>> they are referring to her as the sanford candidate. there's also the traditional message behind it. >> the former republican gov. this week endorsed haley. what impact has that had on the race? >> both were looking for the endorsement of mr. masters. he is the attorney general, the definition of south carolina establishment, as some have to find him. it makes it more certain that once the republican party chooses a nominee, everyone will line up behind haley. right now, she has a pretty commanding lead. she will be in charleston and hilton head on friday, campaigning with mitt romney, as well as with jenny snaford. -- sanford. that should give her a bump. >> we want to take a look at some of the campaign ads. >> we said no to bailouts in washington. we said no to inside dealmaking in the back room politics. most importantly, we said yes to south carolina not just being republican but becoming conservative and reminding elected officials who is they work for. i am a woman of god who understand that threw him all things are possible. >>

as many people employed i tried to get this stimulus money into south carolina last year governor sanford block to that. ed that. the governor will name the director of the unemployment commission. this gives us flexibility to help people who are out of work match up with new jobs. that is important as we move forward in the governor's race. >> senator ford, excuse me, >> i think your question is for senator ford. >> can you point to any specific instances where your efforts have helped create jobs in charleston county during your time as an elected official? >> by resolving the confederate flag issue. we won that after we were able to convince charleston on this. i have been involved with the project where there were 4000 jobs. i got on the floor of the senate to defend that project. that will bring 4000 jobs because that is a needy county. >> would you locate video poker machines? >> you are missing the point. $3.5 billion of budget, thousands of teachers will be laid off. we can get that money right away. there are 49 states that have a problem with their budget. 41 of them are conside

the last nomination, edward sanford, attracted taft;''s content.in 1925, he recommended attorney general harlan stone. when holmes stepped off the court in 1932, his colleague justice stone and urged president herbert hoover to name benjamin cardozo. he had pronounced him the outstanding jurists of our times. in an unsuccessful advocacy of his appointment by calvin coolidge. no justice, stone, offered to resign from the court in case people would object to his becoming the third member of the court by the empire state. hoover relented to the acclaim cardoza received an nominated him in 1932. he would serve only a halffdozen years before his premature death, but he is considered among the greats to have the grace of the nation's highest court. mr. chief justice, i believe i saw a portrait of him in the conference room. he is there. they put franklinnroosevelt in a bind. he wanted to nominate his new deal with tenant, a harvard law prof. felix. but the western states were without representation on the court since the resignation of joseph mckenna. ou

in south carolina voters are choosing a successor for republican governor mark sanford in a race charged with allegations of infidelity against one of the candidates. opening statements in the federal corruption trial of former illinois governor rod blagojevich began today. a federal prosecutor alleged blagojevich was part of a series of illegal shakedowns. he has pleaded not guilty to trying to profit from his right to pick someone to fill president obama's former senate seat. blagojevich arrivedate the courthouse in chicago smiling and joking with journalists. he told them the government has lied to the media and the public about the case. general motors announced it's recalling a million-and-a-half vehicles worldwide because of the potential for fires. the recall affects several pick-up trucks, sport utility vehicles and passenger cars from the 2006 to 2009 model years. gp plans to disable a heated washer fluid system module that could lead to fires. nearly all of the vehicles affected were sold in the u.s. it was a mixed day on wall street today. the dow jones industrial average gain

frustration along south carolina voters that they'd become something of a laughing stock after the mark sanford debacle, et cetera, that they wanted to be proud of the person they elected and this looked like it was sort of a smear campaign. i think what-- the straw that broke the camel's back was the racial epithet made by a republican state senator about her on the radio and i think that is is the issue where the voters say we don't want to continue to be on comedy central jon stuart's punch line. i think this is a woman, who if she succeeds, is somebody that the republican party is going to use and -- as sort of their new rising star. i fully expect to see her in 2012 giving some sort of address at the convention, whether it's the keynote, et cetera, but she is somebody that they're going to be spending a lot of time grooming. >> woodruff: dan, finally, how significant that women, especially republican women, did so well across the country yesterday? >> i think it is significant. we've always talked about the year of the woman at different times during the campaigns but usually it's been abo

