we felt -- failed to see sanford do that. we failed to see him get back to the business of running the state. instead on an apology tour and said -- at every rotary club and lions club meeting in the state. giving sort of a canned speech about how he's sorry. but not really doing anything to solve the woes of this state in terms of unemployment, trying to attract new business. and i think that's what our readers and i think that's what offends the media, too. it's not so much the lie. it's what's happened since. we keep waiting, when are we going to start see him do something? and mike makes a good point. the media, we're humans. the sex, the sex, everybody plikes the gossip about -- likes the gossip about sex. the media is full of people and also our readers like to read about it. i think it's a natural part of being human. the natural part of the media. but a politician can shape his message and he can make it very clear, she can make it very clear, i'm not talking about this anymore. you want to talk to me, these are the t

sanford. >> hi, how are you? >> i'm good. >> i have a question. my question is do you think if you resign, all the issues, problems and things that people are saying about you will just go/5-? i don't. because if i did, i would have resigned. if i thought that was the cure-all to all the problems ailing south carolina and would be beneficial, solve unemployment or education, i would have resigned. but at the end of the day, i don't. i do think we need an advocate for restructuring. we have d.m.v. reform from 60 minutes down to 15 minutes. the -- we changed the d.o.t. since the early 1900's. we have gotten pieces of it and have been able to restructure within our own cap net agency. i would hope for the chance, working with people across the state and different like-minded house and senate members, to make this the year we make those three changes i just talked about. a lot of people have set well, i don't know. with the lottery, house members said i am against the lottery, but it is such an im
