and god bless fred barnes.he only called me and talked with me, i would have shared withim some very interesting infortion. it's easy t write that without knowledge and, clearly, he is without knowledge here. the fact of the matter is, number one, we have been outraged recently, recently by the democra, because they have the white house, the congress and the senate. we don't. yet in 2009, we out-raised the democrats in seven out of eleven months. we're keeping pace with the democrats right now. i really appreciate the question. i've said from the very beginning, i would be a different kind of chairman, because this is a different time for us, for our party. i wanted us to play on all 50 states. i wanted us to be out in the communities. i wanted a grassroots, bottom-up party that was focused on what the people want out there. we put in place around this country a network now that you're going to see unleashed on november 2nd. >> so you'll run for re-ection? >> so, i don't know if i'll- we'll worry about my re-el

what we've done is we've taken the brand of "young guns" that fred barnes gave us to go out across thecountry and find candidates willing to challenge democrats based upon principles that would solve problems. because you're right, we talk about the wrong policies of the democrats but we also talk about the wrong policies that the republicans have and why they got fired. so we look for candidates that maybe have not been elected before but have been successful in their own community and their own business to come to washington to change it. to solve a problem because for too long problems are not being solved. >> suarez: so will there be a hot debate inside the republican caucus if you have a majority in the next congress? >> yes, i do think that the overwhelming number of newly elected members come january '11 will be members seeking reform. seeking to change the way that washington does business, change the way washington looks after taxpayer dollars. i mean, after all, that is a central tenet in the tea party movement today as well as most inspects, democrats and republicans across

fred barnes from stand stand. a.b. stoddard, hill. and sindcated columnist charles krauthammer.about this? >> that is quite an admission. year-and-a-half and half a trillion dollars later he says things i talk about endlessly don't exist. it's not surprising he doesn't know a shovel ready project doesn't exist. having never worked in the private sector he wouldn't sure what a project is and there isn't shovelling in harvard lawsuit school. this is up with of the greatest oops in american history. hard for a democrat saying you support $1 trillion offered by a president who didn't know this wouldn't happen? and that is probably why. since they expected it would eeffect unemployment and didn't this is the reason why. the other is worse. he said he ended up looking like a tax-and-spend democrat. obama and his staff really think this is all about appearances and communication. that he isn't a tax and spend democrat, but he didn't communicate it or the vice president said it's too hard to explain; meaning, that the american electorate is too thick to understand it. he is a tax-and-sp

fred barnes, executive editor of "weekly standard."gs eder to of "roll call" and julie mason, from "washington examiner." welcome to all of you. julie, let me ask you. is there anything to this? >> you can see where this was probably discussed behind the scenes but this administration talk about a lot of things. they kick around a lot of ideas. that doesn't mean it is going to happen. i believe them, i don't think it's going to. among other things when you look at obama's leadership style, he's not one for the big grand gesture. this would be a dramatic shake-up, a huge move. that's not the kind of president he is. he doesn't do bold things like that. >> shannon: erin, would the vice president go along with this? what would it take to convince him to step aside? >> the other thing i think is interesting is would biden be a good secretary of state? this is a guy who is prone to the gaffe. at a time when we're dealing with major issues on the international scale. iran, afghanistan. mideast peace. i'm not sure a swap is even in the cards.

that says this whole case where gingrich and coulter and fred barnes and i and a bunch of others. our message is you don't have to throw adjectives, you don't have to throw personal negatives. all you have to do is accurately describe their voting record. there's a broad public consensus that the stimulus isn't working, obamacare is destructive. if we raise our sights and we don't settlement for a 40, 50, 60 seat gain we could not only gain in congress we can wipe out an entire generation of democratic congressmen. >> sean: one of the things that you are really good at is writing campaign ads. if you were to write -- i think the story is similar around the country. these candidates i was referring to earlier, anywhere between 96 and 99% of the time they vote with the leadership and president obama, so give us the perfect campaign ad. what would it be? >> well, i'll tell you one that i wrote for christine o'donnell, i don't know if she is going to run it, i think it is great. i start with a -- rick wilson helped me with this. i start with a black castle and witches and goblins and

it's been summed up by fred barnes in an op-ed piece. mr. steelend the relative rnc, many congressional republicans and governors no longer trust mr. steele as their spokesman they tend to work around the rnc rather than engage mr. steele. are you irrelevant? >> no, i'm not irrelevant. and god bless fred rnes. if he only called me and talked with e, i would have shared with him some very interesting information. it's easy to write that without knowledge and, clearly, he is without knowledge here. the fact of the matter is, number one, we have been outraged recently, recently by the democrats, because they have the white house, the congress and thesenate. we don't. yet in 2009, we out-raised the democrats in seven out of eleven months. we're keeng pace with the democrats right now. i really appreciate the question. i've said from the very beginning, i would be a fferent kind of chairman, because this is a different time for us, for our party. i wanted us to play on all 50 states. i wanted us to be out in the cmunities. i wanted a grassroots,
