. >> going back to your bill, the house make up is different than the senate make up. have you talked to speaker boehner at all? about joining a compromise. he was obviously one of the major architects of the original bill. >> i have not spoken personally to speaker boehner. but i have spoken to congressman klein. he is my respective chair on the house side. and congressman miller. he is the ranking member on the house side. we have met with them. we have talked about a path forward and how we move this ahead. quite

but he cannot get democrats uniformly behind him on this. he cannot get it from the democrats. is that just the the nature of democrats at this point? or is there anything to get them in line on this? >> i would agree with you that is one of the big problems in this country. is we understand that the republicans are mostly bad policy makers who are trying retreaded ideas that didn't work the first time. what's especially disappointing is that group of democratic senators, you know, the ben nelsons. these same types, these corporatist democrats who ally with them. it's bad enough you need 60 votes which is a quiet coo in government because it should be 51. when you look that there's 53 democratic senators, 40 of them are pretty good. but there's those 13 that call themselves centerists and then nothing is going to get done. this is again to come back to what we started to talk about. why i think the occupy wall street movement is so important. because the left needs something to move them away from the center and toward the left. you know, we've tried conservativism in this coun

. >>> good news for the democrats. the republican presidential candidates are trying to destroy each other. >> the race took an ugly turn. >> obfuscation and bewilderment. >> after this poor bastard loses i'll get a nice head start. >> i will not surrender. >> not just because of the mormon issue. >> there are a lot of reasons to elect me. >> i don't think mitt romney will energize evangelical voters. >> in iowa the evangelical vote is 35% to 50%. >> attack on romney's faith. >> the campaign accusing the candidate directly and through surrogates think people that attack mormons are being bigots. >> deplorable, deplorable statement. >> mormonism is not christianity. >> some moron can stand up and make a comment like that. >> some people define it as a cult. >> it's always been considered a cult. >> you did rick perry no good, sir in what you had to say. >> joe scarborough, i refer to you derogatorily. >> a republican is attacking republicans for attacking the wall street protesters. >> growing mobs occupying wall street

this year -- >> a democrat. >> a democrat. >> right. >> this time, they're going to pack democrats intos district in order to make the surrounding republicans a little more safer. now, in western side, it looks like it's going to fall to democratic congressman jason altmire, he'll have a tough decision to make, maybe run in the primary against one of his colleagues or maybe have to challenge a republican congressman, so democrats are likely to lose one seat in pennsylvania, but the map, we'll probably see it next month, it's not even released yet. >> let's go from the five-foot view to the 50,000-foot view, we skip the middle entirely on "the daily rundown." give me -- i've got the fancy graphic, i put an amalgam, you won't be held to give me your rh prediction, dave wasserman, we're at 192 democrats, if you are wondering, yes, there's one vacancy in oregon, david woo resigned his seat, a special election there, yes, it adds up to 434, don't send us e-mails. dave wasserman, tell us where you think we'll wind up when we're done with all the map drawings in november 2012. >> we're talking

let's go to the democrats.ne number that -- there's a lot of chatter among the -- among shall we say the amtrak corridor that, oh, my gosh, somebody could primary the president. no, they can't, actually, if you look at our numbers. we asked democrats, do they -- would they like to see president renominated, 73%, to put that in perspective. the best number bill clinton had at any point in time was 67%. president obama has a loyal base. >> he definitely has a loyal base. and what it tells us is that the president may be down, you mentioned it this morning on the "today" show, and you covered it. but the other side of it is, they like him personally, and secondly, more importantly, they give him credit for various things. i think he'll get credit on jobs, and more importantly, he gets credit on dealing with terrorism. both of these things suggest that he has his problems, and they're economic. but there are other sides, and they certainly aren't going to primary him. >> a few other issues we threw on her, one abou

the most liberal democrat is almost automatic winner because it's so heavily democrat. but that is only part of it. the fact that they don't live here is part of it, they don't know each other. i can remember as a college boy my family were eastman people. a senator for about four years. very conservative. he invited me one son by his office when i was in town. teddy kennedy and chris dodd, roman russa called curtis, two of the most white republicans, the most liberal democrats and a couple more, all having a drink. there were social friends. they liked each other. you don't see much of that anymore. but the problems a hard. i'm going to tell you, ronald reagan with a divided congress had just as hard problems. bill clinton with a divided congress didn't have as tough a problem, but he made real progress on the big issues. at some point somebody has got to provide. that is, i think, will people looking for. they haven't decided. were going to have to get a new president. he can still win by making his poll numbers. >> you had your hand up. >> absolutely. the incumbents

