marco rubio ran without a single ad. it was a stunning example of of the proliferation of information sources and the ability to communicate to large numbers of voters without doing the traditional things that we think move numbers. and it goes to steve's point that you had all these republicans and activists and marco created this national movement really all without running a single tv ad. >> steve, are we an independent problem? >> no, it's important to the internal dynamics of the republican party. >> are we an independent obstacle to bipartisan progress? and if so, a big one or a small one? >> the media -- cable-driven aligned media which is for sure. but i'm not -- i'm not making a judgment about the major -- about the major newspapers and major, you know, network news and cnn. but the cable -- the cable process is -- i don't know if it's an obstacle. it is a fact. it's how people are getting their information and that's how you have to operate. but i wouldn't rule out, you know, the fact that, you know, major stor

if you look at -- you know, there's so much written out about marco rubio.but it's important to listen to what marco says. in his victory night speech, he said, i'm paraphrasing here, it would be a mistake to embrace as the republican party. it is not. it is at best a second chance for the republican party to do the things that we said we were going to do originally. and so, you know, i think that there are leaders like him, i'm bias obviously, there are people like marco who can put a foot in each camp. he has absolute credibility on the tea party side, and he has creditability on the leadership side. he's willing to say, the republican party, we deserved to get thrown out of office. we are not being put back into power because suddenly people are in love with us. >> speaking of that, foot in both camps, a week before the election, i interviewed jeb bush in miami. he sort of struck a similar profile. he said base clay that a, center of my country. they don't like the way that obama is going. they want to change the direction. b, they want people to stop fig

marco rubio. we are proud of leadership. we believe the principles we stand for on issues of small business, entrepreneurship. trade, trade has become a partisan issue. it's a same we cannot gone through with the columbia and panama free trade. it leads verbal support. the base of the republican party is anti-trade. we think we have a message for hispanics. that the principles that they hold dear are the conservative principles that lead them to support conservative expandidates. one of the problems we're going to have at this gathering will be immediate message forum. what is it? what's wrong with our message? why aren't we getting out? we have the leadership, we believe we have the principles. the this gathering will be an opportunity to listen and reach out to that hispanic community, which is important. if you want to be a majority party, we believe we are a majority party. we have to work hard and reach out to the hispanic community. senator, on the question of hispanic vote. surged in a couple states. nevada, californi

i want to follow up on what we've been talking about as far as marco rubio.nce and i talked about it before, in 1995 newt gingrich was courageous on medicare. and we reformed medicare. we extended the life of medicare. we slowed down the rate of increase in spending. i spent the first election talking about nothing but medicare. i brutalized my opponent when he tried to decmagogued it. i said all we have to do is slow down the rate of growth for medicare. that's taking money out of their pockets in realtime, not like 80 years from now like this debt commission says. they all responded. i got like 75% of the vote. i want to ask you, mark halperin, other than marco rubio, is anybody telling the truth? >> retiring senator george lemieux of florida. >> anybody else? >> is it easier when you're retiring? >> can't they figure out that americans are adults and if you tell them the truth like george is doing and like marco is doing, you get rewarded? >> we'll see. up until now, republicans have been attacking the president for cutting medicare. in a of races i think

marco rubio won florida by 19 points. he was one of the only candidates anywhere in the country who said, if you elect me, i'm going to support changing social security. we need to talk about raising the retirement age. we need to talk about means testing for benefits. all of these things that you're never supposed to mention. he talked about those. it was, -- it was in florida of all places. in terms of what the tea party means going forward for the republican party -- i think that if our leadership, the republican leadership, does not do something to give them some of what they want and do it quickly, that anger is only going to intensify and it is going to spill over in the 2012 primary elections. we, as republicans, are going to end up with a nominee who has just absolutely no chance whatsoever of winning. >> just to understand where you're coming from, when you say give them some of what they want, do you mean -- like in the early-moves to organize congress or substantive things down the line? would it be smart for t

but look, i think that some of the really bright spots out there are people like marco rubio and i'veaid it before but i think ma marco rubio's the perfect candidate in the sense he's a bona fide conservative but he was also the speaker are of the florida house and i think someone like him and pat toomey have a chance to sort of bridge the gap between the tea party and the establishment. hopefully, they won't be co-opted but i think someone like rubio is a classic example of the possibilities here and i think maybe i don't want to, you know, get too far ahead of myself but look for marco rubio to be a major player and a rising star for years to come. that may be one of the big stories when we look back a couple years from now what 2010 was all about. >> arianna, what do you make of this? >> well, the gop has a choice to make now. do they want to follow what mitch mcconnell said, which is that the highest priority is going to be on to make obama a one-term president or do they want to do what's best to revive the american economy? this is a very stark choice. so far saying no to everyt

hopefully will will get marco rubio. there is a role to be played an advocacy, no question about that. what their role -- what that role is is a balding. clearly gulf left lead with that in the 2008 and 2006 cycles. the conservatives have a level the playing field in 2010. clearly there will be a role for third-party groups that will be able to provide advocacy on behalf of conservative principles and individual policy makers to support those principles. >> cannot follow-up asking how you would respond to those that say that the notion of anonymous donors is somehow pernicious and has an affect on elections and on democracy? your group did collect donations from individuals without releasing the names of the donors. how you respond to those critics? >> by law we cannot spend -- we do not spend bop -- dollar for dollar. if you want to spend dollar for dollar, then you engage in support of 527 where everything is fully disclosed. as the 50% of the work that we do is an advocacy. our group will have substantially less than

marco rubio inexplicably has been made into the republicans' showcase freshman for fiscal conservatism our goal as a country should be to make sure that the next generation is a period of american exceptionalism or american greatness as our new senator marco rubio talks about. >> mr. rubio has been very specific about what his economic plan is coming to washington. because he says he's a fiscal conservative, you've probably heard he's a fiscal conservative. what's his actual plan? in addition to the generic republican proposals to add hundreds of billions of dollars to the deficit, he wants to make changes to tax policy on the alternative minimum tax and estate tax. changes that would add an additional $989 billion to the deficit. and while he is proposing that he would like you to say that he is a fiscal conservative. just say it. it's like me insisting to you i am short and pretty. actually, i'm enormous and i'm sort of average looking. i mean, come on. somebody should report, somebody should report so we can decide what it is that republicans are actually proposing. not just what th

senate, and it's a heated contest between marco rubio, the rising star in the republican party, the independent, florida governor charlie crist, and the democrat, kendrick meek. now, the 39-year-old rubio is being called the poster child of the mainstream component of the tea party movement. but he's hardly the only candidate that's counting on tea party support. that party is supporting, backing a total of nine candidates for the u.s. senate and eight of them have a pretty good chance of winning tonight. and then there's the house, 129 candidates there, also have the backing of the tea party movement. now, this group has been around less than two years, and this election is being called the coming out party for it. we should know by later this evening what influence this tea party has had on the elections. >> reporter: i'm cynthia mcfadden here in chicago, where all eyes are on the senate seat once belonging to president barack obama. democratic alexi giannoulias is running neck and neck with mark kirk, the republican, in what many believe will be a barometer of just how much political sway th
