you love john? the resilient elizabeth edwards is next -- on "larry king live." >> larry: it's a great pleasure to welcome back to "larry king live" one of my favorite people, elizabeth edwards, the author of the number-one "new york times" best-seller "resilience, reflections on the burdens and gifts of facing life's adversities." it's now out in paperback. with a very candid and compelling new afterword. elizabeth is a senior fellow at the center for american progress, working on health care issues. it's always good to see her. you look so good. you got to tell me, how are you feeling? >> i feel great actually. you know, i'm always going to have some sort of treatment. i'm on chemotherapy now. had chemotherapy this morning, as a matter of fact, in north carolina. sometimes the treatment gets you down, but the disease is not getting me down. >> larry: what does the chemo do? you're in stage 4, right? >> i'm stage 4. the chemo i'm taking right now actually has a lot of effect on my blood. so i'm not

so something like that usually is a spur of the moment decision. >> john, here on the panel john, it's be embarrassing for a prison to have a prisoner escape. what do you think is happening or what do you know is happening at that arizona prison now in term of internally discussions? >> well, of course, first and foremost, jason is our resident expert on escapes. but it's probably trying to figure out what could we have done to prevent it. i mean that's always the number one issue. what could we have done to prevent it. is there something that we need to be doing better or look at or we need to fix, whatever the problem is. >> jason, what's the penalty if you escape and get caught? >> in our state, it will only get you another year. one to five. >> why not give it a shot? >> i can't disagree. one to five years and depends on if they commit any additional crime while they're out. >> how many attempts are there successful versus unsuccessful? >> i think the successful ones are minute in comparison to those who plan or attempt. because people like valerie and her intelligence network and

john?> i think as much as anything, it depends on who the republicans nominate, but the biggest independent candidate is mayor bloom burg. if sarah palin or mitt romney, if either one of them is the republican nominee, 50-50 chance that bloom burg runs. chris: perot got 19. >> if bloom burg thinks he could get over 30%. he won't run unless he thinks he could become president. >> if sarah palin is the nominee you will see the mayor get in the race. >> john anderson in 1980, perot in 1992, the country may be ready. >> it depends on a couple of things. palin is one and what happens in the congress. if the republicans take the congress, if they overplay their hand in one direction or the other, that will influence what is going to happen with an independent candidate. if they go too far to the right, that increases the chance of an independent running. chris: either party is not united. chris: either party is not united. thanks for come on in, and i'll give you a free quote. quote and compare i

thank you and john predecessor stole away from us, michael lane. thank you, michael, wherever you are. lastly, my personal reflection on this building. this building, to me, is truly a monument to the tremendous capacity of generosity in the heart of sentences go. the voters of san francisco in their great willingness to support this facility will always have this hospital as a sign of their willingness to help those most in need. these neighborhoods that surround this facility, i think, consider laguna honda at their private treasure. we really do look at this hospital as our own. we love this hospital. we have great care and great love for the residents of this hospital. on behalf of the neighboring residents, to all of the current residents of the hospital, this is for you. we are thrilled we were able to do this for you. thank you, everyone. [applause] >> the work of the health department would never be possible without its commission. the commission is the governing body. you have been around to this project long enough to see some fantastic c

tavis: this marks the release of john mellencamps album. we'll hear the first of five new songs he's going to share with us, all this week. the new c.d. was recorded in historic places throughout the american south, including the first african baptist church in savannah, georgia and sun studios in memphis. the disk is in stores tomorrow. later on the performance of the first single, save some time. glad you joined us, a conversation with a rock and roll hall-of-famer. the first of five performances this week. >> three months ago, on the other end, john mellencamp calling me to ask if i would consider doing something special on the show in conjunction with the release of his new record. took me three seconds or less to say yes to his being on the show tonight and for that matter, every night this week. in addition to his new c.d., no better than this, he's about to celebrate the 25th anniversary, hard to believe, 25 years of farm aid, the fund-raising concerts have raised millions over the years, with this year's event being held in milwauke

