they're really unsettled by what has happened in washington in addition to the fact that washington was focused on issues that weren't important to them for so long. but nobody has really tested these voters with the kind of nominees of the republican party, the angry base has turned to. we've not seen where the independents are going to weigh in. and if -- can the tea party candidates, and i think some of them can, some of them may not, but can they convince the independent voters that they should have confidence in them, that they can restore some confidence? gwen: that's the battle lisa muck kowske is -- lisa murkowski is trying to figure out in a written ballot. that people aren't buying into the tea party. >> it worked for joe lieberman a couple years ago. gwen: it wasn't a write-in. >> here's whether we know pragmatism is dead. it's certainly dead for the fall. but if we get after the election, let's say republicans win the house and president obama says i've got to work with speaker john boehner, is john boehner going to be so concerned with the tea party conservatives in his cau

washington state and california. again, these are democrats who barbara boxer and murray, who everybody thought would be their insurance and now they're in races that are too close to call. gwen: if you're president obama and you fly to wisconsin or washington state or any of these states which are suddenly in flux, do the incumbents greet you at the airport or find a way to be someplace else in the northern part of the state? >> in fact, in wisconsin russ feingold was not there to greet the president, although he says he will be there the next time if it's possible. but his problem is much, as he's been a real independent thinker, he is being tarred with the same brush everyone else is this year which is, if you're from washington, you're a washington insider and that is just about the worst thing anybody could be called. >> if there's anything the president can do to make a difference in these races? >> actually, what the democrats announced this week is that essentially they're going to try and make it feel like 2

i mean, what happened in washington, d.c. and the unions who were a part of this in terms of opposing what the mayor and michelle rhee did, if we make it about individual jurisdictions, the unions are powerful. some of those who oppose the refofrms in the status quo are powerful. is it good enough to step back and allow the district to have themselves. can you prevail and perform when it's this tough? >> the national leaders have to be involved and engage in the local level as well. i mean, the reform movement -- what we're doing in detroit cannot take place without very strong sup from governor granholm , mike flanigan, and michelle's case, adrian fenty. every major decision that i have made i have been sued either by local leaders, school board members, and there is a sense of urgency in these urban school districts. you cannot sit back and let children and not take care of what's needed for children, particularly more rigor in the classrooms, more effective leaders. not just teachers effective leaders. i moved 51 principal

this pledge acknowledges that washington has gotten in the way of those solutions and that washington has made the problems worse. our problem -- our pledge to america is that we will respect the will of the american people and we will return to the principles that have made this nation great. faith, family, freedom, hope, and opportunity. we pledged to honor the constitution and the original intent of the framers. we pledge to a defense policies that promote greater liberty, wider opportunities, a robust defense, and national economic prosperity. we pledge to honor our families, a traditional marriage and life, and the private and faith based organizations that form their very core of our american values. the pledge to america is built on policies that reflect these principles. we call on speaker nancy pelosi to commit to taking action on these policies today. >> i am from suburban chicago. this is a morning of very distinct contrast. we have, on the one hand, an economic plan that has been put upon the united states and its citizens by folks in washington that are convinced they hav

the values voters summit in washington. usually it's a state for kristian conservatives who for so long had interest, overshadowed quite a bit this year by the tea party movement so today we saw what some thing of as a shotgun wedding of sorts. people teaching the value of a tea party. at center stage, christine o'donnell, who's been the big story all week because of her big upset. she's a tea party favorite, just won a republican delegation in delaware but she recently worked. listen to christine o'donnell speaking at this conference. >> the small elite don't get us. they call us whacky. they call us wing nuts. we call us we the people. we don't always agree. we don't always share the same strategy memos. we don't always endorse the same candidates or speak off the same talking points. we're loud, we're rowdy, we're passionate. >> is this, bill bennett, a shotgun wedding in the sense that if you go to tea party weddings a lot of them are conservative on the socialist issues but they're libertarian. they don't want congress

there are not disenfranchise in washington. >> so i felon should move to washington? >> no, thank you. >> you argue that the voting rights act does not apply to the felon disenfranchisement laws, but i hear the arguments that it does not matter. it that so far as this case is concerned, and putting aside whether the evidence is substantial or not, there is a shot of discrimination. >> we do not believe that it is within the ambit of the voting rights act because we do not believe congress intended to apply -- unless there is intentional discrimination. we discussed a hypothetical a few minutes ago where you have to consider a felon disenfranchisement law and acted for intentional discrimination purposes. in that case, the court would address the under the 14th and 15th amendments. >> the problem with that argument is that we have that very case right now. the supreme court did support the claim and was left with the voting rights act claim. the case that you are saying cannot possibly occur is what you are arguing. >> a case involving intentional discrimination has be

