the justices campaigned for campbell and it was unsuccessful.the president considered no other candidates and the senate approved the nomination. although person at -- personally opposed to seceesion, campbell resigned from the court in 1861 and became assistant secretary of war for the confederacy. president lincoln and kept his own counsel when filling supreme court vacancies, but his first appointment came highly recommended by retiring justice. income and steven field named chase as chief justice in 1864. during president grants administration, two members of the supreme court made it recommendations for filling up pair of vacancies in 1870. justice robert greer had retired in 1871 ... made his services no longer feasible. the vote -- in 1871 when illness made his services no longer feasible. the hayes presidency indicates another instance of a supreme court nominations suggested by a member of the bridge. when justice strong departed, it was recommended that william woods replace him. stanley matthews, haye's' classmate had been at supporte

barbara boxer over tom campbell. >> it looked like tom campbell was going to make it through.hey would have been the toughest challenge to barbara boxer. he is pro-choice and a moderate republican. boxer has never face that type of candidates. she has never faced a woman. fiorina is a stellar campaigner. she has put up $5 million of her own money. look for some of the same parallels. democrats will paint her as a failed ceo from hewlett-packard, somebody who laid off more than 20,000 workers. somebody who got a golden parachute from that company and lives at lavish lifestyle. both of these women will be attacked with the corporate life style of a political outsider vs. corporate malfeasance. that will be the theme going forward. >> let's look at the latest numbers. 58% going to fiorini. campbell with about 23%. these are early numbers. it is going on 11:00 in california. >> that is right. >> it is about quarter to one in the east. as you go back to the governor's race between jerry brown and maggot whitman, one issue that jerry brown will say is that -- meg whitman, one issue

campbell brown announcing she's leaving. the stories about larry king not pulling in the numbers he did before. that's the immediate issue i guess, right? is deal ing with that prime time programming. >> you know, it's interesting. so far this year the networks' prime time ratings are off by 40% which is really dramatic especially compared to that of its competitors. the challenge for cnn was really underscored when campbell brown asked to be released from her contract. she released really a remarkable statement saying plainly not enough people are interested in the show that i'm putting on. i think that kind of summed up the challenge cnn faces. it still has that brand and that identity of the place that people turn to for breaking news. but when that news subsides it doesn't offer the kind of really polarizing opinionated provocative host that you can find on fox news and ms-nbc in prime time. the question they're wrestling with right now internally is what do they do? they are not going to abandon that dedication to, as t

governor campbell said those are not the kinds of jobs we want to be known for. we are concentrating on these children in school yet making money on gambling which does not lead to much and causes problems. education is so important. i would have fought the superintendent of education. i would make a state board of education advisory. that is where the answer is. >> the next question is directed to andre bauer. >> this question also comes from the boys of the voter project. they want to know if south carolina is faced the same immigration issues that arizona is dealing with, as governor, how would you work with congress to deal with it? >> we have to address the real problem. nobody wants to talk about it. just illegal immigration problems. we deal with the fact that there are jobs that americans no longer want to do. let's call a spade a spade. there are people at they get so much money from the government that they will not do certain jobs, picking peaches, working in a hotel. nobody waats to talk about that. whether you want to agree with that or not, that is

chalk devore --vhuck devore and tom campbell. worked hard for the privilege of this office and i salute them for their determined work to change the course of america and i look very much forward to their help and support in the common cause we now share. [applause] and congratulations as well to my good friend and colleague, meg whitman. [applause] california will now be offered two candidates at the top of our ticket who have actually created jobs and cut costs and we look for taking on the two career politicians on the other side. [applause] the team work that has brought us here can end here tonight. and so as we celebrate, and it looks like you have been having a heck of a party celebrating -- [applause] let us remember that beginning tomorrow and through november 2, we will run a tireless, appear less campaign all across california to finally on seat barbara boxer. --unseat barbara boxer. [applause] [chanting] [beat barbara boxer] >> in her 20 years, she is a bitter partisan who has said much but accomplished little. to mak

