Hey, pull up a chair. It's hacks on tap with David Axelrod, Robert Gibbs, and Mike Murphy. Wake up Murphy, it's election.

I know it's morning.

This is a second time you've gone to the No Royalty Sound Library and tried to give me a

Yeah the race is really off. It's true all the way to Richmond for the new confederacy but

we're getting into that. And now we need to figure out what it means.

So we brought in a brilliant collaborator today.

Kristen Soltis Anderson, one of the great Republican pollsters Kristen welcome.

Thank you for having me. You're too kind.

Well, let's see what you say at the end of the fourth.

field. New Hampshire is the only place that has the potential right now

to be interesting in the next couple of weeks.
