Judith Miller of the New York Times reminds Chris Matthews that this election today isn't the only election Bush can be proud of. There was the election in Afghanistan and Palestine, and she said, I think the people in the Bush administration can feel pretty good tonight.

Stephen Hayes of the Weekly Standard tells Chris, yes, this will help Bush with Social Security, gives him more capital. Matthews ruefully says "Bush is like Trump....he keeps on winning."

Judith Miller of the New York Times tells Chris Matthews "something remarkable happened today. "People voted in Syria today", she said. Chris said "what , for dog catcher?". Miller had to explain that Iraqis living in Syria got to vote today, and Stephen Hayes told Chris that this remarkkable vote won't be lost on Syrians, who don't have the right to vote. (Chris had to know the significance of what Judith was saying, but he tried, transparently, to belittle the importance of what she said.