governor campbell had a right. is the kind of good job -- it is not the kind of good job that we want to be known for. if we were making money out of gambling, it causes a whole lot of problems. back to that previous question, because education is so important. how would make the state board of education advisory and i will work every day to see that children are educated in the state because that is where the answer is. that is where the future is. >> the next question is directed to lieutenant governor-elect the -- lt. gov. andre bauer. >> jonathan shelton was an of south carolina is faced with the same issues that arizona had, as governor, how would you work with congress to do with that issue? >> we've got to address the root problem. nobody wants to talk about it. they talk about it as if it is just illegal immigration. we deal with the fact that there are jobs out there that americans no longer want to do. let's call a spade a spade. time and time again, people get so much from the government that they will n

>> i think governor campbell did superior job. they did things the string -- the same way.here were strong leaders. they kept mostf the debate behind the scenes. l of those kinds of things were behind the scenes. i think they recognize that an effective leader is one that has to get things done. you haveo stick to your conservative principle. i am not blaming anybody but the sanford years haveaught us that you have to work with people in order to get thgs done. i have been getting things done for eight years. >> we have another question from the voice of the voter project. each candidate has one minute to answer. this comes from richard gregory. he wants to know how much funding will you give to the interstate 73 project to help the economies of northeastern south carolina at diversify and get better? thank you for that question. >> i would say this, we need to look at where we are getting funding from. we should l the private sector run rest areas. find new ways to cree revenue without asking the taxpayers. we can come up with creative ways to have revenue. myrtle beach is

but tom campbell, former u.s. representative, he ran for the senate against dianne feinstein, the of the democratic senator for california back in 2000. conservative on fiscal issues but more moderate on social issues. he had been running for governor. well, the governor's race got to be this huge big spending affair between a couple of very wealthy candidates and he felt like he could not compete there and switched over to the senate race. now carly fiorina is positioned between a moderate candidate and a conservative candidate. what she has done, appealed very strongly to the conservative base, which is pretty much the majority of almost every state republican primary, and it looks like she has boxed out devore on the issue and it has become a race between campbell and fiorina. it will be interesting to see what the impact of that is, the republican gubernatorial primary. meg whitman, the former ebay ceo, and the state insurance commissioner. host: one more question about the senate race. president obama went ou

don't forget, campbell brown's -- don't forget soledad o'brien's special at this time tomorrow evening. "larry king live" starts right now. thanks for joining us. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >> larry: tonight, disgraced general stanley mcchrystal, the man running the war in afghanistan, is abruptly fired by president obama. >> today i accepted general stanley mcchrystal's resignation as commander of the international security assistance force in afghanistan. >> the journalist who brought him down is here for his first on-camera interview. who gave him access to a four-star commander in the middle of a war? did mcchrystal forget he was talking to a reporter? did the journalist know that his bombshell story was going to blow a military career? next on "larry king live." >> larry: good evening. michael hastings is a contributor to "rolling stone" magazine. he's author of the article the runaway general. that article will be out on the magazine stands friday. it led to general mcchrystal's resignation. he's also written "i lost my love in baghdad." this is his first on-camera int

tom campbell former house member who is her leading opponent is conservative on economic issues but moderateon social issues. and there was a recent poll that showed that he was running stronger against barbara boxer in november than carlee fiorina wood. carly has worked very hard and very aggressively to corral the conservative vote in a primary where conservatives are dominant. she's got the sport of sarah palin, for example. it looks as though she is going to win. but the question is whether someone with that profile can win statewide in california. it has been two decades since californias have elected swb somebody who is pro-life and pro gun, anti-gun control, in the way that she is. so this will be a very interesting test if she survives the fight tomorrow. >> woodruff: and amy, pick up on that and then bring in the governor's race where you have meg whitman the former ceo, founder of ebay. >> picking up on dan's point, which i think they are all very important. the question really for carly fiorina is one whether she can tack back to the center after move together right in the primary

