. >> this is a nonpresidential year. it's not a dead issue. >> they do not want to appeal obama care. >> to people who are on wall street -- >> we got a lot to talk about on obama care and bring out a couple other economic issues. >> in 2014. >> we can talk about that, there are a couple other issues that i think will play in 2014. i can't predict what the president will say in the state of the union address -- but i have a feeling he'll talk about pretty core economic issues. talk about this "usa today" poll despite what joel said about public polls. from yesterday. >> he likes this one. >> 63% of the american people support extending unemployment. and 73% of the american people support raising the minimum wage. we're likely to hear about those issues in the state of the union. your party stands in the way of both. they won't bring it up for a vote, they won't extend unemployment insurance. you're on the wrong side of these issues, isn't that a problem going into -- >> no, it's not. if you ask people in a poll, do you s

they demonstrated in the offyear, if you will, the nonpresidential year that they're willing to come to the table and play as we've seen in the past. >> but what happened -- why did 2010 go the direction it went? all the state houses went republican. all the state legislatures went republican. they grabbed the house by what, 60-some votes. >> yep. >> they're on the verge right now of taking back the senate, because people, minority, young people, old people have a hard time voting. what do republicans try to do? try to make it harder. more voter requirements. >> we didn't have to do that in 2010. >> you're doing it. your party is still doing it. >> i like to think what we did in 2010 to get those incredible wins is talk to people about health care, talk to people about the issues of the time. we didn't have to engage in trying to change the voting outcome through the ballot box. >> the democrat base vote in 2010 that allowed the republicans to get in and gerrymander the hell out of these states and make it impossible for democrats to win statewide and diminish the power of minority v

unique -- she is not had to run with this few of registered democrats before in this state in a nonpresidential year always find the half vote in louisiana. i don't know where they get it. >> you get that in louisiana, boston. >> come on. >> chicago, illinois. >>> gene, senator indicate hagan in north carolina. some said the cut aways we saw of her applauding the president is about as close she will be to the president the next 12 months. as david said about mary landrieu, about her record and she supported obamacare a. if you run away from the president you're running away from the reality of what you represented the last six years. >> yeah, you can't run that far, as david pointed out. you know, i think north carolina is one of those states where turnout and the composition of the electorate on election day and this off-year election will really make a big difference and if i were running that race, that would be where my focus was, try to get as many voters to the poll as i could and to counter what could be a tough race for her. >> all right. >>> let's move on to jeb, can we? i want nicole to an

people viewed this as a nonpresidential party meaning a republican year. let's look at 2014.ost house seats and house districts are safe. we've assigned the seats to the parties. the 50 most competitive districts you see on the map. the blue are democratic, red are republican. if you take them out, john boehner needs only 8 of 50. look how easy it would be. just winning 8 of those 50 and john boehner keeps the speaker's gavel. republicans think they'll do better. here is why the hill is so steep for the democrats and nancy pelosi. of the 50 districts, she would need to win 43. a lot of those districts are red republican districts in what shapes up to be a republican year. the wisdom now in washington is forget about the government shutdown, it is a republican year at the moment. democrats will tell you privately they expect democrats to make single digit gangs. van and s.e.? >> i like that map. >> thanks to john king or should i say, no thanks. >> don't blame the messenger. >> exactly. here's my view. i think to win big in 2014 obama has to go bik tonight. i've got a couple i