the democrats controlled congress. we have a democratic chairman of finance. they controlled ways and means with a lot of well known people like charlie rangel. they never got rid of carried interest or hedge fund operators get. why charge the democrats when they have been able to get rid of the tax deals. why do you trust them to fix it? >> that's why i was clear to say to you, this is not a political movement, this is a social movement. it doesn't matter, democrat or republican. what we are hearing is the government is not working for the people. we have had democrats and republicans in control. for 30 years we have seen this all is well stuff. it has to stop. that's what i have heard. it's got to be about stop the party poll picks. let's do what's right for people. i'm a teacher. i educate children but i also want to make sure as he gets educated and goes to college, it's clear. talk to anyone here. those opportunities are disappearing. >> you know, in cairo, we watched like everybody else what happened over there. they brought down mubarak and the statues

last time around, they could not even get all democrats. two democrats voted with the republicans. i think democrats are going to have a tough time. >> how could this approach yield better results for those who supported the jobs package in the first place? >> i am sorry, how could it yield better results? >> by breaking it up this way? >> it gives the president and the democrats on the hill and an additional -- on the hill additional ammunition. it will get headlines showing that republicans oppose hiring more teachers. they will get headline joined republicans opposing rebuilding roads and bridges. since democrats controlled the senate, they control what to bring up for a vote. republicans have offered their own jobs package. they offered one last week. they do not control the chamber. they are not going to have the headline that democrats reject the republican job program. they are not going to get that vote. >> what are you going to be watching for? >> you kind alluded to it earlier. what you are going to look for is any crossovers. you are going to see if on the last time arou

sherrod brown is a democrat from ohio. senator, if you were standing in wall street with the occupy wall street people, what placard would you be holding up in the air? >> that's a good question. i just think for the president to stand -- be on or side in the end. i mean, this isn't a liberal conservative left or right, it's whose side are you on, and the president's starting to fight more than he did. that's a good sign. i think the energy coming out of the wall street protesters is always a good thing. when people nonviolently speak out and stand for something, it's good to challenge authority when they do that. >> do you think they want reform or do they want structural change? the kind of stuff i grew up with and you grew up, which is a real argument about what kind of a system, kind of system we have in this country. is this for structural change, radical change, like the way profits go to different corporations or the way people get jobs? is it systemic? or do they just want things fixed a little? i'm curious. what d

the truth is we have 53 democrats. the system is set up so you need 60 and we cannot change the system because of the rolls. if republicans will not let us bring it up, there is nothing we can do about it other than keep trying. the american people are smarter than a lot of people think. you know, i think the american people are beginning to understand that you have a total block by the republicans in a senate to to even bring up a jobs bill. they can amend it, they can offer amendments, but they will not even let us do that. the american people are catching on to that. >> cutoffs electoral map fort senate democrats. -- a tough electoral map for senate democrats. >> the american people are sick and tired of this do nothing congress. we're doing nothing because the republicans in the senate to block us at every turn. from trying to bring up something. that is why i am so hopeful on my education bill. at least i have a compromise. that is for the future of our country. that is for the future of our kids. what is importan

i was a democrat 20 years ago in the congress. working under tip o'neill as a bull evil democrat. working with ronald reagan to make good things happen in america. i wasn't perfect but i reached across party lines and we built america. we ought to do the same thing now. i disagree with you. it's not the republican party. it's both parties. i mean, the president of the united states barely two years into a four-year term announces re-election and proudly says he's going to raise $1 billion. last week "the new york times" said, guess what? his small donations are drying up. he's getting his money from special interests, wall street, just like the republicans. they both are on the dole. >> governor, the chuck schumer and other senate democrats have authored an idea to raise taxes on those billionaires. a surtax on incomes over $1 million beginning only on incomes above $1 million, a surtax of 5%. that would also apply to capital gains taxes. is that something that you think is a fair burden sharing that could be visited upon those massive incomes over $1 million? >> they're half righ

