Start the new year, a contentious election year which will be defined by the implementation of obama care. make no mistake about it. if the president can get a circuit breaker with congress at home, hes around to starting the state of the union, trying to set the tone for the new year. it would give him breathing room if they start actually fixing the problems. >> obama care was going to be a big issue in the midterm regardless. its more so now. >> you can pour the cement on that. >> thank you, ...

Cnn orc poll, 38%, only 38% of americans believe that the gop controlled houses of representatives is good for the country. but 54%, thats a solid majority, say thats bad for the country. thats not good news heading into the mid term elections. and take a look at this number, this is really surprising or perhaps not so much depending on your viewpoint, should john boehner be replaced as speaker of the house, yes, 63%, no, 30%. those are troubling numbers. at the same time, the presidents numbers...

The house popular vote. they would need to win the house popular vote by, like, seven points next year to be able to take this back. >> right. i think one of the things that actually republicans dont have going for them in the midterms is they dont have the president running. so i think theyre not having more people come out to the ballots as crystal was saying and get more people to try and vote against the president. i think the reason you would come out to the polls from the republican side t...
