[applause] arlin specter has changed parties and become a democrat to try to salvage his political career. [applause] and thanks to the people of nevada and we have been i think in any town of over 200 in nevada, we've been in, and harry reid is now trailing by 10 points and 15 points against all his republican opponents.

he was dead broke, and mark twain, sam clemens, offered to pay both their ways to nevada in orion would take them along, so in 1961, they both lit out for the territory and the next 21 days, were constant companions in a concord stagecoach rattling across nebraska, utah, and nevada. stagecoach stopped every 50 miles to meet other travelers or let them eat. at one station, twain ran into a real life gun slinger who worked for the stage line when he wouldn't busy robbing it and he carried around the ear of one of his victims as a good luck charm. slade was about to take the last cup of coffee, wrote twain, when he noticed that my cup was empty. he politely offered to fill it and i politely declined, i was afraid he hadn't killed anybody that morning and might be needing the diversion. twain survived that confrontation, but slade was lynched a couple of years later by montana vigilantes for disturbing the peace, which by standards of the west, must have been a pretty big disturbance. the brothers topped off in salt lake city where orion was supposed to meet with brigham young. sam went alo

she's in the lead in nevada. harry reid pushed health care reform.political climate in harry reid's home state that someone can get up and say something like this about health care reform and actually be ahead of harry reid in the polls? >> you know, i cannot imagine, lawrence. i mean, obviously harry reid has political problems in nevada, and the health care reform bill was not popular there. we knew all that. we suspected perhaps a candidate would come out and say what other republicans are saying, let's take an incremental approach, we should have started from scratch, and this and that. i don't think anyone believed that this would be the idea coming out of the mouth of a candidate who in a recent poll was ten points ahead of harry reid. you know, you feel that he's in a world of hurt right now, and you've got to feel sorry for the guy, if this is the idea that's going to defeat him. >> i want to test your memory here, gene, if you can think of something i can't, and that is the -- i've never seen a senator carry a bill like this, that he knew wa

we went to senator reid's home in searchlight, nevada. why do you think there was such -- i don't want to use a term that overstates it, there were a lot of people that didn't like it. more were unhappy with the health care bill than were happy with it. why did you think that? >> because the loud minority made a lot of noise. now that the legislation passed, it is amazing how much different people attitude is. traveling on an airplane people are so nice to me. we have people -- it wasn't that way before. we have people coming, sending me notes in church. i have a disabled daughter, thank you very much for taking care of her. people have changed. even the republicans have changed their tone. i was in salt lake doing church business this past weekend. i was interesting, the newspapers there and the conservative bastion of america, utah, even the republican leaders up there are saying we don't want to change the things that are already in effect we want to improve some of the things that are going to happen later. everybody with the rare --

saw that firsthand as they attempted to travel to a rally in harry reid's hometown of searchlight, nevada. supporters lined the streets throwing eggs at tea party buses as they passed and some intentionally redirected them in the wrong direction. journalist andrew brightbart was there and watched it all go down. >> you are throwing els. that's not nice. you are throwing eggs. that's not nice. >> get him out of here or i'm going to jail today. >> what did you just say? >> i said i love you! >> you are going to jail if i don't get out of here? i haven't said anything provocative. i haven't said one thing provocative. >> it's over! it's over! >> i'm standing here -- [ inaudible ] they want to be violent against me. >> joining me with more on this the man himself founder and publisher of big government.com, and true thank you for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> set out what happened. you go and stand on the sidewalk in the middle, a saoufpl harry reid supporters and -- i assume in the middle of harry reid and union activists what happened? >> i thought arrived where the event was,

that title belongs to nevada.what you find in california is their counties dominate the list of counties experiencing economic pain. a lot of these counties are inland, as you mentioned, san bernardine, riverside. that has to do with the housing crisis. same with a lot of the counties in the central valley that have unemployment rates approaching 20%. those were bedroom communities that were built for people commuting from san jose. the counties in california do dominate the list of the most stressed counties in the nation. host: john is joining us from roskam, florida, on the republican line. caller: how do we give out of this mess if you do not find the private sector? now they want to fund financial reform? and no one knows about business in this is administration. i am waiting for them to have a press conference without a teleprompter. congress only has a 10% approval rating. i hear we are bankrupt. what can we do? it is a big mess if you do not get the private sector involved. the government will expand, but

