problem jon corzine tried to fix over the years and had to do unpopular things, hangovers from governor whitman and greeleys era. >> don't you agree democrats can't take 2009 or 2010 for granted. when you were chairman of the party in 2006, not to just win but turn our momentum around and turn around the feeling in the party that we could win. i worry that republicans, if democrats don't pay attention, could actually do well in both of those races. >> well, they can. of course if i were the republican chair and i were to win both those races i would say that was a national bellwether, now that i'm a dispassionate political analyst i don't think you can say that about virginia or new jersey. but look, everything has changed. the health care verdict probably will not be known by november. everything has changed. we have a democratic president, democratic senate, democratic house. and it's a new ball game. i know they are, the dnc is putting effort and money into virginia and new jersey. i do think we'll turn those around simply because i think in the long run people just don't trust republicans t

it is a whitman sampl of some of the topics talked about in the book. let me start with the state of the current economy. as we all know thisas been the worst economy since the great depression. gdp growth is negative, we are seeing 26 years of record unemployment and still losing half million jobs a month and credit is tight and business investment is down and so is personal spending d consumer confidence is in the cellar and the housing market seems to be in aeath spiral, and the u.s. automakers are on their knees and the stock market just had its worst year since 1931. welcome to the great recession. i am not trying to be glib because there's a lot of pain and suffering out tre and there's nothing funny about losi your job or seeing your stock ptfolio get a serious serc fetter watching your 401(k) turning to a 201(k). but, to the extent that downturns like the current one calls us to, to the extent it shakes up the status quo agb causes us to reexamine our goals and that in itself can create enormous opportunities. opportunities to rlect about what y

christy whitman and george allen were behind for much of the campaign before they surged ahead.there's sort of a case for decoupling that's helpful for democrats. of course the media isn't likely to see it that way if democrats lose all three. host: david raises an excellent point. 2009 is set up so well for the republicans right now. john corzine would probably lose the democrat in new jersey and the republican running for governor of virginia will probably win the race. but we still have about 80, 90 days before election day so anything can happen. so that's the good news for republicans. the bad news is if they end up happening to lose one of these races it could really hurt them because we're all chalking them up as being able to win these races. right now there's a brand new "washington post" poll that has bob mcdonald ahead right now. i do think that after labor day and they start engaging this race has a potential to be a 150/50 type of race that it could break either wafplte and the democrats being able to hold on would be a really psychological blow to the republican pa
