i would like to ask john haley, director of transit, to provide a snapshot of the season service including the championship games and the parade. >> thank you. mr. chairman, members of the board, we have to organizations taking people to different events that culminated on november 3. our long season got us to the playoffs. in a different way, perhaps, we were able to build on a regular season plan and meet the extraordinary demands, and participate actively in the celebration that took place on november 3. we did have a plan for the regular game season. we had extra service every day. i want to point out to the board we expanded the service, both in terms of extra rail service and extra staffing during both the division playoffs, the league championship, and the world series. i also want to point out the one major element that we operated under, if you will, or operating axiom. we will not impact our regular service. we will be able to meet the giants demands at the same time we hit our usual service. that became a challenge, if for no other reason than with the differences in time. all o

even he post election press conference was mitch mcconnell, john boehner and haley barbour. that must mean something. >> that means he's seriously thinking about running. gwen: and who else? >> yeah, on the republican side? >> sarah palin, mike huckabee. tim pawlenti. mike pence. >> we've not had a sitting member of the house elected president in this country since jamed garfield in 1880. but mike pence announced he was stepping down from the republican leadership to consider his options. gwen: and he might run for governor of indiana. there is so much going on. it's been is much fun. -- so much fun but we're going to have to leave it here and pick it up in the web cast. because before we go tonight i'd like to take a moment to salute charlie mcdowell. the richmond dispatch reporter and columnist who spent nearly 20 years at this table passed away today, suitably on a friday. he was a treasure not only to us but to those who recognized his brilliance like ken burns who used his voice for "the civil war" and "baseball." his voice just stuck in our heads. in 1991 when washingt

mitt romney, mike huckabee and newt gingrich, it goes on and on, tim pawlenty, mitch daniels, haley bar bower, johnrising she tops the list? >> you can't dismiss her. a lot of positives for her, big crowds, lots of enthusiasm, great following. the negatives for her. she could win a republican primary. she absolutely could win a republican primary. we have seen her play in republican primaries during this 2010 election. a general election is a different story. one of the big issues for her, number one, they are looking squarely at her negatives, particularly her negatives among independents. she is jun siupside down with t public at large and among independents. that's something in a general election a candidate has to do, win over independents and mod rots. could she win the general election? it's an uphill battle. why? because people look at that number on her negatives, especially with independents. >> dominico, thank for filling in the gaps. let's bring in norah o'donnell. she has a new book coming out. will that do anything to change sarah palin's negatives? >> it will, i think, further boost h

john the last four years. i have known hill barber for -- haley barbour for 20 years.are indeed humbled and ready to listen to the american people and to lead on the issues that they have clearly indicated they care about your we are determined to stop the agenda that americans have rejected an to turn this ship around. we'll work on the -- choosing the president over your constituents is not a good strategy. this election was clearly a referendum on the administration and the democratic majority here in the congress, ignoring the voters and their wishes, as you would see it during the entire two-year period produces predictable result. the health care is a metaphor for the government accept the we've witnessed over the last two years. the american people watched the government running banks and insurance companies. car companies taking over the student loan business. it became the tipping point during the course of the last two years. i would say that they may have missed the message someone. i get the impression that their view is that we have not cooperated enough.

you will hear from john kasich of ohio, nikki haley, and tom corbett of pennsylvania. we begin with comments from brian sandoval. >> thank all of you for the support you get me during the course of the campaign. it is interesting to bring of the fact that i get up my federal judgeship to run for governor of the state of nevada. that was probably the number-one question i got asked on the campaign trail. the first person to ask that question was my father. he said brian, i heard you made your decision. a-you know what you are doing. i called him back and said that, that is not quite the endorsement of was hoping for from my father. i was blessed to be the first person in history of my state to defeat a sitting incumbent governor in a primary. i was very fortunate to defeat my democratic opponent by 11 points. it came because of all your support out here in the audience. my state faces significant challenges. we didn't leave the country in unemployment -- we do leave the country in unemployment, dropout rates, and foreclosures. the second question was, why would you run

i'm going to get off stage and john fund, you're in charge. >> thanks, haley. this last midterm election featured a lot of voters who were worried about the future of the american dream. they were afraid it was slipping away from them, their children and their grandchildren. when people are worried about the future, they often react incompletely different ways than they used to. look at some of the voting patterns that we've seen. women for the first time since modern exit polling voted a plurality for a congressional republican candidates. evangelicals voted even higher numbers than normal for republican candidates, 76% but at the same time, 31% of gay americans voted republican for congress. and in quite a bit of surprise, 31% of the hispanics who now serve in the u.s. congress are hispanic. republicans. and we also have the first two african-american republican house members in over a decade. one of the reasons this has happened because many are concerned. the white working class which represents over 40% of typical electorate voted for republican congressio

