appointment. we got to know him on this show. that seat, the president's seat, where's that likely to go? does cheryl jackson have a chance? the state treasure have that thing pretty much under control? >> i wouldn't make any predictions right now. the race heated up in the end. i wouldn't call it this close. there is the potential for a big african-american turnout. the state treasure has been in the lead for most of the campaign. thetightened up in these last few days. a lot of negative campaigning going on mainly by the former city hall inspector general who had enough money to go on tv. negative ads were continuing up through this afternoon in both the governor and senate races on both sides. they're an angry group of people out there. >> hang in there, lynn sweet. we'll come back and talk about the president as a candidate again. he is out there acting like a candidate again. i wonder what it is all about.
