thank you. >> miss hamby? >> i am the neighbor across the street, i live by the unit and the master building faces this and i was born and raised in the western neighborhood in a time when many were board bored of that. the property management issues and increased costs in the safety issues created by this bliet are tremendous and numerous security issues time and time again in the evenings. and our whole neighborhood agrees with this project, the developer has been wonderful to deal with in addressing all of our concerns because we want a historic neighborhood and they have been transparent and we need to remember that we live in an environmental matter, right now the climate is good and i can tell you that these will sell quickly and if the unique thing is too difficult for this developer, we risk them walking away and ending up with the building and skaf fording because the retail markets are not right and i can't urge you strongly enough. there is no one in this room or city more impact and we are on board

peter hamby, thank you so much. >>> i want to bring in our political panel to talk about this. a little more detail. a cnn contributor and op-ed columnist. donna brazile. jonathan martin is the national political correspondent for "the new york times." jonathan, let me start with you. how in the world is jesse benton staying on as campaign manager? he said he's holding his nose. >> right. i think this episode illustrates two important elements in modern america politics. the first one is, the rise of a super staffer in the case of benton who as peter mentioned is is married to the granddaughter of ron paul. he's got leverage here because the fact is, mitch mcconnell, veteran u.s. senator, the senate minority leader, needs this staffer badly. because he's a bridge to rand paul and the paul universe. mitch mcconnell already has a primary opponent on the right. he cannot afford to alienate the paul world by dumping the staffer overboard he would do just that. it's a remarkable illustration of the role of a super staffer now in american politics. the other big point it illustrates,
