Low-paying jobs. no health care coverage and literally i was really scared that she, the breadwinner of our family would get sick and if she got sick, there would be no money because she wouldnt be able to go to work. that is very real to me and of course, as i mentioned, my sister in japan died because i believe because she did not have access to adequate health care. so this is real to me. i happen to know that these are concerns or challenges that people in our country face every single day a...

Marriage to create a better life for us in this country. so growing up, she had really low paying jobs. no health care coverage and literally i was really scared that she, the breadwinner of our family would get sick and if she got sick, there would be no money because she wouldnt be able to go to work. that is very real to me and of course, as i mentioned, my sister in japan died because i believe because she did not have access to adequate health care. so this is real to me. i happen to know t...

To me at least harks a only in jersey feel to it. right? i always say, christie sort of traded on nationally a positive image of new jersey. the image that new jersey is home to a lot of -- people who are rough around the edges but give you straight talk, and theyre not going to b.s. you. chris christie would go to these republican events, in iowa, wherever it was, tell them, im going to talk to you jersey-style and they love it. it would be blunt -- seems the other image of new jersey is reinfo...

You gotta take care of your baby? oh yeah! welcome back to "hardball." were back. tell me something to take away from this conversation. >> i think this was an extraordinary important moment. the president waded into a conversation that was already happening. he didnt create the conversation. this has been gripping this country for the last week. he recognized he needed to be a leader. this is what leaders do. by talking in this way, by talking off the cuff, without prepared remarks, not havin...

Reasonable voters who may be a little bit disenchanted with the president but who are going to be turned off by this stuff. >> so these are conservative dog whistles for a pack of dogs thats already running with mitt romney. >> already there, yeah. >> lets talk a little bit about the reappearance of newt gingrich because why not? its such an endlessly entertaining point of discussion. lets -- newt gingrich talking on cnn about his role as the republican national convention. lets hear what he had...