the republican turn over and former fox contractor john kesack wins and state of carolina. nicky haley defeats vincent shaheen . state of wisconsin. fox news project russ feingold lost the race to ron johnson and feingold campaigned on his support for health care overhaul . he lost his seat. state of democrat. barbara boxer holds on her seat and defeated carlie fiorina. she spent more than 140 million of her own dollars to try to win the seat and goes down in defeat. nevada, one of the most important races it looks like we will not have a result at this moment. a motorist in southeast las vegas ran into a transformer and knocked out power x. nevadans will not release until everyone has a chance to vote. the numbers on your screen reflect 19 percent of the vote for the senate seat of the senate majoritiy leader harry reidi am shepard smith. the news starts now. >> it is a political drama on a national stage as we watch the race results come in. and many contests are already decided . we are still waiting for answers. about the impact of the tea party movement and weather the president h

john feehery. jonathan martin, you reported for politico, something that haley barbour had said that i want to puteen and let everybody evaluate. he told you that, quote, to defeat an incumbent president, even one that's got the political problems of this one, the rnc has to operate at absolute maximum capacity, and this year they've operated far, far below that in terms of fund-raising, in terms of grassroots' organization and in terms of building strong, self-reliant state parties. some might say michael steele deserves better than that given it the recent success of the gop. >> yeah, he definitely has his defenders and he actually still has a core of support on the rnc and there's no doubt this was a great year for republicans. what i think haley barbour and steele critics are saying is that was not because of michael steele's -- in some ways to spite michael steele because of the financial issues. that they did not raise a whole lot of money compared to more recent years. and they did not fund the vote are turnout operations because of that lack of money in some key states. so the concern amon

house speaker-to-be john boehner, senate minority leader mitch mcconnell and mississippi governor haley barbour held their event at the capitol. here are some excerpts. >> as you've heard me say last night, we are humbled by the trust that the american people have placed in us. and we recognize this is a time for us to roll up our sleeves and go to work on the people's priorities: creating jobs, cutting spending and reforming the way congress does its business. it's not what... it's not just what the american people are demanding, it's what they are expecting from us. and the real question now is this: are we going to listen to the american people? republicans have made a pledge to america, and our pledge is to listen to the american people and to focus on their priorities. and that's exactly what we're going to do. last night, the president was kind enough to call me. we discussed working together on the american peoples' priorities: cutting spending, creating jobs. and we hope that he will continue to be willing to work with us on those priorities. but as i said last night, the new ma

haley's victory in south carolina. russ feingold's defeat in wisconsin. then when they flashed at one one point that john dingell was losing, i don't think it's been called, but they flashed on the screen he has been losing, that got a big cheer. a long-time lion among the democra in the house. i just ha ju very interesting talk with one of the young rising stars among republicans in the house. that's kevin mccarthy of california. one of the so-called young guns. newshour viewers will recall perhaps that recently i think within the last couple of weeks ray suarez talked to him and eric cantor. he has sort put an interesting spin on this. he referred to this as a generational changeing election. he's talking about all the candidates who we're seeing win tonight who have no or very little electoral or governing experience. many of them young. many of them coming, he thinks, with pressure ideas. he says this signals a rude awakening for seniority in washington. i said rude awakening for both parties? he didn't want to go all that way. he said yes really, both parties need to take stock about who is coming i

john, what about sarah palin, current scorecard on the candidates she endorsed? >> reporter: well, she had some really big wins last night, diane. there was, of course, suzanna martinez, winning governorship in new mexico, nikki haley winning the governorship in south carolina, rand paul in kentucky. those were all republicans she endorsed in competitive republican primaries and went on to win and win pretty big. but there were some notable losses. first and foremost, christine o'donnell in delaware. palin defied the party leadership, endorsed o'donnell, helped her win that nomination, and she lost, and of course lost big. and the big one, diane, in her own backyard, we still don't know the results, but she supported joe miller again in defiance of the republican leadership and now if you look at that, miller is trailing behind write-in candidate, that would be lisa murkowski, but they still have to count the votes and we may have to wait to see if palin had any pull in her backyard. >> that's a long wait. thank you, jon karl. and, of course, you mentioned john boehner, anticipating becoming speaker. and, there is probably no name that emerged in this campaign more polarizing or potent than that of the current spea