sarah palin shows up in nevada. throws -- draws a huge crowd between 10 and 25,000.ry reid guess to the same location he got a little over 100, big crowd as he's kicking off his reelection. he's behind all three potential candidates that he would run against. there's been all this talk about the tea party movement how it is racist, violent. listen to what happened when he was mocking governor palin and somebody shouts out about the tea party movement, they can drop dead. let's roll this tape. >> i was going to give a few remarks on the people who were here a week ago saturday, but i couldn't write it all on my hand. [ applause ] >> you bet cha! >> sean: they could drop dead, you bet cha! what do you make of the effort to demon eyes the entire tea party movement? -- demonize the entire tea party movement? >> i think having contempt for the people of your own state is dangerous if you are an incumbent running for election. these people who were here a week ago. those are the people who elected him. they were his citizens. the fact that there were thousands of them, i m

they have been active in nevada.u with that support, that is an important endorsement and you had other big name endorsements as well. to be down so far in the polls, how do you feel like you will be able to surmount the gop primary that you have got? what is your strategy? >> in a primary things don't really get cooking along in politics until about six weeks out and that is exactly where we are. we gained this momentum and as you have said we have gotten the conservative credentials from the gun owners of america and eagle forum and also from n state, nevada republican assembly and the network for nevada home coolers has endorsed me. it is not just a national conservative effort but it is also a statewide conservative effort. and when you are working toward a primary like this you want things to kind of peak at the right time and i think that the tea party express has carefully assessed this and said yes, this is the correct time, we are ready to go and i am really very grateful for their endorsement. >> shannon: w

let me show you video out of the sierra nevada range.t around the tahoe area when you got to the east part of there. snow blowers all in action yesterday. one to two feet of snow between california and nevada and that's what it looks like in tahoe itself and you'll see the snow coming to an end but pick up in intensity from montana to wyoming. ahead of that developing low, all wind for the plains. wind advisories and look at the big chunk of real estate. oklahoma stretching clear on up to the canadian border. the red-shaded areas winds gusting to 60 or more. you had that going for you right there. look at the cold front slicing through the upper midwest and slight chance of severe thunderstorms, too. mainly occur later this afternoon and windy conditions and large hail and that's all you're going to find. i don't think it's a tornado day at all. snow developing out of wyoming and montana and heavy at times and winter storm warnings for a good half of montana, all rain for the eastern half and the snow piling up to 6 to 12 and even down b

things are really tough in nevada.ly hurting which is why they're not going to throw away the most powerful democrat they've ever had in the u.s. senate. when you get down to a strong republican, the tea party is going to take votes from the republican and then harry reid is coming back to the senate. >> i don't understand what he's doing at a shooting range. i guess -- >> i do. >> there are a lot of gun owners in nevada. you know that. >> you remember tom foley. he got in trouble. he had an elephant gun out there shooting on the weekends to show what a big hunter he was. he loved the weapons. i think you guys need the tea party guys, the third party guy or i think it's bye-bye harry. >> i think what we're seeing is right wing talkers and talk show hosts align themselves with the tea party. for instance in minnesota you have michele bachmann having an event with sarah palin coming in. i think hannity is going to be part of this. this is hannity most recently on his show last week talking about the tea partiers and how

one in nevada and now one in georgia. but the alleged victim in georgia could go to a civil court to seek remedy. now last night, ben roethlisberger stepped to the microphone for the very first time ever. he wanted to impart a message. take a listen. >> i am truly sorry for the disappointment and negative attention i have brought to my family, my teammates, coaches, the rooneys and the nfl. i understand that the opportunities i have been blessed with are privilege and much is expected of me as a quarterback of the pittsburgh steelers. i absolutely want to be the leader this team deserves, valued in the community and a role model to kids. i have much work to do to earn this trust, and i am committed to improving and showing everyone my true values. >> if you listen carefully, he never admits anything in that. and that's important going into possibly a civil case just saying he was a disappointment. so sort of morally he's talking about. well, you know, fred bright, the district attorney in georgia, had said yesterday that

