for an exclusive interview early this friday morning, october 29th, 2010. captioning funded by cbs boy, just so spooky outside. >> spooky morning. >> look at that. there's a raven and a graveyard and -- oh. >> and kids! >> look at that. can you stand it? that's what it looks like at 59th and 5th. we will have a halloween ghoulishly great extraf began zi here. good morning. i'm harry smith. >> hello. i'm maggie rodriguez. your celebration begins this morning. you can see the plaza is completely transformed this morning. we have a lot of surprises in store but i am most personally excited for our mystery costumes to finally be revealed. i don't know about you but for me it's an exhausting week of working on this costume, making it as authentic as possible and

finally the moment of truth has arrived. can't wait to see what you're going to be. >> you have to make your commitment. >> that's it. we are all in. please stay tuned. but we begin this friday morning with the latest news on this final weekend of the 2010 campaign. with democrats working furiously to avoid a republican wipeout. suddenly all the attention is on democratic party infighting in florida. cbs news congressional correspondent nan sis cordes is here with us in the studio with the story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. it's unfolding in the sunshine state where there's a three-way race for senate. the republican marco rubio has a commanding lead and takes something mayor to shake things up at this point. sounds like that's what president bill clinton was trying to engineer. >> any rumor or any statement by anyone that says i made a decision to get out of the race is inaccurate at best. >> reporter: cbs news confirms republican turned independent charlie crist approached president bill clinton's camp about a deal.

crist promised to caucus with democrats in exchange for democrat kendrick meek dropping out of the race. sources say clinton approached meek about the plan twice meek accepted and then backed out. meek insists it never happened. >> there was never a deal. no one called me and said, hey, you need to get out of the race. >> hello, alaska! how are you, anchorage? >> reporter: up in alaska former governor sarah palin spent the evening rallying for republican joe miller. >> getting the country back on the right track is to change the way that businesses is done in washington. no more business as usual. we have to shake it up. we have got to send joe miller to the united states senate. >> reporter: the outspoken miller is one of 51 house and senate hopefuls palin is backing this year. if the candidates win on november 2nd, she'll cement her role as a king maker and fuel speculation of a presidential bid. it is a topic palin addressed in her interview with "entertainment tonight." >> it's a yes if there are others who are not willing to be

running for the right reasons then it wouldn't be something that todd and i would consider seriously. >> reporter: karl rove, former senior aide to president bush says, of palin, with all due candor, appearing on your own reality show, i'm not certain how that fits in the american calculus of that helps me see you in the oval office. back in florida, president clinton's maneuvers there show just how worried democrats are about the possibility of losing control of the senate next week. the thinking is if their candidate can't win then throwing the race to an independent who would at least vote for them might be next best thing. maggie? >> cbs' nancy cordes, thank you. joining us from orlando is the man at the center of that controversy in florida, democratic u.s. senate candidate kendrick meek. congressman, good morning. >> good morning. >> have you ever considered dropping out of this race and throwing

charlie chris in the. >> absolutely not. the discussion president clinton and i had when he was here in orlando where i am now campaigning was that he heard of these reports that i may possibly get out of the race. we talked about it. obviously, what i know now, charlie crist being desperate, feeling the pathway to victory is me out of this race was calling the clinton office and i didn't know that but neither be here nor there. i talked about it. i told him i wasn't interested. he didn't push me to do it. he said, listen, whatever decision is a decision you feel is the right decision. i made that decision. that i'm staying in the race like i did before. i mean, ever since i won the democratic primary the crist camp is trying to get me out of this race. >> so why does president clinton's spokesman confirm that the conversation not only took place but that you twice agreed to back out of the race and then backed snout. >> that is not true.

