White House Worries

" Thank you very much now let's bring in Fox News -- Charles Krauthammer in Washington has some thoughts on what we know right now. Charles what's the most important thing you've seen so far. I think what this night does is it completely explodes the mythology of the meaning of the 2008 election. election. Remember after the 08 election people talked about realignment, about a new era, the Republicans becoming a run. Party rump -- party the the even losing parts of the south. This was that the death of conservatism. All of these theories about everything happened -- that in see 08 the year what I think was obvious even at that time away was an time. 08 Extremely unusual and election. with unusual, a -- the first charisma, American. -- American, the coeds swooning in the aisle as he spoke at universities, a American. Turn out. You American turn occurring at a it of economic collapse you have the collapse, in the -- lean weeks before the collapse All of this unpopular presidency. Two wars and still presidency, two only to win a bit of -- a by a margin of seven. -- -- year later we could see how ephemeral. And how one shy ephemeral and -- look shot 08 was. if Alright. Look Virginia, -- where McConnell is now ahead. By about 22 points ahead by was 20 by five that's a swing of a quarter of the electorate."

" Obama. Karl Rove and I basically said that health care is now hurting the Democratic party. It's hurting, do you concur?"

" Absolutely what's really interesting is that in Virginia health care is the second highest, most important issue if you ask the voters. That's -- relatively unusual in much of the country. It's lower down. I think it's because Virginia is in the Washington media market so it gets all of these national issues every night broadcast. So you've got it a 20%. at The below the economy is the most important issue it clearly hurt the Democrats it clearly is hurting around the country. But I think the most especially in Virginia where you would not have expected it. To rank so high in terms of concern. Now. it it it feeds into the -- it feeds into the idea. I don't know about us democratic administration over reading the mandated no way and deciding it's -- remake America as a result of a mandate it never had."

" Well it's also and inefficiency on the part of the Democratic Party when you kick out of 2000 page bill that nobody can understand. A mishmash of god knows why Americans get -- I'm angry I want health care reform. But I don't want this nobody knows what this is -- bankrupt the country and then then ties into the confidence in the present. Now I see and I and I I -- in the polls. A diminishment. Of confidence now when he rode in when Barack Obama eroded. The confidence level was ha here's a guy who's gonna be able to do it he can handle a job it's a tough job but he's bright and he can do a year later. I think that confidence level is down 25%."

" he came in he was a -- juror he was a magician. He's spoken -- nobody has spoken. He had big country sort of that is defeat yes we can -- had a crowds chanting these childish slogans it looked like. Chinese that the cultural revolution at times and all of a sudden people wake up and they wake up because we've now had. A year of real governance. You can't just speaking you can't go he's given 28 putting on speeches on health care. And every time he gives a speech -- support diminish as -- why. Because if you talk about healthcare the abstract he sounds okay but but but there comes a time when you actually have to produce a bill. You can read a bill and the bill has numbers on. And the assessment. CBO comes in -- gives an assessment on the numbers and it says going to be trillion dollars and the country's gonna go. Bankrupt as a result. And people understand that speeches and all of his stuff he gave us a year ago. He's what a candidate does that as a governor as a person who's in office and governing. His -- is it is. Administration and the Democrats in congress has given us monstrosity is a stimulus. There's a trillion dollars. You know wish list of of liberal ideas and pay back and now a trillion dollars in health care."

" It is frightening as far as -- down the road was -- US dollar final question. If Corzine wins in New Jersey which is certainly possible. Then the White House is gonna declare victory in what happens in Virginia is not gonna map upstate New -- probably gonna go to conservative Republican. But if if they hold on a New Jersey -- the democratic seat the governor is a Democrat. Obama and I -- you know winning Eric."

" That's right in the mainstream media would go along with that because it'll look like -- and split. But the fact is that. What New Jersey as a -- democratic state. Obama won by about fifteen points even if it is a dead heat. Corzine squeezes out a victory it's -- to fifteen but I tell you that the -- if fact it's an oh wait a look that was the inside the White House. Whoever said in public is gonna be awash in announcing a -- they're never gonna I got Charlie I -- they're gonna be scared to death all right I appreciated the fact you'll be right back."
