>> i have my doubts that they are as good as the democrats, we used to be really good at this. absentee ballot chasing. and we have real concerns that we have not probably been able to match them in georgia, but that is a concern going forward and if walker cannot pull it out and yet another loss for republicans, we have to have a real change of leadership inside the parties especially at the rnc. i think are lacking right now. >> yeah. i mean it doesn't seem like unsolvable math problem. ned, appreciate it. thank you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: so a lot of people in the media took money fr...
