an anguished marjorie margolies cast the deciding vote for president clinton's budget. good-bye marjorie, the republicans chanted bleful eed . good-bye. >> president clinton made a lot of promises to get votes. democrat marjorie margolies-mezvinsk wr. >> i'm being called a villain and a heroine. i don't accept any one of those. i did it because it was the right thing to do. >> but her office in philadelphia is getting complaints from constituents. >> she's absolutely out. i mean, i can't believe that she would do such a stupid thing. >> on substance it wasn't necessarily a stupid thing. it was a vote for the clinton administration budget in 1993 n. that republican leaning district in pennsylvania it did get that member of congress, that brand-new member of congress turfed out. that personal phone call from president clinton asking her personally to make that vote. she had told him apparently that she would do it if he absolutely needed it. he called her and told her he it absolutely need it. everybody knew full well it would cost her her seat in congress. she kept her wo

it's really a personal event because chelsea is married to marjorie margolies' son. and so the big question in this race has been how much do you use the clintons? have you used them too much? do you use them too little? take a look at what margegy margolies told me. >> we always knew that if they came in too much, we would be blamed for their coming in too much. if they didn't come in enough, people would say they didn't come in enough. you're kind of damned if you do and damned if you don't. >> but tonight, hillary clinton will be raising an awful lot of money for her. bill clinton has done it as well. she's used the clintons in an ad in the district. she's in a tight four-way primary. it's going to be a squeaker. this is a seat she lost 20 years ago when she cast a vote to give bill clinton his economic plan. a little bit of redemption. >> and there are a lot of democrats running for the house. never mind will she or won't she. who kind of wish the clintons had more than one child, they could get their kid married so that would entice the clintons to come campaign

margolis. her final ad featured a plea by the former president. >> if you send marjorie to congress, she'll make you proud, she'll vote right and i think america will be a better place and this district will be well served. >> margolis' main competition on tuesday is likely to be state rep brendan boyle. they've spent the final days challenging his commitment to abortion rights. >> it's sad ms. margolis resorted to such a negative campaign at the end that she can't talk about any positive reason to vote for her. there a lot of scare tactics out there. i've been a 100% supporter of planned parenthood. >> former congresswoman marjorie margolis joins me now. good morning to you. >> hi, chuck. >> this is familiar terrain. you at one time worked for the nbc affiliate here in washington as a tv correspondent. you could easily reverse roles with me right now about i don't want that, i'm going to make you answer questions. let's start with you responding to mr. boyle on these back and forths about whether he is pro-choice enough. he believes his planned parenthood rating undermines any attacks on him. w

and very quickly, marjorie margolis, an inlaw to the clintons, both bill and hillary have campaigned for her. she's in a very tight race. could she lose? >> she could definitely lose. she's had very little voter contact, she spent a lot of her money on consultants and has very little to go on, and there's candidates with bases going against her, including one guy that represents northeast philly in the statehouse. he has a natural labor base. >> all right. tom fitzgerald. man on the scene there with some good races here at the end. looks like it will be a fascinating governor's race in the fall. thank you, sir. >> definitely. thanks. >> up next, a lot of questions and not many answers. so what will that mean for the head of the veterans administration? we'll talk to nbc's jim miklaszewski. to the daily planner. the first lady is marking the first anniversary of brown versus the board of education. the president will meet privately with families of the plaintiffs, as well as lead lawyers tonight at the white house. there will not be any cameras to that. tomorrow is actually the 60th a

last night former congresswoman marjorie margolies lost her race by a 2-1 margin. her son married chelsea clinton in 2010. however, she served one term in congress in the 90s but lost re-election after voting for president clinton's budget. they helped fundraise in her come back attempt. her opponent is brendan boil who will now head to the general election in a district that is heavily favored for democrats. >>> so it's been a really good week for advocates of marriage equality. pennsylvania is the latest state to overturn a gay marriage ban after a federal judge declared it to be unconstitutional. republican governor tom corbin haend said whether he'll appeal this ruling. however, couples gathered out site city halls across the state to celebrate the decision. official officials predicted an onslaught of marriage applications for today. pennsylvania follows a rulings in oregon overturning a marriage equality ban. there are 29 states that allow for same sex marriage or have struck down a ban. 44% of the u.s. population now lives in a state that has marge equality.

you mentioned the democrats -- we paid a lot of attention to this pennsylvania house primary, marjory margolis. she lost because she wasn't a good candidate. the day after the abortion rights advocates criticized the democrat that won. the democrats are criticizing their nominee. listen to john boehner here who says what conflict with the tea party. >> i thought the election went well. we're going to have good candidates on the ballot. i'm not going to enter into this distinction between the tea party and republicans because it's a distinction you're going to have a hard time finding. >> that statement is ludicrous. boehner wants to passism grags reform. tea party says no. boehner would prefer the debt ceiling go up without any drama, tea party says no. he wanted to strike a grand bargain with the president, maybe include some new revenues. factually that's crazy. the republicans -- >> democrats in some ways, that's a bit of a gift. they still want the tea party to kick around and label republicans as being captives of the tea party in some of these states. in that way it's good. >> do you kno

in the shocker of the night, former congresswoman and clinton in-law, marjorie margolies was toppled in her effort to regain her house seat by a state legislator half her age. brendan boyle. in oregon, stories about monica wehby's personal life, including allegations of stalking by a former boyfriend who also poured money into a campaign didn't matter. she beat her opponent and will be the gop senate nominee in that state. it does leave her facing the general election wounded. shushannah walshe, abc news, washington. >>> the scandal over long delays at v.a. hospitals is getting bigger by the day. the veterans affairs department says since last week, the number of v.a. facilities under investigation has more than doubled now to 26. reports of secret waiting lists and a cover-up first surfaced at the v.a. hospital in phoenix, where dozens of veterans died, allegedly while waiting for appointments. >>> and a highly-controversial administration policy gets an airing today on capitol hill. under intense pressure, the white house is revealing a secret memo describing its legal justificatio

marjorie margolies lost her bid to state legislature brandon boyle. not a surprise politically but impressive because the clintons were involved and she still lost. >> tom wolf topped allison swart schwartz in the democratic primary. he will take on tom corbett in november. >> what does it all mean with the senate hanging in the balance in this big internal conflict within the republican party? let's dig in deeper with cnn political analyst and editor in chief of "the daily beast" jon avalon and we haveder to value director of the national journal, mr. ron brownstein. so avalon, having you here right next to me, the lefties wanted to party to be tea soaked but the grand old party comes back. the establishment, you could say, strikes back. >> tea party shut out last night. it is a big deal, for a party that's been in the midst of a civil war with a me party w winning a lot of primary fights. looks like there's a learning curve in place because the tea party democrats, easier to paint them to the extreme, not shut out last night. strong night for mainst

their only daughter married to marjorie margolis' son. both bill and hilary threw in their election efforts and she only got 27% of the vote. on the right we hear a lot of noise about the tea party exerting its influence. you may have heard it here tonight. when the truth is revealed it is simply they aren't winning elections. and we can't even tell with any certainty they are influencing elections. many are not even showing up. i've been saying for the past year that the tea party is all but dead. don't get me wrong. i don't cheer their departure. i'm a strong supporter of the tea party's values and i give them all the credit for what they accomplished in 2010, the expression of the popular will. in fact in my book "upheaval" i wrote this only the tea party in 2010 stood between this president and the full implementation of what i believe would have been disastrous consequences for the nation. we're close enough to those consequences without the democrats controlling the entire government. but the republican establishment took on the tea