that's -- president clinton and i talked. there's no way in the world that anyone can by name -- i mean, these are anonymous -- they said that we had a discussion, confirmed this. >> his spokesman confirmed it. >> that we had the conversation about the race in general. we did not come to any kind of agreement that i would get out of a race and the president did not push me to do so. i did not tell him that i wanted to do it. we talked about it. and that's it. that was the bottom line. there was no -- i mean, let's look at it this way. this report is inaccurate at best. i mean, first this thing about a meeting in jacksonville. the president was never in jacksonville with me. then it was a question of me agreeing twice. i never agreed to it once. and then it came down to a rally planned and every -- i mean, this was not -- this is -- this is made up so i don't know where it came from but the bottom line is, if there are individuals who

feel that they have evidence to say that i did so, i look forward to them stepping forth and doing what i'm doing right now, talking to you directly. i'm the candidate. my website is blown up overnight. kendrickmeek.com. words of encouragement and contributions. i'm the democratic nominee for the united states senate. the only pro-choice candidate here in florida, the only candidate endorsed by the vfw pac. veterans of foreign war. i have a lot of support here and i'll do well and look forward to the people of the state of florida voting and just like i was down in the primary. i'm saying, you know, i won the primary. i'm saying that let the people vote and the bottom line is people are smart. they know who they want to vote for. they know why they're voting. >> congressman, you're running a distant third and the polls show that if you did drop out, most of your supporters would support charlie crist instead. would you consider dropping out if it meant keeping tea party favorite marco rubio from

winning this thing? >> this whole 15% thing in the polls, enough of that. because i know bluntly that i will do a lot better than what that particular poll indicates. i am looking forward to continuinging to allow the people of the state of florida to have a chance to vote for the candidate of their choice. that's the bottom line. >> thank you, congressman. >> thank you. >> now here's harry. >> all right, maggie. thank you very much. exclusively from washington is governor caine. good morning. >> good morning. >> you have a fiasco in florida. the president saying this is what i said and this is what he agreed to. you heard congressman meek saying i did not agree to it. i did not say that. who's telling the truth? >> well, whattharry, there's noe in the country where we have made a significant contributions as the state of florida for senator meek and gubernatorial candidate sink. that's our biggest state of

investment and at the end of the campaign, the most precious resource is time. i was in florida last friday and saturday. campaigning with and campaigning for kendrick meek. >> so you don't deny that president clinton tried to -- went to -- >> i have no idea -- harry, i have no idea of any conversations between president clinton and kendrick but i do know that. i was with kendrick last week. he didn't mention anything about those conversations to me. we were campaigning throughout the miami area together. he's our candidate. we are putting our muscle behind him because he's done such a good job and supportive of the important work going on here. >> you had no idea that president clinton had gone to the congressman and asked him twice to get out of the race? >> i was down there campaigning friday and saturday with kendrick and for kendrick. he is our candidate. we are making major investments in florida and in a three-way race, he has an excellent chance. >> very interesting. all right. i want to move on to what's going to happen, predicted to be happening on tuesday. >> right. >> that is to be a bloodbath for

democrats. are you willing to make a prediction that won't happen? >> yeah. i'll be glad to, harry. look. last time i was on with you guys it was the morning of the president's rally in madison. and i think maggie was interviewing him saying what if nobody turns out to the rally? i think there's going to be a good turnout and there were 26,000 folks that night. the early voting analysis across the nation is showing that democrats are doing very well. in early voting. a lot of predictions are big republican wave, it is not showing up in the early voting stats. i see energy and enthusiasm for our candidates. is it going to be tough? sure it is. midterms in a tough economy are tough. we have a good ground game and i see evidence of it everywhere i go. >> all right. we'll cement that, freeze it and rerun it wednesday. >> put it on tape and talk about it later. all right. >> thanks so much.

myself as inspiring, but whether we like it or not as ceos, we're role models, people are watching, watching our behaviors, what we say and it is clearly a tremendous opportunity for us to help people and i tell you, if we can out of this show, if we can get at least one of our people to be thinking bigger about what they can do, it will be worth it. >> not every boss will have the opportunity to do what you got to do. what do you take away from this you would advice other bosses, other ceos? >> if you have the opportunity, do it, i say. but if you don't, frankly, you can go under cover without telling them and show up to meetings. >> that's true. >> show up to facilities. i have actually done that a few times now. i went to europe and showed up in a country. i didn't tell them i was going to be there. showed up, called them and said, hey i'm here i'd like to visit with you and i did. i visited one of our operations, one of our factories, they had no clue, unprepared so they're real, doing the real jobs and

that's one of the things i've been telling other ceos that ask me, you can do it without the cameras and i'm doing it now and it really is a good exercise to do. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
