kasich's kill early voting law as well. ohio secretary of state confirming today that the more than 300,000 valid signatures submitted to recall johnaw in ohio are sufficient to put that issue on the ballot for recall in november. that means the law is on hold until it can be voted on, which means early voting is saved in highway for the presidential election next year, and it means that ohios will be voting on whether they want to repeal john kasich's kill early voting law on the same day they will be voting for president. and if this next ohio effort to overturn a john kasich law brings out anywhere near the enthusiasm that the last one did, president obama and vice president biden will probably be really psyched to be sharing a ballot with the latest opportunity for ohio voters to tell john kasich what they think of him. >>> best new thing in the world today, this is the george washington bridge are, connects new york city to ft. lee, new jersey, the most heavily used vehicular bridge in the world, millions driving over the decks every year. it's a suspension bridge so those two decks of road are hung from suspender cables which

in ohio, governor john kasich with collective bargaining. they really don't listen or look at the polls. and that's a good thing and a bad thing. look, the good thing about it is that these individuals are very pure. they know exactly what they believe. but the bad side about that is that there's no compromise or middle of the road thinking and taking into consideration other people's points of view. so it really is a mixed bag there. we'll see what p has in wisconsin and we'll also see what happens in ohio. people like leaders who stand up for what they believe in but also like leaders who are able to listen and compromise as well and look at ronald reagan as someone who was able to stick with his beliefs and also go into a compromise as well. >> karen, we have two months until we see this fight again in washington and the gop has time to improve now. are there any fears that the victory for the democrats might be short lived? >> i think those on the left, democrats are hoping that it doesn't. we're hoping that the lesson that was learned o
