>> davis, as the underdog, is presented with an immediate problem and it was there on the map. he has all this vast territory that's now part of the confederacy that has to be defended and he's got perhaps half or less of the manpower resources of the north. he has no choice but to be on the defensive. it was argued at the time and has been argued since he would have had much more successful if he had simply abandoned arkansas and texas as indefensible and moved all the resources to the east but that was political suicide, because he's creating a new nation, a civil democracy in which texas is just as entitled to be defended by its army as virginia. he has this practical reality of two few men to defend too much territory, territory that geographically is not favorable to the confederacy in large part and the rivers, especially west of the appalachians, tend to go into the confederacy as natural avenues of invasion, whereas the potomac is a wonderful barrier or briefly was a wonderful barrier in the east. so i don't think he had much choice but to come up with what he called th

some underdog.you were the financial underdog four years ago ignoring or denies the fact that you outspent john mccain 2 to 1. i wonder if you think people don't look this stuff up or check your facts out. surely you would know that they would find you were more than fibbing. some might discover you're serially lying about a past that never was and promises that were never fulfilled. it's human nature for politicians to gloss over history and quite another to lie about it. to add insult to injury, make excuses for it. playing the victim because you never seem to be the economic victor. republicans who stopped you, even though in your first two years you had the control of congress and complete run of the table. nefarious billionaires out to get you, but not a word about your fair share of billionaires out to get your opponent. no one expects their foth be a saint. they just have trouble constantly hearing him repeat the same sin. it's human nature for to us make excuses. i do it all the time. i told

because he was an underdog. when smith -- we talked about the socialists. smith went out there and took on popular stances. he got up there in 1920 and told the speaker of the assembly the next day, i'm going to put out a press release championing the right of these people to hold their seats. and it just -- it was flabbergasting. no one would do that. we're in the middle of a red scare. these people are anarchists. the same with labor. smith would go and settle labor strikes when he was governor by sending not only state employees from the labor department but in one case frances perkins, a woman who had to settle an upstate labor dispute. they'd say he's not only sending government people, he's sending women now. he was unconventional when it came to that. it was an entering wedge into more diversity when it came to new york state government. when it comes to something like that, i think smith would probably look at it and say, what is it for the best -- good of the people? he would not in his early days a big champion of big business. >> frances in cinci

years and just peaking at the right time and just coming up on top, you know, kind of being the underdogp is just -- it feels so awesome right now. >> everyone basically was crying in the back room because it's not easy to pick an olympic team and we all really are a family and we love each other a lot. >> a night to remember at thehp. pavilion in san jose where dreams of making it to the olympics have come true for ten gymnasts. what a finish it was. more than a decade of training in most cases. nbc bay area's kimberly tere takes us behind the scenes of the gymnastics trials. >> reporter: being inside that arena tonight you could really feel the energy, and the great thing about this crowd was that they cheered every single athlete on. >> the arena was amazing. just to have the stands full. and it was the first time that i've experienced something like that. and it definitely helps. especially, you know, on the floor and vault, hearing the crowd cheering for you makes you want to do even better. >> i think that was the loudest crowd. i mean, everyone was just clapping and cheering. and

whether or not president obama is able to beat mitt romney as an underdog incumbent, an outspend underdog incumbent, whether he's able to overcome that, that great disparity, that great disparity benefitting the republicans is also going to have implications down the ticket. who controls congress? the money makes a really big difference. in 2010, when the republicans took back control of the house of representatives, the republicans also outspend the democrats by a two to one margin. it matters. if republicans can repeat the feat this year, the sky is the limit in terms of congress. regardless of what happens in the presidential race. this was not always an inherently structural partzle problem. if you think about what citizens united did, that cleared the way for unlimited corporate donations. that tilts the favor in terms of corporate interests. but in terms of people making a differen in politicsering that doesn't have to lean inherently right. in 2004, as a matter of fact, it leans left. the great conservative boogie man, george soros, he gave more than $23 million to democratic group

you're going to be hitting the airwaves for the next couple months, we're the underdogs. >> patricia,makes an interesting point which is not one that's been discussed a lot although to some degree the re-election campaign has talked about the down-ballot effect, vis-a-vis super pacs. if races are going to be swayed in this election, it's likely the ones who have smaller dollar amounts at play, where cross roads can really make a -- >> oh, yeah. look at just the florida senate race, for example. bill nelson down there has doubled the amount of money that connie mack has raised. connie mack who's the republican has gotten a huge multimillion dollar infusion from an outside group. now he has more money than bill nelson who has been raising this in $2,000 increments. the superpac money can absolutely sway these races and republicans are just as interested in getting republican senate as they are in getting a republican white house. absolutely crucial. i don't think i agree that superpac money won't have an effect on the presidential ration, though. i think you get into state by state race

campaign is trumpeting its status as underdog is in the fund-raising race where it is a constant, a barrage of e-mails regarding we can't even afford the coffee or whatever. they don't actually say that. >> has the virtue of being true. also -- >> is it really a problem for the president to raise money in this election cycle? >> he's going to raise more money than any money has been raised before. >> relative to mitt romney. >> if the race is going to be as close as it's going to be, we all talk about how it's a few states, it's untested. there will be so much money spent in swing states, there's no precedent where you can look back and say well, this is how much it's going to move the needle. will there be a backlash, will it be wasted money. all i know is i have never met a person who ran a presidential campaign who wanted to be outspent and felt comfortable being outspent. what the obama campaign knows is they have had a financial advantage this summer and they will not have one in the fall. that makes them really nervous. i think they have every right to be nervous. we don't kno

really, without that, she was going to be the underdog going into this one against the 13-time grand slam champion, as you say. she's lost to serena in both premeetings. serena, looking for her fifth title here at wimbledon. she's not had it all her own way. six weeks ago, she was in the first round of the french open. she's stepped it up here in the last couple matches beating a champion hitting a record 24 aces in the semifinal against victoria. you would say serena williams the fan favorite. people are hoping it's not a two-set blink and you miss it. >> absolutely. let's talk about the men. that happens tomorrow. murray in a wimbledon final. people were celebrating like crazy yesterday, right? >> they are still celebrating now. murray has a day off to prepare for sunday's final against roger federer. it could be history in the making. it's been 74 years since britain had a home grown man in the final of wimbledon. murray has been trying very hard for the last three years to get this far. he's lost three semifinals. 11 british men have tried and failed to do what murray has finally
