that does not make him unique, or even particularly unusual, but i also think the altman question that will be asked is -- that ultimately will be asked is, are you telling me the court is the only thing that is the separation between the two parties? host: we are doing a 14-week series looking at presidential candidates, those who ran and lost, but changed political history anyway. our guest, richard norton, has been a part of several of those. we will be looking at george wallace coming up tomorrow. why should people watch? guest: george wallace is one of the more important third party figures. he was governor of alabama, but living emblem of fire breeding resistance to racial integration. and by 1968, someone who pulled a large percentage of not just in the south, but areas in the north that peeled away as part of the new deal coalition. and then as voters, became up for grabs. it was argued that richard nixon's emphasis with its -- richard nixon's presidency was trying to poach on wallis's preserve, and quite successfully. host: george wallace, 8:00 p.m. on friday night. and before

altman is a big issues that were debated. host: this from "the wall street journal." host: next to that is this chart -- the real driver in the deficit. for our radio audience are will explain you're looking at a health-care spending curve that is going uphill, and then the discretionary spending, defense and nondefense, is holding flat. clearly health care is driving the deficit. guest: healthcare has been a major driver of the deficit for a while. so has social security, but health care in particular. the idea behind the health care law that was enacted a couple of years ago, was to try to drive down the cost of health care. many of the provisions have not yet kicked in. the hope is that once they do the line will decurved downward. host: "the washington post" -- the debt reduction can has been kicked down the road turned from one of our viewers -- road. from one of our viewers -- de gop state agenda has been to remove obama from office. caller: i am a retired military pilot, 28 years in the air force. my retirement along with all the other of millions of retirees c
