Okay? and so the bottom line here is this. democrats are going to have to remain strong. not go to conference committee. and its going to hurt some folks, and in the long run youre going to have to make the case to the american people that this is a republican problem. they are the ones that are holding up the bipartisan effort. now, is there any chance in your opinion that boehner will blink and will move on this? >> well, i hope that he will listen to the american people. i hope if hell listen...

To task over all of this. "mitch mcconnell famously said a year ago that his main task in the 112th congress was to make sure that the president of the united states, barack obama, would not be re-elect ed. given how he and the speaker john boehner have handled the payroll debate, we wonder if they might end up re-electing president obama." that is spot-on. the republican party is imploding before our very eyes. conservatives dont want to give the president of the united states a win, but some r...

Magazine. joy-ann. >> great to be here. >> will the real mitt romney please stand up? >> its amazing. what you seeing here is desperation. mitt romney is not popular with the base of the republican party. they want someone whos going to be a harder slugger and jab his finger at barack obama and call him a socialist to his face or call him maybe a mau, mau kenyan. hes trying to play the role. its actually rather pathetic. the speech sounds like it could have been written -- steve bennett was righ...

Not an expert on republican politics, but if thats true, hes going to succeed. >> why do you think gingrich is is slipping so fast? what is it? what has he done that has caused this spiral? >> well, look, these negative ads work, ed. i hate to say it, but they do. theyre throwing everything at him but the kitchen sink. attacking him. gingrich doesnt have the money or organization to respond. gingrich took off only about two or three weeks ago. so now hes suddenly going to come up with this iowa ...

The iowa caucuses, romney is home free with 30% of the republican vote and the other 70% wishing they were someplace else. thats why santorum is coming back. because gingrich has been destroyed, their last hope is santorum or paul. >> governor dean, great to have you with us tonight. thanks so much. >> thanks, ed. did i stiff this man out after a drink? he says yes. i honestly, honestly dont remember. a very special "psycho talk" is next. later, wisconsin senate majority leader scott fitzger...

Republicans have already done. and thats the difference. you dont get 89 out of 100 vote in the senate very often. you dont get 80% of republican senators onboard very often. and so weve already seen what the bipartisan compromise here is, ed. and what the republicans in the house are doing is trying to block the payroll tax cut. listen, when this president came before the congress many months ago, last september, he asked for a one-year extension of the payroll tax cuts. the house republicans s...

the issue, of course, is the payroll tax cut. whether or not to extend the payroll tax cut for everybody who gets a paycheck in america or whether to let taxes on all of those people go up on new years day. in a span of just the last few weeks, congressional republicans have gone from saying theyre not for doing the payroll tax cut extension to then saying they are for doing the payroll tax cut. to then not agreeing to do it once they got a chance, to now being very angry that its not ...
