make morgan carroll seem reckless on the issue of child predators with the tag line, what was she thinking? but there is a problem. we're awarding this ad with cherries for cherry picking her votes on the issue. both claims are technically true but deceptive because they are ignoring other votes morgan carroll cast. >> making it harder to track online sex offenders and child predators. in 2007, carroll voted against the first version of the bill that would have required sex offenders to register with e- mail and social media accounts with the state. so did several lawmakers. they didn't think the first version had a decent decision. so lawmakers drew up a new bill that very same year with better enforcement built in.

and reported anderson was in no pain and not limping before the operation. so why the rush to under go surgery? >> because eventually it would have caused instability in the knee. and no one needs stability in the knee more than nfl running back. think of all the action the players put out there. the running back puts a lot of tension nonthe knee, torque. booker had a torn meniscus last year. and he was out eight months. granted he had two seasonals. the first one didn't take. hopefully this one will take for cj anderson and he will be out between 8-12 weeks. he will go on injured reserve. some chance he might come back for the playoffs. more than likely he's out for the year. but for his long-term health and ability to play beyond this
