miller, senior congressmember from san francisco, the white house apparently is waiting for george miller, nancysi is waiting for george miller. so in a few days, george miller, after 3.5 years of doing nothing, is going to put in a bill for a three-year stay going to $9.80 by 2014. that is not a political winner. if you go from $7.25 and catch up with 1968 by taking it to $10, that is 30 million workers you can appeal to. 30 million workers. that does not count the restaurant workers, and fast- food workers who are still at $2.55 an hour plus tips. who knows what they are in terms of getting even to today's federal minimum wage? the federal minimum wage is lower than all western countries. ontario and canada has a minimum wage of $10.25. another star that has allied is this, they usually catered to the business community when there is a minimum wage increase in the past. they say, let's give them a tax break. under obama, the have already given 17 small business tax breaks. we all know that walmart and mcdonald's have got the tax system pretty well gained. with this gross inequity where workers

miller versus bob dutton. that was a real disappointment and a blow to nancy pelosi's drive to 25. >> there's a seat down in the san joaquin valley where they didn't get their candidate in. looks like that's probably going to wind up in republican hands as well. this wasn't a good election for the democrats in california in terms of getting their congressional ducks in order. >> well, we know there was lots of attention to san joaquin county this time around. is that an alert electorate? can the democrats expect more boost with a larger turnout? >> we'll see. we'll hope the turnout's a lot better in november. there's record low turnout in this primary. state-wide especially in san joaquin county so we'll see. okay. wish for, maybe get. well, that is all for us for tonight. we thank you, both of you, for joining us here tonight. and we thank you also, dan, for being with us. please visit kqed.org/this week for our show archives and to sign up for our newsletter and our podcasts and to share your thoughts about the program. you'll also find a link to all after kqed's election coverage there. we leave you with ima

( laughter ) eve captioning sponsored by cbs this is the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley. >> pelley: good evening. with a former vice presidential nominee, a couple of millionaires, a thief and a mistress, the john edwards trial had all the elements of a novel but, apparently, not the elements of a conviction, according to the jury late today. edwards was acquited of one count of campaign finance fraud in connection with his run for the 2008 democratic presidential nomination. the jury reported that it was hopelessly deadlocked on five other counts, so the judge declared a mistrial on those ending the case. anna werner has been covering the 17 days of testimony and nine days of deliberations, and she joins us now from the courthouse in greensboro, north carolina.
