dan haley is here now to tell us how he did, how he was received. what did you think? >> he was received really well. no boos, no banners. wasn't quite as exciting, i think, because he didn't play a ton, but he was back out there. he entered the playn a second play and was used sparingly and lined up quarterback and receiver playing a total of six plays after 18 months in prison, more than two years away from the game. the eagles really easing vick back into action. michael vick said he was not going to be nervous for this game. and he didn't look very nervous. head coach andy reed did not make him wait long. on the second play of the game, vick enters the game. you can see it looked like almost a standing ovation from the crowd. in the shotgun he pitches, a little shovel pass with sean mccoy. that's a four-yard gain. he was 4 for 4 for 19 yards in the game. vick ran once for a 1-yard gain. thiss probably his best pass right here. looking like michael vick of old. let's go to michael vick live now at the podium. >> how many snaps a game do you envision you might take p

let me go back to the initial point which was what haley barbour said. according to him, most of the people who won the were part of the american revolution in 1994 signed on after the '93 victories. that is late to get into the game. that is only one year out. whether it is right or wrong, these people -- if someone runs for office, they are putting their life on the line put. it is a very serious undertaking and some of these folks have a lot to lose. anything that can inspire them to think that this is a good year and that they are not wasting their time, i think is very important. there is only 640,000 people in north dakota, but they have to u.s. senators and both of them are democrats. even though there is a republican governor and republicans dominate the state legislature and the boy republican attorney general, everything is republican, but their entire federal delegation are democrats. the governor of that state has toyed with the idea of running for u.s. senate and he could win if he gets in the race. i think that if he saw republicans winning

recently i heard haley barbour, who is chairman of the rnc in the 1990's. he said that when christie todd whitman won in 1993, most of the candidates who won in 1994 signed on, they were recruited after christie todd whitman and george allen won. that is amazing. not only is a victory in 2009 a harbinger of things to come, it literally will encourage top tier candidates to run your sitting on the fence that they can win in 2010. it is not just have psychological value. it has a tangible, real value that winning this year will encourage the top tier republicans who have been sitting out, because nobody wants to lose, to actually get in the race. i think republicans win in virginia. i am optimistic about new jersey, except for the fact that they could just replace the candidate two weeks out and put in somebody else. you can never predict what happens in new jersey. it is impossible to predict what will happen there, but it is looking good in virginia. i wrote something on the other day where i went back and looked at george stephanopoulos'book and i looked a

. >> i am haley from cincinnati. i don't know if you have listened to maddie, but it is urban and the verse. i think president obama went there because it is racially diverse and a lot of minorities feel like the conservative party is the white people. it's a big deal in ohio. what would you say to us to tell people who deale we are a white man's party? >> arm yourselves with the facts first. that starts with being able to point out to people a little bit about the history of the republican party and how so many blacks and minorities went to the democratic party. they collected the credit for passage of the civil rights act of 1964. in fact, it took republicans and democrats to pass the civil rights act of 1964 off as well as the voting rights act of 1965. the republicans did a terrible job of getting their fair share of credit for making that happen. i always go back to how the republican party got started. a lot of people don't know about it. especially minorities. abraham lincoln said i cannot get these silly way

and now we are hearing from him that he had started up a relationship in may with this young woman, haley glassman, 22 years old. were you shocked at that revelation. >> i was shocked, but it -- those things, to be very honest, that's his life, they don't affect me directly at this point. >> but it's got to be hurtful. >> well, it is hurtful. >> reporter: while the tlc reality show warps into jon without kate, television is bringing back another on cure figure with a whole bunch of kids -- fox broadcasting will air a two-hour prime time special this week on nadya suleman, better known as octomom. fox says it will chronicle the emotional struggles, physical complications and financial burdens of this single mother of 14. so why do the media keep turning these sad character near celebrities? should the rest of us care? joining us, lisa bloom, former anchor for "in session" now a legal analyst for cnn. in washington, david zurwick, tv critic for "the baltimore sun" and lola okanoki. lisa bloom, kate's husband fooled around. they split up, now she's on "the today show." i thought they could h

more research we did and events haley has been an extraordinary asset as our research director and has helped put together a really wonderful research in this topic, the more we did in the more appalling the modern courts were, the more arrogant, the more radical, the more ant religious bigotry there was as you look at the fax from american history. as late as john f. kennedy you have a president who says our rights come from god. blatt, explicit. how can a court during the kennedy administration a rule the school prayer is unconstitutional and our rights come fromod? and so rediscovering god in america was written as a historic and take it as a gded tour. you can walk around the city. i think the people talk about a wall of separation haven't totally wrong. there is an active effort by atheists and sector rest to build a wall of separation between the historic america that has been here for 400 years and a radical secular society they want to build and use the courts as their instruments and it is profoundly wrong. i believe we're going to have a political explosion in the next decade

