i m for willie for president. you got the political tie and the height. matt lewis, do you vote based on tone of voice? barnicle makes a good point here in the sense that people vote you ask people, why did you vote for him? because i like his transportation policy. the truth is, some of these things do matter. i think, look, it is an issue. i think other female candidates have actually struggled with this. i think hillary clinton, for example, when you give a speech, there are certain parts of your inflection when you have to become maybe more argumentative. i think this is maybe something that palin s handers should work with her on. it s certainly not i think the line, by the way, was delivered brilliantly. i think it was a great line. i think she s actually becoming more comfortable and becoming a better speaker. certainly it s not the reason we should vote for her against somebody. i think it s a legitimate question. i can almost hear governor palin typing the tweet
reid, of course, went on to explain he had a legal career, made money doing that, invested well, and that he lives on that in addition to his senate salary and that affords him a comfortable lifestyle here. he really bristled at that. what was interesting is from what i could see, he never looked at sharron angle, never spoke about her by name, only referring to her as my opponent. and she, whereas you saw she turned at him, talked at him and took him on. there was a real way to see the tension of this race. it was quite something. will it make a difference? we ll have to see. it s one of the tightest, most important races we re watching. kelly o donnell, thanks so much. harold, why is it so tight? what was so interesting about it is i think one of the things that my friends in washington have to understand, as kelly made the point how sharron angle looked over at harry reid and harry reid didn t look back. i m for harry reid and giving money to him, full disclosure. middle class
constitution that they have the right to be there. if people understand why it should be there, they ll agree. i disagree with what he says about moderate muslims fighting the war on terrorism. there are moderate muslims in iraq, afghanistan, pakistan, who have fought and died alongside our soldiers trying to get rid of the taliban and extremists. they re the ones being most affected right now by taliban and the extremists. to dispute the fact they re out there fighting i think is absolutely wrong. in fact, the imam behind the past has been praised for being a good moderate voice. when you have bill oh rhymely on your show, you expect these things. that s what he does. there are muslims fighting in afghanistan and iraq who are wearing uniforms, united states army uniforms. hopefully, the issue is resolved sooner rather than later. alaska governor sarah palin is on a three-day swing through california that s partly promotional, partly political in a state slow to embrace her star
have a problem with social security. what we need to do is keep our promises to our senior citizens by putting the money back in the trust fund and going forward, allowing our workers to have the option of a personalized social security retirement plan that becomes an asset to them just like your thrift savings plan is an asset to you. if it s good enough for you, it should be good enough for the rest of us. all these things i ve talked about, my opponent is against those. she wouldn t do that. my job is to create jobs, but she s talking about extreme. heirry reid, it s not your job to create jobs. it s your job to create policies that create the confidence for the private sector to create those jobs. man up, willie. it s too late for that. all right. angle took a personal shot at reid demanding he explain how he got rich during his decades in congress. you came from search light to
about sending their kids to college. from a communications perspective, the important thing for the white house to do is to say to those people we get it, we understand what you re going through, and we re trying to address these issues. now, the white house has done a lot of sush stannive things as ed rendell pointed out. there s always a temptation to try to communicate too much. and then you end up communicating too little. i think that the of the moment piece of this we are a nation of the moment right now, is that people are hurting and they re frustrated and saying, listen to me. we want some help. and the president is going out there to say we ve started, we realize there s a long way to go, but we ve got to keep going down this road because if we go back, we re going back to the way that got you in the problem to begin with. it s a tough message, but it is the truth. at the end of the day, i think the american people respond to being treated like adults and being told the tru
