how do you avoid a sweep if you're kay hagen. how do you avoid a sweep if you're david pryor?re asking the entire electorate in your state to say yes to a democrat in the year people don't feel like doing that. >> i think it's hard for democrats to hold on to the senate. but we're not set yet. a lot of things can happen in six months. if you just have a year that's not that great for democrats, but not truly a wave year, then you could see some of these senators hang on. although these were -- senators elected in 2008. barack obama was a big boost to them. it's been clear to them for at least four years that's not going to be a case when they're running for this next term. they've had time to distance themselves from the president on issues. >> some states have made an investment in some of these people. begich is second generation. the families have become part of the fabric of those states. they can get through the wind. your thoughts? >> there's two ways of looking at it. i think republicans would essentially say, sure there are name, but that's not going to help them in st

hagen looked into what happened and her past at cbs news."toxic" to describe her. hagen reports that "logan's return appears less and less certain." some people at cbs say there is still a plan for her to come back on the air and it could happen soon. but i think this magazine story will create even more uncertainty about that. cbs has declined to comment and the story will come online tonight and in print tomorrow. i have more reliable sources for you right after the break. very well fitting dentures.have i like to eat a lot of fruits. love them all. the seal i get with the super poligrip free keeps the seeds from getting up underneath. even well-fitting dentures let in food particles. super poligrip is zinc free. with just a few dabs, it's clinically proven to seal out more food particles so you're more comfortable and confident while you eat. a lot of things going on in my life and the last thing i want to be thinking about is my dentures.

even kay hagen is ahead by two, but she's had $12 million of unanswered commercials against her. and she hasn't even begun to put on her positives or go after her opponent whoever it's going to be negatives. so i think if you look -- this is how it always is. nationally it looks better for republicans right now. mainly because middle class incomes are declining. what we talked about here. and the public is sour. >> all right. >> but state by state looks much better for us. we will keep the senate. >> texas governor rick perry -- i want you to stay for this one -- has been mentioned among potential 2016 contenders. >> good luck. >> is being candid about -- my god. senator schumer. >> last time i checked, he's not on any rolls in republican primaries. rick perry is just fine. he talked about his disappointing bid for 2012. but he also suggested the door is far from closed for a political comeback. >> you ran in 2012. a lot of people thought that was a botched effort on your part. how do you get a second look now? >> i would tend to agree with them on the botched effort side of it.

he will face democratic senator kay hagen this fall. with results still coming in.ooks like tillis will beat the 40% threshold to avoid the run-off. endorsed by jeb bush, mitt romney and mitch mcconnell. biggest opponent was the tea party candidate who doesn't believe in public education. republicans need to within this seat if they want to have a credible chance of taking back the u.s. senate. it is good for the establishment that they have their candidate. well, not necessarily. here is why. as speaker of the republican house. tillis had a legislative jenn the inspiration for the moral monday protests as you may remember. thousand of people pro testing out in the streets and in churches week after week. as tillis led the first republican controlled legislature in north carolina in 140 years to pass tax cuts for the wealthy, voter i.d. laws and new abortion restrictions. they also blocked medicaid expansion. today, kay hagen's campaign sent around this video of tillis from 2011. >> what why have to do is find a way to divide and conquer the people who are on the as

that's where democrat kay hagen, who is in serious danger of losing her seat this fall is trying to pick her opponent too. she wants that opponent to be greg brannon and it's easy to say why. he opposes abortion even in the cases of rape and inseft. he talked about the second amendment possibly extending to ownership of nuclear weapons. he also said that the supreme court has zero power of enforcement. so that's just a taste of greg brannon. that is the republican establishment's worst nightmare in north carolina. he is someone who could cost them a senate seat they would otherwise be very competitive to win. so of course the guy that the republican establishment does want to win tomorrow's primary is not greg brannon, he's a man named tom tillis. he's the speaker of the north carolina house of representatives. he's got the backing of north carolina's republican governor, the backing of jeb bush and as of today he's picked up the backing of mitt romney. all big republican establishment figures. he is who republican -- the republican establishment thinks is their best shot of beating kay

kay hagen doesn't have the sort of built in support that has been cultivated over decades of representing state in the same way that someone like pryor has and for good measure she's more fend on the the new coalition of democrats that doesn't show up in midterms. >> you know, there's been a lot of talk about how the national narrative, people's views about obama care and the president, how that would may a huge role in these midterm races, but we're actually seeing what's most important to voters is the individual candidate and frs read highlights that in their piece this morning. that is especially present in a state like georgia. we were just there. when you look at the open senate seat, for example, it's an example of the tea party versus the gop establishment, and we're seeing the more conservative candidates in a poll that krystal just mentioned, and they're struggling to gain the support that many people thought they would. chuck todd had jim galway on from the atlantic journal constitution. here's what he said about it. >> it's the tea party just not as strong in georgia as it is

candidates, each backed by a potential top tier presidential candidate in 2016 are vying to take on kay hagen. the primary contest has become a microcosm of what the party's 2016 presidential primaries are shaping up to be. the establishment faction of the gop, represented by jeb bush and mitt romney is backing north carolina house speaker tom tillis, hoping to kel h cut off another tom achen candidate. the man they're worried is greg brannon being backed by rand paul and wants to force tillis into a runoff. and mike huckabee is backing fellow minister mark harris. alice stew wrart is a former adviser to the presidential campaigns of mike huckabee, michelle bachmann and rick santorum. we've got to go to alice first. it's an inside game for you. my question is, how does this thing work? if tillis wins, does he bring the tea partier wing, does he bring in the christian right? do they all join him for the general against kay haguen? or is this going to be a schism in the party that lasts? >> no. he will unite them just as he has done as speaker. the fact that he's labelled as the establishment c
