i voted for al gore over bush but then voted for bush over john kerry. appreciate moderates like blanche lincoln. i think she is presidential. i ever cuccinelli and from the cincinnati area. we haven't conversely done an outstanding job. the hamilton county senator is dusty rhodes. i am a very independent and i look at their character. i did not care what the race or religion or sex. when i see as sleazy campaign like a gubernatorial campaign with their present governor strickland attacking cases, i'd vote against that. >> thank you. brian sandoval getting 56% over given to is mired in his own personal scandal. c-span is the only place where you concede the speeches in their entirety. we are awaiting word from other candidates declaring victory. more of your phone calls and reaction to these primaries. 12 states holding elections. calling from california, could morning. -- good evening. >> i think jerry brown sounds like it better candidate. and i did not like her speech today. i thought it was really fake. i thought -- i trust democrats more than republ

well, nafta was actually -- al gore took full credit for that, sending jobs overseas.t: we will leave it there and getta response. guest: in my earlier answer, i said that was one thing that the clinton administration did that was the wrong thing to do. apparently the gentleman did not hhar that answer. host: next call, democratic line. caller: there is a fundamental issue thatti think a very large part of the american people do not understand. our country is run on a capitalist system, which means the government, the corporations, it is just basic economics. there is a lack of education. people do noo understand that money is king in it is, it will be, until we change some of our laws, some of the way that the government interacts with the company's. president obama is a very intelligent person who understands the bigger picture, and unfortunately we have many people in this country who only can see past next week and that is about it. host: given what the viewer just said, can i ask you, what is the first law you would change to address her concerns about money and c

he's been dubed the al gore of the g.o.p. and made environmental changes voted for tar , which angered a lot of conservatives. voted against the surge in iraq. he's really stuck himself out there as far as the votes he's takin' in congress andy advocating names like joe wilson and bob -- reminds folks he is a republican. >> and it is such a well-established conservative -- it's considered the most conservative university in the united states. it is a pretty big institution in the district. it's been split in the sense that bob taylor, one of the senior administrators at the school, has backed gowdy. he backed him during the primary. so there's a real split going with the incumbent that they know or going with trey gowdy who is billing himself as a true, blue conservative. >> what happens over testimony weekend leading up to tuesday's runoff? >> well, both candidates have busy schedules. they will be meeting three times, together tonight for a debate on a conservative radio shation. -- radio station. saturday they will be at t

and well, i mean, look at how much the former vice president of the united states, al gore, has made like in the european union. i yield back. mr. gohmert: i'm going to mention the former vice president gore, he has a global warming problem of his own now, so i'll leave reference to him out of it entirely. apparently his planet is warming. but it is interesting, too, when i heard the president talking previously about this cozy relationship between regulators and the big oil, here it is back again to the cynicism and all those days as a judge, you know, it hit me. and i asked my office to check and sure enough, they found a press release from the department of interior dated june 18, 2009. and i'm glad my friend was enlightened as i was to find out just how cozy british petroleum and the white house and the global warming advocates here on capitol hill and at the white house have been. there is apparently a very cozy relationship, which obviously, made it difficult for him to condemn b.p. because they are the oil company that was jumping out there saying we support this global warmin

goldman saction has a financial interest in it, al gore, franklin rains bought four different patents to be used. so that the money can be redistributed to the emerald cities. which is a joe rogers organization. now, i know this sounds conconspiracyy. host: in the interest of time, if you had a specific question. caller: isn't it very interesting that people are begging to help out down there and they get absolutely no response? guest: it's very similar to the exxon valdez where the state officials were on top aad really angry and wanted action fast and the federal officials and the oil industry took a long time to get ramped up and to deal with that. but one of the problems that you have to recognize is that there's this crisis situation down there. they're not prepared. they've got to find offices, they've got to get set up. and then you've got all these inventors, some of them probably have good ideas, most whom have crazy ideas. the time to sift through the inventions was before the oil spill happened. once you're in the middle of a crisis, you can't take the time to decide, figur

the last -- al gore has an opinion piece in "the wall street journal," along with david blood. if you get on any political website today, you will find a story about a former vice president that he is surely not pleased. it is virtually everywhere. oregon investigated sex accusation against gore. this was broken apparently by "the national enquirer" about 24 hours ago but it is now all over the political news cycle. let us go back to calls. we are talking to you about president obama's decision yesterday to accept the resignation of general much -- general mcchrystal and put david petreaus in charge of afghanistan. harold is on our republican line. caller: how are you doing? host: what are your thoughts on this decision? caller: i am an army reservist, commissioned officer. what needs to be known here is as a commissioned officer for the united states military, we take an oath to protect and defend the constitution of the united states, which is a living document, and to obey and support our president. what the general did was -- it was insubordinate and it was disrespectful, a

talk about the speed at which of or should get out of dick cheney's house, but these were people -- al gored get out of dick cheney's house, but these were peoole who told me they have not done this before. these were people who were able to get on-line and organize. i do think that is even more important than economics. something like a tea party movement and the economy not been as bad. the polls tell us 40% of americans are conservative, so the subset of that has been hard to add -- to activate, except on a social issues like immigration, where passions are very high. until to the of nine to get people to organize, but they found the tools. -- until 2009, it was hard to get people to organize, but they found the tools. people now who feel like they can buy and to something spend time and donate online or show up to something, get involved, they can shift the debate. right now it is conservative. if we had this panel two years ago it would have been why republicans are hopeless. three years from now it could be why these are such a problem. taking the long view, it is so much easier to or
