the breakages, the farm mags issues. i felt since we got here, as long as we had some luck on our side, we would have a real good chance of poking through first. reporter: when you break through, what s that like? have you thought about that moment? yeah, i thought about that moment quite often. i think it s going to be an absolute overwhelming sensation, and at the same time, i think it s going to be a tremendous release of stress and everything that we ve been going through here. i think it s just going to be a huge sigh of relief for everyone on here to know that we ve finally made it through whenever that happens. reporter: now, that was my colleague patrick altman talking to brandon fisher, and compared to last night, that drill has got to be much closer now, but what happens once breakthrough comes? well, that means that the rescue shaft is then cut through rock, and what the engineers will then have to decide is whether they

that is according to the health minister. they have been stuck half a mile underground for more than 60 days now, and according to the mining minister, one of the three rescue shafts could reach the men this weekend. after the rescue shaft is completed and stabilized they will hoist each of the miners to the surface in a steel capsule. and now, our reporter is like in chile at the mine. reporter: we just talked to some of the drillers who are very confident they have a new hampshireer hammer in place and all systems are go, and for the families, the wait is almost over. (inaudible lyrics) it looks like life: laundry, knitting, children.
we ve seen ads run so far, just in the last 24 hours, roy blunt has an ad up, and in ohio rob portman has an ad up. the republicans tell me expect to see more commercials. what should we expect to hear from democrats? we expect to hear from democrats that look they re going to go up and talk to these voters and say are we happy? no. is it fast enough? no, but it s republicans that put us in this position. t.j.? we ll see if that works, mark preston. we appreciate you. speaking of the republican message as well, we heard from the president just a moment ago on jobs. this hour we ll be hearing from the top republican, the hour minority leader who hopes to be the house majority leader after the election day. he ll be talking about jobs. that s set for 12:40 eastern time, about 35 minutes from now, we ll take you to live to his home district in western ohio when that happens. we have so many americans out of work, it feels like
