truman style against congress, congress has a 9% popularity rating, at the same time, did they have sort of a confidence that they've got the money, they know they'll have as much money that they'll need, the republicans seem to be in disarray, and that they've got a path to reelection or is it real gut-check time that they know the eventual republican nominee is going to have a lot of strength and these polling numbers about the president's popularity and the loss of independents is a problem? >> i think it's the latter. i think it's gut-check time. daley says look, the last time obama ran against a rather older candidate who had sarah palin on the ticket, he doesn't think much of sarah palin, a lot of excitement and obama only won with 53% of the vote. look, no matter whom the republicans nominate, it's going to be a very, very close election. now, what he didn't say is that the popular vote as we know doesn't determine the president, and they've got a team in chicago getting states to add up to 270 electoral votes, and they are much more concerned with individual state polls than thes

tom weaver, a republican who ran for congress from lowell. he has a number of causes he cares about. including making it harder to vote. he leads a group that approximate it up this billboard near a heavily latino this district in time for an election. last month mr. weaver set up a camera for a special election, so he can watch for things that go wrong at the polls. so he can show others how to set up their cameras in their polling places. this week he posted that video that he took at that polling place. he thinks he saw some stuff go wrong at these polls even on this slow voting day. for example, a poll worker's cell phone rings and he leaves to answer it. i would fix where the subtitle has receives spelled wrong. having the ringer turned on violates the rules, mr. weaver says, exclamation point. someone else had trouble feeding a ballot into a voting machine. scandal. random stills, including one that shows two men sitting at a table inside the polling place. hey, that guy on the left looks like tom weaver. yeah, it's definitely tom weave