majority leader read is facing a and collection battle back in nevada. senator john mccain is facing reelection battle in arizona and he is being attacked on the right for not being strong enough on border security. his position is to go forward with border security bill even though he supported comprehensive reform in the past. host: to this story from yahoo!, obama takes immigration reform of the agenda. this is something he said last night on air force one. guest: yes, he said he does not see an avenue for doing health care reform. that sent a shock on capitol hill, especially for lobbyist groups who are for immigration reform. the view that as being counterproductive. however, yesterday the white house kind of walked back those comments. the white house put out a statement where by president obama said the outline looks good and he looks forward to working with members of congress in order to advance the bill. i think president obama's initial comments were viewed(9s not being very productive, but since then the white house has kind of walked back a

first stop march 27th, three cities in nevada including harry reid's hometown of searchlight.are furious about the health care bill and our own griff jenkins has been covering the events. >> reporter: at the center of the tea party movement the recently passed health care legislation appears to be a driving force. repealing it seems to be the rallying call. concern it will lead to rising cost and reduction in the quality of care as we learned when we spent time with them in nevada last weekend we they kicked off that across country trek with governor sarah palin leading the charge. >> it is such a crock obama care is every hour people are going to find out more and more about what it entails and how it adversely affects our nation as individuals, as businesses, as families, it is a tremendous hurt on our country it does tell you someth-a if fidel castro says he thinks obama care is just fine. these people say obama care is not just fine. >> we as americans have to stand up. >> too much money. this is ridiculous. >> we elected those people to serve us and they are not doing th

here's part of what cardinal william lovado in nevada who leads the church's congregation.ot proud of america's newspaper of record, "the new york times" as a paragon of fairness. asked the "times" to reconsider the attack mode on pope benedict. ann thompson, let me ask you about this. this is a big-picture question. does the vatican know how deep the trouble it's in? we've got a new poll out that shows the pope, you don't usually poll the pope. but he's down 20 points among everybody. your thoughts? their thoughts? >> yeah, and it's not -- it's not just in the united states. they're seeing similar declines in germany. yes, does the vatican understand that this is a big serious issue? absolutely. does it respond in the way that we are used to having political organizations respond? or multinational corporations respond to a crisis? the answer is, absolutely not. you've got 0 remember, that this is a big bureaucracy. and italian-dominated bureaucracy. and it moves extraordinarily slowly. but i will tell you, chris, that if the vatican were to put out talking points, the firs

nevada is first in the country in foreclosures.and you look at the-- . >> woodruff: you can understand that. >> yeah. >> they are also enterprisers, individualists who are often self-made, small businesspeople. so they don't believe in government help. they believe much more individualistic initiative. i have to say the tea party movement is fascinating an worth talking about. but the pew poll you mentioned and many of the other polls show the real action is in the center of the electorate. the big thing that happened in the last couple of months or years is that the independents have moved to the republican party in large number. so the democratic party advantage which was 11 points is gone. the democratic favor ability rating is down 22%. so the big povment is in the center. >> woodruff: we're going to leave it there. we're glad to have the two of you in the center with us. >> one of the two of us . >> woodruff: david brooks, mark shields, thank you. >> brown: finally tonight, a pulitzer prize for pointed political satire that's

if there's a third ballot to go to, this is the strategy of harry reid in nevada, they have been talkings for months and months. so, anytime you get a group like this and there's no organized leadership here, unlike the perot movement, anything can happen. there's no guarantee they won't be mad at republicans. they can turn on republicans as quickly as they can. they don't like what's going on in washington, d.c. and they are going to do something about it. >> at the end of the day, have to have a centralized movement. you can't have all these parties and people calling themselves tea party activists. the reform party was able to do that. >> a new poll looking ahead to 2012. which gop has the votes now. we'll let you know in a second. text your answers to ac360. >>> the list of what i don't like is getting longer and longer. that's right. you heard me tofu, bacon and the professional bowling tour. what i will always love and has become the foundation of my career are little people. >> queen of comedy tonight. chelsea handler. >>> she may be the most talked about republican candidate, but
