Numbers exactly right, but who cares . You can run the majority of the house on three like the republicans did in 20012002. So it doesnt matter. Governorships matter a lot, but youve got a ton of incumbents, i think 29, running out of the ones elected in 2010, and they have a natural edge in the vast majority of cases. Corbetts an exception, couple of other exceptions. But, you know, the senates really what were where it matters, where an upset really matters. And, you know, its obvious where both parties and the Interest Groups are going to pour their money, those Southern States plus alaska. Democrats are going to try kentucky and georgia. Good luck, you know, with both of them because i think itll be tough. In both cases. But theyre going to try those two. Other than that, theres really nothing the democrats can pick up. Theyll be lucky to pick up one of those two. The republicans have all the opportunities. We already know, really, which ones they are. So its a question of where th
They fired their media team. [laughter] Ashley Oconnor what other trend should people in this room be aware of this cycle that you have pioneered or picked up on . One of the things you and i talked about was reaching people in ways other than overtheair tv. Well i think is sort of touched on this earlier is seeing political ads in every different medium than how they are going to start to follow you around. That echo chamber and retargeting so they are constantly being exposed to the message in all these different mediums. I think thats new to this cycle. The different platforms. In a broadcast tv which is still the most effective way to reach a whole lot of voters. Cable. You can really target now the message for different voters. Radio and on line into on line you will have banner and retargeting where the ads are now finding you in being delivered to you. Cookie marketing and i think it has just, there are just many different ways now. I dont think one alone works. I think its acco
Everyone thought hillary would win. Obama comes out of the blue from nowhere and swedes everything away. He with two terms. Leave it to the democrats to come up with someone on the left of Hillary Clinton. Host which is what we talked about yesterday. Think the Democratic Party has a lot of the same internal divisions but the democrats are more cohesive. They are poised to run for president on the democratic side that tend to be, if you look at haveon and warren, probably a lot more support within the wings of the party than the republicans do and the republican field is a little more unsettled. Really near the end of his second term, and i mean in the final year as the up, the issue is does hillary run or not. If she does not, it is probably a wideopen yield on their spot. And you the presidency, have a political figure that at least appears to be a consensus candidate at this time. It is different for republicans are now. They have been out of power for a while. They have not had imm

American history tv revisits 1974 and the final weeks of the nixon administration. This weekend the House Judiciary Committee as it considers impeachment of the president and the charge of the abuse of power.

Watergate, 40 years later. Sunday night at eight eastern on American History tv on cspan3. Next, political consultants, pollsters and journalists talk ab