--ji ou say j9i -0 john thune, you can think of him that way. haley barber, the smartest political might in the universe. people say it he isfat -- is a fat lobbyists. he is from mississippi. have you ever look to see where mississippi sit in the statistics for help, education, and income. not an ideal place to be in a presidential campaign. haley barber. he will do for the united states what he did for mississippi. i am not saying mississippi is his fault. just think of the reality of running for president and what the ads will be. who does that leave us? it leaves us the toys that someone told me -- choice someone told me he is interested in. one is mitch daniels. he worked at and a 4 senator -- for senator lugar. his is short, slight and bald. i can identify with some of that. he is not your typical politician. may be 2012 will be the year for someone short, slight and bald. he is very white. maybe he is the counterweight to barack obama. it is not clear that he is completely committed. he is a family person. his wife may not want him to run. the o

tommy thompson and john taylor had been battling each other about who could do it better. haleybob dole, and newt gingrich brokered an idea out of his office. it was not by accident that he and john boehner and mitch mcconnell talked about that. if this year is as good as we hope it is, let's make sure there's not any disconnect between washington and the state's. let the new governor's do what they're doing, and if it works, let's do it for the country. is the same thing that worked well in the mid 1990's. >> there's a specific issue where we can expect some coordination between house and the governors, and that is on the health-care issue. this is a state and federal issue. >> the white house is going to find of most of their democratic candidates for governor were campaigning on -- if i get elected governor, i will oppose obamacare. you have a democratic candidate for governor in oregon who is a doctor. he is campaigning that obama did not pass the health care bill, he passed an insurance reform bill, and if i'm elected governor, we're going to have to work with him to fix it

haley barbour and nick ayers did a great job. i'm delighted governor perry will become the new chairman again. a lot of bright new governors, good friends of mine like john kasich, scott walker in wisconsin. i think we have a chance to see a dramatic improvement in state government. tomorrow when i'm with them in san diego, i'm going to make the argument, we need move from a rejection kind of conservatism which rejects the left to a replacement model which starts to replace the institutions and the policies of the left. and the right place to do that is at the state level where they can actually get a lot done. while washington is relatively deadlocked. >> greta: let me go to michael steele many in the republican party are not anxious to have him run again. what has he done well? where has he failed? if has failed? >> michael steele has done very well in dramatically expanding republican outreach to minority communities. 37% of the members of congress who are latino are republican. the highest number in history. we have two african-american members of congress. and made real breakthroughs in other areas. we elected an all latino state ticket in new mexic

because tommy thompson and john engler had been battling each other over who could do it better in michigan and wisconsin, and so they brokered a deal in haley'sl clinton to sign it. so it was not by accident that he and john boehner and mitch mcconnell a couple months ago started talking about if this year's as good as we hope it is, let's make sure there's not any disconnect between washington and the states. let's let all these new aboves do what they've campaign -- governors do what they've campaigned on doing, and when it works really well, let's have the partnership that we can do it for the country and force the president to sign it. it's the same thing that worked so well in the mid '90s. >> host: got it and we can expect some coordination between the house and governors, and that is on the health care issue, right? because this is a state and federal issue. >> caller: it is. and what the white house is going to find, most of their democratic candidates for governor -- not just the republican candidates for governor -- were campaigning on if be i get elected governor, i'm going to pose obamacare and work to stop it. you have the democr

the senate longer, but when you say john thune you do not think of a particular policy or legislation. he could do that in the next year. he is interesting to watch. haley barbour is the strongest political mind in the universe, let alone the planet, but for president, running out of mississippi, let us leave the lobbyists side of it. haley always talks about he is a fat lobbyist. let us leave the weight issue out of it. he is from mississippi. have you looked to see where mississippi sits on the statistics in terms of health, education, and income? not exactly the ideal place to be in a presidential campaign. he will do to the united states what he does to mississippi. i am not saying haley is responsible for the state ranks on income or education. certainly not. it are preceded haley. but think of the realities of luck -- of running for president, what people would say. what does that leave us? it leaves us the choice, a republican member of congress told me the other day, of people he is particularly interested in. one is mitch daniels from indiana, who is kind of an anti- politician. if you know mitch, he was a washington figure for many years. he w

we will hear from house republican leader john boehner, mitch mcconnell, and the head of the republican governors association haley barbour. this is 15 minutes. >> we recognize this is a time for us to roll bar sleeve on the people's priorities, creating jobs, cutting spending, and reforming the way congress does its business. it is not just what the american people are demanding. it is what they are expecting from us. the real question now is this -- are we going to listen to the american people? republicans have made a pledge to america and our pledge is to listen to the american people and to focus on their priorities and that is exactly what we're going to do. last night, the president was kind enough to call me. we discussed working together. on the american people's priorities, cutting spending and creating jobs. we hope that he will continue to work with us on those priorities. as i said last night, the new majority here in congress will be the voice of the american people and i think we clearly express' that last night. we will continue and renew our efforts for a smaller, less costly, and more accountable