there are some republicans in the state that had a rather acrimonious relationship with governor sanford even though they were of the same party, and they spent eight years fighting and going over vete expose overriding vete expose things of that sort. governor haley would inherit a state looking at a projected $1.3 billion budget deficit for fiscal year 2011, a state that has an 11% unemployment rate, which is higher than the national average of 9.7%, and a state where, according to a winthrop university poll, one in five residents is worried about running out of food before being able to buy more. so those are some serious problems that the next governor will have to address. >> woodruff: that will be on the mipdz of voters as they go to the polls in november. >> absolutely. and they are going to be looking very closely at that. south carolina, taking it from a national perspective, south carolina, obviously, very important to-- look forward to 2012 for rrngz it has been traditionally the place where presidential candidates, if they make it here they can sort of make it anywhere. you c

endorsed by jenny sanford, she is ahead right now, likely to go into a runoff.the bottom line is for a state like south carolina, likely to nominate a woman of indian heritage, she is the daughter of an indian immigrant and a woman to the head of the government in south carolina is a pretty impressive feat. >> woodruff: i have a feeling all of you at the "washington post" are going to be watching that one closely too. >> indeed. >> woodruff: we are going to have to leave it there. dan balz, amy walter, thank you both. >> brown: again, the major developments of the day. coast guard admiral thad allen said oil collection efforts are gradually improving. b.p. is now siphoning nearly a half million gallons per day from the damaged well. an unknown missing are-- unnumber number are still missing and officials fear the missing could rise. the newshour is always online. kwame holman, in our newsroom, previews what's there. kwame. >> holman: our oil leak ticker now includes b.p.'s projections of the amount of oil it's siphoning from the ruptured well. a follow-up to ray

i am not blaming anybody but the sanford years have taught us that you have to work with people in ordero get things done. i have been getting things done for eight years. >> we have another question from the voice of the voter project. each candidate has one minute to answer. this comes from richard gregory. he wants to know how much funding will you give to the interstate 73 project to help the economies of northeastern south carolina at diversify and get better? thank you for that question. >> i would say this, we need to look at where we are getting funding from. we should let the private sector run rest areas. find new ways to create revenue without asking the taxpayers. we can come up with creative ways to have revenue. myrtle beach is subsidized so much of the state. we take so much money from them and did not send much back. we have to send that back to one of the crown jewels. revenue.ngs in some much that money has to come back. i would look at all kinds of things. we hire a new architect whenever we build a new school. and why not build template drawings and use it again? you

the sanford years and showed me what you can -- what can happen when you do not do that. i am a positive conservative leader who of gone things done in the executive branch and i'm ready to expand it from the governor's office. >> your question was on course and how to maximize interstate highways. we need to learn from georgia. they ran with it because governor per do with greek people at the ports and thank them for their business. that would walk away and let the courts do their business. in south carolina, the governor was not engaged in a legislator will not let go of the report so that they can do their job. we need strong ports, we need rails and distribution centers, expanding our interstate highways so that we're not congesting our interstates with trucks. that is how we maximize the amount afraid that comes in. >> we've got to have an intermodal port. i went to other ports and met with them. we got to plan ahead and find someone that will go about that. we need to have specialty 43 georgetown, jasper, they should be the best agricultural port in the entire unite

we went through two years of nightmare with mark sanford and here we have nikki haley who is now accused of having several affairs during her marriage. i'm just afraid that if she is elected our governor, we will have at least four more years of mark sanford-like administration. the fact that she was supported by sara palin who i am very afraid of this woman because she is the neocon darling. anyway, south carolina is blood sport what comes to politics but i'm really disappointed that nikki haley is going to be probably our next governor. host: amy walter, she faces a runoff june 22. she got 49% of the vote. not enough to beat out her republican challengers. as this view were noted and john mercurio noted earlier, this is a republican state in a republican year and it is likely she will win. or whoever wins that republican primary will then when the general election. host: -- guest: there is a lot of talk in south carolina and washington about whether congressman barrett, he did come in second behind the caylee, will basically dropped -- behind nikki haley, will basically dropped his bid

