7:10 am
of the polls, both in 2012 but also in 2008 then they totally disappeared. we should see a lot of shaking out and there is an opportunity for a candidate who is lower in the polls to kind of make their mark, grab a moment. and so there -- you know, that is something to watch, in addition to the carson/trump back and forth. >> at this stage of the campaign four years ago wasn't herman cain in first place? >> he had his moment and michelle bachman had her moments. yes, a lot of opportunity here for other candidates and why a lot of them are still staying in the race even thorough in single digits and stuck there for a long time. >> good information, john dickerson. thank you so much. john will moderate next month, the democratic presidential debate on cbs on december 14th. a laser caused a scare for
