And if you turn it into a partisan filibuster of a cabinet nominee at this level, then you move to another kind of unprecedented action and a dangerous one. and what were seeing now is a sort of faux filibuster, as jonathan bernstein pointed out in the "washington post" today. >> if they do decide to stick with this delay that they have insisted on thus far, if they continue to pursue it, or if they do in fact filibuster, do you think that the democrats would reasonably take that as a reason to ...

Unprecedented action and a dangerous one. and what were seeing now is a sort of faux filibuster, as jonathan bernstein pointed out in the "washington post" today. >> if they do decide to stick with this delay that they have insisted on thus far, if they continue to pursue it, or if they do in fact filibuster, do you think that the democrats would reasonably take that as a reason to finally reform the filibuster? i realize it would be an extreme step for them to do that. but wouldnt it be sort of...

Dont like what chuck hagel has become. he has been an iconoclast. hes criticized his own party for moving to the radical right. he endorsed barack obama. and he has positioned on foreign policy that many of them dont like either. but much of this for spite and lets face it some of it is the kind of reflexive move to try po punish barack obama where they can. and im afraid what concerns me most is that this set of unreasonable demands, and hagels quite reasonable response to them is an excuse to ...

0 we have a right to address that. >> last month christie talked with oprah winfrey and said he doesnt like being overweight. >> i dont like being overweight. i know id be healthier and better off if i werent. >> feel better, move better. >> all of it. all of it. i would love to show these people who say that because im overweight that means im not disciplined. >> yeah. >> they think you can get to where i am by being undisciplined? let me show them. >> the key is it takes a lot of discipline to...

0 grandstand. that was not was chuck hagel was in the senate, but maybe in some previous -- i dont know. i kind of prefer that they would focus -- that they focus on differences, and thats what they were trying to do. they were trying to tease out the differences between their views and his. there are real differences. obama is nominating him not because he agree with republicans, but because he differs on them. one of the things they should have talked about probably the biggest area of differe...

Perry hit on it. having new senators isnt the issue. the issue is the coalition of the new and getting other people to change their minds. its really key to have that kind of reform. and i think there is an opening here for some republicans to actually say they want full floor votes. they dont want congress to just be blocking. >> peter, jonathan bernstein in the "washington post" predicts that the talking fill bust worry be a flop, saying republicans would take to the floor and start arguing fo...

0 program. this is the rocket defense system that has worked relatively effectively at getting good reviews now. this is a system that the united states has helped design and pay for to assist israel. it has picked off maybe a third of the rockets that have headed into israeli territory over the past several days. they also talked about the need for a deescalation of what is happening. this exchange of rocket fire. the president also exchanging calls in the last 24 hours with the leader of turke...

>> surely the romney campaign knew we would get to this juncture. >> this is his achilles heel. >> the achilles heel of mitt romney. >> this goes to the very heart of why you do or do not vote for somebody. >> it appears that the romney campaign could be looking to change the subject. after months of remaining silent on possible running mates, last night, team romney released this e-mail, saying sometime between now and the republican convention, mitt will be announcing his choice for ...