many said that if you are elected, we will have another four years of mark sanford and another toxic legislative executive relationship. if elected governor, please differentiate between your approach when working with our legislative body. >> we are very different people. just like you have two children that are different. this is what i can tell you. i have been in the legislature long enough to know what the problems are. but i have not been part of tte legislature long enough to be part of the fraternity party. i can tell them where we want to go as a state. we need to be predictable. we need to tell them what we are going to do before we do it. the goal that i want to have is to give south carolina and the wind. i want the legislature to feel what it is like to win for the people of this state and i wanted people to know what it feels like. this can be done. i think that the people are going to be pleasantly >> you say that you are not part of the fraternity, but don't you have to drink from their kegs so to speak? >> you actually do not have to. i was majority whip, i was put o

representative at haley, many have said if you are elected, we'll have another four years of mark sanford and a toxic relationship with state gridlock. if elected governor, please differentiate your approach when working with our legislative approach compared with that of gov. stamford. it -- governor stanford. >> we are different people. at first of all, have been in the legislature long enough to know the problems are, but not long enough to be part of the fraternity. the key to leading the legislature and being governor is to put forward a plan that tells where we want to go as a state and educate the people and legislature on how we get there. second is being predictable, what we are going to do before we do it, consequences before they happen. typical of to have is the first year in office to give south carolina a win. what the legislature to feel what it is like to feel what it's like to win and i want people to return and have the power of the government. this takes a governor who can show an agenda of where we need to go, how we need to get there, with looking at years 3, 5, 7. i

last week i attended a school in sanford, south carolina and i think those are smart investments not only to put people to work to lay the groundwork for long-term economic growth. however as you have indicated and testified the recovery is not on the sound is footing as we would like it to be. north carolina still faces tough times. teachers, medicaid funds that are not funded and there are those who take a pretty tough point in saying we ought not to do it. we shouldn't do it, because if we do it there are those who vote against it o will go home and campaign against people who do what they consider responsible thng, to keep this economy moving forward, just for political purposes. my question for you, that we need to keep our eye on the ball. my fear is that not only will children get hurt if we don't do the right thing but economic recovery in the long run, we will pay a healthy price. in your view, what would be the effect on the recovery if we pull back too soon and did not provide the kind of aid to states may need? at a very critical moment, and i think we are at that tender.

justice white's death, no catholic would harding's fourth and last nomination to the court, edward sanford, attracted tafts consent of the stanford was not his firsttchoice. in 1925, however, the big chief enthusiastically recommended harlan stone. when he stepped off the court as he neared his 91st birthday in 1932, just distend suggested benjamin cardozo to her liver. cardoso had been called the outstanding justice of his time. not a justice himself, a felony yorker offer to resign from the court -- a fellow new yorker offered to resign from the court. stone's offer urged the award for most selfless support for a nominee. hoover finally elected to the -- finally relented to cardoza and nominated him in 1932. before his premature death. he is known as one of the greats. i sell a portrait of him in the conference room this evening. he is there. the cardoza vacancy put roosevelt in a political bind. he wanted to nominate felix frankfurter, but the western states had no representation in the courts. roosevelt thought frankfurter would be a good replacement because of his religion. geographic

beside her, a new member of the house, sanford dale.beside him and jack brooks, there is a picture of me metcalf. bob monahan of west virginia. and some others. i can't recognize them from here. >> when we first started talking about all this, you said you hoped that the press, students and all, would read this? why does it matter? >> it matters a great deal. let me explain. the people in the media need to know the history of the united states senate if they're going to accurately report on it and interpret the day's events. to accurately interpret today's events in the light of history. for example, following the tower nomination vote, i heard a very fine news reporter make the statement on a tv show. she was on a panel and she said the senate will never be the same again. well, that reflected to me a lack of institutional memory. the senate is already the same again. i mean, those things come and go. that is why we need to read the history began seeing president tanner's time for example, 1843 -- said in the name of caleb cushing to b
