is he potentially going to have a murdock or an akin affect in bah with a away and elect a democrat tothat otherwise might go republican? >> at this stage it's very early in the game. we haven't ruled anybody or in or out, but but things we think that's important to do as part of the process is to vet candidates and to take a look at what they've said, take a look at the things that can be used against them that they'll have to answer to, and make sure that the candidates can also raise money, have message discipline and run an effective race where they can appeal to all manner of voters when they have to do that in the general election. >> are you also going to have an impact in place like south carolina where there have been some kwfsh pushback against lindsey graham, but you have a senator who is a clear leader, party spokesman on military issues. do you get behind someone like lindsey fwram? do you stop a primary by taking place by putting your money where your mouth is. >> our goal will be, first of all, to reach out to all different groups on the right and see if we can build con

item 8, presentation and discussion on mobile retail by christian murdock, office of small business and this is a discussion item only. >> while christian is getting set up. i just wanted to provide you with an update in terms of the work that we are doing with the office around mobile retail and research, while we are not at the place to make a specific recommendations we are getting close but i want to give you an update and get your feedback and let you know what has been involved and taking a look at developing some policy and permitting guidelines around what we are calling mobile retail and probably more non-mobile food business. >> and welcome. >> thank you, good to be here, good evening, mr. president, and honoral commissioners and as the director said i am here to give you an overview of what the office has been doing in the area of what has ex-spended from mobile retail to the end serve use category. >> so what we are trying to do is develop a new city-wide program to permit retail sales and services from and within the motor vehicles on city streets. this stemed from an incre

. >> fish and game commission decided it will not stop a controversial coyote hunting contest in murdockthe goal is to see who can ée$dthere is also concern the first whild wolf known to be in california for years nicknamed journey may be in that area. >> concern journey could be killed by a coyote hunter. >> they will be advised that the gray wolf is a protected animal and shooting of the wolf is a violation of such law. >> hollywood stars took over and entertained crowds today at pebble beach. it has been a tradition for 50 years. what a fun assignment. >> beautiful weather. very to say a tournament is normally very stayed affair there is no talking or interaction, certainly no screaming. today that was okay. >> it was one of those days for espn anchor a golfer is glad there aren't pictures on the score card. when this is a view it's pretty hard to get upset. >> pebble beach not a cloud. l is the ocean. people are here. and 49ers in the super bowl. hello? >> go. go. >> there were seriously good shots hit bit the like of kenny g, real goal was to have fun. >> bring stuff for ebay it was

of more dollars in 2014 supporting more establishment candidates against people like todd aiken, murdockdiana. how does this fit together? >> let me rise above the partisan bickering here. and let us reason together. i think one way that you can unite the party, which has had major success in integrating the more populous elements is agree on the buckley rule. people will try to support and nominate the most conservative candidate who can win. if you don't try to make statements by nominating extreme conservatives who can be sort of enjoyable and outside the populous but have no chance of winning in a general election, you don't go that way. classic example, delaware senate 2010. they threw away a seat. they would have had a moderate. a semi-liberal republican but this beats a hard line liberal democrat and you might have had a change in control of the senate had that not happened with one 0 two other states. >> people are talking about the idea of a brewing war in the republican party toward 2014 and organizations like american crossroads supporting candidates they think can win add con

. >> we spent $5.9 million for richard murdock to spend $3.3 kblinl in missouri until todd akin said woman's body knows when she's been legitimately raped. and our donors said we've got to do a better job of getting better conservative candidates you made mistake buzz everybody makes mistakes but there is a difference from say, a christine owe donnel in delaware. do you remember christine? big star among tea party people. but the woman couldn't put three jentss together and got her butt kicked by a very weak candidate, right? and there is a difference between people on far right that don't do appeal to some american that's don't have, look. this is about ideology. marco rubio is a strong candidate. >> but he's -- . >> he's a moderate republican. >> rand paul is -- right. look. we gave more money, spent more money on behalf of the candidates than any other group in america, any group. i love the groups saying they're fake conservatives. we spent $30 million for tea party senate candidates there is no group coming close to what cross roads has done in terms of financial support. >> we

todd akin, david murdock and sharron angle. we need to evaluate everything we did.ut it also includes, i think, focusing more on quality candidate selection to make sure that we've got really, really good candidates who can win in elections and that we can effectively back when we get into general elections. >> chris, one of the chief complaints i hear from people like steve having to do with the club for growth is that you guys get involved in a primary and then you don't get involved and you walk away. when you win you don't do as much that can be done in a general election. >> facts matter. and the fact is in seven election cycles, 14 years, the club for growth has backed two candidates in contested primaries that became the nominee. so they won the primary, that didn't become members of congress. two in 14 years. >> who are those two? >> richard mourdock and sharron angle. everyone else we've endorsed in a primary. in a contested primary that they won, they became members of congress. so we think that's a record that, you know, not too troubling. and the questio

