raise money and showing the national media that he was a serious person. and he's basically accomplished all those goals. he hides that well because he has a very affable personality. reporters tend to like him. it doesn't come across, as well, with voter because his speeches tend to be a little wooden and too much on message in my judgment. >> so, we've got two aspects here. the legislative aspect and sort of the pr aspect. pat, let me ask you about the political challenges he faces because he came in as speaker of the house on a wave of 43 new members of the house, who are affilulated with the tea party. at the same time, these are very conservative members. he still has to remember that the other two branches, the senate and the white house are controlled by the democrats. how does he balance those two? are the tea partiers his biggest challenge?
