Today obama care begins. if they had problems with it, it would have been a perfect opportunity to talk about those problems and the glitches in it. instead, were talking about shutting down the government. and not the issue they really want to talk about, which is the presidents health care plan. so i believe thats sort of a message problem for them, as well and theyve done this all in trying to appeal to the republican base. >> im getting bombarded with tweets here many like this from a guy ca...

In his words, quote, just because i propose them. did you know of the 234 women in the house of representatives, only 19 belong to the gop. 234 women, 19 republicans, so house republicans have launched this project grow. its an effort to boost that number to broaden the partys appeal among women. dana bash, our chief congressional correspondent talked to some of the women behind the effort about the republicans problems with women. >> reporter: why do you think this is so important, to launch ...

They want this stuff legislated. youre seeing this in mississippi, and also seeing it in congress, with a lot of bills going through the house of representatives constantly legislating on abortion. >> when we look at idaho, a federal judge striking down a law banning aborg. after 20 weeks, it was believed that a fetus could feel pain at 20 weeks. when republicans talk about the message problem, are the constituents clear with what they want to see in reference to the state legislating the restri...

>> i can see why they want to have a structural fix of what, ultimately, is a message problem. >> you still have a broader message on the right that is alienating to a lot of folk ins the middle. alienating to young er voters. they can have karl rove in a fight with newt gingrich and still ultimately doesnt change the fact that the republican brand is one thats becoming exclusionary rather than inclusive. >> but abbey, when you wrote a scathing problem calling rove and his ideas terrible, repub ...

I think well see that in his legislative agenda. john boehner is not elected by the majority of american people. the majority of american people want women to have access to safe and legal abortion. they, on the other hand, many in the house republican caucus are elected by people who very much want them to get in the examining room with a woman and legitima legislate what she can and cannot do. theyre stuck. >> angela, this means they learned no lessons on their agenda last year that really hur...

Re-electing president obama. in that inaugural speech, he, you know, gave a vision of where he wants the country to go. i think douglas described it beautifully. what the president was trying to -- what the president was trying to do. the republican party has a really big problem. its not just a message problem. they have a demographic problem. they are going to continue to be, and i keep saying this over and over again, a regional, reactionary party until it figures out how its going to deal wi...