you sort of saw that in a different case in the senate elections in 2012 with murdock and akin about rape and women's rights and how that went forward. there is a fear that something outlandish could be said and that outlandish comment could then become representative of the entire gop party, and they do not want that. there definitely is a fear of that, alex. one thing that's important about big business and their support for immigration, one thing that nancy pelosi likes to tell and one thing i've seen personally on dlil, you'll get some of these republican businessmen from central part of california, arizona, texas, florida, and they all come here and say, hey, we need to fix this. at least for guest workers. if you take away these immigrants, as you have seen in alabama that had a very strict immigrant law, the crop product gets killed and profits go down. >> that could also be used as an umbrella to get some of the raucus members of house in line, and so far it's not a humanistic article or about the other. it's about cold, hard cash. look, keep your boat shoes firmly planted ma

no word of o'donnell or akin or richard murdock or the party's current 26% approval rating.n some level this is not surprising at all, but some -- we call them reasonable minds. some insightive perhaps politically savvy minds in the republican party are thinking, hey, maybe it's not so great for us to elect crazy people to the ticket. >> right. they explicitly took a hands off approach this time, and they said we're going to let primaries shake out, and then we're going to get in whoever wins, but it's tough to figure out exactly how far to the right somebody can be and still win because akin and murdoch probably could have won if they would have not been idiotic for ten seconds during their campaign and completely blown it. the far right can say, well, look, what we need is better did hes palestinianed people. not people who are more liberal. >> well, and, i mean, like this is the big skism on the right. we talk about it in gun control and immigration and to some degree women's health care, but there's a problem here, and it's unclear who wins. i thought this was a very cho

we spent $5.9 million for richard murdock who said that it was god's will if a woman is raped and becamee spent $3.3 million in missouri until todd akin. we stopped spending when todd akin said woman's body knows when she has been illegitimately or will legitimately raped whatever that means. our donors to whom we have responsibility said we are happy to keep writings big checks but we have got to do a better job of getting better conservative candidates in these races. >> bill: so you have made some mistakes. everybody makes mistakes. >> sure. >> bill: there is a philosophical difference from say a christine o'donnell in delaware, remember christine? big star among the tea party people but the woman couldn't put three sentences together and she got her butt kicked by a very weak candidate coons, right? >> 16 point defeat. >> there is a difference between people on the far right who don't -- who do appeal to some americans who really don't have, look -- >> -- bill, this is not a bad ideology. this is about being a bad candidate. marco rubio is a strong, conservative candidate. >> bill: h

the leading goper is shelly -- murdock, again, we have this example time and time again the seat is offered up. the arch conservatives get their guy, and then maybe ashley judd or someone like her, some democrat from who, what, where, when, how comes in and ends up winning the seat. >> charlize theron is -- >> from south africa. >> oh, sorry. >> there needs to be a reconciliation here, right? as the party becomes more -- the battle lines are drawn with firmer and firmer markers, if you will, how do you build the tent big enough? >> if every republican who looks toward the center and we just have a crazy right, this is not good for our democracy. i mean, that's the bottom line with those constituents. >> iran, you're a betting woman, aren't you? >> could be. >> you could be for this moment in this television moment. how worried does mitch mcconnell need to be? >> by ashley judd? i think -- >> in general. in general. but, yes, probably. >> i think ashley judd is -- she has her masters from harvard. i will not tolerate any snickering about ashley judd. i think possibly the state of kentucky do

. >> richard murdock in indiana. >> mitch mcconnell, the man who would be the senate majority leaderld get their act together must be tearing his hair out about the lack of assistance he's getting from his friends in the house on the other side of the chamber. because the party -- you know, these guys can spend all the money they want, but there is still a strain of, you know, a lack of willingness to face reality, a fringiness to some of the candidates. >> a fringiness. >> that they have got to get a grip on. and i'm not sure how you do that exactly, especially with sarah palin looking like she wants to spend some money on some of these cases. >> let's talk about sarah palin for a second here. you wrote about her super pack finishing the year. with almost $1.2 million in the bank, how do you think she spends that? >> i think she clearly needs to use it to maintain a platform. she lost a significant part of her platform when she and fox news parted ways, and she has shown a desire to continue to be a voice in american politics and in the republican party in particular. >> really? are
