well go back to twenty twelve eight sorrow post uh... june fifth election
day and not a huge day in the presidential race is a very dim clinton
we talk about wisconsin will talk more about wisconsin but they were elections
in two or three other states just in new jersey california and new mexico we want
to talk about
uh... an order talk uh... sort of
more closely about
uh... these races we bring in an expert which we like to do here twenty twelve
our own dave colour jersey they respond
dot we are only correspondent who actually travels with bands and that's
nice
had david
can you uh... can you break down what happened in the right near homestead the
highlights of the jurors m_i_t_ managers at fifteen congressional districts now
it has thirteen after eleven so we have twelve pt
too dot march this year fall on the twenty ten census chris christie eight
one
exactly at least
uh... we're gonna talk about chris for sick or you can tell rutgers around the
two congressional districts one represented by bill passed grown one
represent by steven rothman are merging so there was a
a primary for the new district
getting democrat against democrat as an interesting races pastoral
supported by bill clinton he represents more hard scrabble working-class a
catholic
steven rothman if you want to
stereotyping would be the obama actually sport dorsey and he represents the more
bahane jewish vote
both are very liberal a miracle or progress for everyone to call in their
voting records both were were were are obviously colleagues and and also good
for you and they got along that both districts are a mixture of working-class
neighborhoods environmental waste sites in affluent neighborhoods
at which you could say is almost of new jersey
and it was going to be a close race or so the pundits and polls believe but it
was a bill passed ralph
defeated handle a drop in the primary
up escrow also i'm sorry if you like to favor he was one of our first-ever
in-person guests
back way back in like two thousand three rd two thousand four very outspoken very
friendly
came on many times after that always make time for whenever he was on it was
very areas on the phone he would be great but he would talk and talk about
you couldn't get to know if i was outspoken critic of the bush
administration goal that was easy hit
time but he was doing another forty and he gave us a lot of time
so i'm happy you want for that reason otherwise i i'm voting record wise you
know they're identical
and what it what's the what's the reason do you do you know anything about the
reason why it was such a
big women a lot of people think he was going to a lot closer
it was going to call so because most of this in the district
it was believed would
was former robbing
constituency but i believe it was the get-out-the-vote operation on past
growth side that that they did right he's more of the politician where you go
out and get the votes down the street level
uh... politics a celebrity in the republican
opponent apo pasco befall beavis rabbi should move we built a rock was also a
young turks favor 'cause he came up at shell many times
in-person and especially the two thousand four democratic convention
but it doesn't show
coming as a celebrity ryla writes books about kosher saxony
spiritual adviser
michael jackson right enough sa how that guide it's in the news so much i don't
know either is running for congress in that district as a republican who almost
certainly lose yet it's not one of our races to watch here on twenty twelve
hundred josie has a senate race this
fault yes the primerica republic it's robert menendez the incumbent
he's only running against some republican john terrell else who's a
state representative state senator or stays seven and one of the
thirty there is this true allstars from monmouth county a few years back when
chris chris
the was a u_s_ attorney eight one of the henchman of john ashcroft it
devastated that a credit card in monmouth county with his indictments
which were probably valid invite nintendo s he devastated democrat paving
the way for his election at
wiping out the competition and now john two rolls one of his henchmen per month
county is gonna be running for senate yes mendez i suppose the mendez is
heavily favored but
he is he's armed only had about ten to fourteen points ahead
uh... consistently in houses
closest challenger
are
a few years back work
congressman john adler was a congressman from new jersey he lost an election to
jon runyan f
former philadelphia eagles often sublime and
soon thereafter
john adler died but now it's life
shelia adler won the primary to face jon runyan this fall in that district uh...
interesting race and then the donald payne a tenth of a dog right donald
payne senior
died in office earlier this year i believe yes as their primary to fill his
seat on the democratic side was won by his son donald payne kill yourself
one can only presume presume he's going to be yes cuts in the new york area is
going over
win easily idoney believe they'll be opposed probably
christmas he had told this woman in a year to be as he's done many times
and that's smallest tiniest new jersey detail she won the primary to run as the
democratic institutes some incumbent republican and have to local jersey
assembly seats
i would love it there were cottage industry of women chris christine so did
run into a run for office and i have a very large we should follow that race to
see her she's a certain standards and let's do the dance
sticking out with chris christy had a little embarrassing moment yet to
nominate someone for the midget new jersey supreme court
recently
cannot made this
j
african-american guy and he said dole supporter i don't worry as a republican
and repulsive yahoo is a conservative i mean while the democrats didn't want
this chris christie nominee the whole thing was a total fiasco he lost in
committee in the state senate
so its nominations not even proceed but everyone came out
looking really bad in this poor guy this
for day african-american with his partner it was just humiliated publicly
as a political pawns fiasco
uh... yeah another uh... beautiful story out of the christian
annals have all day at the reality now we're at a restaurant is it
uh... so dave late you removed from new jersey but you remained in new jersey
correspondent any move to california
california coincidently
almost like it was at and get it to you had their primary yesterday
uh... somehow there were some interesting races one that's kind of
like although the money was william allot larger
a little bit murine what would happen and receipt
howard berman and brad sherman right here in and the san fernando valley big
difference there it is hallett
for men and black servant face each other again in the fall itself or has
the top two runoffs is
but what do you make of the fact that it was a ten-point win for brad sherman
uh... over howard berman a you know that chair of the belgians winners serious
uh...
