just a quick question, follow-up question to aon perhaps. essentially what's happening here is we're shifting the $150 million insurance responsibility from the contractor to the mta to do basically. i'm wondering what is the difference, why is it that it's cheaper for us, end up being cheaper for us to shift that responsibility onto the mta as opposed to having the contractor go out and look for it? do we have a more i guess competitive process where the city ends up having a more favorable rate, insurance rate? what is it that is resulting in the savings? >> so, there's two forces working in favor of this solution versus the contractors procuring it. one is that this program, the central subway program, already used capacity in the marketplace for the tunneling contract when it requested the marketplace to provide 500 million. so, it utilized a lot of capacity for those insurance companies that are actually providers of this type of work. so, it's a finite group of insurance companies which -- of which 500 million was already used for the

>> we obviously talked aone of t interest and in exploring is grt deal about the deteriorating threat environment in libya. one of the reasons we had our own people on the ground and by the world looking to try to figure out how to better protect benghazi and have understandings with those in the annex is because it is the host country responsibility but they were not in a position to do what we would expect from an organized country. but they did have the militias. the february 17 brigade have proven to be responsive in the past prior to 9/11. other militias in tripoli proved to be responsive. when i landed in tripoli, i was met by a militia. that was the welcome i have. all of these guys dressed in black, holding their automatic weapons. we knew we were piecing together what a host nation was not yet able to do. >> then there was another meeting in march 2012. i believe that was here with the prime minister. was there a specific conversation between you and them with regards to concerns we had, not just the deteriorating security situation but the inability of them as a health count

he cameras from the cann aon of a spinning. one possible scenario having the electoral vote not by state but by congressional district. can you explain? >> two states already do that. if obama wins one congressional district in alaska, but loses the whole state as a whole, he gets that electoral vote. if republicans were to win debt northeastern district of maine, they would get one vote and the democrats would get the other three. there are some republicans who look at the landscape right now and they think the party all of a sudden has a tough task for the 270 votes it takes to win the presidency. what they might do and there are a couple of bills pending in various legislatures is to take some state who typically vote democratic at the presidential level and are now under republican control and create that same sort of district scenario, so instead of nebraska, a usually very red state, splitting the vote, maybe we talk about a state like michigan or wisconsin, pennsylvania. all three states that have carried by democrats si
