A debate. hes sort of stuck at a point and he cant seem to move upward. >> there was a bounce from the last debate. if you take the three polls before an the three polls after, he moved up from an average of 23 to 28. there were some well publicized polls that had him behind cain after that, and it is possible that in the last few days hes slipped behind cain again. but he did get a bounce, and the important thing about romney is that no matter who you throw at the guy, he still is up there and ...

Federal spending and the spending side of it. not just the re-knew side. everyone says there will be a revenue problem. talking about the option between the 20% rate on an individual basis or current plan where they choose lower of the two. revenue could go down but so will spending. >> dana: the idea if the xy grows there is more re-knew. heard from an economist that said his problem with the perry plan because of the option that is optional, you then have to do your taxes twice. under both tes...

>> thats not a sign of substance. experience. >> experience. >> we think about the new members of congress as being tea party representatives. they are. but they have the same percentage of people who have held local elective or state elective office as the rest of the congress. so they arent that much different in terms of their experience than the rest of the congress. that is to say the tea party did not sweep in a bunch of people who have never been involved in politics before. just the oppo...