uh... we've been there for a long time leadership
uh... to brad sherman sort of a new work uh... member of the house there but who
represents a bigger part of that that's my california st criticize heisman
jersey street streak that i'd like to know whether the new districts
represented
included more brad sherman's former precipitated by alienating
geographically was certainly more of of pressure man's district than it was
howard berman ds
and on and i guess it's back to the better campaign but i don't know did you
observe the
no i ever could have seen a it seemed it seems to be that they were both loath to
spend money but forced to spend money in this part of the campaign just to get
their their you know their names are well known but just get their campaigns
up and running
you know and birmingham
i learns the load lesson he learns today that he's going to have to employ over
that five-month this is a lot of work to do to lose by ten points uh... this
early was almost a gift for him to be able to have this kind of a primary now
even though both of them we knew both of them were to be on the ballot november
uh... the reason for that is california for the first time this election cycle
as open ballots in these elections uh... open primaries in his election for the
first two regardless of party but the highest to finishers move on uh... into
november in in contested races
uh... that raises one race in california that was interesting
uh... another were there were two ballot measures in california one uh... on term
limits bringing down state term limits from fourteen years to twelve years
not a major deal but there is a lance armstrong backed
uh...
and amendment to put uh... ballot amendment uh... to put
a one dollar tax on cigarettes california's one of the lowest tax
cigarette states
in the country uh... well below of the average
and and to try to put in
extra on that and it failed a lot of money from big tobacco came into the
state of california for that
what the surprise seven certified that it was my it certified that loss i mean
it's a hundred percent the boats and
uh... and the difference
uh... is about um... about sixty four thousand votes so that seems like it's
uh... enough that they're going to certify that and say that that was the
that lost so
it has been passed quite surprising but that money really influenced uh...
achieve but finally the and money and again and we've had this conversation on
twenty four while all year long everywhere about the influence of money
in politics
that the money in these sorts of things that was different because money always
fought for santa ballot initiatives from special interest groups it's a little
different than a candidate
uh... so
this is the big that cigarette money would have been here regardless of
citizens united in those sorts of ruined because there was back these but when
you see
the money that goes into these things
how difficult that is uh... for uh... for any whether it's a special interest
group or a candidate to go up against that money adds very difficult to dianne
feinstein cruise
usu to uh... able she has to run against the person who came in second the sun
was a republican
elizabeth and ken came in second some of the interesting people that ran and got
lambasted uh... and uh... one of them was uh... both former guest on twenty
twelve dis two weeks ago david levitt
uh... who ran on a pro cannabis
uh... stand
deal got one point six percent of the vote
poorly tapes
uh... who was the birth there at the person who really started be funded a
lot of the birth there
uh... conversation
uh... she i've got three point one percent of the book vote
and now whom should friend who is started uh... the jewish surfing club
uh... in in california
and was a crazy right winger and then and he said and about islam awful i've
got point five percent of those in california
a couple of races to highlight also danish are slowly built acted alone in
california last night had a rough act
had he run maybe would have done better than none shift for him
uh... over the uh... would just love before we let you go david and to recap
some of the results from yesterday
in new mexico uh... where there were you know there is a definitely into mexico
um... some contested
uh... racist how one of the which is for the nomination let me just get it here
for you of the nomination
uh... to face and then there's one thing i learned that the u_s_ senate democrat
that
senate u_s_ senate seat for the retiring
uh... jeff bingamen uh... martin marty heinrich
uh... one up and the way over his challenger hector ball there s and he
will face heather wilson
uh... one hand we have a great sours embrace ours was these the tea party
funded candidates
in that states and mexico will be
hundred versus hours in the from the first district primary
michelle non-racial
pushed back a big pool of a big effort by uh... p triple c canadair create a
also a former guess on twenty twelve who lost by five percentage points and marty
shadows the mayor of albuquerque
handling their one thing that i thought interesting in new mexico were still
talking about uh... that the uh... the national anthem presidential election a
little bit is a romp all finished behind rick's and form a new mexico yesterday
couldn't have been a good day talk all about ten percent of those new jersey
uh... and it was that was a good mother second there were certainly came in
third in new mexico a place where you think that he would have done
a little bit better
uh... but uh... it doesn't matter that race has been
uh... decided the presidential race and despite the fact that people are gonna
criticize uh... people calling the race until we get to the convention
we all know what's gonna happen
thank you dave colour
our new jersey correspondent
on twenty twelve we're gonna be back to break down wisconsin just a little bit
more uh... and uh... andy because it really is the number one
political story this week certainly and probably until the election michael
shara pictures vehicle outside
but that would work
