she spoke to sean hannity.bout a tweet from sarah palin that told o'donnell on delaware voters. >> she is right governor palin is right that's a great piece of advice that's what we are doing. i had business in new york today, so thank you for having me on. our focus is kell wear i'm going back to delaware we've got a luncheon. i fell behind my mortgage i had a pro bono client that was very important. it was 18 hours a day. a disabled woman who the courts ruled to remove her feeding tube. it was a life or death case. her father said i can't pay you, but will you help me save her life? you can't say no i worked several months for free. i fell behind in my mortgage. then i had this opportunity to become the nominee 2008 to run against joe biden. i had to make a difficult decision. either take on another client and get caught in my bills. instead, because i thought it was important that someone oppose joe biden and what he wanted to do in the u.s. senate. i sold my house to make all my bills right. paid off all of

she needs the tea ball, that only sean hannity can serve up. gets to write her own questions, for god's sakes. here's the weird thing though that i find it interesting, she picked hannity, ed, because both you and i listen to his radio show and that's kind of three hours of masturbation there. so that's a little surprising. >> i don't make a habit of it myself. california gubernatorial race is going on and meg whitman brought in new jersey governor chris christie who got more than arrogant with ed buck who is a multimillionaire who was on this program earlier tonight. and really talked him down, speak to the arrogance, stephanie, what's this big, fat guy all about? >> wow, ed, it is getting good out here in california. as you may or may not know, meg whitman actually was accused of shoving an employee in the ebay boardroom and then this thing looked like a scene out of "sopranos." i thought that someone was going to get a lead pipe in the head in a minute and i must say the heckler that stood up though said to christine whitman -- or meg whitma

this hope and change because you are lethargic. >> right now they have to blame fox news and you sean hannity or the american people. the president showed that in the "rolling stone" magazine he's blaming box. >> sean: we are destructive. >> you are bad for the country. i was very surprised at that rolling stone interview one that he gave it at all. after he came down so hard on mcchrystal for giving rolling stone an interview. i thought it was interesting. i think it is revealing that he thinks a month before election his big idea is to do a "rolling stone" interview. >> sean: now they are going after john boehner alleging affairs. unfounded. democrats are desperate. you can see it on their faces. >> sean: they are desperate. sandra, you deal with business everyday. let me show everybody the recession's impact on us. this is above the fold, u.s.a. today's edition they talk about people putting off marriage, fewer people moving. people's real income down considerably. it is impacting people. can they go out to dinner? can they go on vacation? congress leaves today. some democrats voted with r

but people like karl rove went after her and sean hannity a few weeks ago, they savaged her the night she won. i've said all along the republicans aren't going to win the senate, she's probably not going to win delaware. the republican establishment turned on her so viciously because she dared to beat their precious mike castle. they're eating their own. the humor here and the irony is the media and republicans are so focused on christine o'donnell they're not focusing on sharron angle, linda mcmahon, all of these candidates breathing a sigh of relief. >> i think the o'donnell story compounds that narrative about sharron age skpl adds fuel to that fire. the reason there was conservative concern about her winning from magazines like "the weekly standard," "reason" called her a crack pot, they knew mike castle could win joe biden's seat and that would move them towards winning the senate. they knew this would be a disaster coming down the pike. >> we've got to take a break. appreciate you guys being on. thank you. >>> just ahead, the watchdog group christine o'do notal is n threatening

make sure you write sean hannity and tell him he should be

i want chuck to jump in here, karl rove and sean hannity on fox last night with one point of view. let's listen. >> it does conservatives little good to support candidates who at the end of the day, while they may be conservative in their public statements, do not evince the characteristics of rectitude and truthfulness and sincerity and character that the voters looking for. there's just a lot of nutty things she's been saying. sounds like you don't support them, but i will tell you -- >> i'm for the republican, but i got to tell you, we were looking at eight to nine seats in the senate, we are now looking at seven to eight in my opinion. this is not a race we are going to be able to win. >> one point of view, a bad night for republicans, the winger won. here is another point of view, chuck, respond to this here is limbaugh today reacting to karl rove, let's listen. >> why not fight for it? castle is okay as the 51st vote but this woman isn't, with her character problems, her rectitude? the democrats, for crying out loud, what do we hear about the character of ted kennedy? what do

