digest what happened and trying to figure out exactly what went wrong and i love this quote from haley barbersays we've got to give our political organizations a very serious probablictology exam. >> it appears to me that 3 million fewer votes were cast for mitt romney than for john mccain, it tells the party is splintered, it doesn't know if it's down ride conservative or the middle establishment or we really, they really need to find this, and remember this, that the tea party was born april 15th, 2009 on the heels of taxed enough already. every time you would talk to a tea party representative or person, any one of the groups and ask them, taxes, i get. what about social issues, what about contraceptive. they didn't want it talk about it. they want toed to talk about the social issues and somehow the democrats attached the social issues to the tea party. >> and bob, you have familiarity with that. >> what the heck. >> not obviously republican and democrats have shared losses over time and it's normal, right, for a party to go through a little self-examination and figure out where they're d

millions of people in this country that don't want to work, end quote and former mississippi governor haley barber suggesting the republican party as a whole needs to do some soul searching. >> we've got to give our political organizational activity, you know, a very serious proctology exam. we need to look everywhere is the point. >> he was trying to decide whether to go forward with the analogy and he did. for now mitt romney isn't pointing to any major missteps of his own insisting his team ran a superb campaign. >>> meanwhile, as new york recovers from hurricane sandy, president obama vows to revisit the worst hit areas until the damage is fully repaired. in his first trip to the state since the storm, the president took a helicopter tour of the devastation including the rockaways and breezy point which you might recall roughly 100 homes were burned in a massive fire and landed in staten island and the president met with storm victims, many of whom are still without power. >> i promise to everybody that i was speaking on behalf of the country when i said we are going to be here until the rebui

. >> there are three random thoughts i hope makes some sense, one is haley barber. has said if he doesn't watch out. he's going to be made the candidate, just a wealthy plutocrat. and finally, the embrace, which i think sean talked about of chris christie made a very big difference in how obama is perceived, and perceived as the president. >> we're going to send it across the room to laura evans. >> thanks guys. just for people who may be wondering, what's has beening behind the scenes right now? is the president speaking with the romney camp right now? they're working who is going to speak first? >> i would imagine mitt romney is calling the president, congratulating him. the tradition is that mitt romney will come out first. then obama would wait, and then he would give his speech. that's what i imagine is going on right now. >> we're taking a look at what is happening in chicago. supporters wait for him to come to the stage, which will happen well after romney gives his concession speech. we were talking about president obama being reelected to another four years

haley barber explaining the behavior of the governor in simple terms. >> the relationship between thet, whether it is president obama or romney, has just begun. it will go on for years and years. the easy stuff is what we are dealing with now. the complicated decisions, federal government, christie would have been a fool to poke his finger in obama's eye. when they are your partner for years, you know, you are praised in public and criticize in private. that's what ways taught. >> michael, that's what you said. >> right. and the fact that they are criticizing publicly speaks how bone-headed and ignorant they are. it is outing an agenda, giving cover in case the election doesn't turn out, they can look at christie and say, you stopped the governor's momentum and all this praise. so disconnected from reality. look, the governor is doing what the governor needs to do. governor haley is absolutely right. i know we had it deal with hurricanes and blizzards in lair land. we looked to the federal government and our partners around the country who could lep us. that's what christie did, god b

changed the subject and karl rove will argue that it sort of interrupted -- i mean it was actually haley barberit interrupted mitt romney's momentum. but here is one thing that if i were on the democrats' team i would be a little bit worrieded about. and that is the turnout in places like new york, new jersey, connecticut. even though those are traditionally blue states. >> is it a handful, more than a handful, if there's thousands of people that wouldn't be able to vote because of that storm, will it have an impact? >> it's not going to change the vote in those states. but what it could do is have an affect on the national turnout and the national margin. we really two have a situation here where president obama could win the electoral college and lose the popular vote. >> what do you mean by that? i mean that it would impacted those traditionally blue states, new jersey, new york because of the storm, but it would have an impact nationally? >> because it's the national vote totals and these are some very large centers of pop laiuln that always vote heavily democratic. >> the president is argu

