i think it even began before that with libya stuff where you saw, you know, john mccain and lindsey graham trying to push a hawkish approach and a lot of republicans not being very comfortable with that. you know, these -- the divide has happened on the domestic side. i'm not sure if it's going to be as pronounced and if you're going to see a full-scale swing. i don't know if you're going to see, for instance, mitch mcconnell and john cornyn, for instance, jump into the nsa camp. i do think you are seeing more and more old republicans and older republicans and folks that are just sort of rank and file guys in the house and the senate start to lean that way. >> and, finally, my political question for you is this. it seems to me that peter king is basically functioning as a chris christie stalking horse surrogate. we know that's the part of the party peter king identifies himself with. christie and paul are intense over these issues. seems to me peter king is standing in for christie in waging this fight. >> actually, that's interesting. i think they clearly are the sort of the northeastern
