. >> grover, it's margaret hoover. good to see you again. one of the things we talked about a lot is the democrats strategy to demonize you and make you the villain of the tax debate rather than the pledge to the american people. i wonder if you can hone in on during this debate as we look back at bowles-simpson that we might have got something done, the debate goes to you. grover norquist would say that's bad because it will close loopholes. >> the taxpayer protection pledge was designed in 1996. president reagan set up americans for tax reform, the group i run, and asked me to run it to be the outside group to push tax reform. that was 1986. reduce tax rates. broaden case. it eliminated many deductions and credit that cluttered the tax code. it gave us good economic growth. very helpful. the americans for tax reform and american people are all in favor of getting rid of deductions and credits but not if it's a trojan horse for higher taxes. so let's reduce deductions and credits and reduce marginal tax rates. congressman from kansas has a

margaret hoover here.vely involved in helping to change the primary system for republicans to proportional voting we ended up with this time from the system last time that allowed john mccain to really lock up the nomination by february in 2008. looking back on it having had the prolonged primary, the 20 plus debates, what many in the republican party think was a proportional system that led to a bit of a branding problem for the gop, if you had to do it again, do you think we should go back to how we had it in 2008 or do you think this long system that allowed mitt romney to lock up the nomination just last night at the end of may, beginning of june, was a good thing. >> he locked it up about a month ago, margaret. we know that. what happened is more states were able to participate. the base got more energized. more republicans have been focusing on this election early and the fact is that in the long run this will be a stronger process than one in which you wrap it up in february and then have to reenerg

joining me now are hillary rosen, a cnn political contributor and democratic strategist and margaret hoover, a republican consultant, cnn political contributor, and the great granddaughter of president herbert hoover. margaret, who was born in my home state of iowa, a hero to iowans. margaret, for months democrats have said a republican war on women will help president obama. these polls, are they telling us something different? >> i think that it's true. i think the republican or the republicans' war on women was this mechanism that seems to have been contrived by democratic strategists but in order to exploit the gains among women. the truth is when you look at the numbers democrats and president obama need to win more women because they're losing men. and so they won women handily in 2008, split women evenly in 2010. they need women to come back to the democratic fold if they're going to win in november. >> and certainly women were really energized in 2008 and that is something that is important from the democrats' point of view. hillary, i want to ask you. women care about jobs more tha

margaret hoover. awful us understand binge drink something on the rise in college campuses.ow do these new guideline as dress that? certainly college kids are drinking too much but what do these guidelines do to address that? >> i think it forces them to get counseling or education at an early age in the continuum so college campus health care will have to address this binge drinking if somebody needs counselling they'll get education. >> how? i don't think college kids are reading the dsm 5. >> but the clinicians dealing this their health care there like at the drop-in centers and different campuses, you probably get some sort of thing where there's better education at the college level. i mean that's what this is about. 40% of our college kids would now be considered alcoholic rather than just a rite of passage. it is not a rite of passage to have a 0.3 alcohol level and be date raped and this penn state thing a few months ago. that coach paw stuff, that was all alcohol fueled. cooler heads need to prevail. >> one last point that people might be overlooking this could reco

here to look into it hilary rosen and margaret hoover. welcome. let my start with you hilary. the obama strategy, you think? >> it's certainly one of them. first and foremost, president obama has to campaign on his vision for america going forward. but there's no question that mitt romney is kind of walking away from his governor of massachusetts and telling the -- based of his experience. i think the obama campaign is completely fair game. >> hang on a second. how does it look for someone like cory booker who has been one of obama's staunchest supporters, a leading democratic figure, a hot rising star as newt gingrich put it. for him to turn on barack obama in this way. and he definitely did. whether he tries to back pedal now. i'm a big fan of his, to say it was nauseating and to really take him head on on what is clearly going to be one of the bigger obama attack weapons against mitt romney was a fascinating split, i felt, in the democratic hierarchy. what did you make of that? >> it was but i have empathy with cory booker and misspeaking the first time he talked about it.

. >> actually, sir, margaret hoover here.o mention -- i'm sure you're familiar with the case that was reviewed by the supreme court, texas v. lawrence where actually sodomy laws were overruled. to say sodomy is not a civil right is absurd. it seems to me an argument. in terms of his activism and the political -- pattern of behavior, all you can point to are things that relate to his sexuality. can you point to any other set of activities that relate to advocacy that you are worried about with this individual becoming a judge in virginia? >> an oath of office -- when you take an oath to obey your superiors to abide by the regulations of the military, to accept the code of military justice, there are homosexuals and heterosexuals who obeyed that. i commend them all by doing that. when you decide to step outside that -- he received training that cost the taxpayers $1 million. he basically threw that away and did not fulfill his six-year contract because he decided to come out in 1992. >> mr. marshall, let me point this out. from

outfront tonight, errol lewis and cnn contributor, and my bride, margaret hoover. now, we'll get to your myths in just a second, but the one i think is the biggest so far this cycle is the idea that president obama's economic philosophy essentially amounts to an attack on free enterprise. it's a charge we've heard as rival mitt romney raised repeatedly on the campaign trail. >> we're only inches away from no longer being a free economy, and our democrat friends want us to just keep raising taxes just a little more. >> now, this, of course, rips off that old idea that president obama is somehow a socialist. it's an extension of the anxiety that says a debate about whether the top tax rate should be 35% or 39% is the difference between freedom and the slippery road to socialism. now, the president has tried to clarify that, criticizing, saying that criticizing bain is not an all-out attack on private equity, let alone free enterprise. >> my view of private equity is that it is -- it is set up to maximize profits. and that's a healthy part of the free market. >> so, m

margaret hoover is with us as well a former campaign staffer for president obama and former new york granddaughter of president herbert hoover. we start this morning with the vice president. joe biden. kind of done it again while trying to put the blame squarely on the shoulders of george w. bush for the nuclear buildup in iran, he blamed the united states. >> when we took office, let remind you there was no pressure on iran. we were the problem. we were diplomatically isolated in the world, in the region. by going the extra diplomatic mile, presenting iran with a clear choice, we demonstrated to the region and to the world that iran is the problem, not the united states. >> the romney campaign quickly fired back with this statement that comes from policy director chen. all too often the obama administration has sought to blame america first yet vice president biden's reckless statement has reached a new low. republican senator from wyoming is the chairman of the republican policy committee. he's also a member of the senate foreign relations committee and joins us this morning. nice t