knocked off two huge names in south carolina politics facing, one, the son of a former governor in campbell, and the son of son of a former governor and u.s. senator in strom thurmond. >> woodruff: amy walter, what are the prospects of both of these candidates in november? >> they're very good. south carolina has-- it's been a while,-- but the last time they had a democratic governor was in 2002. i think that the question for nikki haley and the problem for nikki haley, of course, is you're looking forward. people are already projecting on to her what, is she going to be in 2012? what is she going to be in 2011? is she going to be the face of the republican party? we've already heard her mention could she be a vice presidential pick? will she be the keynote speaker at the 2012 republican convention. she has to be very careful, take it one step at a time and not look like she's already going for the next big job and focus on what she needs to focus on, which is the state of south carolina. >> woodruff: adolphus belk, we are watching here the thread of the story that has to do with rejecting

there are 160 different kinds of campbell's soup. even if i want vanilla i can still go to a store that oftens me 31 opportunities to pick something else. the entire right of everyone today in the business world is one that deals with giving people choices and options. whether it's telephone plans or kinds of cereal to buy, i have all sorts of options and choices in front of me. the business world has recognized that if they want business from me, they have to give me choice and option. everywhere in our life today we get choices and options. when i was a kid and i heard a song i liked i had to go to the store and buy the entire vinyl record. and then put it on and hope i could drop the needle in the correct groove without destroying the record. i don't need to do that anymore. today my kids have give be me an ipod which means if i hear a song i like, all i now have to do is call up one of my kids and say, come over and put it on my ipod because i don't know how to work the stupid thing. but i still have a choice. even in the new wor

so i think he campbell this extremely well in a very difficult situation. where hamas is concerned, indeed, there was an election. you are correct about that. but, in fact, hamas has a really oprah's the people of gaza of -- really will pressed the people of gaza. it is a sponsor of terrorism. they certainly don't believe in the security and survival of israel, which is crucial to the united states and our security in the middle east. so, hamas is not a positive factor in this process. it and we all, i think, share the great concern that the hon mandatary in -- that the humanitarian needs of the people in gaza and the white house expressed the ongoing needs -- need to meet the needs of those people. host: let me begin by asking you about the diplomatic relationship between turkey and israel prior to this weekend. guest: prior to this weekend, turkey and israel had probably the strongest relationship of a muslim country to israel that existed in the united -- than the nine it states. in the last few months there has been tension as turkey tries to come onto

think it gives her a lot of momentum because there were poles that shows the race tightening, tom campbell, a former congressman, much more moderate, i think, republican in that race, closing in the polls. but fiorina won so decisively. but she goes into this general election with a little bit of momentum. but california, such a democratii state, that i think most people in washington, most democrats in washington are still confident boxer has the edge. host: let us go to our viewers. bulletin, california. helen on the republican line. caller: i went to meg whitman's rally last week. i'm not surprised she won. she has a very charming personality, pleasant appearance and she knows how to charmed the audience. but one thing i noticed when i was there at the rally, noticing more of the people who attended, and most of them were older, even elderly white conservatives. it seemed like conservative americans, californians. when she was talking about certain issues, naturally it is cloud either cheered loudly or did not have much of a response -- naturally the crowd cheered loudly or no response

campbell switched from the governor's race earlier this year -- chuck devore is running is the true conservativebut has gained a little traction. the "new york times" profiles carly fiorina -- can the controversial former ceo become the next republican senator from california? california also has a governor race. according to the washington post, it is between meg whitman. it is then of roller-coaster ride. she began as an unknown but quickly changed that by expanding tens of millions of dollars on her campaign. that money paid for advertisements making the case that putting a boston -- businesswomen in the office is the only solution to their fiscal problems. then came the attack ads that painted her as a liberal on immigration. let's go to texas where canada is on our democrats line. on our- where anna is democrats lines. caller: what motivates me to vote? the fact that i lost two nephews in iraq and who will be going to afghanistan. i feel like if you have a criminal -- if you have a criminal mind, especially minorities when you do not get out and vote when you have the right to vote. if we d
