'Really Remarkable'

" Many of them have been another tea party did spokesman Robert Gibbs saying today anger gets you just 45%. Courses are trying to the 45% of the vote the conservative candidate -- often -- in that hotly contested New York congressional race. Somebody doesn't it Fred Thompson might see things slightly differently. He was an early backer of often the Republican presidential palace. Co host the Fred -- children right now on. Senator what do you make of that. You talk about New York good when -- break right as it gives essentially saying how that that's what grades gets a 45%."

" Do yeah. Well. 45% 49% it's really remarkable that Doug Kaufman did what he did you know the begin about point three points and and about three weeks time. But that was the only real congressional race that there was -- at the last minute Democrats poured all their resources -- made a deal with through. It's goes above -- and she joined the Democrats and and all of that and I got to give credit. For being able to pull out all but what's really remarkable I think is the show wearing. That Doug Hoffman. Made up there in the in the short period of time without any establishment backing to begin --"

" Well he had a lot of established guys back and you're and it's our town residents have Lanny was an -- one dollars and there. And what is it is good and he didn't want and I am -- the only trump."

" He was. He was a long way down the road before. I got to I guess -- first endorsement. But. It was a long way down the road before us than it already proven himself I think to be a person. Who could draw broad support than before long he had made it so that the Republican nominee. It was a liberal candidate most liberal candidate in the race could not win so she dropped out. So we made a remarkable showing under trying circumstances and just a citizen politician. Would never run for office before and you know and all the Democrats won't say don't pay any attention to the horse we've got a beautiful mouse here that you ought to --"

" Had to go -- is that what you well that's senator but Nancy Pelosi didn't waste and out of second season. On this contest is what you have to say about us."

" Effective we won last night. We had one great that we are engaged in that we know in new York -- what did great. And Republican held seats in the civil war. And and that we -- that people from that standpoint you know we candidate who is victorious conflicting health care reform."

" Nine you do it every every bit of that -- but to the greater point. That may TV. This Republican infighting on who the establishment lights schools conservatives like is hurting Republicans an opening up. You know the -- group."

" I've been shot. The Republicans shot themselves in the foot. Selecting a liberal nominee the above eleven of them. That that wasn't popular among the people if you've been popular she would wound that would more than 5% of the vote which is what she got last night which is what she. Just a little more than that before she got out. The district there's a district that went for Barack Obama it went for Hillary Clinton when she was. Running for the United States senate and it's one that the Democrats have been targeting from the very beginning that factored into. The president taking the democratic congressman out of they're making sector of the army. So -- focused on this they put all their people in there they brought all the people -- from the outside. And they've they've activated and energized them and you know most of their credit -- if they eked out an election none of those circumstances but. They -- election again next year. And I think through the important point here is not only not race but around the nation. We see a lot of people out there who are independents. Who are fed up. And who basically all you gotta do is look at them the right track wrong track polls in this country look at the polls that in terms of the popularity of congress. Look at people's reaction toward the the fact that we're spending the next generation birth right. That at a time when people are concerned about jobs that this administration. Is putting health care all their chips on health care. As though the nation reaches almost 10% unemployment. And you say you don't you see a lot of of of good reasons why the independents went to one and Virginia."

" Not -- an -- and I don't this is anything is an -- enormity of what was going on yesterday but I do want to ask you to follow what happened in this often situation. And whether Republicans a lot of I would love to eat and eloquently well you don't give me attitude and this is. I'm glad to I want to ask you about it this tea party movement out of the site. Twelve Republicans. They argue aren't measuring up -- beating these conservative standards. And whether you think it's a wise idea to be too hard getting. Republicans if you want everyone to rally around and the plant when evening. I read something about that I don't know who they're talking about and you gotta tell me who you're talking about now I'm gonna it's gonna talk about Charlie Crist. Talking about Mark Kirk I'm talking about all these prominent Republicans including senator Bob Bennett. Who today argue -- conservative enough that is."

" circumstance I can only speak for myself I don't have to speak for repelled right priority. I don't have to speak for 44 people attending tea parties I think for myself -- have a choice between a conservative and liberal. They're both of them have a decent chance of winning. I'll choose the conservative ever done."

" Aren't a good -- and ask another -- I don't know what I'm asking is do you think. That it divides both live a more conservative Bob Bennett split between the really conservative -- and beside you and that it opens the door for Democrat."

" Small before you know. Parties. You consider -- at all I mean I don't have any clue as to anything particular situation what's best for the party and I don't care. I care about what's best for my country I think the Republican Party were represented that in most cases. But people are free to make their own decisions there are no party. They're no party officials that I know who ought to be calling the shots. For people in these various districts -- of these various states they'll look at the candidates look at their minds not."

" Listen to and Brett let me ask you -- logo logo logo at the US to -- the choice if you want a choice you out of republic began you -- your conservative choice. And you knew that there was a distinct possibility you were voting to that conservative candidate that he -- would be dividing the vote with a Republican one. And given an opportunity to democratic had to get in would you want principle be okay what."

" I've said what I believe in the beginning if I have a choice between a conservative and liberal. And both of them have a chance of winning. I'll choose the conservative if you if you have a very liberal Republican and liberal Democrat and no one else I'll choose -- Republican. If you have two people who both with Jeffs is -- I'll choose the one who revenues -- that I think are best for my comfort. And now that we've got you know Fred Thompson's position figured out let's look at what is happening in the country. People are people are are are are voting and in large numbers. Based on what's happening in Washington Maryland based a -- but based upon the fact that we're spending. Money that we do that we don't when we've got our priorities wrong -- probably rushed with regard to policies. That we don't believe that people are responding to that the Republican Party have to take that into account."

" I wanna know what a remarkable can you imagine out of it as a learning you've been pretty steadfast -- on this but. You know a lot of magazine Republicans electric about the status is that they've probably -- of their bigs running around. Are they now coming through this like recovering alcohol it's insane. Listen to me I know what it's like I admit I'm -- over spender. I don't wanna see this repeated what should be -- the Republican or the conservative position. Don't Lou. And me governor and I think that -- data and is when I."

" It when I came into the Senate than 99 little lot of comparable I think tonight before the house elections when I came in and David united. We've also budget. There's no with a with a democratic president. So there's no reason why they can't happen again I'm independent Republicans get back into power they've got to do right. Well all be supportive of them either. But right now that's -- but that's not the issue -- do the issue is that we're lurching so far. All the path that got us to be the strongest and most prosperous nation in the history of the world. That all of our concentration now should be on what's best for our country and how can we get back on the right what the pension -- if Republicans should adhere to those principles and tried and true yes conservative common sense principles. Will be successful the big tip analogy is not the correct when the correct one is a magnet. We ought to be a magnet that draws these independent there who are sick and tired of what's going on in Washington to."

" Aren't all that I understand. Oysters -- in my -- thank you very much thank you. --"
