what happened in south carolina? gingrich had the moment and those two debates, juan williams moment and john king. then he had a 30-point swing from 20 behind to 10 ahead. in the florida debates he was flat. he was on the defensive. romney was on attack, santorum was strong and that swung him all the way back. it's remarkable how much the debates are a factor and the money advantage had the same advantage in south carolina, it had to do with the moments the gingrich campaign, it was revived on the debate and now it's on debate. but because he doesn't have the debate until the 22nd of february, he is going to be out there for a while. >> sean: i totally agree with that natural si. you add the money, money was a factor and advantage for romney in south carolina. what is fascinating, too, you have been following politics for a long time. what is amazing is the turnaround, south carolina, a double-digit deficit into a double deficit win. same thing for romney in florida. he was back against the wall that gingrich had an

in south carolina, he was red meat.e comes to florida and he didn't have the softball opportunity and romney came out swinging. >> sean: romney and romney saw what happened in south carolina and romney went to work. romney prepared for those debates. he went after newt gingrich in very aggressive way, in a way he knew he had to step up. >>> he took gingrich off his game. up to that point he had not gone negative. gingrich was singing kumbayah and it all caged. >> one thing, it was compressed schedule between new hampshire and south carolina. so the debates which were right at the bookend two of them, they had much greater impact on much smaller state. had you two debates in smaller period of time. >> i don't think it had the kind of potential to be a game changer in florida which is really five states when you think about it. >> sean: here is what happened, we keep hearing the romney campaign spent a lot in debate prep. they hired a debate coach. newt gingrich i think he did the interview to michael barone he said his p

a lot of credit has to go to the north carolina defense. they have the size inside that they can do that with. henson and zeller controlling the middle it is hard to give a pump fake and drive by and get all the way to the basket. >> tim: just under 2:00 remaining. the way the game is played out the last five minutes of the first half. do you think north carolina would be up 15 by now. curry steps in three. yes and just like that 82-78. the dukes won't go away. 10-3 this run over the last 3 and change. >> dan: now you have to find barnes or zeller if you are north carolina. >> tim: barnes on the way to the rack. offensive foul. it will go the other way. >> dan: this is a play where duke looks offbalance and curry fortunate he didn't walk. kelly is just outside that restricted area. >> tim: a brilliant defensive play on his part. rivers. kelly takes one. just off the back iron. gets his own rebound. it's down to two. 82- 82-80 with 1:06 left. here we go again. zeller back in the game and he has it right where he wants it. >> dan: that's a go

this one is in sumter, south carolina. >> oh, that's your birth certificate? >> reporter: amanda wolf has been waiting over six months to get the proper papers so she can finally get a photo id. >> i was adopted in georgia, and my name was different on my birth certificate, and plus my birth mother and birth father was on the birth certificate, so we had to go to vital check, and with vital check you have to have a major credit card, which i don't have. >> reporter: and so it went, on and on. amanda had a student photo id when she lived in florida and used it to vote when she moved here, but not anymore, not under the state's controversial new voter id law that was fashioned after an indiana law the supreme court upheld in 2008. state senator chip campsen sponsored the south carolina law. >> and the court has concluded that whatever those hurdles you have to clear to get the id necessary to vote. >> reporter: is worth it. >> it is worth it, that is correct. >> reporter: it is those hurdles, critics say, that will keep some eligible people who lack the proper i

carolina, duke, wake forest. in most respects the foot wall program at these colleges looks and feels and walks a lot like a professional team. and actually when they are tossed out on espn, they are actually, the teams are actually treated as a franchise in the same way the 49'ers are. so why did i get into the subject and how do i look upon it? well, a little bit of autobiography. i had my favorite team. my team was georgia tech. i grew up in atlanta and i had the good fortune to go to a few games, and watch them play against the likes of duke and alabama. and so i was interested in that and when i was in high school i was the sports editor of my high school newspaper but then that was it. i was just a normal red loaded american kid with a sports interest and i went off to graduate school and studied economics and then i began work at the university of maryland, which is a heat research university in college park, maryland. one of the things that surprised me the most about eating their was i knew i was going t