a democrat winning in north carolina. bill clinton did not win north carolina either time he ran, but barack obama did. barely. obama and biden won by a little more than 14,000 votes. democrats actually had a big year in north carolina in 2008. that year the jesse helms senate seat was up after the far, far, far, far right senator jesse helms stepped down, that state had gone to elizabeth dole. in 2008, republican elizabeth dole, the incumbent republican senator in the jesse helms seat, in 2008 she lost that seat to a democrat. kay hagan. she got beaten badly in that race. elizabeth dole losing that race by nine points. for the governs race, it was a three-point race. the governor won. beth purdue bake became the first female governor. barack obama didn't need north carolina or indiana either. but seeing states like north carolina and states like indiana turn so unexpectedly blue was the exclamation point on the democratic victory in 2008. the democrats choosing north carolina for their 2012 convention was sort of a bold

in a democratic polling firm released yesterday, the democrats hit one. . 47, 46. interestingly, the democrat has never moved outside the margin of error. he sat right where he was and the republican has a little by little gone up. i would doubt seriously we will see a republican governor elected in the west virginia today. but if we do, it will fit right in there with new york 9 as a gigantic statement about democrats repudiation of their own president. because republicans don't get elected to the governor of west virginia unless a whole lot of democrats vote for him. but president obama's job approval in west virginia is in the '20s. a good place if you are the republican candidate for governor. so what do we know about 12? in politics, you don't know until the election is over. but here is what we think we know and have reason to believe -- tough, contentious, negative campaign. looks today like it will be very close. a lot can change. and a lot will change. about three minutes ago, chris christie started a news conference at which he will announce he is not run

in the midst of that collapse in 2008, a presidential election was held in a democratic house and a democratic senate and democratic president were all elected. despite great gnashing of teeth by the republicans, the democrats did manage to pass a fair package of new regulations on wall street called dodd/frank. i say fair to middling because it could have been a lot tougher than it was. they probably could have nationalized the banks and maybe they ought to have. what they passed is some constraints on the worst behaviors that got us into the crash of 2008, that got us to where we are now as a country. now just three years later we are poised to have yet another presidential election season and the candidates vying to be the republican nominee are competing with one another to see who can roll back the new rules on wall street the farthest and the fastest. >> i know we can do so much better in this country. that's why i'm the chief author to repeal dodd/frank. >> we can't go forward with dodd/frank. >> repeal dodd/frank. >> dodd/frank obviously is a disaster. sarbanes-oxley which was done by

no democrat hasn't won that state since 1964. president obama did it back in 2008 thanks in part to a lot of independent voters. a lot of those independent voters have really soured on him. 62% disapprove of the job he's doing. he is going to try to woo some of those independent voters. the first lady will join the president in virginia tomorrow on this bus tour. >> all right. kristen welker traveling with the president. thank you very much. >>> the white house insists that isn't a campaign tour, president clearly needs to boost his numbers if he plans to hold onto north carolina, a state he won last time by just 14,000 votes. joining me now north carolina democratic senator kay hagan. nice to see you. >> good morning. >> i want to start with your reaction to what the president told wcnc about his prospects in north carolina last night. >> my intention is to win north carolina again like we did last time. it'll be close because obviously folks are frustrated with the challenges we still face in the economy. i think ultimately the

there is no democratic show in town. they are not performing particularly differently in terms of voter preferences between the candidates. we are not seeing this wave of independents. clearly, ron paul does better amongst some independent voters than he does elsewhere but right now, it is obama with 40 something, cane poll in the low teens. no one else is in double digits. but, importantly, only 38% of new hampshire likely voters at this point say they are strongly committed to any of the candidates. the number for romney's 45%, a little better but clearly he hasn't closed the sale. as you say, things can happen sometimes even on the eve of nut hampshire primary, if you recall, just four years ago. >> that was an amazing number. more people in iowa said that they were sure of their vote versus new hampshire, even though the iowa numbers look nor maude lynn. let's go to president obama. his numbers here. his job ratings we noted earlier barely above 40 in iowa. they are two swing states we forget. they didn't look like s

iowa democrats don't behave all that differently than democrats in the rest of the country.ort of define, forgive me, a bit of a fringey part of the republican party. they -- in the ames poll they supported michele bachmann obviously and they tend to prioritize social conservative issues. in republican voting in iowa. given that, and given the influence of iowa right now, do you think it makes sense for democrats to talk about values issues? heading into a national election year and the president's re-election? values issues including social issues or do you think that talking about the economy is a way to speak to the moderates and the independents of iowa that may not feel like they're represented by that republican caucus? >> actually i think you can do both at the same time. you can talk about putting people back to work and you honor the value of work. you can talk about making sure that veterans have an opportunity which the president wants with the american jobs act, getting them an opportunity to have a job when they come back. you can talk about values and talk abou
