here to make their case, tim fern holtz, writer fellow and blogger for the american prospect and tim editor. tim, first to you, somebody suggest wes should bury obamacare with ted kennedy, how can that possibly, possibly help the republican party? >> i think you got to it in your earlier segment on joe wilson, conservative activists do provide a lot of money for the party and mobilization n the broader country, the people want to respect the office of the president. you saw it last august during the presidential campaign that barack obama, then the candidate, his popularity improved as john mccain's was more and more associated with these fringe groups. sarah palin rallies and throughout. so, i think just like with joe wilson's outburst during the president's health care speech last week, most people look at that and they say the republican party isn't really bringing anything substans to the table, more about yelling at opposition than trying to solve problems. i think ultimately it will hurt the republican. >> tim carney, also this reputation now that the right-wing fringe tends to

so coach holtz, what would you say to the buckeyes? >> coach tressel, this is what i would say.an, i'm excited. we're going to play the university of spoiled children better known as u.s.c. we have a tradition of winning here at ohio state. but that tradition has been tarnished recently and we bought five straight games. i'm not going to documenting our disappointing performance but that has to change. the one thing we cannot do is be intimidated whether it be in football or in life. i learn that had from woody hayes. we're playing southern cal in the rose bowl for the national championship. they had a back named o.j. simpson. i coached a defensive back, he better not score a touchdown. in the second quarter o.j. takes the hand-off on their own 20-yard-line. goes 80 yards for a touchdown. i'm up in the press box, woody hayes on the sidelines. i go in the locker room at halftime, the first thing that happened he came running up to me, strategically played his left hand on my jugular vein and squeezed about that big. he really meant me no physical harm. he just wanted to be sure h
