think about the number of times, it's true, when you think about joe lieberman, right? it's sort of like we hate the fact that we need him, but the truth is we need him to caucus with the democrats to get us to the numbers we need to get to be in the majority. i think with regard to ben nelson specifically, while obviously him voting for the health care legislation and certain other things, you mentioned 82% is helpful, i don't think the math actually changes all that will much either for the democrats or the republicans in the d sec or the nrsc. in that, i think the republicans were expecting this was going to be a pickup for them. i think it was always going to be a hard seat for democrats. the one thing in the math that i think is potentially helpful is that we've got ben nelson sitting on $3 million that could be used towards whoever the democrat might be. i think it may be an ugly republican primary. i still think it's going to be a very tough seat for democrats to hold on to, and it means we've got to start looking other places and not just worrying and thinking w

reason that the mavericks in the senate get so much attention, joe lieberman, john mccain is sometime their way from party ideology? >> they are behaving in ways that make them stand out from the general patterns, the kind of general patterns the book focuses on. so that makes them interesting. >> do we pay too much attention to those? >> to the extent it obscures what's really going on in the senate, then yes, we do. one thing that you find in the book is that would probably pay too much attention to social issues, abortion and gay-rights and affirmative action, as a window into understanding partisan conflict in congress. partisan conflict is much more about economic issues. and, in fact, the social issues produce less reliable partisan cleavages than economic issues, and then the good government issues that i just mentioned, you know, the scandals and investigations produce more reliable partisan ships than the social issues do. it to the extent we explain party polarization by reference to the hot button questions, we are missing the boat. it's so much more about differences in id

help him they really didn't want to he really had no friends on either side left except maybe joe lieberman it lends truth to harry to harry truman's advice to democrats in one hundred fifty two when he said the people don't want to phone a democrat if it's a choice between a genuine republican and a republican and democrats clothing the people will choose the genuine article every time that is they will take a republican before they will take a phony democrat and i don't want any phony democratic candidate candidates in this campaign. rush limbaugh of all people shared with the country how the people of nebraska feel about ben nelson's betrayal of his own party and his own state. nebraska senator ben ben nelson and his wife were leaving dinner at a new pizza joint near their home in omaha one night last week when when a customer there began complaining about nelson's decisive role in the vote on the senate health care bill other customers started booing a woman yelled get the hell out of here the nelsons in their dining companions then beat a hasty retreat it was but despite truman's take

before nelson you had kohl of wisconsin, akaka from hawaii, bingaman, webb, conrad, joe lieberman allthem bowed out. how many of those six democrats -- how many of these seats are vulnerable. >> quite a few. it tells you why republicans have a good chance of taking back the senate. perhaps the most vulnerable are nebraska and north dakota mainly because of their red state nature. they're very republican-leaning states. >> i guess in nebraska unless they can convince former senator bob kerrey to run, there doesn't seem to be a nebraska democrat who can really make that seat competitive. >> that's right. and democrats say he is considering a run -- >> oh, he is? >> but we'll believe it when we actually see it. it's not a sure thing that he would actually end up running after his absence from politics for quite a while now. >> six dropouts, twice the number of republican dropouts. already those numbers are putting the democrats at a disadvantage. is there any good news out there for democrats? >> well, chris, probably the best news for democrats is that this ben nelson news really doesn'

joe lieberman is sort of hard to read. was he ever really a democrat? i don't know. but, so going around and actually doing these endorsements in 1936 and 1940 and i think in this way that is incredibly outspoken and vicious, i mean he makes this speech in 1936 where he's accusing the new deal and f.d.r. themselves, as i mentioned earlier, of being communists, socialists. he picks up the most vitriolic new deal language. he calls roosevelt a tyrant, says he's abusing the constitution and becomes one of the standard-bearers of the liberty league, basically a business funded -- really funded by the dupont family, a group founded in the 1930's to attempt to push back the new deal. it really is a puzzling, puzzling moment in his career. people who have tried to trace, well, he always had these platforms, he believed in state power, not federal power, or he had a more limited view of government, but i just don't think that those are answers. i think he went through something personally at that point and his circle in new york as he becomes head of the empire state buildin

joe lieberman said, question add but this, he said it is true when it comes to israel's security, presidentn very strong. so i think the evidence points to united states/israel strong ties there. the evidence also points to president obama rallying international support for strong sanctions against iran, something that israel is supporting indeed. >> alex, you are in a state where the jewish vote can be a swing constituency. does it matter? >> president obama should be campaigning for swing votes. ever since a special election in new york for congress not long abow where the democrats lost a good portion of the jewish vote, it's clear that president obama has problems there. only 22% of voters in israel say that they're happy with the work the administration is doing in the middle east. voters here in his base, jewish voters are having problems with him. he is having problems raising money from them. it is a big problem, not just a jewish issue, an arrogance issue. we heard president obama say how hard it is not to pat himself on the back, for all the great stuff he has done. that's compara

i remember the debates between you and joe lieberman, what, 10, 11 years ago now. ordinarily civil and calm and productive one might say based on what's happening today. does the debate format need to change at all? >> what joe and i did, first of all, we liked each other and we knew each other. both of us talked about it later and we compared notes. we were ready to get down and dirty if we wanted to. what we ended up with i think is one of the best debates over in terms of a lot of exchange of views and ideas. we had a standing ovation from the audience when we finished. >> liz, at this point in things, what's more electable for the gop, a washington outsider or somebody who is per sioux received as an insider who has been around for a long time? >> well, i think that the republican party really has a range of candidates who have put forth the notion that the private sector is the range of the economy, barack obama's record is abysmal both on foreign policy and on economic policy. so i think any of these people that end.with our nomination are going to be in a bet

here's connecticut senator and committee chairman joe lieberman on that. the united states military has become a direct target of violent islamist extremism here in the united states. martha: this is a troublesome trend to be sure and chief intelligent correspondent cath catherine herridge is live for us on capitol hill. hello catherine. >> reporter: a congress at research service, lawmakers testified today that since 2001 there have been 33 alleged plots against the u.s. military domestically and 70 percent have occurred since june 2009 representing a significant spike. >> american service members and their families are increasingly in the terrorists' scope and not just overseas in traditional war settings, so that the premise of this hearing, this joint hearing, is not theoretical. it is based on fact. >> reporter: and from both sides of the aisle senior lawmakers called on the obama administration to recognize that you can't talk about the threat without talking about religion. they say it should specifically be called the threat of islamist extremism.

let's bring in another man who always gets a lot of national attention, independent senator joe liebermane chairman of the senate homeland security and governmental affairs committee. we have budget things we want to talk to you. >> good morning to you, martha. good to be bact back with you. martha: does it shock you when you hear chris christie talk like that. >> he was at a partisan event, a event of republican governors. i say a couple things. governor chris they're expressing i hear it, most americans feel with the total lack of leadership in washington from both parties and both the executive and the legislative branch. i think the most important thing that we could do here is to get together across party lines and begin to solve some of the big problems we face. obviously the economy and jobs is number one. right next to it is cutting back the debt. i'm again involved in some discussions with members of both parties to see if we can get back to the simpson bowles, the president's own fiscal commission recommendation about bipartisan recommendation about how to get our government bac