these are fundamental things among others that people are looking for from washington. if you say you're going to do that and you get elected, then do it. there's got to be some level of accountability. unfortunately, politics today are full of people that think they can say or do anything because once they get elected they think they'll raise so much money they can make you for get. >> schieffer: you come from a state and are running in a state where a lot of folks are on social security. do you believe that it's time to privatize social security? has it outrun its usefulness? >> no, i do not believe it should be privatized. i don't believe it's outlived its usefulness. i think it's an extremely important program and it should be preserved and saved. i view social security through the eyes of two people, my four children and my mom. my mom is a beneficiary of social security. she turns 80 this year. it is her primary source of income. without its existence, her life would be very hard and difficult. i think social security faces long-term challenges that need to be con

i want to say one thing about washington, though. we ran our campaign on the premise that change begins from the bottom up. and that we wanted to come here and affect some changes that would help people in communities accomplish what they wanted to accomplish. a good example is education reform, where arne duncan has done a great race to the top. 48 states, higher standards, not because of a mandate from the federal government but because of competition at the local level. so we tried to keep our eye on the ball and remember what we were upset here. >> when you leave washington, are you optimistic or pessimistic? to i am always optimistic about this country. i am the son of immigrants, and as such, i was -- ingrained in me is the belief that this is the greatest country in the world. and i think we have enormous capacities. i think we are unrivaled in our productivity, in our innovation. i think we need to take advantage of those things in a very challenging century so that my kids can have the same sense of optimism that i did. made

the second is the amendment of the washington statute so that the washington statute so that in fact it is really just prisoner disenfranchisement. presumptively, once someone is no longer incarcerated, they are generally restored the right to vote. would you comment on those two elements of the analysis? >> the supreme court might be waiting to see what the court does on this matter. [laughter] [applause] >> i would not be sure about that. >> you do not want to win here. >> on the second question, the aclu points out that washington amended by and continued non- incarceration of people continuing to live under custody, meaning in effect that there are more people living under disenfranchisement. it actually disenfranchises more people that are not incarcerated the incarcerated. >> which one is before? your claim has to do with which version? the one that is moot? >> not at all. what it does not do is alleviate the racial discrimination in the criminal justice system, nor does it prevent -- >> i hear your argument, but my question is if the original statute is delayed live issue befo

o'donnell's victory produced decidedly different reactions in washington today. republican national committee chairman michael steele said o'donnell would have his full support and he praised the movement that spurred her victory. >> this is coming from the streets of america, this is coming from small towns, this is coming from neighborhoods wide and large. and the establishment in this town is so clueless and so out of touch with what real people are going through every day. >> brown: at the white house, press secretary robert gibbs played up the criticism of o'donnell from her fellow republicans. >> i think if you look at what people like karl rove or people like the state g.o.p. chairman have said, the republicans in delaware nominated somebody that they don't believe can win, i think, in the words of the state party chair, couldn't be elected dogcatcher. >> brown: in new hampshire's republican senate primary, meanwhile, a party favorite did manage to pull out a narrow victory. as kelly ayotte was declared the winner today over conservative insurgent ovide la

even the streets in washington guarantee it. you can't drive from the white house to the capitol without getting stuck in traffic behind taxis, pedi-cabs, and tourist mobiles that look like amphibious ducks. sometimes, we do better with gridlock. as we head into election season, we might finally get the obama stock market rally. oh, it won't be based on the president pushing his plans through congress. no, it'll be based on his programs getting stuck in a congress with enough republicans to step on the brakes. history shows that the stock market prefers a divided government. amid the mess, i must point out one surprising and hopeful bit of bipartisanship-- i am impressed that senator ron wyden, democrat of oregon, and senator judd gregg, republican of new hampshire, have put together a sensible tax reform plan. it's simple and it's fair, and it could help the economy. following ronald reagan's lead, they cut the number of tax brackets to just three: 15%, 25%, and 35%. they cut out that dastardly alternative minimum tax, flatten

gwen: we do nothing better in washington than send messages. sometimes they get received and sometimes not. but try as you might, the president can't spend every waking moment on the economy. especially when world leaders like mahmoud ahmadinejad are in new york stirring up trouble. or when there's a chance to make another pitch for the middle east peace process. but what a difference a year makes since the last time the president visited the u.n. general assembly. what's the same and what's changed, tom? >> well, what's changed for one thing is the fact that president obama is now much weaker than he was a year ago. when he went to the united nations last year, there were cheers. there were applause. delegates were taking pictures of him. his main message is we're going to re-engage with the united nations. it was an end to the so-called go it alone years of the bush administration. so he was really given a very warm welcome. and now he has been criticized over the last year as you know for having been naive perhaps in his faith in engagement.
