>> tonight voters in kentucky sent a message loud and clear for everyone to hear. [cheering and applause] its a message that says our elections dont have to be about right versus left. they are still about right versus wrong. >> we want the process to be followed. the process will be followed. and in the end we will have the governor that was chosen by the people of kentucky. thats the way the process should work. >> bill: mike tobin is live in louisville for the follow-up. good morning. >> good...

Everybody involved. pete: yeah, i guess, right? i just feel like republicans have blinked and they have had to because its such a razor thin margin. if you werent thinking about voting in the mid terms, this is evidence as to why you should. razor thin majorities means one guy who is not up for re-election determines the fate. a week is a lifetime. the left is going to throw everything they can at this guy for another week. rachel: you are right. the delay of the 10 days before was devastating t...

Support for this proposal that hes got. its perfectly plausible that jeff flake could come back and if he doesnt get support in a couple of hours or whatever it is, that he could come back and change his vote. we just dont know. right now it seems to me like its kind of the mornings after over there on the senate judiciary committee. people have calmed down and, you know, all the partisanship that we saw yesterday, you didnt hear lindsey graham coming out and complaining about jeff flake. >> jus...

Policies that would help to make their lives better, thats not the way to grow a party. again, were talking about the narrowest margins in presidential history in 2000 and 2004. george bush won, but he won by razor thin margin. you compare that to 2008 and 2012, the reason democrats won is because they grew the base of the party dramatically by having a bigger, open tent with rhetoric and with policies. you have the exact opposite of that with republicans right now, and its not -- and because th...
