joining me now is howard dean.k you for taking the time to speak with me today. >> thanks for having me on. i particularly like that you have the power that the president talked about. that was from 2004. >> indeed. indeed. governor dean, let's talk a little bit about the ground game here. there's been a lot of analysis in the month and days leading up to this in terms of number of field offices, as i mentioned, 125 to 40 in terms of offices in ohio. the obama campaign says it has reached 125 million people on the ground and it's being reported that romney's campaign has only reached 50 voter since the spring. that is a disadvantage, is it not? >> it's a very important advantage. i think the republicans are doing better than they did in the ground game but nobody has done this better than the obama campaign, i think in political history. i do expect we're going to win. i do expect we're going to win iowa and ohio and that should do it. >> let's listen to what speaker of the house john boehner, who of course is from

howard dean was not heard from again. governor dean became an also ran very quickly.t seemed like he had a lot of the big mo. i remember eight years ago being with both john kerry and president bush on the final weekend. the polls indicated that kerry, the challenger, was closing fast and was in fact ahead of him. in the final weekend, osama bin laden issued a call to jihad against the united states. it flipped. people decided they want to stay with the national security team that they had in place. and john kerry lost that election. i've done a lot of things in the last year. i went to antarctica which was phenomenal. i must have seen by actual count at least 1 million penguins. i went kayaking. i took a dive into the arctic sea, antarctica sea. >> what did you see? >> it was not very long. i was in and out. it was electric shock treatment. i did a tough biking trip in mayorca. my wife and i have been married for 50 years. so we took our family and two other families who had similar celebrations to a wonderful resort in tuscany and had a great italian summer. i spent

howard dean my former boss was honest about the fact we were trying to imlate a lot of those concepts and ideas. we had a superior campaign and candidate. but also when you talk about the amount of spending, the amount of outside money your organization and others spent against this president and against some of our candidates like a sherrod brown who was outspent 3 to 1 and still prevailed says a lot about the strength of our message and the inadequacy of trying to use anger points to motivate people, trying to use hate to motivate people and having a message about this country and inclusive of everyone. >> six of the eight candidates you supported did lose along with mitt romney. foster frieze said too much money was spent on advertising. donald trump tweeted that karl rove should be fired. did you make mistakes in how you spent the money? >> i want to address something that karen said. i don't know of any ads that were hateful. go and look at them on our youtube channel. that's a lot of spin right over there. on the senate side, we did and i'll be the first person to admit have pro

i used it simply because that was a howard dean expression thrown out.i said is john mccain, 90% of his votes were christian and 90% were white. and white folks in this country who are voting, 90% of all the votes are down close to 70% and have you to get larger and charge larger share of them in order to win. one point, if mitt romney won almost as large a share of the white vote as ronald reagan did. if the country had the same demography at 1980 and 84, romney would be president. >> sean: what do you think of that analysis? >> i mean, that's like wishful happening, it is not reality. the suggestion, i think this is what got pat in trouble is that somehow, it's only a real america if it's overwhelmingly white in terms of the electorate or the population. again, that's just, you know, looking back to the 1950s. the reality is that in yesterday's election, you look at the latino population, as a share of the vote twent from 9% in 2008, now up to 10 percent. 70% for obam a. black population, 90% for obam a. asian population, plus 50 for obama. this is rea

unemployment rate went up to 7.9%, fair and balanced, angela mcglowan and former spokesman for howard dean's campaign. thank you ladies for being here, welcome. >> thank you for having us. >> uma: angela, let me begin with you about the jobs report. the fact that we have added more jobs is a hopeful sign, but for many people it's too little too late. >> you're exactly right, uma, a little too little, too late from the standpoint when people go to the polls, are you better off today than you were four years ago, and with women, the unemployment rate has gone up. amongst blacks in september the unemployment rate in the black community was 13.4%, and uma, now it's at 14.3%, in the hispanic community it's increased and i can go on and on and on and the reason why mitt romney has closed the gender gap with president obama amongst women because women care about the economy and jobs, though more jobs were created with the jobs report and 7.9%, below 8%, still, people are out of work. >> let's talk about the 7.9% number. it's certainly not good news and something that's very discouraging to a lot of

done so -- i would say revolutionary but built on a lot of things that came before it from the howard deanaign the republicans in '04 with the micro targeting and narrow cast and you saw big contrast this time around. mitt romney talking about the economy broadly. versus barack obama talking to individual groups about what he could do for them. whether it was women on rights whether it was latinos with the executive order essentially implementing parts of the dream act. you know if you look at the various groups gays and also do not -- don't ask don't tell being repelled and other things and so i think there's a big contrast there. >> thanks so much for us. >> take care. >>> next up big doings for the do-nothing congress. with america on the fiscal cliff, sorry, will washington elect to make the tough choices?

howard dean said, let's all fall off the fiscal cliff.on for two quarters. >> he said let's fall off the fiscal cliff. his point is it would do something fundamental. >> it would put millions of people out of work. it would close factries. it would kill towns. >> some have said do it. let's everybody learn the lesson. pay the high price. >> politically speaking, do we learn lessons -- >> if that's accurate. >> do i trust you. that's irresponsible. by the way, michele bachmann who was fighting for her political career said it would be good if we defaulted on our national debt. so you have really irresponsible positions taken by these extremists. if you look at the book last year, political scientists, it is not the american people. it is the republican base. if you do care compromise, you will lose your job. dick lugar should win the peace price. >> he didn't have a house in his state. >> he compromised. >> look at bob bennett. >> look at joe lieberman. >> joe got reelected. >> he got kicked out of the democratic party. >> you're supposed

. >> howard dean last night here on cnbc was encouraging the fiscal cliff., hey, we've got to solve the deficit. do it. let's go over it. how bad would it be for the markets? how bad would it be for the economy? >> i would ask questions like that and say, it kind of depends on your time frame and what you mean by bad. there's short-term bad that has long-term good and short-term bad that has long-term good. and i think you want the answers to be given. is the united states going to cut the government or is it going to pay for the government? this question really has to be answered. the sooner it gets answered -- >> we have to figure it out. >> that's the case with all of these asset purchases and financi financi financing schemes in europe. >> josh brown, you have a question? >> i was curious, you raised quite a bit of cash sometime around the midpoint of this year. i think you're close to 18 or 19%. what are the things you're looking for or the sign posts that would tell you, hey, this is what we've been looking for, let's allocate a bit more to whatever yo

we need to copy what howard dean did and that is make our ground game in all 50 states. >> imagine thatame in all states. novel idea. what about your role? >> we need to move the convention back to june or july so our nominee gets picked. then can begin raising money for the general election and doesn't get outspent. >> outspent? this coming from a man who dropped $300 million? okay, but what about the conservative media coverage that falsely hyped up romney? >> the number of debates we had was jaw-dropping. most of the time we had some liberal media figure whose intention was to depict the republican party and conservatives as some kind of nut fringe group. >> that's the ticket. when in doubt, blame the liberal media. if i lost $300 million, i guess i would come up with excuses, too. >>> joining me now, host and producer of "hawk post live" and nia malika henderson from the washington post. thank you both for being here. >> thank you very much. >> great to be here. >> abby, is rove just making excuses? >> he said it. we lost because of the date of the convention. can you believe it? it
