Seeds of Revolution?

" Now Republicans have reason to celebrate today after taking back the governorships in Virginia and New Jersey. Bob McDonald beat Democrat creek beach in Virginia by a whopping eighteen points."

" And perhaps even more importantly independent voters who went for Barack Obama 2008. Well they voted for McDonnell over deeds by -- two to one margin in New Jersey the story was much the same. Republican Chris Cristi ousted incumbent Jon Corzine an exit poll showed that independent voters -- Chris state over Corzine. By 82 to one margin in New Jersey as well. This trend should sound the alarm bells for the Democrats. Because it is a reflection -- president Obama's performance and a resounding rejection of his agenda but guess what."

" They don't seem to think -- They think yesterday was just great Nancy Pelosi. "

" Decided to selectively block out these two glaring losses and focus on the two house seats that the Democrats picked up let's take a look."

" And that didn't plan would pick up -- when California. And more in India and New York."

" How she sounds convincing doesn't change. And joining me now with more on what these Republican victories mean for the GOP and the country at large is the author of two tried men's souls the one and only Newt Gingrich joins me. I guess that's a pretty good faith."

" Gotta give her credit for trying right. Last got to try because she's got a huge vote coming up trying to pass a gigantic 1995. Page socialist health bill. I think on Saturday it and keep the man. And she's desperate to get it through before the country -- the bill and rises in total rebellion against the house which you know John I was looking at the -- data. The most dangerous thing for the Democrats. Was that 85%. Of the voters in Virginia and 90% of the voters in New Jersey said they were worried about the economy. They were dissatisfied with the now a year after Obama was elected promising real change. -- 85%. In Virginia and 9% in New Jersey tell you they don't think things are working very well. That is potentially an enormous mound for the Democrats to climb in 2010 are."

" But if we look at the numbers really. Stood out to me in New Jersey from a year ago it was a twenty point swing because Obama won that state by fifteen points Christie won by five."

" It was a 25 point swing in Virginia."

" Now Obama campaigned in both states for both democratic candidates nearly half a dozen times four for Jon Corzine. And he himself said that the New Jersey governor is a keeper his own agenda he don't they said his team in to help Corzine campaign. So what do you think their spend today."

" I think what you're desperate you do a desperate people do. You know they've won these two races they have been out dancing this morning telling us it was an absolute reaffirmation. Of the Obama team. But I thought the person had the best analysis. Was governor Haley Barbour whose Republican Governors Association. And and -- shares have done such a great job and governor Barbour said. Yeah that's not the obamas personally unpopular because people like the presidencies to succeed. He says it's his policies. That are unpopular and people don't like what they're trying to do and I think. Corzine of course have been a terrible governor of New Jersey was in deep hole and remember he outspent. Chris Cristi by Ford one. 24 million dollars. -- spent by -- of my by Corzine of his own money so you really talking about. An amazing victory for. The Republicans in New Jersey. And of course when you have 5941. Blowout in Virginia all this talk the Obama people had Axelrod and others. That Virginia was now a purple state. I think they just washed all the purple out and went back to being a solid Republican state last night."

" Why I think this was a total review -- President Obama I think the total rebuke of deficit spending. The huge debt they are accumulating I think it's a rebuke of Obama care although they don't seem to know yet. DNC chair Tim Kaine had actually referred to Virginia as a Bellwether state Howard Dean said the same thing you've been out debating Howard Dean. What does that say about the state of Virginia have more important then then then New Jersey are they equally important. I think there -- equally and."

" for the demographic reasons. New Jersey is a much more democratic state it's -- much harder state for us to win and frankly Chris Christie got four times the size of the margin tonight. That Christie Whitman got in 1993 people often ask me. Is this a precursor to a 1994 style vote I want everyone to know these two victories in Virginia and New Jersey were much bigger. The in the victories you -- 1993. Much more decisive. But there's one other thing particularly for Republicans and conservatives tonight. Bob McDonald is a solid conservative you couldn't be more solid than years. But he campaigned. Endlessly in the suburbs he campaigned among African Americans Hispanic Americans. Asian Americans he consciously one out and reached out to everybody in his state. He had positive ideas he wasn't the opposition party he was the better solutions alternative party. I think that the McDonnell campaign and the -- campaign where Republicans ought to look. Because if we could put together the kind of coalitions they put together and put together the kind of positive ideas. We could make Nancy Pelosi leave the speakership and have John Boehner speaker at the end of the election next hour."

" while volume back about just the second -- I would like to see another contract with America myself. I would like to see Republicans say that they're gonna abandon all earmarks be fiscally responsible. Move towards energy independence be the party of national security. And free market solutions for healthcare I I would like them to put there there -- signature on a piece of paper would that be a good idea to bring that back up."

" I think it would be and I'm Michael steele's of the Republican National Committee chairman is now working on the idea of the first principles document. And let me say that the health bill was introduced by the house Republicans and by John Boehner this week is a very very good document. It's solid it does no harm doesn't raise taxes it solves a number of problems and it does so in a way that would actually be good for America. It's a remarkable improvement over the monstrosity that policies introduced that The Wall Street Journal called the worst bill introduced in modern times."

" I've got to believe that that. Whether or not the White House will admitted. That the races last night will have an impact on the health care debate neither the Democrats are talking about pushing this off now until January. Let me ask you about the New York 23. You the first big interview I've ever had in my career when I was a local radio host of Huntsville Alabama we got into this discussion a little bit earlier today. And you had endorsed. The the Republican. Establishment Republicans Gaza -- in the New York 43 district. So many people wrote me and said you you've got to talk to your friend Newt Gingrich he's on the wrong side of us. I was surprised that you would endorsed her. Am I I want to give -- a chance to explain if your thoughts on this and maybe if you have regrets. Maybe not looking deeper into the fact that she really didn't support any conservative values."

" Well I'm sorry to say that as you know over the weekend I endorse Kaufman and I work very hard to get other people. To endorse -- this -- as he was the only can do a chance to win who voted against policy. I think the entire sky as a father candidacy was a mistake. I regret deeply that she was chosen by the eleven local county chairs it's clear. That in New York State. The Republicans have to get in the habit. Of coordinating and Mike Long and conservatives. And that they're not gonna win any seats when they don't have a coordinated effort with the Conservative Party. That's just an objective fact. And I am deeply regret that we got into that kind of a mess but as a long term party leader. To help to 1980 -- Reagan in 1994 with a contract with America. I do I find it very hard to overrule. Eleven county chairmen and unanimously voted her I think the -- nomination was a mistake. I wish that we had gotten involved earlier and if we had out of done everything I could to make sure she had not been picked. And she totally approved in the last few days that she was in no way a loyal Republican."

" Bet he would keep it in some ways do you think that you were being put and a very difficult position be. What do you say -- reportedly ask the question that -- way what do you say to conservatives and boys like Newt Gingrich had a right now angry with you about that. That particular support."

" I was -- they have every right to be angry I don't blame them. I took a position as somebody who would build national majorities and who really wants to find. The last marginal vote to make sure that Nancy Pelosi doesn't stay as speaker and wants to find the last -- electoral votes to beat Obama. But I don't blame them for being upset I think she was the wrong nominee and I there was a terrible position I was speaker of the CNN has always thinking they were just here and coming up."
