can you talk about the sarah palin factor in the midterm election. she screwed up the new york state election. is there something -- will she have an influence? >> i wanted her to endorse jane harman in the primary. fortunately, she did not. >> i think ashura palin is a shiny, metal object for the media. i see that with people that i work with. oh my god -- who cares? i do not think she has -- in a primary, she could have some influence. i do not think he will see her in swing districts. she is a very polarizing figure in the same way tha. i do not think there is a pale and factor. i want to make one pull about the media. -- i do not think there is a sarah palin factor. i want to make 1 point about the media. the members of the congress over respond to the rhetoric, whether it is on a cable channel -- >> it is ultimately reaching a relatively small audience. let's take a back up here. we only have a couple of minutes. give me one-word answers. >> we are politicians. >> chalk. if republicans take over the house or senate or both, would you expect to s
