and taquita took a leap of faith and agreed to marry him. i thought the struggles with the drugs were over. he got a job and we were happy. then they laid him off. he would get depressed because he wanted to provide. it was really shortly after all of that that he went back into the streets again. jerome s infractions caught up to him in october of 2007. unarm and high, he broke into an antique shop and stole jewelry and $300 in cash. at the trial, they argued as a repeat offender, prison was the only place he belonged and the judge handed down an extreme sentence. it was in the newspaper. man gets 50 years. the release date was 2032. long time. that s when i went to the pastor
of democratic establishment figures or politicians who are clambering for biden to get in the race. i m a little puzzled by why he s doing it to be honest. paul, do you see the lane he would take? 18% of voters say they would back biden but if he officially got in the race, i guess there is a good chance his numbers could go up. you look at bill clinton back in 91, didn t join the race until october and poll numbers were even lower than biden s are now. absolutely. completely different race. there was no contested iowa caucuses in 1992 because the senator from iowa is running so first contest february 18th, 1992 in new hampshire. that was unusually late entry and this would be. ryan makes a good point about the lane. barack obama, he entered earlier but caught fire very, very late in october of 2007. but he had that issue of the war vote.
it s the final thing is it doesn t seem like an outpouring of democratic establishment figures or politicians who are clambering for biden to get in the race. i m a little puzzled by why he s doing it to be honest. paul, do you see the lane he would take? 18% of voters say they would back biden but if he officially got in the race, i guess there is a good chance his numbers could go up. you look at bill clinton back in 91, didn t join the race until october and poll numbers were even lower than biden s are now. absolutely. completely different race. there was no contested iowa caucuses in 1992 because the senator from iowa is running so first contest february 18th, 1992 in new hampshire. that was unusually late entry and this would be. ryan makes a good point about the lane. barack obama, he entered earlier but caught fire very, very late in october of 2007.
this was in october of 2007. this was a debate in philadelphia, msnbc was sponsoring it as you can see, tim russert was moderating it. and the question that came up involved driver s licenses for illegal immigrants. it was something that the democrat governor of new york was talking about it. hillary clinton seemed up able to give a firm answer on it. you told the national new hampshire editorial board it makes a of sense. why does it make a lot of sense to give an illegal immigrant a driver s license? well, what governor spitzer is trying to do is fill the vacuum left by the failure of this administration to bring about comprehensive immigration reform. you said you thought it made sense to do it. no, i didn t, chris. but the point is what are we going to do with all these illegal immigrant? do you support his plan? tim, this is where everybody
proposition. it really is who you are and people get a good sense of the candidates and got a good sense of hillary in 2008. greg, when bernie sander was running for governor of vermont, you helped his opponent by playing sanders in a mock debate. how is he? he s an excellent debater. i ve supported him. he can be pretty aggressive and although he doesn t get personal, a lot of his focus is on drawing distinctions, showing how he s different than everyone else on the stage and been doing that since the 70s. his message remained the same. his performance skills on television and as a political actor improved and he s been campaigning in 20 elections over the last 43, 44 years. governor richardson, there was a moment in the debate in october of 2007 you actually came to hillary clinton s defense and i just want to play that moment.
