she was just on fox with greta
Closed caption transcript and its errors (hugh seen = Hussein)
The united states senate seat
and is she going to win?
>> I think she suit absolutely
can win.
She need -- I think she
absolutely can win.
She needs to stay on -- stay
focused.
Funny we are learning more
about christine o'donnell and
her college years and her
teenaged years and her
financial dealings than
anybody ever bothered to ask
about barack hugh seen obama
candidate and now our
president.
She is -- doing great she is
going to win.
>> Greta: Her opponent chris
coons is getting a lot of
press, aggressive reporting on
something he wrote 25 years
ago.
When he was in college about
whether he was a bearded
marxist or not is that fair to
go after him?
>> I think it is fair to dig
in somebody's past, if you
will and find out their
associates and beliefs and
what formed their beliefs.
More important is coons'
position today on growing
government and his desire to
join with the extreme left,
the democrats in congress and
start taking away more of our
liberties, via that growth of
government they've so
embraced.
That is more important than
him admitting he was a bearded
marxist back then.
Somebody needs to ask him if
he still is such a thing that
would be interesting to hear.
>> Greta: I think he's denied
it multiple times.
What he's saying is he is
running on his record people
know him delaware.
I think it is using
politically against him much
like goes on in politics sort
of smearing him.
He's getting a taste of what
others have gotten.
What you have gotten, what a
lot of candidates get.
I'm trying to figure out when
are we get to put behind the
step where we jab each other
unfairly, because the other
guy did it.
>> Absolutely right.
What you are suggest something
let's stick with what is
relevant today.
What is relevant today is a
candidate's intends where they
are going to go with spending
and growth in government
and our constitution.
That is what needs to be
focused on.
We only have 41 days until
midterm elections.
That is what voters who are
wise in their collecting of
information, that's what they
want and need know what is the
intention of these candidates?
>> Greta: Is the republican
party imploding a bit from the
tea party movement?
Now to your state alaska,
senator murkowski, who lost
the primary to joe miller, now
running as a write-in.
Some say she is a sore loser.
Don't know if she is a spoiler
or not, but what about lisa
murkowski?
>> You have to remember after
she was handed her job by her
father frank murkowski who
served many years in the
senate, lisa, recently of
course ran as a republican and
she was essentially fired guy
the -- by the gop primary
voters they said no thank you
we want new ideas, common
sense conservatism to
represent our statement she
was fired by the gop primary
voters.
She tried to run as a
libertarian.
They said you are not one of
us, you can't run representing
our party.
Now he is running with the
backing of many of the state's
democrats.
That seems to be kind of the
mode of operation by a lot of
liberals, within the
republican party.
Not real principled, not
really grounded on where they
stan.
Doing whatever they can.
Sake whatever they can to get
elected.
That's unfortunately where we
see lisa today.
>> Greta: You have senator
murkowski in alaska.
You have governor crist in
florida.
Who also he saw the writing on
wall trying to get the
republican nomination.
You've got mike castle who
said that it is reported
tonight he has not said he's
going to be a write-in it
seems he has left the door
open a little that he might be
a write-in against
christine o'donnell.
Sitting back and looking at
the republican party, it
doesn't look like there's much
unity.
It looks like there's some
implosion as a result of the
tea party, wrong?
>> I've always appreciated
that the republican party,
contested primaries and even
after, we are not afraid to
duke it out.
We are not just sheep going
along to get along with one
anointed leader.
Within the party there's
healthy debate and good
competition.
I do believe now is the time
for unity.
After the republican voters
have spoken in a primary now
it is time to move forward
with the agenda best for the
individual states and for our
nation as a whole that is,
unfortunately, not what is
happening now with for
instance, senator lisa
murkowski, trying to run as a
libertarian.
Now trying the third strike
that she has underway now.
That's far from trying to
unite the agent dark the party,
the message, the common sense
solutions that have to be
plugged in to get our country
back on the right track.
>> Greta: Does she have any
shot at it?
I don't have a sense of
alaskan voters or what the
numbers are?
Does she have any shot at all
at winning?
>> There are so many alaskans
like the rest of america
saying no more of the same.
We are not embracing
status quo any more.
That's what the tea party
movement is about.
There is no one tea party, but
tea party americans rising up
and saying we are going to
electric those who will
protect the constitution, rein
in the government and allow
the private sector to grow and
prosper.
There are enough alaskans who
embrace those principles to
vote for joe miller and send
him to D.C. To help lead the
u.S. Senate.
>> Greta: We played the
sound bite the other day where
you seem to least door open to
run yourself.
What is it that in your mind
would be a reason to run?
>> A reason to run is if
nobody else were to step up
with the solutions that are
needed to get the economy back
on the right track and to be
so committed to our national
security that they are going
to do all they can, including
fighting those on extreme left
who seem to want to dismantle
some of our national security
tools that we have in place.
If nobody else wanted to step
up, greta I would offer myself
up in the name of service to
the public.
But, I also know that anybody,
anybody can make a huge
difference in this country
without a title, without an
office, just being out there
as an advocate for solutions
that can work to get the
country on the right track
that's where I am now.
It is a comfortable place to
be.
If my candidacy wasn't good
for my family, if it wasn't
good for the common sense
conservative agenda that needs
to be adhered to, then i
wouldn't run.
I don't need the title.
I don't need any
self-gratification or personal
power seeking of my own to run
for office.
>> Greta: Now a backdoor
question.
Are you more likely to run
today in your mind than you
were for instance six months
ago or less likely than six
months ago?
>> I am in the same place as i
was six months ago, absolutely
concentrating on the midterm
election.
>> Greta: You haven't moved an
inch either way?
>> Nope, nope still very
committed to doing all that i
can to make sure in these
midterm elections that we have
people elected heading to
congress who will do the right
things for this country.
>> Greta: Governor, thank you
very much.
I understand we'll see you
monday, thank you.
