colman believes was another important figure out a south ofh carolina politics, a very influential figure and thirdly strom thurmond would tell the story about when people asked him how did you get involved in politics, when did you want to -- when did you know you wanted to be a politician? i saw that race between ira jones and kohl believes and i thought he -- saw what he did and always felt that i would learn how to speak on the stump and the will to defend myself. thurmond was never known for his skill on the stump as a speaker but that is the way he remembered it. that is the way he eyes told the story and he told it over and over when reporters asked him that question. i think some of thurmond's others had missed what is important and what is interesting about that story. strom thurmond recalled the debate between them as his first lesson in political self-defense and the importance of being skilled in the old verbal warfare of the south. it was always matched by his math power with the masses. in 1912, at age nine, thurmond encountered up close and impressionable age the power of t

are coming out of so groups like the american action network which is run by former senator norm colman and american crossroads a super pac run by karl rove and it's a 501(c)(4) and they have much more money than the super pacs. we have no idea who the donors aren't we are not even going to see those when they file their tax returns for another year a half. the election will be long over before we have any idea how much money they have and even then we will never know who put in all that money. just because we don't know doesn't mean the people who benefited from all those donations won't. politicians, most of the corporations, will get money like that and the large donors will give money to groups like that. they are expecting a return on their investments are just because we don't know doesn't mean they're not expecting gratitude and they are going to make darn should the people benefit from their contributions know exactly who they gave two and to and we have no idea what those people in turn if they win will be doing for that money and will never field was tie those things together
