>> well, look, i think michele bachmann is absolutely right and here's what's going to happen. i don't think republicans are going to win the united states senate, but i think the united states senate will be dramatically changed. i mean, right now there are two reliable conservatives in the senate, tom coburn and jim dement otherwise we have establishment republicans people like mitch mcconnell and sometimes a good conservative, but not really what conservatives would consider to be a conservative hero. but now you're going to add in people like rand paul. i think he's going to win and mark arubio in florida and pat toomey in pennsylvania and who knows what is going to happen? dramatically different whether or not republicans take over and conservatives are going to be, you know, maybe five times more powerful than they have been in the past. >> let's take a look, not to do cross promotion, but my friend lawrence o'donnell had some interesting guests last night including rand paul and one thing they talked about and one thing they talked about was medicare. so, let's take a li

just like david bartman who you just talked about or jot plummer, newt gingrich or michele bachmann.what the republican party's morphed into. they can't run away from it, ed. as democrats, what democrats should be doing is using her, morphing her into every gop candidate out there. the real story on christine o'donnell is not that she believes that rats have human brains. the story is not that she believes that she wanted to be a witch sometimes. it's not even it's not even that she says that she doesn't want to eat meat -- she doesn't want to be vegan because she likes meatballs, the story is that she is the face of the tea bag party and the leadership is happy about that. as we speak you have karl rove traveling all over the globe on behalf of the chambish of commerce, who is raising money in places like saudi arabia, libya, china, russia, to raise money for candidates like christine o'donnell. you might remember, he came out at first and said she's an aberration, well, no she's not an aberration, she is mainstream, mainstream. in her new ad, she tells she's no longer a witch and t

fitzpatrick sounds reasonable he's tied to christine o'donnell in the philly media market to michelle bachmannthese are still the scary of past. he's not getting much traction on that argument yet. for him it is personal for murphy he's not trying to run on the issues because he can't defend his 100% obama democrat voting record. >> paul: trying to run guilt by association. you are one of those crazy tea party people? >> absolutely. they are not running on health care not even trying to defend health care, not tying to defend the stimulus. >> paul: james, here's another theme we've seen the endangered longtime democratic incumbent baron. you looked at the barney frank race in massachusetts of all places. barn if i frank has a competitive race. >> that's right. nobody things that barney frank is likely to lose. the poll that made news had him up by 10% over his challenger. >> paul: he hasn't had a close race since 1980. >> since 1982. he's a serious guy, marine, worked if the private sector, harvard graduate, impressive guy. he has raced a -- raised a lot of money. frank brought bill clinton to

congresswoman michele bachmann. a good friend of mine and chair of the house tea party caucus.gresswoman bachmann, i know you are in the midst of a campaign and kind enough to join us. thank you for coming on the "glenn beck program." let me get down to it. do people change when they get to washington? if the essence of the congressional task one of compromise with one's ideological opponents? if so, how could anybody stick to their principles? >> judge, i have watched people come to public office and watch them melt like glass under pressure of special interest groups and the lobbyists. a person needs to know who they are and what they believe before they go to washington, d.c. they need to know they are somebody before they ever get to washington, d.c. or have a title in front of their name. if a title is what makes them important, then people will do anything to hold that title. we are seeing candidates run in the election cycle who know who they are and what they believe and won't be susceptible to melting. to that in as part of tea party caucus i'll start classes on weekly

you know, michele bachmann and you might classify her as sort of out there in left field, but, darr darrylisal be the chairman. oversite commission said the first thing they'll do is start issuing subpoenas and having investigations. given the challenges that this country faces, that's the last thing we need. it's the last thing we need. give president obama and nancy blowsy and harry reid credit. we didn't do that to the republicans. we didn't start investigating all the things that could have been investigated from the prior administration. we tried to focus on the challenges facing us. i think to have the republicans back in control of the house of representatives would be very destructive. i think they've said very clearly they want to go back to the policies, the economic policies, that have ruined the country, brought the country to the brink of its knees and they want to start this investigation stuff, which the country absolutely doesn't need. >> listen, robert gibbs, even, you know, howard dean has said, many people have said, listen, the voters are apathetic and some voters are upse

