we'll see what happens. >> sally bradshaw, our last caller mentioned ron paul. donna on twitter says you mention santorum as playing a factor in the race day and how that might affect gingrich's votes. but donna asks what about paul? why doesn't anyone talk about him? and then sue writes in and says ron paul is the obvious choice in breaking away from the two-partien two two-party mentality. i'd like to hear more from all the candidates. >> that's interesting. ron paul himself has sort of taken himself out of the race in florida while he appeared at the debates, he's not actively campaigned here in the last ten days. and that's been a bit surprising. he's made a decision to go to other states. there certainly are ron paul supporters in florida. and we do have an independent minded electorate. it tends to be a conservative one on the republican side. but certainly you can't predict what florida republicans are going to do. so a little surprised by his decision not to campaign as actively here. your callers and those who are writing in are right. this is a hugely

[ applause ] >> as mayor lorris and i gave what comfort we could to tommy that day at mendenbrook, something else happened that characterizes vermont strong. with route 4 shut down and community after community, isolated islands where roads and bridges once served, brothers john and doug casella had an idea. doug said, governor, you get the department of motor vehicles to lift the ban on hauling heavy equipment across what's left of our roads and get us permission to retrieve some of the rock and gravel that irene washed from our roads into our streams, and we'll partner with other private contractors like belding company, mosier excavating, wilk paving and the national guard, and we can have route 4 open in three weeks. as soon as i got high enough in the chopper to actually have cell servi

more people on food stamps, sally, now, with barack obama than they were with president bush. i think the reason why people are so attracted to newt gingrich, he can stand up and say instead of giving people tools to build a house, instead of giving them the house want to give them tools to build the house, he wants them to have a job and own the job and here is a president you think is okay to be on welfare and okay to-- >> angela, the question has been raised with the high unemployment rate in south carolina, that one of the things that president obama did was increase the amount of time that your child can remain on your health insurance policy longer than, i think, it's ever been, and certainly that i can remember in my lifetime. and maybe it would be better to get those young folks jobs so that they can take care of themselves and have their own benefits. and women are a lot of times, sally, the ones that are filling out the the health claim forms and going to the grocery store and having to use the food stamps. >> exactly. >> not always a proud moment for americans. >> n

. >> good morning, sally. >> good morning. thank you for being with us. first of all, tell us about how things are playing out right now. the latest polls are showing mitt romney with a lead. how important is that he wins versus wins by a significant margin? >> i think it's important that he wins. i think the polls show he will have a significant margin. although in florida, it's always difficult to predict what will happen, as you know. we have a history here of strange things happening on election day. we have to wait and see in several hours what happens. but i think the significance of florida is so great in this primary contest. we are the largest of the early primary states, the most diverse in temperatures of our electoral makeup. and we're also the first closed primary which means, of course, that only republicans can vote in the florida primary. so this will be a true test for the candidates of who republicans want to send to face president obama and who they want to see in the white house. >> we're hearing some talk about newt gingrich and how h

sally's principal expressed the sentiment of her advisors and mentors when he explained that sally white is without a doubt the most driven, goal-oriented and conscientious young person i have ever encountered. she is operating at a level far beyond her years. we have been honored to have her as a high school student for the past few years. sally white is an excellent role model and a wonderful example of servant leadership. we should all aspire to work as hard as sally for the good of others and for other own personal development. i want to applaud sally's teachers, family members, friends and the thomasville community for helping to shape and nurture an outstanding student. on behalf of the seventh congressional district, the state of alabama and this nation, we recognize and congratulate sally white for receiving the congressional gold medal of service for youth award. for her hard work, dedication and commitment to community involvement. it is with great pride that i ask my colleagues in the house of representatives to join me in honoring sally white for her exemplary commitment to p

