governor chris christie hug. governor crist. hug of president obama. that was fatal to his campaign. it was it would have meant a lot less if it weren t the policies before that. governor crist is a very tale t talented politician and really likeable person and people like him. people and he was very succes successful early on new career as governor and very popular when i decided to run against him. the hug came in combination with a moment where a lot of people felt that the republican party was not clearly articulating what it stood for and being a forceful alternative to the president of this party and that someone of the things that motivated me to run. is a tactic that we used. i think we would have won despite the hug. greta: but you were a long shot in the beginning. absolutely. greta: governor crist had it knocked up most people thought. his job approval ratings were very high and the survivors you port that comes from being an incumbent, the
small businesses if you had a chance to look at that. oh, absolutely. greta: and any, you know, tell me. i travel all over my state. i m from south dakota but small businesses tell me every single day that they cannot face the uncertainty that this bill creates. not knowing how much the healthcare costs will rise and exactly what the penalties might be. they say the only certainty will be to pay the penalty for each individual employee up front and then drop the healthcare plan. the president obviously wasn t telling the truth when told everyone during the campaign to get the bill passed everyone could keep the plan if they liked it. if a small business owner decides to end the healthcare plan that employee he doesn t have the option any more. greta: we do have a huge population that need help and are sick and don t have the means. what happens if the bill is declareded unconstitutional? do you have a plan for them? there has been plans propo e proposed before and conversatio
