i ran away from philadelphia to fort lauderdale when i was 15, and gave birth to my oldest daughter and was labeled a habitual runaway by judge mark speiser. over the next years, i struggled with my addiction, giving birth to a son and another daughter. finally, in my late thirties, i ended up homeless, living under bridges, and i finally started going to jail. it was jail that actually saved my life, because that is where i met broward county drug court judge marcia beach, who loved me, and so i could love myself. she placed me in the sheriff's 90-day in-custody treatment program. the time there helped save my life. the last 30 days of the 90 days i did something i had never done before in my entire life. i made a plan. today, i'm an intern for intherooms.com. we are the world's largest recovery web site with over 260,000 people worldwide, sharing their experience, strength, and hope with each other, and it's powerful. today, i'd like to tell you that i'm an asset, not a liability. today, i'm a face and voice in and of recovery, and thank you for having me.

from fort lauderdale -- hi, neil. you are on "the contenders." >> first of all, a commentary and then a question. your forum is incredibly stimulating. i don't have the credentials you do. i fancy myself an armchair historian. as far as mr. smith is concerned, the catholicism should not enter into the picture. he was clearly a proponent of the middle-class and pro-labor. genuinely a well intended individual. i am wondering that if today, if we had a candidate running for the president of the united states, what candidate would mr. smith's mindset be able to pull off? despite that, thank you so much. i enjoy watching. >> beverly gage. >> i think that is an interesting question. smith goes through a very weird political transition in the 1930's. after he lost the election, he does slip on a lot of what he stood for up to that point. i know we will get to talking about that a little later in the show. he was a populist of sorts. he is not an absolute populist. he was certainly not a william jennings bryan populist. if an

frank is from fort lauderdale, florida. caller: i write a book reviews for an on-line publication. i go to some shows in washington, d.c., to see what different authors think about different issues. the general feeling i get is that barack obama is pretty far to the left compared to, say, harry truman. that has been a book that came out about george tenet -- i think on foreign policy, the democrats have drifted, like i said, pretty far to the left. i did not want to repeat myself. host: what does it mean to you when it comes to the level of a busy as some about president obama's re-election bid? caller: as far as democrats that i like right now, my favorite in the party is probably jim webb, senator from virginia, he helped secure veterans benefits quite a bit. clare mccaskill, a number of other different people. i think i would like to see obama probably move in the direction of the more moderate democrats. i think that would be my best answer to that particular question. host: let's look -- answered, thank you, daryl. let us look at what's aaron says on facebook -- let's hear wha

host: mark, republican in fort lauderdale, florida. you are on the phone with congressman walz. caller: hello, congressman. guest: hi. caller: let me start by thanking you for your point of view here. i'm a republican. i'm clearly from the other side of the political aisle. at least i appear to be. but your point of view here, i think, is spot on. there are certain issues that transcend all our partisanship and trust in congress right now is clearly one of them. and my original question was going to be, why can't we do the blind trust approach? that's been asked and answered. but let me ask a broader question. how is it that congress exempts itself from so many laws that we as citizens and business owners have to abide by? and i think of the obamacare plan that i believe congress was going to be exempted from, i think of -- i understand labor laws, eeoc laws, we have the insider trieder here. shouldn't it be the case -- insider trading here. shouldn't it be the case that congressmen are supposed to be the citizen representatives of our nation? guest: mark, i absolutely agree. i
