[0:00]" In yesterday's election Republicans won the two gubernatorial elections in New Jersey Virginia. A Democrat took a policy in upstate New York. The question is what role did the Obama factor play in yesterday's election I asked David plus the man who managed Barack Obama's presidential campaign."
[0:17]" He thought that governor Corzine and McCready in Virginia. -- the best choices in those states would be good partners for him. Both of them came up short obviously I think the most important thing develop out these elections has nothing to do the results -- was what happened in new York and I'm not worried I'm glad we won New York but a money to talk about that. You know they basically did did did the extreme element of the Republican Party the pale and kind of -- of that -- Republican moderate woman out of that race out of the party.

And you don't I think that's a dangerous pathway for the Republican Party but he listen I think that you know structurally are parties in good shape. But we have to deliver. And if we don't deliver -- will deserve what's coming to us you know we've made some commitments to the middle class people in this country and particularly organized. Bring health care costs under control in order to stabilize the economy and we're gonna you know create a pathway to millions of green jobs we got to deliver. And you know in Washington right now on health care particular. We're gonna do this almost alone in his apartment in a naval haven't help from a Republican senator to bet we can't complain about that we just got to get it done."
[1:28]" So those Republican -- yesterday would you call them more of our lesson bragging rights rather than a reflection on the Obama presidency."
[1:36]" You know actually that's try to smartest thing -- effort said this morning about because there's a lot of gas bag going on about you know. What this means in you know there seems to be erased it assigned. More and more significance arriving bragging rights is a good I'd look back just eight years ago. Right after 9/11 in fact we went to Virginia governor's race for the first time in you know like sixteen years we when New Jersey for the first time in eight years. And you know that was bragging rights in an end up having no real impact beyond that is you know the Republicans went on a big 2002 wins. In Virginia wasn't even a battleground state in in 2004 when Kerry -- so I think that's exactly right it's it's it's bragging rights. They want a couple of elections we won New York we want Charlotte, North Carolina mayor's race for the first time in twenty years so you know we've both got things to point to."
