Ballot going into november. jon: he wont be running again obviously but think back about six months ago, the government shutdown, the blame was cast on the republicans. democrats were licking their chops saying, ah-ha, this is going to be the election in which we win back the house of representatives because republicans were so unpopular at the time. how things have changed in six short months, charlie. >> yeah. and i think that a lot of them were buoyed, their spirits were buoyed by the argumen...

Only 14% say they have been helped so if youre looking at a law that provides winners and losers, you want to maximize winners and minimize the impact of losing. jon: you say this delay is actually going to only hurt enrollment in obamacare and sort of depressed the overall numbers. what do you mean by that? >> it has been going on for six months, the tumultuous rollout, website problems, they are an enrollee are often not. it has not been paid on their behalf because of computer problems. now y...

Said is true, then thats a marked change from the first time it went through. republicans had scores of amendments that harry reid kill and never let them discuss it on the floor and never got a vote on the floor. if the president now wants to actually work with republicans as well as democrats on the health care bill, who knows. maybe we can move forward and develop comprehensive reform that works for all americans. >> hhs officials announced a surge of web traffic saying more than a million pe...

Anything to have the computer system be a big mess. i mean, even in the state you have washington where we had done our own exchange, we had computer problems because we had three times as many people show up on the first day as we expected. so i think we underestimated the pent up demand out there. i think it would have worked better if it worked smoothly at the beginning but were going to get through it. its not the end of the earth if one day is a bad day. >> i like your candor. it didnt help...

To roll out october 2005 but was delayed twice.
