0 chairlift. skiing is about the chairlift! right. it is not about going down the mountain. the mountain is a means to the end. alex just told me in the control room that lucy and george s initial experience on the ski slopes were much like mine when i come here. i cry every time i come here before i go. but you don t have the other crying because you have to leave. let s get to the news, reverend al sharpton, unless you d like to share a skiing story from the weekend. i don t have many skiing stories. i was trying to think of one but i really don t. i might have picketed in a ski lodge once. with, that let s get into the news. in the white mountains. right. the country s ongoing debate over gun safety. harry reid will bring the senate s proposal to the floor and include votes on assault weapons and high capacity magazines. yesterday, new york city mayor mike bloomberg optimistic about the vote during an appearance on meet the press. we are going to have a vote, f
newt gingrich won the primary. what are you trying to imply about our state? any time we predict what voters can do they go and do the exact opposite. especially in south carolina. exactly. no question. my point is even with all the things we are talking about, a tough race for sanford, she is such a strong candidate answered does have real baggage to deal w katon, you were quoted in politico, it looks to me like governor sanford has a tough hill to climb, not getting 40% have to convince people who didn t vote for him and those are very motivated republican primary votes who won t come out to the polls, i think the long knives will be out. those are your words. they are. and it s true. this is south carolina. and welcome back. he is running against a guy named curtis bostic, former united states marine, not a shrinking v shrinki
shrinking violet. this race suspect over yet. you think there is a chance sanford loses this thing in the runoff? i do. i mean, he is likely that he can win, but i m not going to wholesale out curtis bostic s chances to win because jim demint came in second in his primary to former governor davids belism tom rice came in second in his primary to former lieutenant governor, andre bauer. our history is that second place position is not a bad place to be, especially with a low turnout model. so i m not going to wholesale and move on to the general elechblgs i tell you that is a river of red down there, where romney won that district by 18%. so a river of red? a great candidate. but at the end of the day. we are going to find out whether that moral comp nas got high wire, all right republican party around base continue to overlook that?

area congressional seat. what is still unclear who his opponent will be. a recount between curtis bostic and larry grooms, separated by less than 1%. sanford will try to cobble support for those who voted for other fields. the importance of putting the country s financial house in order. at the end of the day what we re all fighting for as fellow south carolinaians and americans is this larger notion about doing something on the tipping point that our civilization now finds itself. we have 40% of every dollar borrowed to sustain government. we have a fed that buys 75% of what the treasury spends every year. where we have a congressional budget office that says in just 12 years we will only have enough to pay for interest and entitled and nothing else.
