mr clair he used to teach us. probably as you would also do that political that that that democracies never go to war with each other so maybe the root of the problems we're talking about being the fact that china is not a democracy it at least is not considered democracy in most of the countries. well that may be a factor my thinking is a little bit different. i i rest my analysis on a global struggle for vital resources room materials i think we're in a world today where the supply of vital resources i'm talking about oil natural gas minerals and practically everything else is going to be in increasingly short supply because we've used up so much of the world's available resources so the u.s. and china are going to be in competition for vital supplies especially of oil the u.s. and china are now the leading consumers of oil and increasingly china will need more and more of what's left of the world's oil but who is so who will be to we move more provoke of dave in this struggle in this for resources china or the

to a hello mr clair welcome to the show thank you very much for being with us today. well pleasure you have been writing extensively about the rising row of the asia pacific region are you sure that the region is bound to replace the atlantic and global importance is a true. well you know on the basis of population on the basis of economy on the basis of economic dynamism yes i think that the atlantic the asia pacific region will become the dominant region of the future yes the need you tend to see the future of the region rather in terms of most of all between the u.s. and china rather than cooperation what makes you think so. you know when you look at history when you have a dominant power that's been a player in place for a very long time. in this case the united states and you have a rising power like china there's always going to be friction and conflict now that doesn't mean it will lead to war a conflict does not always have to lead to war but certainly there will be rivalry and competition are you talking about a possibility up a cold war between between ameri

goldie as a woman, and what julien as a think he's a bad candidate and claire mccaskill may sail through. >> julien, we know that mr co-sponsored bills with the very same todd akin. i mean, why isn't mr. ryan applauding and supporting mr. akin's run for tat ,y' running away from it. i think the fact he's still in the race shows the republican establishment does not really have that much power anymore. that's a story that hasn't been reported on. the two impressions you're left with with this republican par during this entire election season, when it comoocl issues, as jimmy pointed out, akin on the women's ise, hispanic issues, it's the archie bunker hour for the republican party. when it comes to economic issues it's more like an episode of "signfield" inhat it's a campaign about nothing. t a ngleconoidth intut before, taxes are at 15% of gdp, the lowest in 60 years. the idea the republicans want to ild a campaign on lowering them even further just seems to beempty-headed and slightly brain dead. this is a party that has not a t out publicly during this campaign season. it's remarkable because the republican party

mr. legitimate rape, looks like he's in it to win it and makes no friends. he said that claire mccass kel was more ladylike in 2006. >> that's never a good ea. don't editorializ oom a their demeanor. i'm talking to you arlen specter and todd akin. it's a bad idea. i'm shocked. when this first happened about a month ago, i thought thisuy is toast. he's done. there's no way we stand for it this. i wa to take the senatack uc as the next republican, but i want to do it the right way. he's not the right way. it's not because of his position on abortion. he's not founded in reality. he's not the person to lead that state. >> let meee if i could just gnngaid they'll the nrsc is continue to monitor the race and he's the far more preferable candidate. they oginally said they wouldn't spend any money in the race. should they get back in or no? >> i'm surprised at that, too. you said watch the nrcc will changets tu. i did not agree. you're absolutely right. they have, and i'm disappointed. >> i agree with you that i'm shocked he's still in the race. a guy would say that junk sciency sort

112th congress -- andrea chapman, claire green, sara weaver, sterling louden, owen hawk ye, james mathis and owen stefans. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. udall: i also have eight unanimous consent requests for committees to meet during today's session of the senate. they have the approval of the majority and minority leaders. i ask unanimous consent that these requests be agreed to and these requests be printed in the record. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. udall: madam president, i yield the floor and i note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: mr. udall: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from colorado. mr. udall: madam president, i would ask unanimous consent that the quorum call be lifted. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. udall: madam president, i have been coming to the senate floor on a daily basis to talk about the importance of the wind production tax credit. i intend to do so today, but before i do bring up that important topic, i wanted to speak to a situation and an incident that's on everybody's minds, and that's what happened

mr. president, do not cut social security. >> vermont senator bernie sanders with us tonight on "the ed show." democrats are surging in senate races across the country. it's real. stay with us. >>> coming up, missouri senator claireaskell and todd akin squared off in missouri today. and more democrats are taking the lead in their races. and john nichols joins me to discuss the democratic surge. stay tuned. you're not just looking for a house. you're looking for a place for your life to happen. when you take a closer look... ...at the best schools in the world... ...you see they all have something very interesting in common. they have teachers... ...with a deeper knowledge of their subjects. as a result, their students achieve at a higher level. let's develop more stars in education. let's invest in our teachers... ...so they can inspire our students. let's solve this. >>> tonight, i asked does mitt romney's campaign need a turn around? 70% say yes. 30% say no. coming up. >>> todd akin had a rough time of it and he's not the only republican candidate that's in trouble. a look at wisconsin and others next. stay with us. capella university understands rough economic times have led to an increase in clinical depressi

mr. akin will be alone in that assessment. look, republicans have gotten a lot of heat for pulling their support from achen, but honestly, let's look at this realistically. he doesn't have very much money. clairemost $2 million to pick him and her opponent. there was a reason for that. tomorrow is the deadline for him to get out, he is clearly not going to do so and all bets are once the deadline passes mccaskill is just going to go nuclear on him. and she doesn't even have to go to the beginning of the problem, she is talk about his support for ending the student school lunch program, medicare social security, and he only has the resources to respond. so i don't really see how in any realistic way he can win this race. >> bill: and you think he'll stay in? >> oh, he will stay in. i put that in shortly after he uttered that fortunate phrase. >> bill: already. i'm just jumping around in no particular order. bill nelson in florida. how does that looked? >> nelson's race is pretty tied to the president. i would say if there is a state where medicare plays big it's florida. >> bill: right. >> connie mac is the republican candidate he has some ground to make up here. it is probably going to be clos