lightening the debt, if you are having trouble for federal, private loans, like those provided by sallytalk to us about that. >> federal offer the most flexibility. because the standard repayment term is ten years, but you can change that the. you could for example extend the repayment period which lowers the payments. you will pay more interest over the term of the loan but the payments are more manageable and fit in your budget. one of the neatest thing is the income contingent plans where your payment is contingent on the income you make. so if you make a lower income in a lower income job you can make your payment more manageable. >> private loans like those provided by sally mae. what's your take this. >> they don't have the same f x flexibili flexibility, but get in touch with the lender, particularly sally mae. they have an advocate for student loans. they say if you call them and you are having trouble paying loans they will try to work something out with you. if you are having problems and you don't know what to do the about it don't sit there and stew. >> one strategy is to av

and that is something that people have to sort of judge for themselves. >> sally, why now? now? we really haven't heard much from him at length since this all broke in october. >> i think two reasons. i think the first reason is that some of the boil has come out of the water since he was dismissed. there was such a, you know, a heightened level of tension in state college when he was fired. the students rioted. and i think that he felt that at that time it was the wrong time for him to speak, because emotions were just running too high. as he told me, he wanted everybody to settle down. and then i think the illness. i think the he wanted to get his story out. he wants to -- he wants to speak out while he still can, just in case his health fails. i suspect that had something to do with it. so i figure it's a combination of factors. >> i think what i was most taken aback by was the way that joe paterno was fired. as he tells it, an assistant athletic director showed up at paterno's house and handed him a piece of paper with a phone number on it. when he called it a universit

ok, page, robert it, sally, renÉe, gilbert, kathy, and the lindsay. >> hi, i am page.i run a dog walking company. i am certification. i also teach pet cpr and first aid, and i work over at the spca in the reactive dog program. first of all, ms. katz said that they do not train dogs. that is true. but if you have ever seen cattle dogs, they really do help. they would not have such a time if they did not have an assistant job helping them. my daughter is an assistant. gracie. she helps me a lot set the tone, so i personally appreciate having her with me, and if she counted as an extra dog, that would be money that i am missing out of the money i am making. i am not getting rich, as opposed to what ms. katz may think, and i do prefer to do only six dogs. however, just this morning, i got a call from a woman who was also a dog walker, and her car got totalled, and she needed people to take dogs on. i took two of her dogs out, and someone else took others out. with the help of other dog walkers, she was able to dent the dogs walked, with the aids, and i would not have the o

. >> let's get a response from sally bradshaw. >> i'm not familiar with the disabled funds you reference so i'm not sure i can speak to that. ry e we are in the midst and in florida there were two initiatives in the last election cycle. specifically that addressed the issue of fair districts. in the house in particular, the speaker is not yet the speaker of the house, but will be next year. he has been in charge of the redistricting process. with respect to them, it's five and six and to the detriment of republicans. we have a lot of complaints in the midst of the session of how fairly they have drawn the districts, particularly to ensure minority participation and access in the districts. republicans are going to lose quite a few seats as a result of the redistricting and the plans on the table now. they will go before the courts for review. i don't think it's accurate to say we have jerry mandered the districts. rutherford has gone out of the way to have a fair process. at the congressional and the legislative races. many of the republicans will have to face each other or have been dra

next i want to invite up sally stephens from the animal welfare commission and has a dogs, and martha fields. if the two of you would come out from the dog owner or guardian perspective. >> i am sally stephens. i am chair of the animal welfare control commission and the chair of s.f. dog. as a history, about eight years ago, people went to the dog advisory committee, which is part of rec and park, to get a dog walking permit. it passed the d.a.c. unanimously. the number was six they came up with, and rec and park did nothing with it. about three or four years later people went to the animal welfare control commission, and the commission at that time recommended a number of eight dogs as part of the process. again nothing has had for four years. now supervisor wiener has brought this forward. that is the history. speaking as the head of s.f. dog, we very much support the number of seven. we could live with six or eight, but seven seems like a nice compromise. there is kind of a perception that just about anybody can walk a dog. you don't know that they know what they are doing. this wi
