tancredo? >> the way in which the entire campaign has developed, starting two months ago to three months ago. it is now at a level that i must admit i am even surprised at. arnett and neck in most polls i have seen -- we are neck and ne ck in most polls i have seen. it is one of the more interesting aspects of this campaign, undeniably. >> dan maes, the strangest part of the journey for you? >> it has been 20 months now. having so much momentum going into the primary, winning the primary, and expecting a lot of good support after the primary that mightnd out not not be there. how'd we just, keep moving for, and achieve our goals? then dealing with the entry of another candidate into the race is definitely interesting for all of us. >> thank you. mr. hickenlooper are? >> this grant is part has been for us -- the strangest part has been for us to look at who we are running against. for a long time, it was scott mcinnis attacking me. then it was dan maes and scott mcinnis. now it is tom tancredo a

okay, if tancredo wins, i'll eat your tie next week. >> tom tancredo is gaining and i have a feelinge has the momentum now and he has money pouring in and he may be able to pull this off. the bigger question about these ads is that a lot of the democrats, republicans, too. but mostly democrats are running negative personal attack ads against their opponent because they don't have a message. what are they supposed to run on? an economic message? the economy is very, very shaky. high unemployment. all that is left for the democrats is sort of this knee jerk reaction to go after their opponents in a personal way. hickenlooper is okay, best atta it's going to go to you. >> against barbra boxer. sitting democratic senator being challenged by carly fiorina. >> barbra boxer failed to protect california jobs. praises the stimulous plan while 2 1/4 million californians are unemployed. trillions in deficits. billions in taxes. our hopes crushed by washington. the legacy of barbra boxer. >> question, will the boxer, fiorina contest go down to the wire? >> whenever i hear that doomsday voice and

tancredo, would you answer? >> i agree that -- to the greatest extent possible, we should be making sure that people have the ability to have the kinds of things that other married people have in terms of access at the time, if someone's in the hospital, being able to see them, being able to make sure you leave your will, it can go to anybody you want, but of course, that's not being jeopardized to anyone i know. but there are basic things that i believe are absolutely true in terms of rights that all americans have. but marriage is between a man and a woman. >> in the past year, colorado has struggled with how to handle medical marijuana. it seems they were popping up on every street corner, so pete in grand junction wants to know, how do you feel about medical marijuana and why not have a 5% sales tax on it? mr. maes, we'll start with you. >> well, i've been very clear about this as well for many, many months. i was opposed to medical plarne, but now it's part of our constitution. if there's one thing i been t

tancredo joins us next. fresh off the firing from npr, juan williams appears live on "fox news sunday" talking about his dismissal. coming up you'll hear his reaction. my doctor said most calcium supplements... aren't absorbed properly unless taken with food. he recommended citracal. it's different -- it's calcium citrate, so it can be absorbed with or without food. also available in small, easy-to-swallow petites. citracal. you know, if we had let fedex office pri our presentation, they could have shipped it too. saved ourselves the hassle. i'm not too sure about this. look at this.

we will start with congressman tancredo. as we go, i will try to have a different person answer first each time. if i forget, please remind me. i am sure you will. first, how will you create jobs for carter? >> we create jobs by one way? it is pie -- it is by private enterprise, not the government. what does that mean? that means you make a much better and different environment for private business in colorado than presently exists. we have driven businesses out of the state. the mayor has driven businesses out of denver, including frontier airlines. he wants a green economy. green economy is a nice phrase, but it does not mean anything in terms of either providing the energy we need for providing jobs. there are no jobs in the green economy. there are plenty of jobs in taking oil and gas out of the ground. we can do it. we can do it without leaving a footprint that is harming the land. it will always be a trade-off. you cannot possibly have all one thing or the other. you cannot have a pristine environment and a lot of jobs

if dan maes is out tancredo might surge to the top of the polls.state, not to tell you the tancredo surge is one of the hottest political stories not just of colorado, but of the nation and it's not a three-way race. dan maes is a nonentity now, pretty much every major, mainstream republican official in the state, elected officials, retired officials, have abandoned man maes and the tea party activists. look at the debate. there's hickenlooper hiding behind dan maes' skirt and when he takes there on the stage, he's many by hickenlooper. >> no question about it, it was an obamaesque, bitter clingy statement about rural voters and i think he's going to pay for it at the polls. >> meanwhile, michelle, let's talk about how the democrats, there's been a lot of hue and cry about all of the big money that's poured into these mid term elections from big donors. well, it turns out that the democrats have perhaps the biggest donors of all, who are they? >> of course, it's big labor. and you know, the left has gotten away with casting the republican party as