as follows -- this is south carolina's article. no person held to service or labor in one state under the laws thereof escaping to another shall consequence of any law or regulation therein be discharged from service or labor be discovered upon claim of the party to whom such service/labor may be due. they go on to say that -- they say if that provision -- as a matter of fact, let me finish the next sentence. this stipulation was so material material to the compact. they're talking about the compact that form this is nation. that without it, that compact would not have been made. the greater number of the contracting party is at the time hell slaves. they previously in missed the events as a stipulation by making a condition in ordinance of government of this territory creeded by virginia which now composed the states north of the ohio river. now, they go on to talk about -- they name these states, by the way, that are violating this -- that are violating the fugitive slave act which will not allow them to go into their territory t

early on we said that north carolina was going to be a challenge. we recognized that north carolina was going to be a challenge because republicans own the whole deal in north carolina on redistricting and we knew that they were going to produce maps that were going to be challenge which is why it was so important for us to make sure that we had fair and competitive processes, that gave us a pretty good wind at our backs in illinois, in california, in dks and florida. the bottom line is this, early on the republicans -- about a year ago they went to the highest mountain they could find with the biggest bull horn and said they were going to wipe us off the map with redistricting. they were claiming pickups of 15 to 20 seats. now even republicans are saying it's going to be a wash. factoring in north carolina, factoring in other areas that are more challenging environments, factoring all that in, it's still going to be a wash, the house is still in play, it's going to be razor close. >> the florida map seems to be reaching a compromise down there. we'

this was south carolina's article of secession. no persons held to service or labor in one state under the laws thereof escaping to another shall in consequence of any law or regulation be charged from service of labor but shall be delivered upon claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due. and then they go on to say that -- they said if that provision -- as a matter of fact, let me finish the next sentence. this stipulation was so material to the compact -- now they're talking about the compact that forms this nation, that without it that compact would not have been made. the greater number of the contracting parties and they had previously in their estimate of the value of such of the stipulation of making the condition in the government of this territory seceded by virginia, which now composes the state north of the ohio river. now they go on to talk about they name these states, be y th way that are violating the slave act, which is not allowing them to go into their territories to collect their slaves when thei

in north carolina. some folks who did not run again who lost last time. folks from the coalition say that they are concerned about going back on the ballot and having those run against them with nancy pelosi the villain of the ads. they do not want to share the ballot with her again. what is your thought on that? has it been difficult for you to get these folks to stay on the ballot? guest: i have to responses in alphabetical order. medicare, medicare, medicare. this election is going to be about who members of congress were for. this is going to be a contrast. the issue of the vatican's nancy pelosi are irrelevant when you have to stand up in a town meeting and defend your constituents why you voted to end medicare for seniors to fund tax breaks for big oil companies. in north carolina -- i am a realist. we will not win this on optimism. north carolina was a challenge for us in redistricting. we knew that. and we more than compensated for that in places like illinois, california. we think we we don't -

he has in the public mind won everything but south carolina.forget, rick santorum won iowa but right now newt gingrich is flailing away without a meaningful argument. >> he did say if this is going to go on for another six to eight months with typical newt irony he says unless romney drops out first. >> you have got to love the guy's bravado. he is like a cat with nine lives, comes bouncing back, different incarnation, a slightly different look and kradzier ideas each time arguably but the public will respect thatcrazier ideas each time arguably but the public will respect that but he isn't looking presidential. look at the different feel. newt gingrich is done. >> speaking of not looking presidential, this is newt gingrich last evening going after mitt romney. i mean the question is whether or not this really sells with voters and the newt that we have seen in the last week particularly getting more and more desperate. here is a quick clip: >> every time we nominate a moderate, we lose. you know. so 1996, we nominated a moderate. bill clinton

