neighbors as seen by everything that has taken place and everybody has been overwhelming. they are trying to raise money where aaron is a 6th grader. it is a little unsettling because it is not every day you hear about somebody you kind of though or have seen around school and they are in the hospital and in surgery. aaron remains sedated in intensive care. he is scheduled to have surgery again tomorrow. his family will probably be in boston for at least another week. live in martinez, john alston, abc7 news. thank you. ama dates is in boston tonight covering the bombing firsthand for us there. today she spoke with aaron s father about the attack and how his young son is doing. aaron hern is is an athletic and energetic 11-year-old. tonight he is sedated in children s hospital boston. he was with his dad, alan and little sister abbie waiting for mom katherine to cross the finish line when the first and then second blast went off. it was instant chaos. i saw my d
debating and then there s not debating. rick perry, when he ran for governor for his current term in texas, he didn t debate at all and used the fact that his opponent declined to release his tax returns as the pretext for why he wouldn t debate. obviously, that s not going to work here. he has to participate in some of these debates. particularly in places like iowa, south carolina, these states that he must win or must do very well in to have his campaign go forward. so he s got to do some, but i think there may be an opportunity because republicans are a little fatigued with all l of the bicker that has gone on in some of these debates, especially the last one, for perry to bow out of a couple. megyn: if he becomes the republican nominee, he s going to have to do some debating against somebody who s very skilled at debating. what kind of a message does it send to the american people, to gop voters that he s not even going to bother to show up at all the gop debates? repo