from sarah palin to christine o'donnell to michele bachmann, republicans figured out that americans care more about entertainment values than family values. what the republicans understand is precisely what the democrats don't. that the same revolution that transformed country music and broadcast news is under way in politics. the democrats haven't lost to soccer moms because they're so concerned about them eating up the federal inheritance. they've lost because they can't find a single candidate who looks like one. tom juno, the man who wrote that piece joins me in the studio along with the executive editor who recently wrote an article called "sex and the gop." both sound very fun. lay out your case for us. why do you think these women help the republican? >> well, my point was that the republicans have gotten off the mat by embracing entertainment values. part of that is producing stars as much as producing candidates. christine o'donnell is the perfect example of one. she really has no basis for being a candidate. but she has a basis for being a star. >> i'm not buying that. ou outsi

because you talked about michele bachmann and the tea party caucus in congress.publicans who don't want to be associated with the tea party and now there's going to be this kind of messed-up thing going on. how's it going to work out? >> i think it is interesting concept. the fact is i don't believe we are out of alignment with the core values of the republican party. i think when you look at what the tea party desires -- fiscal responsibility, smaller government and free markets -- those are core platforms of the republicans. i think the good news about what's taking place in the cycle besides the fact we're now electing tea party candidates is that we're not only hold them accountable since we now have a voice through the new candidates and the caucus, but also there is no question about the animation within the tea party movement. this movement as i said to my friend the other day, who would have thunk it. last february we kicked this off and in 20 months -- in 20 month it's an extraordinary set of circumstances. and the sophistication, i believe, that has evo

we have always had republican hypocrisy, so many of the people already in government, like michele bachmanne government while she rails against the government. but we were told that the new batch of tea party people were pure and they really didn't like government it turns out, unless, of course, they arether they are taking money from the government. alaska, joe miller, tea party candidate, not only doesn't believe in unemployment insurance, he think it is unconstitutional. unless, of course, it's his wife getting it. kathleen miller apparently collected unemployment insurance after she was working as a part-time clerk for joe miller, her own husband. but that's not all. joe miller also took money from the government in the 1990s when he got as 7,000 in federal farm subsidies and then in 1999, when he got $77,400 in a state loan to buy 1,000 acres in the delta junction in alaska. so when it comes to state subsidies and unemployment insurance the miller family collects, well, they love that. they meant you shouldn't get government handouts. they should. well, how about ron johnson in wiscon

there's always michelle bachmann and allen grayson, always good for entertainment. >> alan grayson isally a smart guy. >> just because you're smart doesn't mean you're not crazy. >> he is doing good battles. >> one man's populist is another man's extremism. we've got a conservative populist movement in this country that has a lot of wing nuts attached to it, not all, certainly. but i think in the macro sense, you go to politics and get the hateriat movement we see and rise of the militias. that's when it gets -- you get off the reservation. they're not playing in minor league ball, they're outside the stadium screaming. >> i want to jump in, when we talk about the fringe, everybody immediately jumps to the right. and that's expected. so i wanted to identify someone on the left who is fringe, who is coming up that people maybe don't know about, just to kind of, you know, balance the playing field. and by the way, it's actually a little difficult to find these individuals. not a lot of ink spilled on them. one young lady, quicha rogers, a democratic candidate, not a write-in, 22nd congr

he'll be campaigning with a opponent of michelle bachmann, very popular up there. >> very busy week. very busy week for the president of the united states, first lady, going to be out on the campaign trail this week and at the same time the republicans have given them a little criticism saying, you know, the president needs to be spending more time in the white house particularly as it pertains to the jobless numbers and this ongoing economic problem. >> and you'll see the president right back here after being back on the campaign trail, more here in washington, d.c. before heading out one more time and a lot of top republicans in the campaign trail. nine days to go. countdown is on. paul steinhauser, thank you very much for that. both parties are going into overdrive to sway undecided voters in these days but they are failing to fire up many women who are noticeably unenthusiastic this election season, and that could spell trouble for democrats in particular. cnn's samantha hayes explains. ♪ i want to love you, pretty young thing ♪ >> reporter: following politics is a little like fa