they were make up their minds well before south carolina.%over the voters here in florida decided in the last few days, and in south carolina where newt gingrich won, 55% decided in the last few days. two out of the three republican voters said the debates were important. and that was very significant to the romney campaign because he was convinced he turned in a very strong debate performance and newt gingrich was something off of his game. the other issue which is so important for the romney campaign as they try to spin the victory, 45% of the voters said the electability was the number one issue for them in this race. and they had hammered newt gingrich suggesting he was too much of a lightning rod the voters decided romney is more electable in a general election and that's why they gave mitt romney the victory today. also the indicators by those who voted from absentee or voted early. there were 605,000 votes cast before the polls opened today. and of those 51% said they voted for mitt romney, 29 for newt. which is a bigger spread than i

no, not clinton, south carolina, dillon, south carolina, south of the border. [ laughter ] supposedly it was his first job. ted turner. and newt gingrich. and that's -- i don't know if that's a stretch or not, whether he was -- is or should be a southerner. because he was born in pennsylvania i think. just because he represented georgia and taught at west georgia. well, anyway. "time" has tended until very recent years to be a very conservative, very loose, lucite publication you might say tending towards republicans and consensus sorts of people. chiang kai-shek made man of the year in 1937, madam chian made the team. mao tse-tung never made person of the year. when "time" decided to acknowledge the american woman in 1975, they had some significant people, billie jean king and others, but they somehow in their list of folks on the cover or pictures of people on the cover overlooked betty fredan and gloria steinem. this is a pretty establishment, up east sort of people. and so i wonder about nominating someone. the person i'm going to nominate, however, achieved probably the first thi

newt gingrich finished fourth in iowa, fifth in new hampshire, and he won south carolina. i mean, that is unheard of, unprecedented and partly he was able to do it because of sheldon ed son and, the individuals can give as much as they want, and are into the money like it has never been before in american politics. >> before mitt romney came under some sort of assault he was turning all of his firepower on barack obama, is that what we are going to see happening now that he feels, if he feels he dispatched newt gingrich? >> yes and i think you will be able to tell when he is completely confident, that he has won the nomination when he stops using the line he is a european socialist, and goes back to the line, he is a good guy who is over his head. that is the real general election message, but right now he is hitting the more ideological, he is a socialist and a european. >> yes. i mean, when he uses the president's name and sol lewinsky in the same paragraph it is a good indication that he is talking not to the nation, he is talking to republican primary voters and the pa

post-1990 redistricting, and it is worth saying, you know, the 1990 census came out, north carolina began its redistricting, the case went to the supreme court once early on, on partisan redistricting in a case called pope bleagainst blue where the supreme court summarily affirmed the dismissal of the complaint and we'll talk more in a moment about partisan gerrymandering, and it went up to the supreme court shaw against reno and went back to the supreme court again, went back to the supreme court a third time and finally in april of 2001, just as the census numbers from the 2011 census were being handed to the states, the supreme court finally signed off on the 1990 round of redistricting. but the result of that is that most of the legislative districts that are being drawn for african-american communities today are districts that were there already, and they're simply being preserved and therefore you can always explain those districts as simply preservation of existing districts or protection of incumbents, and so shaw claims i think there are going to be very shaw claims involvi

it's going to move into northern georgia, through the carolinas. off the coast of north carolina. the important issue here is we don't know exactly where that path is going to end up. if it's a little closer to virginia, rather than down across the southern north carolina, we'll be in more more precipitation and that will be more snow, heavier precipitation, up able to drag down some cold air. we will see some accumulating snow. but if it hugs the coast of south carolina, we may not see much of anything at all. right now 50/50 chance we'll either get some accumulating snow. early on sunday, we'll have a much better feel. for the time being clear skies to our north and a few showers. that is not going to affect us locally. but it may affect northern areas. this cold front with colder air if the cold air can get in place and the moisture moving up into that cold air, theirs will be safe. the accumulating snow, maybe one to 3-inches across the region with more of the south. portions of virginia already in a winter storm watch. some areas could see five to 6- inches possibly. south wi
