part of what i am going to talk about is from the arnold schwarzenegger example.he john mccain campaign may have the worst reputation compared to the obama votes. some of that was funding, some just the regular challenges our campaign had that was more global. it was not specific tactical things. i have some good examples from john mccain about why early votes helped us make different decisions or inform us on things we did that may not be logical. but why we made the decisions we did. had the tides changed the way we hoped it would work to our advantage. i want to tell you what the tactical things are that you can do that will work for you. 40% of the vote will happen before election day. almost half of the people are voting before election day, this will impact how you deliver your message, whether you put something in someone's mailbox for a volunteer tries to contact them or you put radio commercials up, all those things. if you underperform, you can lose an election on the margin. one of the things the bush campaign is famous for is turning known supporters i

arnold schwarzenegger says if it were done in sacramento, it would be.th carolina, it would probably not be. i say probably. the law is unclear but it could be if it took place in south carolina. it is undecided whether it would be or is not. our law is fairly specific on a person who was bribe receiving something of value. i cannot predict how the courts would react if this had taken place in south carolina and there were allegations that he is getting something from nebraska. is this getting something for himself? there have been instances where people in south carolina have suggested that if you will vote for this particular piece of legislation, we will send money to your campaign account. is that a bribe? probably so, probably not, we don't know. it's as if you will vote for a piece of legislation, we'll give you $1,000 brick we know that as a bribe. people went to jail in the early 1990's in a federal prosecution. a lot of that was less than $1,000 and that is why we have laws that are very strict on desperate in south carolina, would this be a sta

five or six years ago when arnold schwarzenegger took over and he was going to break up all the boxes, which didn't happen, he tried some initiatives as well and they went down to a crushing defeat and maybe you'll comment why they lost and why these initiatives may pass this time. >> i mean, the unions just spent enormous amounts and they -- of course, they pulled out the old kinard claiming all these things, pension reforms would endanger police officers and there isn't seem to be enough money to fight it. i don't know what kind of money is being raised. something has to be done to break the power of the unions. so i think maybe the paycheck protection could do that by making it harder for them to raise the money. now, mark -- i've talked to mark before about the problems he had last time he had a paycheck protection initiative. the unions pulled out all the stops. so it's a tough campaign. i think that's key is somehow addressing the power that the unions have to raise money. >> the second question is, you know, the states upside down maybe $15 million a year or maybe in that neigh

it is something that, for example, california governor arnold schwarzenegger has made one of his top. there is no question that this is a real and urgent issue, in this and many other countries. for example, in india, where a lot of their water comes from the himalayas and various have got no rain. host: with health care, which saw the target date for getting something to the president's best has moved us to the president's desk has moved -- has moved to the president's desk -- is there a similar time line? has he said to the senate that i need to have this on my desk by a particular date and time? guest: harry reid has said he hopes to have legislation on his desk in the spring, with the idea of finalizing it by the summer. it puts a lawmakers in a bus precarious position. this is a timeline that has already -- in a less precarious position. host: next up is new mexico, marty on our line for republicans six o. caller: yes, my name is marty. i would like to say on this global warming, i do not know if you guys are familiar with the slingshot effect, but scientists do not ever talk ab
