regent university, pat robertson, picture perfect marriage. one of the things the jury didn't believe was the sudden fact that they were all going in the other direction. the other thing that's going on here legally is that the definition that the judge accepted in this case of what is an official act that somebody receiving money or favors is doing is so broad that if i were a politician anywhere in america i would be worried a federal grand jury could go after me, even if i did nothing official, nothing legal, no administrative change, no legal change. if i set up a meeting with a guy, i could be cooked. that's what happened to bob mcdonnell here. >> if the governor comes to your wife's birthday party, wow. he showed up with a state trooper. that's public business. right? by the way, we live in a city where ambassadorships go to bundlers, people who raise money in elections. who gets invited to state dinners when the president of france arrives. you look at the list. it's bundlers. >> a lot of people say is that unethical? it's been done for

"scrambled politics" is next. >>> there's a new poll out there that shows that if the presidential election were held today, hillary clinton might actually beat chris christie in his home state of new jersey. while another poll shows that if the election were held today, president obama would be tight. get me out of here! get me out! >> now here's your first look at this morning's dish of "scrambled politics." in kansas, senator pat roberts is in the political fight of his life. and now he's getting help from big-name republicans. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell will headline a fund-raiser for roberts later this month. senator john mccain and rand paul will also campaign for the kansas senator this fall. >>> speaking of rand paul, he picked up an unconventional supporter, should he run for president in 2016. you'll remember this comedian. he tells "the hill" that, quote, rand

but this afternoon, the secretary of state, who is a member of pat robertson's honorary statewide campaignommittee said, this has nothing to do with party. the law is the law. joining me now is steve kornacki. steve, it looks like this might be a case of the law is the law. >> yeah, i've seen the law is the law in other states and courts have stepped in and done some funky things. in judge, they allowed frank lautenberg back on a ballot 30 days before the election. if he name appears on the ballot, what is that threshold? he'll get some votes, but the question is at what point does it make a difference between orman win thing thing and not just having enough anti-pat robert votes out there to carry it? >> the law seems to indicate to get your name off the ballot, you have to certify -- after you've been nominated, you have to certify you're incapable of serving in the senate. even if that happens, they turn to the party and say give us another name. so it's kind of -- it looks like the first read of kansas law is it's got to be a name in a democratic slot. >> the interesting thing is chad

kansas, the race that we thought senator pat robertson had it in a walk.t changed, the democrat's out, ruining against an incumbent. how do you see the senate landscape and what does it feel like? >> this may prove i'm a self-hating pundit but i love the fact the pundits can't figure it out. you have the complicated mathematical models that say 5 #-49 the republicans will take over. that's a very sophisticated way of saying who knows? i think what governs this election overall is republicans hoping and believing president obama's unpopularity is enough to carry them through, and the president is down, but the republicans aren't really offering very much, and a lot of these democrats are saying, wait a minute, what would you cut? what kinds of -- do you have anything for working people who are -- who have been hammered by this economy? so i think you have an electorate who hands figured out what this campaign is about because i don't think the politicians have figured what it's about. i think kansas is a state that's going to be perhaps the most interesting
