and they didn't, as you remember the american troops 3rd infantry division rolled into the city unopposed, we were puzzled, those of us who were there. because we'd seen the saddam fedayeen out in the streets with antiaircraft guns and all kinds of weaponry as if they were going to fight for it. we should have realized immediately this wasn't because these people didn'want to fight or didn't intend to fight, it was because they'd figured out long before that they could destabilize the american venture by going underground, in saddam's case literally underground, and they were very effective. and they would use anybody as a partner. they joined, they embraced al qaeda. >> rose: now tony blair makes this point. he says that if al qaeda had not come in and if iran had not come in it was manageable. >> i don't agree with that. i mean, certainly they were malevolent players, very malevolent players and many of the most spectacular, as the american military called them. i didn't like that phrase, spectacular attacks, spectacular to you and me means fire works at night. but you know what i mean

vincent gray could be unopposed in november. >> joining us now for a look at some of these key race last night, mark murray. and mark, a lot of peoples obviously talking about delaware, but also new hampshire's race, too close to call, as chuck just mentioned. i had a white house official argue to me today, don't just say this is anti-incumbent that's going on across the board, it's really anti-incumbent sentiment going on within the republican primaries. >> i think that there is some truth to that, savannah. you look, there really does seem to be a purge that's being conducted within the republican party. it's actually something that dates back to last year. remember when arlen specter defected to the democratic party, and in the spring, charlie crist had to quit the florida senate republican primary. we saw bob bennett lose in utah. a lot of this is occurring on the republican side. now, there have been some democratic incumbents who have lost their primaries for re-election. we saw alan mull hahn in west virginia, carolyn kilpatrick lose. but those had to do more with ethical issues t

for 30 years and for the last two decades he's won re-election with huge margins sometimes running unopposed. but in this angry political environment frank is taking no chances and over the weekend he unleashed the big dog to join him on the stump. >> people have a right to be angry. they have a right to be disappointed. but they still have to be make a choice. an election is not a referendum on their anger. it's a choice between two >> reporter: prsidea to four stat ago where democrat struggling today. in wisconsin, endangered russ feingold will not appear with president obama, preferring the company of the first lainst a recent pew poll shows independent voters favoring the republican candidate over the democrat by 13 points. and many democrats are playing the only card they feel they have left, the fear card. >> risking social security on wall street. >> reporter: depicting their opponents as personally unacceptable. >> renacci tried to avoid paying his taxes attempting to sheltr millions forced to pay over a onintaxe >> sued by customers for fraudulent and deceptive practices. two fs fro

yet they run unopposed every year. there are many positions like this that the third parties seem to ignore. if they want to be taken seriously, they have to work the dictate the less glamorous positions and work their way up. in some way i can understand why people are upset that they want to be governor without running for dog-catcher first. guest: illinois requires petitions of 5% of the last of the past for a minor party or independent candidate to run for a municipal, district, or county office. that's one of the reasons you don't see many such candidates for the small, partisan offices in illinois. the state of illinois has the third-toughest petition requirement of all 54 district offices. there are bills in their legislature to change it, but they never pass. host: our guest is the publisher of ballot access news. if people went to your site, what would they learn? guest: most only look at the blog entries. i put it up about fo per day. they can also click on the paper copies. there is a lot more substance in m

>> on the democratic side, paul has been unopposed for his nomination. on the republican side, former state attorney kelly ayotte has been the frontrunner for a long time but polling has tightened up in the last couple of days. bill bennie hoped the see a late surge. he used his own money and but the more moderate so people were running attacks ads saying he is not conservative enough. but mon tanya who is an attorney there and also had been a previous fom knee for governor, he's seeing the late surge. he's trying to corral tea party support. and we're also seeing ayotte has the backing often sarah palin but lemanstagne got the backing of -- lamontagne got the backing of one. host: senator russ fine bold -- feingold could be in trouble, why? >> people frustrated with the economy not growing and wisconsin has high unemployment, and he's sort of facing that backlash. look back to many of feingold's contests. he's had close races there in the past so we consider that traditionally a democratic state but a republican primary there. ron johnson, a wealthy bus

. >> he was running unopposed. culvert said let's see if we can get you to lose the race even though you don't have an opponent so he fed him the lines. >>> still ahead, former florida governor jeb bush -- >> speaking of florida. >> and lawrence o'donnell -- is he going to interview us? plus lawrence explains his line of questioning for levi johnston the other night on "the last word." it turns out he borrowed page from katie couric. it's plagiarism.

owens ran unopposed. doug hoffman, who in the fall was unsuccessful for that bid for the nomination, nevertheless he will appear on the ballot as a conservative party candidate. it remains to be seen how hard he will campaign for that seat. he has indicated he will seek -- he will try to win and certainly that means that the bill owens again could be the recipient of another term in congress thanks to a division within the republican party. host: in other political news, here is the political section of "the washington times" this morning on the colorado gov. race. also in other primary results, this is "the baltimore sun." it says the -- that o'malley and ehrlich are braced for a rematch. and district of columbia, d.c. current mayor adrian fenty lost to vincent gray, 39% to 59%. richfield, ohio. lee on independent line. caller: nice to talk to you this morning. one of the things i would like to say is i hear all of these people talking about the tea party and saying that the tea party is so far to the ri