you've had both governor haley barber today and you had karl rove site hurricane sandy as being the thingstopped romney momentum but two, could have possibly caused mitt romney to lose the election. we all have to keep in mind that the polls show that this race is tight. even in the swing state polls the president might be leading most of them. but this race is tight. so the fact that the republicans are doing -- playing the blame game, we are not even at election day, tells you the mind-set of the gop and romney campaign. they are not terribly confident about tuesday's election results. >> but nia-malika, what candidate romney is not dealing with, most americans agree, mr. christie, governor christie, said. when you look at a brand new nbc poll, likely voters overwhelmingly say they approve of the president's handling of hurricane sandy. 67% approve. only 16% di disapprove. on top of that, in this brand new poll, majority of americans believe the economy is already turning around. 52% say we are recovering. both of these poll numbers are bad news for the republicans when they only have t

right now haley barber told greta van susteren we need a leader.d. the president has to lead. and divided government is not some automatic gridlock. when ronald reagan was president, when he had divided government, he did the reagan economic plan, social security reform. we did tax reform. we did immigration reform. when bill clinton was president, we had republican congress, democrat president. we did welfare reform. we did the first balanced budget in a generation. in each case the president led. in each case, he was willing to advocate and he was also willing to compromise. >> steve: the president of the united states did tell the leader of russia that after the election, he would be more flexible. let's hope he's -- that would apply to the republican party. maybe they can actually get a deal because clearly, social security, medicare, the entitlements, all sorts of stuff has got to be fixed for it to go on. now is the time before it's too late. >> brian: let's hope the russian don't want to sell us bayonets because the president has no interest

while republicans may have to think about how they spending their money -- rethink it -- haley barberod for the economy. he is also defending chris christie saying republicans should not blame him for romney's lost. chris christie said he just gave him credit for doing well. and points out he was the first governor to endorse mitt romney traveled tens of thousands of miles, and raised tens of thousands of dollars on his behalf. we're back after this. in romney's world, cars get the elevator and the workers get the shaft. that is a whole bunch of bunk. the powerful may steal an election, but they can't steal democracy. all across america people are using lysol in hundreds of unexpected ways to help keep their homes healthy. ben's mom uses it around the bathtub, the last place where she wants to find mold. lysol disinfectant spray kills mold and unlike clorox clean-up it's approved to keep it from growing back for up to a week. join the mission for health. see how people everywhere are using lysol disinfectant spray and share your own story on facebook. cook what you love and save your

[applause] haley barber at the republican governor's convention. >> we have to give our political organizational: listen to this guy. suspected voter fraud because dozens of black people voted. >> dozens? >> dozens? >> stephanie: the outgoing main republican party chairman. >> outgoing. >> stephanie: dozens of black people that were unfamiliar to me voted on november 6th. >> dozens of black people. >> stephanie: city officials say i don't know anybody who knows any black people in town. >> in some part of the state there were dozens of black people who voted. nobody in town knew them. >> where do "z" they come from. >> black people know in maine, too. >> stephanie: 56% of the main vote. mitt romney won 40.9%. that would mean 107,000 blacks voted illegally in little towns in maine. nicely done. nicely done, my friends. >> stephanie: i love this, what is this, progress? webster's methodology is flawed. not knowing any black people isn't evidence that they don't exist. [ laughing ] having a piece of mail bounced back does not mean that voters lied intentionally about their address. he said, let's s

. >> that is the view of jeb bush, that is the few of condoleezza rice, of haley barber, view of senatoruild a new winning coalition. >> we had picture of the white house tonight, president of course is in chicago. but there is the white house where he will be living for the next four years. it appears. he will be inaugurated on january 20th, which street named in the constitution as the date of the president's inauguration. but the inauguration parades and all the public hoopla will be january 21 because the 20th this year is on sunday. and so the president will have private inauguration on that sunday and then the big inauguration parade will be on the 21st. >> in fact our cbs cameraman john murphy reports outside lafayette park there's over a thousand students who are cheering outside of the white house this evening tonight. there has been a group of people that have gathered outside the white house. >> pelley: let's have a look at the national presidential vote map as it stands right now. several states are still out. but the election is over. the president has reached 270 electoral