but enough to knock out tom tancredo out. the republicans are actually urging him quietly to get out of the race. if he doesn't, well, then the mayor of denver, who is john hickenlooper who is popular could win and it's easternic what's happening in terms of the republicans battling essentially their party. >> it's complicated, but very interesting. >> all politics local and the race by race fascinating. >> absolutely. >> npr fire analyst juan williams as you know for comments that he made on bill o'reilly's show about muslims. our next guest says the move is something else entirely. >> then, are democrats perfectly tossing a helping hand to the candidates who had no shot of winning in an effort to siphon votes from republicans? >> and alisyn, what song just gets in your head and it won't ever leave? it's called an ear worm. we want to know what yours are. >> mine is, i just haven't met you yet. >> that's a great song. i wish that was suck in my head. >> i apologize to you will an of you, it will be in your head for the rest

in the race for colorado, governor democrat john hickenlooper leads tom tancredo 45% to 39.3% while dan maes comes in at 11%. joe sestak trails republican pat toomey by just two points 46.5% to 44.5%. and in nevada, senate incumbent harry reid and sharron angle are virtually deadlocked. 45.6% for angle. 45 pulp 2% for reid. very interesting tight races across the board here. back with me is fox news contributor susan etheridge and science professor. susan, what are we going to see from the candidates in these close races that are too close to call in this final week? >> oh, desperation. i mean, everybody is going to be going all out. if you are bored with the tv commercials already, you are going to just get more bored. i do think those races are interesting, kimberly, because, you know, angle has raised a ton of money. she has had everybody in there i think at the end of the day people in nevada who have got 15% unemployment may decide that it's in their better interest to stick with harry reid. so,. >> why? >> that one looks pretty good to me. >> why do you say that? >> because senior

three sam brownback, tom tancredo and potential 2012 nominee mike huckabee raised their hands.nd rejecting a cornerstone of science. with the rise of the tea party the ratio of scientific literacy to illiteracy for candidates for national office appear worse. florida senate candidate marco rube yoe tried to undermine the teaching of evolution in in schools of his state. christine o'donnell said evolution is a theory. creationism is believing that the world began as a bible and genesis says god created the world in six days, six 24-hour periods and there is just as much evidence supporting that. nevada senate candidate sharron angle, quote, we weren't there. we can't see and hear for ourselves and say this is how it happened. when we try to raise logical thinkers we have to give them every argument. not to mention the 2012 favorite that ran for vice president with one of the last leaders to admit he believes in evolution. on that note let's bring in a professor who researches language and cognition in harvard and author of the blank slate. denial of human nature among other word

then we had former representative tom tancredo, who retired previously, running, and he is focusing in on immigration. when you look at the polls coming out of there lately, he is just a couple of points within hickenlooper, and he has sort of replaced maes as the de facto republican nominee. host: florida. rick scott, alex sink. the polls go back and forth. guest: this is one of the tightest races in the country. the quinnipiac poll came out this morning showing sync with her first lead. she is up three points. this mirrors what we have seen in the race. scott came out of the primary, he was not the favored over bill mccollum, and was having trouble coalescing republicans behind him. but he has spent an overwhelming amount of his fortune on the race. that is what sink is hammering him on. he invoked the fifth amendment when his columbia hca was under investigation. making accusations of his wild spending. over $60 million of his own funds. they are both neck and neck. host: what is his position? guest: he is the florida cfo. host: another tight race is in illinois. pat quinn and brady

you hear former republican congressman tom tan cray doe open the tea party con -- tom tancredo open the. he says, this is our country, let's take it back. who has tom's country? we don't have it. sarah palin wants to get them to understand that what this country was built on, get back to the foundation of america. if you ask black people what this country was founded on, it was found on slave labor. what does all that mean? when you listen to sarah palin, it's great rhetoric, but what does it mean? she says, well it's pretty simple. it's a smaller government, smarter government, not growing government to control more of our lives and businesses and make decisions for us. again, it's great rhetoric but what does it mean? how do you get there? how does she operationalize what it is that she's trying to convey? when you think about it, you come down to understand that this really has absolutely nothing to do with us. i mean, it's hard to sell less government to a constituency that needed its government to help end slavery, jim crow, desegregate schools, integrate the armed services and pas

we will reverse the order for the first question and start with congressman tancredo.you create jobs for colorado? >> we create jobs one way, and it is by private enterprise, it is not by the government. the government can only do things that impede the actions we take in the private industry to create jobs. it means you make a much better and different environment for private business in colorado than presently exists. we have driven businesses out of the state. the mayor has driven businesses out of denver, including frontier airlines. the governor has driven: gas businesses out of the state because he wants a green economy. green economy is a nice phrase. does not mean anything in terms of pricing -- providing the energy we need or providing jobs. there are no jobs in the green economy. there are plenty of jobs taking oil and gas out of the ground. we can do it without leaving a footprint that is harming the land. to the extent possible, you have to make sure that exists. it is always going to be a trade-off. it cannot possibly have all one thing or the other. you c
