"today" show and chief legal correspondent savannah guthrie, editor of "the national review," rich lowry, and columnist for "the washington post" eugene robinson. >>> good morning. you can imagine health care is all anyone's talking about in washington. well, that was the case until late friday night when this ferocious storm came through so suddenly in the mid-atlantic area, the ohio valley, west virginia and it has reeked so much half vehicle throughout the region, 2 million people without power, so much damage in neighborhoods up and down the coast. as i say in the ohio valley as well. we're monitoring that as so many people are still without per. meantime, health care is going to reverberate beyond this weekend as we get closer into the campaign, and that's why we want to dedicate the hour to it. on friday i sat down with the top democrat in the house, nancy elcome to "meet the press." >> welcome to the capitol. >> thank you for having us here. >> thank you. >> we are in full view of the supreme court, which has spoken on health care. is the fight over? >> as far as we're concerned,

rich lowry, all these under 50% which tells you how tight the race is. >> still very close.l for romney. maybe those bain ads are biting. but factcheck.org and "the washington post" fact checker looked at these ads and found they're gross distortions using an outside -- >> a gross distortion in a campaign ad? never heard the in politics. >> i think romney has to go to more substance, to get off his business background a little bit. i think their basic template in the romney campaign is the christy corzine race in '09. christie didn't give any details, just said let me get my handle around this problem and he depended oncor sine being so unpopular in new jersey. i don't think that's a good template for that race. obama is not corzine. it's a default strategy. not good enough. ? >> is the house contempt vote, the full vote in the house to hold the attorney general in contempt, this was the reaction that congressman steny hoyer, leading democrats outside the capitol as they all walked out during the contempt vote saying shame on you. just political theater, savannah? >> well, l

and also a disaster when you think about rich lowry, the editor of the "national review," someone who's been pretty critical of romney, and has been throughout the primaries, bill kristol, all these guys, and rick perry and ron paul, no love lost there, all these guys were never really satisfied with romney as candidate. so it kind of indicates to me as the campaign goes on, they're not going to be willing to just back him up when they disagree with him. i was recalling rich lowry back in march said that romney was not going to win the would you have a beer with him contest with obama, he wouldn't even win the, would you have a chocolate milk with him contest. so these are guys who have been critical of romney. and i think frankly some of them in their heart of hearts would be just as fine with seeing him lose this time around and getting their dream chris christie candidate or whoever it is in 2016. >> let's listen to what one of the questions "national review" -- before they released their editorial, they released an interview they had done with them. so one of the questions they aske

that infrastructure that those roads and bridges should i use the word those but in any case rich lowry and the conservative national review wrote for that most american figure of the self-made man exemplified most famously by benjamin franklin and abraham lincoln president obama wants to substitute the figure of the guy who happened to get lucky while not paying his fair share in taxes. you know it's really interesting that lowery and twisting the president's words would invoke the names of ben franklin and abraham lincoln ben franklin was so dedicated to the idea that we're all in this together that we need a government infrastructure to make it possible for people like him to be successful but he created the post office he helped organize the american revolution he edited jefferson's declaration of independence and he famously said at its signing if we do not hang together we shall all surely hang separately lincoln had some very specific thoughts on the topic as well he in july first eight hundred fifty four he wrote most governments have said some men are too ignorant and vicious t

rich lowry joins us editor of the national review and fox news contributor.at all of this and the fact that both campaigns are focusing on this comment, what does it tell you about where we are going and how significant this might be? >> it's a sign that the obama administration must be seeing some indication, some polling that really shows that this cuts, because they are playing major defense. they are up with ads saying this is taken out of context. and i think they also just realized just how jarring that statement is to the ears of most americans. the american tradition is we honor the individual and the individual's success and effort above all else and then we get to the other things. this was slipping the order of that. and it blows away the whole con seat of obama's presidency, this whole political case for himself is i'm a moderate, pragmatic guy, i don't liken creased regulations, i haven't increased spending so much. then you have to statement that sounds so left wing. martha: it's interesting when something touches a nerve, you never know what th