if you look at malcolm x, the maex haley book, the autobiography of malcolm x, it is in most curriculumsa high-school kids read it all the time. malcolm x is celebrated in that regard, malcolm x boulevard. i think people are aware of malcolm x, i don't think there's any shortage of that and spike lee made a movie about malcolm x, denzel washington started a movie about malcolm x. i don't think there's a shortage of awareness of who malcolm x was and his contribution. a it because he was a member of the nation of islam? dave racine as extreme sets at the time. the nation of islam had its own issues certainly with louis farrakhan, and whether or not that was really islamic call those issues were out there. in so many ways, malcolm x was lin controversial than dr. king. dr. king was on the front lines, was going to be put in jail, was willing to risk himself, his body, ultimately he did die. those men died at age 39. there is a huge difference in alrms of the impact on civil rights in this country between dr. king and malcolm x. if i was to make a judgment as a historian, dr. king is largel

one is that if you look at malcolm x, i think the alex haley book, the autobiography of malcolm x i think's in most curriculums. i think high school kids read it all the time and malcolm x is celebrated in that regard. you know, in harlem there's a malcolm x boulevard. i think people are aware of malcolm x. i don't think there's any shortage of that and, of course -- spike lee made a move about malcolm x and denzel washington appeared in that movie. is it because of -- he was a member of the nation of islam and a muslim? again, they were seen as extreme sect at the time. remember, 1960s there were not the number of muslims in the country today and nation of islam had its own issues, of course, with, you know, certainly with louis farrakhan but even going back to, you know, elijah poole and, you know -- and whether or not that was real islam versus -- all those issues are out there. so i think in so many ways malcolm x was a more controversial figure than dr. king. pÑ3t@ú for us now the defiant black voice who was on the street corners in harlem, an important figure in terms of the nation

haley, feels like this issue has not been appropriately evaluated.particularly, also, looking at some populations, the autism community, to look at whether there are -- immunological mitochondrial -- is imperative that we look at those particular studies. i understand the ethical -- the thing about asking parents to do that. we have populations of families that are not doing this anyway. absolutely we should look at whether or not their children developed measles. quite frankly, senator, measles and autism -- >> if you had a choice? i had all those diseases when i was a kid, we had mumps, measles, chicken pox, i had everything like that. i don't think i had -- i may have. >> it is important to recognize that many of us were exposed to those illnesses and did quite well. they are also fatal in a proportion of children. i grew up as a physician watching children die of meningitis. watching children die with ramifications of measles because we were not preventing those diseases at that the cut in time. of love to i would loathe to go those days. we are

now, in neighboring mississippi, you can take a look at governor haley barbour posset example, he did not ask for much federal aid, although they had much the same damage, and he and his state government had taken pride in doing everything on their own, willingness is the back of their feet and you did not hear much about the problems. what ever the case, wherever, -- whatever the cause of katrina's dysfunction that caused, but should be roundly given to hospital officials, police, government officials, everyone. but now they say it is a problem that no locality or state can address. as long as the cycle of mental almost rose and our ability to treat it is the minister, this will rage on and get bigger and bigger -- mental lists rises and our ability to treat it diminish. the anniversary of katrina comes in the last week of august. we have been pushing for an interview for president obama. we would like to see his vision. democrats keep the lot of criticism on the bush administration and we would like to know what they have in mind to deal with the one issue that is now standing out t

for the very first time this week, investigators said they do not think haley was bei haleigh by a strangerand the girl's biological parents are not suspects. the one person who is not in the clear, this woman. ronald cummings' new wife, mystery croslin cummings. police believe she holds important answers in the case. the mystery was the focus of last night's nancy grace. >> t.j., very stunning development. the police announced hours ago it was no stranger that snuck into that home and took this little girl. everybody, we have been getting all of your e-mails all of your phone calls, your letters about where is haleigh cummings. simple answer. we didn't know. nothing had developed into the case. the case just got degenerated into the mother and father all pointing the finger at each other and arguing about domestic squabbles. we were getting nowhere. but now this is a major development, t.j. >> it certainly is. this certainly narrows down the field of suspects from everyone to someone. as you remember, everyone was a suspect when this began all of the way up until the last couple of hours.

let me just go back to the initial point, which is what haley barbour said, the former rnc chairman,who was a very respected governor of mississippi. according to him, most of the people who won were part of the republican revolution of 1994 signed on after '90s -- 1993 victory. it is late to get in the game. . . >> there are only about 640,000 people in the state. but like every other state, they have two u.s. senators. even though there is a republican governor, they dominate the slate -- the state legislature, you name it. everything is republican. the entire federal delegation as democrat. the have toyed with the idea of running for u.s. senate, and he could win if he gets in the race. if he saw a republican winning in new jersey and virginia, that would go a long way to easing his concerns. >> i have more patience for candidates now to take that, because you are asking them to give up their livelihood to run. you're taking away from their family. florida is a perfect example. you have to candidates, one who is in because he thinks he can win, and the other who is in because ther

let me go back to the initial point which was what haley barbour said. according to him, most of the people who won the were part of the american revolution in 1994 signed on after the '93 victories. that is late to get into the game. that is only one year out. whether it is right or wrong, these people -- if someone runs for office, they are putting their life on the line put. it is a very serious undertaking and some of these folks have a lot to lose. anything that can inspire them to think that this is a good year and that they are not wasting their time, i think is very important. there is only 640,000 people in north dakota, but they have to u.s. senators and both of them are democrats. even though there is a republican governor and republicans dominate the state legislature and the boy republican attorney general, everything is republican, but their entire federal delegation are democrats. the governor of that state has toyed with the idea of running for u.s. senate and he could win if he gets in the race. i think that if he saw republicans winning
