unguarded. martin s lawyer said both he and his family were threatened. is this going to turn into something much bigger than we realize? exposing a dark culture in the locker rooms within the nfl? certainly exposing something dark in the miami dolphins locker room. it s important to remember that just like with anything else, every situation is individual. you can t spin this out to the other 31 locker rooms. what is happening and is shining a light on is there have been incidents like this before. this is spurring other players and former players to come out with their story. we had a former st. louis rams player just yesterday say that he went through a hazing ritual where players took bags full of coins and knocked the rookies in the face. obvio obviously, that s something that is not condoned by nfl rules. on the other side, you have people telling their hazing stories and in quotes, because it involved going to get breakfast for the older players and having to participate in a
can just go by the rhetoric in the piece we saw outside the white house yesterday is not going to go over well with everyone and that is not a good sign as to how things might go over in the house where obvio obviously house speaker john boehner has a conservative caucus to deal with. jim, thank you so much. the debt ceiling deadline hits thursday giving wall street a bad and understandable case of the jitters. stock futures down this morning, last week s optimism over a possible deal now just seems a distant memory. alison kosik is keeping an eye on your money. the bond market is closed but the stock market is open and what you ll wind up seeing is it a market trading on the headlines coming out of washington depending on whether or not there is a deal and washington may look to send a signal to washington d.c., if the u.s. defaults it could cause chaos in the global markets.
that were enunciated by governor romney and president obama. and in the end, what it told us about the country is that we are deeply divided and that the election in itself did not resolve many of the questions that were at the center of the debate. and do you think that the defining characteristic of this campaign was the philosophical divide or was it the way that the obama campaign used technology and data and ran circles around team romney? that is obvious ly important and i think that it is a harbinger of the way that campaigns will be run in the future. if there is a road map to where we are going, the things that the obama campaign did are the things that everyone will go the school on who is thinking of running in 2016. but in terms of what was decisive, i think it is as much the big issues and the big factors in the politics whether it is the demographic shifts, the red/blue divide and obvio
