tom dewey, tom dewey in the negative. now, we haven't talked much about thomas dewey. dewey was the governor of new york, pretty popular guy. he had been the nominee of the republican party in 1944, he had led on the first three ballots in 1940 before losing to wendell willkie. quite remarkable because this year, 1948, he's only 46 years old. now, that's about the age obama was. that's only three years older than jack kennedy was. he's a young man. and he's been on the verge l of power and national notoriety even before that 190. what is he in 1940? he's an ex-district attorney. he's not even governor. he was the district attorney of manhattan. he was mr. district attorney, crime buster, the guy who went after the mob, put 'em in jail, went after the wall street guys, put 'em in jail. he did it all. he was spectacular. as a district attorney. but as governor, he begins to trim his sails. he's looking at the polls and as a candidate it's the same way. so people even though he's the purported front runner and he's the front runner in terms of delegates at this point, he'

don't be tom dewey. >> how about tom dewey versus ronald reagan?hich side will mitt romney choose? that's a wonderful contrast. >> it is. the key point for mitt romney, he does have to be bold. and the thing that concerns me, i think it would be great if he adopt morse of the ryan plan and shows a bold strategic vision and great ideas. the problem is two nights ago in florida, he started criticizing obama for cutting medicare. republicans shouldn't be criticizing democrats for cutting. we should be the ones making the cuts. and we can't simply go to audiences like older voters and tell them they can have their cake, eat it too and have more dessert if we're in the presidency. >> so you want him to be tougher on spending that was the question i had for madden that would be a good signal? >> absolutely. he's got to be tough. if we can get the chair, that we're willing to make the tough, bold decisions and adopt much of the simpson-bowles kind of ideas which the president was unwilling to do on his own commissions. we got to show that we're willing to

so romney and dewey, explain the similarities. >> well, when dewey ran back in 1940 against harry truman all the polls but he ran a campaign that didn't say very much. at the end of the day harry truman pulled off the biggest upset in history. yesterday finally, he came out with a proposal on taxes, not as far as i would go, but a good step in the right direction. so i hope he's starting to immunize himself against dewey-ism. >> interesting. okay. the debate last night. romney has been described by up with of our contributors as methodical, relentless, that he did a great job. i'm sort of reading between the line of what you just said. did you change your mind, are you a romney backer? >> not yet. long ways from that yet. but last night i wish he had hammered home more of his tax plan. he's going to have to demonstrate in the weeks ahead, kyra, that he really believes this. this is a central part of his theme and hits at every opportunity he gets. he did do well last night. santorum faulted. really faltered, i thought. and gingrich did well finally after several bad debates or subpar deb

mississippi in this confrontation was 24-year-old george dewey, who would sail into manila bay to annihilate the spanish fleet and earn his stripes later. 14 of the 17 union ships at new orleans made it past the forts. only one, the verona, was sunk. confederates lost seven of their eight gun boats plus the manassas. the remaining confederate gun boat was later captured. they blew up ironclad to prevent its capture. at the cost of only 37 killed and 147 wounded, furagate's fleet won a remarkable victory. that victory was incomplete until new orleans was in their possession. at mid morning on april 24th, furgate's ships rendezvoused above the forts. they were all more or less damaged but still operational. furagte decided to continue upriver and attack the city. the con federfederate troops han called upriver leaving behind only local militia which fled at the approach of the fleet. the city was virtually defenseless except for two earth works with 14 guns flanking river three miles downstream from new orleans where andrew jackson had stopped the british in 1815. but nothing was going to stop

tom dewey was governor of the state of new york. the first color television sets were just being sold. jackie robinson was playing second base for the brooklyn dodgers. the first corvette was created. i was just a twinkle in my father's eye. maybe a double twinkle in my father's eyes. and majority leader dean skelos was only 4 years old. but a dapper lad he was, wasn't he? speaker silver was only 8 years old. but even at 8, speaker silver was speaker silver. but what is very heartening is that even then you should know they were both working together hand in hand in a spirit of bipartisanship. let's give them a round of applause.

born attacked intellectuals like john dewey and herbert crowley, the godfather of new nationalism. he attacked them as being immersed in what he called pragmatic dispensation. that made them, he said, immensely ready for the executive order, but pitifully unprepared for the intellectual interpretation or idealistic focus. now, had he been around in 2009, born might have flagged a similar criticism against president obama's dogged but rhetorically empty leadership in the fight over national health reform. a battle he rightfully pointed out began with the progressive party campaign. he tended in his fight for health care reform, the president tended to spew exalted moral principles. for example, the claim of t.r. that health care was a human right, not a privilege, or dubious promises of greater efficiency and cost cutting. the highest rhetorical and programatic aspiration of the health care fight was the public option. you couldn't come up with a worse term, it seemed to me. my colleague, jacob hacker, came up with that term. it testifies, i think, to contemporary progressive rhetor