schedule so that i can meet the voters. >> well, that's it, no national news shows except for sean hannity tonight on fox. she says she's going to spend time with delaware voters and because that's what counts. well, we got a lot to talk about in this hour ahead as we focus on it, gary tuchman has been reporting on the o'donnell campaign since last week trying to get her to answer those specific questions. what jumped out at you in the interview tonight? >> reporter: it is a delicious irony she went on national media to say she didn't want to talk to the national media. but we did watch and listen, and we did not hear a lot when it came to her elaborating the stuff we checked out the past week, for example, what about the claim that you've spend $20,000 in campaign funding for personal expenditures she said she did not. it was just left at that. but opponents of hers and opponents are mostly republicans talking to us, not democrats, she kept stressing they were democratic owe poen e7b9s. republicans have been talking to us about this. they stress they believe she's lived on campaign contri

karl rove promptly savaged her on fox while sean hannity's head spun a full 360 degrees. the half governor has just tweeted pleading for conservative focus. i thought ms. o'donnell didn't like that. gop cannibalism next. everyone knows a fee is a tax. you raised some taxes during that period, particularly the property tax as well as a lot of fee increases. as you know, there's a big difference between fees and taxes. but...they're the same. it's a tax. it's a tax. it's a tax. it's a tax. there's a big difference between fees and taxes. fees and taxes are one in the same. if it comes out of my pocket, it's a tax. now he says it isn't true. we didn't raise taxes. what? still doing the same thing, paying out more money. typical politician. definitely. >>> karl rove will not go gently into the tea party night. the man they all worship is studly on the s list. rove versus o'donnell again, and palin's pleading tweet. the democrats are largely sitting back and watching, but not the president. he has today attacked the republicans for blocking his tax cuts. times are tough, but t

. >> a lot of hot issues, here is christine o'donnell on fox news with sean hannity. in cole to newcastle. let's listen. >> not going to do any more national media because this is my focus, delaware is my focus and the local media is my focus and it's frustrating because i've let the local media know they're my priority, but our phones are ringing off of the hook that they can't get to me. so it's actually become an interference with the campaign. >> a confusion here, joan. i'm stuttering with confusion. says she doesn't like the national media and telling it to sean hannity. what's he? is he mr. local yokel now all of a sudden? >> listen it is insulting to delaware reporters, not going to like delaware media any better. sharron angle tried the strategy, doesn't like local nevada media better. people are going to ask questions, she is an embarrassment. i don't think anybody has to worry about that. all watching our friend bill maher say he is going to be releasing more of this great stuff from the '80s. you know, chris, i don't regret the '80s, she regrets the '80s. s

. >> i'm all over that >> sean: when do you think sean hannity is going to quote the daily beast and ught you would do that. but go ahead. >> sean: i'm not making fun. gail shehee reports the president is in town. big u.n. conference. the president has a fundraiser at the roosevelt hotel. they offer cheap tickets $100, discounted in some cases to $50. the room holds 650 not a big room for a political event especially for the president. they can't sell it out. 450 people in a room for 650. four e-mails two phone calls later to her alone to try and get her through there. >> i think it is one of the reasons why he went to church because therowd feels obligated to stay. this president is having a problem. i don't know if he understands or not there's not a democrat running for congress that is embracing either him or his policies. because they know it is the kiss of death for their elections. >> sean: that's key. none of them running on their records. health care, stimulus, debt, deficit. the only thing they've got left is what? smear, attack, ad hominem. is it going to work? >> no. two t

no, but here's the point. >> sean: tax cheat tim geithner, major misjudgments. if hannitywon, she would be up for ethics violations. she -- >> sean: go to her website and read the answers. >> karl rove doesn't think so. >> sean: maxine waters, charlie rangel, will jam jefferson, culture of corruption. i thought nancy pelosi was going to drain the swamp? >> why are you so shocked? it is inherent some of the do-gooders are going to take extra for themselves. >> new yorkers have always been looking for a crook they can trust. and they found that crook in charlie rangel, but they can't trust him. it makes me laugh. it is laughable they would paint the tea partiers as nuts when you look at the things they said from nancy pelosi saying birth control is stimulative to unemployment checks create jobs. [ talking over each other ] >> you get an unemployment check that is stimulus. >> sean: you know what would have been stimulus? job creation. let's go to ted strickland and john kasich. part of the ongoing debate, a lot of personal attacks. >> he also called the leader of lehman a go