did i ever say john doesn't -- you know, i read books, john doesn't, for example? john reads ten times the number of books i do. i mean, i would never have said that. if i ever called him a hick, it was because he liked to be called a hick, you know? oh, you're such a hick, you know, you're such a country boy. i don't know -- "hick's" not really a word i'd use. >> larry: does it bother you -- or when you have stage 4 cancer, does nothing bother you? >> no, it bothered me. i wrote this in the last chapter. i wish i didn't care what people thought of me. when people say things about me that are not true or that could be -- if you explained the circumstances, they might have a different perspective. then it hurts me that people might read that and believe it. >> larry: how angry were you at andrew young for writing that book, "the politician"? he was john's aide, the guy who was supposed to pretend he was the father. did you read that book? >> i did not read that book. >> larry: he made a lot of appearances. not here. >> he did make a lot of appearances. i certainly w

but at the same time so many of us were bereft of having lost to john. and having to deal with that was extremely challenging. i have a picture of john next to my desk. i will always remember him and his commitment. part of what i had to figure out on that day immediately was what was in charge of laguna right now. that is how things are. it was a sudden death. we were not at all prepared. but even at that moment, someone had to be in charge of laguna honda. you cannot have a hospital running without a license administrator in charge. i chose someone i have tremendous faith and, and also somebody that john had tremendous faith in. and i know that it was always intended. john had intended that succession. but it was not obviously going to be in the way it happened. it was going to be in a number of years. she would have had a chance to mentor into that role. people would have gotten used to her. when he felt we were taking care of he would have moved on. that was his way. instead, she was suddenly catapulted into this job in a much more difficult circumst

our friend john kitto passed away this afternoon. he is a native of san francisco. -- our friend john kitto recently passed away. he is a native of san francisco. he went off to the navy and then off to the family business at fort bragg. eventually, don and his family opened up de thel monte fish company end of the money in business at pier 45. john and his family have been a mainstay of our fish processing business at pier 45. he has been extremely instrumental in being an important part of the fish industry that ultimately got to the pier 45 area so that we could have a viable fish processing industry. he was born in san francisco in 1927. he is been married 59 years to his lovely wife mabel. he is the father of three boys and one girl. his daughter of genejanette helo run the family business in san francisco. our hearts go out to his family and his nine grandchildren. i would like to take a minute to remember john. he has not been well for a couple of months now. as been an incredible force here on the waterfront. we're very much

john?m sure they're going to go at it, especially as we show you some of these very competitive results. the florida gubernatorial republican primary. this is a close one. we'll track this all the way down. leading at the momentum, conservative former health care executive, rick scott. 47% of the vote to 43% for the state attorney general, former congressman, bill mccollum. 57% of the vote counted. one thing i want to show, using our technology, you might want to say, he's held on to that lead for a long time, you know the state very well. a very slow vote count. not very many votes down will. there is time and votes to be counted. bill mccollum has room to come back. rick scott leading at the momentum. the democratic primary for florida senate, we have called this race for kendrick meek. he's the democratic congressman. you see the check mark there, 55% to 32%. kendrick meek winning out despite millions of his own money spent by real estate developer jeff greene. notice these numbers here,

john? >> well, look, i think he's gotten, first of all he inherited an enormous financial crisis. and economic crisis when he came into office. and he set about, i think, trying to lay the foundation for long-term economic success and the success of his presidency. and on that score i would say that he's doing, you know, he's done substantially well, better than any president in recent history. i think that the passing of the recovery act that saved or created a couple million jobs. passing financial regulatory reform, health-care reform, those are foundational elements but he's paid a price in doing. he used up a lot of capital and i think his polling numbers reflect the fact that he's been engaged in that enterprise of passing that big legislation. if the economy recovers as i think will, if jobs start growing, like president reagan, like president clinton, i think that portends well for him to have a long and successful presidency. >> rose: ken? >> i think we have learned that he does mu

they don't need john king on cnn. they can find him on youtube or anywhere they want. >> well, i think tv journalism is definitely changing. most major national broadcasters now do have a youtube channel, and they use it to reach their audiences online as well as on tv, and i think also tv is changing because the broadcasting experience can now be more interactive. you can hear from your audience, you can talk with your audience, they can help inrmour prograing. so i think th nature of how we have a public dialogue about the issues of the day is actually becoming more robust, and that can happen best what happens with a hybrid model, i think, between web and tv. >> what does that mean, a hybrid model? >> i think it means leveraging the power of people who are using the web to consume news throughout the day to help inform how you cover it yourself. so it means putting clips of your news shows online to help reach new audiences, it meanasking the audience to give you feedback about stories that you're reporting. it mea
