Somewhat involved in trying to gin up the process in february when scott was passing the reforms. but i try and point out, why this is so important. what scott walker was dealing with is $1.8 billion a year budget deficit. and we new have experienced on a national year in four years of deficits that actually exceed $1.3 from a year. the problem is almost 1,000 times worse and that is why it is so important that scat -- scott walker remain in office for having the courage. it sends a terrible mes...

Here and there but by and large it is not president since ronald reagan in 1984, would you see that changing? >>guest: my guess is regardless of what happens today, wisconsin will be if play for a senate seat as well as for the ten electoral votes which i hope go to governor romney. i think if scott survives, it increases our chances dramatically. but, regardless, wisconsin is in play. wisconsin is generally a fiscally conservative state. this is a real misconception here and there could be some...

Points there have been indications that, from some other surveys that the lead now is narrowing, so let me pick up on this, if walker wins, if the recall is defeated, how big a defeat for unions and how much of an 70ive to other governor whose is seen it in indiana and ohio, how much of an incentive to go after the public workers unions? >>guest: a huge defeat for unions, clearly. what you are seeing here is what scott wacker and paul ryan and others, this word "courage," come up, they had the c...

the mandate in the presidents health care bill alone was estimated to cost 850,000 jobs to our economy by congressional budget office and the keystone xl pipeline which would have had an immediate impact on job creation and the proposed tax increases on job creatures, this is a hostile environment for job creation in our economy and that is why it has a search -- sense of urgency. the only thing that will change it are changing the policies and that means changing the person in the whi...