e mail sean hannity. o'reilly factor is next. good night from washington. closed captioning services, inc a reason. i am not going to teach the class today. you will understand in a second. the president pledges to spend billions in foreign aid and we are near disaster at home. why not spend the money here? common sense, right? why is the president capping our wells in the gulf of mexico but loaning mexico billions of dollars to drill for oil in the gulf of mexico? the seem place where it is too dangerous. that doesn't make any sense. until you can explain the most veation behind the president's moves, until you can explain why enacting policies harmful to america is good, seemingly for the president or the administration, people continue to have individual stories and say, no big deal and they will ask this question, they say why are they collapsing the system? what is the nottive? what would his motive be? how do they possibly gain? what a great question! by the end of tonight's program, i believe you will have that answer. and you will have the answer on

. >> sean: hannity first. >> i don't know if i would recollection machine that. >> sean: i would highly recollection -- recommend that. >> sean: i would highly recommend that. the fact congress going to leave washington go into an election and not let people know ha their tax rates are going to be january 1st? >> that is incredible. >> sean: 37 democrats said they would vote to extend the bush tax cuts. >> there will be no vote before the election because the democrats are split. they've had two years with a majority in the house and senate and cannot tell us what our tax rate is going to be january 1st, of this year. >> it is such a confusing strategy. they decided to play an issue where the republicans are always on offense, which is on tax cuts. >> sean: guys good to see you. thank you both. we break down the five new polls that could signal a republican take over in the senate. later south dakota senator thune reacts to what many are calling the ugliest political ad in history that comes courtesy of alan greyson. first it is text vote tuesday. we want to know what issue is impacting

. >> by the way, that's what karl rove said last night on sean hannity's show. and it's going to make it next to impossible -- >> we shouldn't say the tea party movement is dangerous or evil or nutty. if they nominate people who can't win general elections, it's going to hurt the republican party. >> how do you ignore them, take paladino, for example, he goes to the party convention and gets 8% of the vote and this guy win it is nomination, what message does that send to the establishment? >> it is a state-by-state race. my example is sort of parallel to this example. when we had debates in '94, there were like 150 people in my home county that were part of the party. they all got together. they said, okay, let's get representatives from all five camps to figure out who is going to -- what the rules are for the debate. they had to suspend it because out of the 150 top republican leaders in my home county, not one of them supported me. so sometimes some years running against the party is the best thing to do in '94 and 2010. >> you understand it also better than

sean hannity fourth, 35% positive. 25% negative. and jon stewart fifth. 34% positive, 22% negative. what does all this mean? clearly the fox news channel has become the most important media outlet in the country. i don't think there is any question about that secondly, our cable competition doesn't even show up. third, network news does remain a force but no longer leads. fourth, the republican race in 2012 wide open. and, fifth, president obama has an enormous problems to overcome. and that's the memo. a bit later on, bernie goldberg will analyze the media component of the poll. but, for now, our top story reaction, joining us from washington fnc political analyst brit hume. good news for us and always -- and what was the most surprising thing you saw in the poll. >> the poll was arrangely in line with the other polling we have seen. the only real stunner is that 49% of the public believe that you are having a positive impact on the debate in america. and only 32% thought negative. you know, they need to rerun those numbers. >> bill: you think so? maybe the question wasn't worded p

she talks to sean hannity about the witchcraft comment. >> here's the best of the rest. tine o'donnell fights back. the nation's buzzing about senate republican candidate. minutes ago, she spoke to sean hannitiy, who asked her about a tweet from sarah palin that told her to focus on delaware voters. >> she's absolutely right. governor palin is right. that's a great piece of advice. that's exactly what we are doing. hisome business in new york today, so thank you for having me on, but our focus joys on delaware. we have a pact scheduled tomorrow and attending a ladies luncheon. i fell behind in my mortgage, hia pro bono client. i worked 18 hours a day. it was a disabled woman, who the courts ruled to remove her feeding tube. it was a life-or-death case. her father came to me and said, i can't pay you, but will you help me save her life? you can't say no to that. i worked several months for free and i fell behind on my mortgage and i got the opportunity to run in 2008. i had a decision -- take on a client and get caught up on my bills. but instead, because i thought it was
