nicole, i thought this was interesting, bill maher said this yesterday, he has been wall-to-wall coverages. whether it's bad coverage or good coverage or assessing, he is even more of a household name than he was before. i'm not saying it's positive but it doesn't hurt to have his name out there. >> the other thing and this to me it the most interesting. he is having his moment to sort of exercise all of these demons in full view of the media. if he decides to run for president and if he survives the brutal republican primary pros eshs he will be able to say to everyone that this issue was exhausted, it was beaten to death. the national media will pay much more attention to this for much longer than the people of new jersey. >> so chris christie and i -- one of the things we've said is you've either been around po politics or you haven't. one of the things that struck us is you didn't realize. it was all new to him. >> you go you can tell -- >> you can't get that excited about meeting bruce springsteen. >> or you guys. >> let me make my point because it is important, i want to get it all

william maher who i think is here, right? wrote a book, "the divided democrats." a really important book and one that we were thinking about when we were doing this research. but even more recently then, the divided democrats book, howard dean. when he was running for president -- which is, you know, within the last ten years -- he said that he represented the democratic wing of the democratic party. that's a reference to this ideological split between the moderate democrats and the more liberal faction of the political -- of the democratic party. so, you know, it's the democrats who have been long divided. so in light of the recent developments where we've been talking about republican divisions more so perhaps than the democratic divisions, we wanted to ask a few questions. are republicans, specifically tea party and establishment republicans, really as divided as some recent popular accounts suggest? how deep are the traditions and what issues and other political considerations divide the two factions. and then also how divided are republicans compared to democ
