every governor seeking re-election from milton shap to ed rendell goes to the voters and says when you elected me, i agreed to do a, b, and c. govenor corbett is going to the voters to say i want four more years to do a, b, and c. the govenors in the past can say i've had these big successes. the other problem is penn state hurting him among republicans in the heartland. go back to something these two said, renee and brian which is the communication challenges the governor has. the last problem is the general economy is tough, there's still too many people feel the state is moving in the wrong direction, i think that's a function of jobs and not big pay hikes and people struggling, no sense that we've turned the corner on the recession. >> as we continue this discussion here, another thing that you found here with your poll, terry, those who believe corbett deserves re-election, 26%. almost 3 quarters. >> that's right, and many of them are republicans, i agree with brian, i think the governor has done a better job in recent months campaigning. better on message. when you introduce the

joining me now, ed rendell and angela rye. thanks for being here. governor, let me go to you first. what's your reaction to sarah palin calling for the president's impeachment over this humanitarian crisis? >> i am both furious and happy. i'm furious that sarah palin, the republican party and people in congress are talking impeach lt. the constitution says you can impeach for high crimes and misdemeanors. there is nothing president obama has done that's remotely close to a high crime or a misdemeanor. they can disagree with policy. one thing cited was the epa controlling emissionses from coal plants. you can disagree. you can say it's a wrong policy. it is not impeachable. it's why we have elections. i'm furious that political party and people who held public office could stoop so low as to do nothing but rile up the base. they knows there is no chance of success. i thought at the beginning of the year it would be a tough year for democrats. by asking so bizarrely, the republicans are trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. that's what's going to happen. when they impeache

michael steele is chairman of the rnc and ed rendell was president of pennsylvania. i'm not talking about you. as rahm emanuel says you never want a serious crisis to go to waste. today, funding for the national highway system was on life support, set to die in the heart of summer driving season. late this afternoon however the house passed a short-term patch, if you will, basically a band aid which puts off the crisis for a few months. earlier this year president obama announced a plan to revitalize the country's road system and the right wing rejected or, worse yet, ignored. hours before congress was set to kick the can down the road today president obama slammed enemieses on the right for running a legislative circus. here's the p president. >> in response, their plan so far has not been to join me and say, all right, mr. president, you're right. we theed to rebuild roads. we need to spruce up the airports. instead the big idea has been to sue me. that's what they are spending time on. a little bitle call stunt that wastes america's time and taxpayer dollars. it's

joining me now, a former pennsylvania governor, ed rendell, and political strategist angela rye. you both for joining me. >> thank you, rev. >> my pleasure. >> governor, it's frustrating that the go pis refusing to do their jobs. but does this represent an opportunity for the president to act? >> absolutely. the president in the past has missed opportunities, in my judgment, to be a strong leader, to convey to the american people that he's going to get things done. he's been frustrated. sometimes you can tell he's lost patience with the congress. but now he's acting on his own and acting on issues that the mujert of the american people, the significant majority of american people agree with. he's looking like a strong leader. that will be his benefit and the benefit of democrats in the mid-term elision, and also, as you pointed out in the last segment, be a crushing blow to republicans. if this is the last thing they see, the inability to do anything about the border. the last thing about the border problem before the elenction, i think it will energize the democrat, base, the la

both velma and governor rendell touched on a few of those with obviously infrastructure and ways that we could, you know, really redo the tax code in ways that are pro growth. those are huge priorities. the problem isn't really inversion. the problem is we have companies really looking to escape the country to get out from under this burden. and that's unhealthy. we need to fix the real problem, which is the tack code. i would love to see him talk about where we can get my trade. another pro growth area we need to get to. we need to get these trade deals done so we can start, you know, exporting to more markets and getting the benefits of trade in both directions. it would be a huge boost for growth and eventually the trade agreement with europe as well. >> you know, listen, tony, you're spot on act the tax inversions. fortune magazine's cover said unpatriotic. many people might away that is the case. but that can also be used, unfortunately, as a boogie man by congress for other problems. could it snot yes, these are big deals. these companies will still pay taxes in the united state

one sells nothing but bright rendel sandals and the other one sells nothing but bright blue rubber boots disappointed in choices. >> isn't there a case to be made -- i understand from your situation it must be frustrating to hear them say this. i imagine you saying if you want to unify the opposition, you get out of the race. i could imagine that. at the same point when you look at the results from 2010, it is true, if it had been a one-on-one race with somebody, lepage doesn't get in in the first place. >> that's a defense of says tell that's broken right now. most voters in maine are disenchanted with both parties. in the last senate election when the democrat won 12% of the vote -- >> angus king. >> we had democrat nominated by the democratic primary, republican nominated from the republican primary. both went into the general election with votes of less than 5% of the state of mairn. mainr maine voters are disenchanted. >> paul lepage isn't an ordinary incumbent it's safe to say. he's made national headlines. this week it's with this sort of far right group it has been marked as a do
