it's to mayor lee, carla johnson, john paul scott and cochairs wendy james and julianne parsons. i hereby resign as chair of the physical access committee, effective day. i have served as chair of the physical access committee for almost 5 years. sips i began using an electric wheelchair and even before then when i walked with great difficulty. i have seen great improvement in san francisco especially access to buildings, curb ramps into buildings and disaster preparedness. it has been a privilege and a source of pride to have helped move the ball forward on physical access as chair of this committee. however, when it comes to access for people with major mobility disabilities, san francisco is becoming a tale of two cities. in one city, the progress mentioned above is continuing but in the other city, san francisco's campaign against cars is threatening our safety, transportation options, mobility, independence and equality of opportunity. people with major mobility disabilities, many of whom are seniors, rely heavily on private cars, paratransit and shuttle services. the campai

and you and john paul scott do a good job on updating us on access issues and getting our input and i want to thank you because advocacy by no stretch of the imagination is hard at times and especially with some of the issues, you know, that you stated, you keep on being involved and care about the community and remind us of the issues and the work that still needs to be done. so i want to thank you for your time and so many things that you've done that i'm sure everything wasn't even covered in your background and how you supported the city and county and the disability community. so you will be missed but i know we'll still see you around city hall. i know you will still come to our meetings. it's been a pleasure and i wish you luck in whatever you do and you'll be great and i'll shut up now so the other council members can chime in and say some other kind words. but thank you, it's been a pleasure. >> roland. >> yes, i'd like to also thank howard for being such a detail-minded person. we have worked on many projects together like the central subway, like elevator issues that we're

very interested in wisconsin, which is not republican turf for many years, but because of scott walker and paul ryan, that could be a big surprise. i'm hugely interested in pennsylvania. that was not on the romney map initially. what's happened is after the debates, pennsylvania shot up. he's drawing gigantic crowds there, and that could be a big surprise. then one little one. it's only six votes, if i'm not mistaken, but he's doing very well in iowa. he's polling very well in iowa. i'm not a polling expert, lord knows, but i'll say this. romney could lose ohio. he could lose pennsylvania. and he could still win the election. >> how? >> the south. >> colorado and wisconsin. colorado and wisconsin. >> you don't think wisconsin is a given, though, because of paul ryan? of course, it's not a given in massachusetts either, is it? >> i'll tell you this, i don't think anything is a given. you know why i say that? i think the voter i.d. turnouts that are determining these polls are highly flawed this year. you had 2008 which was an outlier. if you decide democrats plus seven or democrats plus five bas

>> well, look at the field for 2016, everyone i would mention, starting with marco rubio, rand paul, scottker, maybe nikki haley, not only have we added new diversity, but all of those candidates ran on these core issues of fiscal responsibility. the resonance of the tea party in the future i think has to do with those issues. the tea party is not a political party. we're not going to run a candidate for president. >> brown: could someone coming out of the tea party movement win at the national level? is that the way the party will go? >> i agree with matt, the tea party is part of the republican party. conservatives are part of the republican party. so sure it's absolutely possible. marco rubio or paul ryan are associated with the tea party. so certainly. but going back to something leslie said, it's how you communicate these issues. you can't be talking about electrified fences and cattle prods when you're talking about immigration. look, the country is for border security and a reasonable immigration policy but it's how you communicate it. >> brown: what about on various other social is

wisconsin's scott walker is one of them and joins me now, governor, great to have you with us. >> paul, good to be with you. >> paul: when you wrote to the hhs secretary kathleen sebelius, you wouldn't set up a state exchange you wouldn't have the flexibility to make it work. why don't you elaborate on what you mean by lack of flexibility. >> each of the governors who run it, a state run, partnership or referring to the federal government. any folks that have a state run exchange they need to realize in the end there is no flexibility in terms of final outcome, there is no substantive difference between the three option, all of them lead to a federally run exchange one way or the other. great example of that talking to my friend gary herbert, the

he was making argumenting on behalf of paul ryan, pushing for scott walker, doing these things that arehe kinds of things republicans need to do to draw the contrast with the president in the white house. lou: if i understand correctly, the status quo election will be a complete victory for both parties; is that correct? >> no, not at all. lou: just kidding. >> i know, i know. i think mitt romney was a good man, immediate i don't career -- mediocre candidate with a bad cam payment. you can't lay that on the rnc. lou: i've never seen an instance where the republican national committee was held responsible for a campaign, ever. great to see you both. the hair looks great there. >> thank you. lou: i understand it's the result -- >> oh, wow. >> i permly learned the -- personally learned the consequences of losing, lou. i lost the bet. lou: also the consequences that lead to doing good for a charity. thank you. >> thank you. lou: war producing heros and tragedies, too many to count, outpost in afghanistan, and detailed accurately by jake tapper in the new book "the outpost," ed henry gave me

if that is shaky i am not convinced he will win.3 that is the state of paul ryan, a scott walker.up really late. cheryl:. dennis: then romney could stage a comeback then to go to ohio closing at 7:30 p.m.. i am sorry if obama wins ohio it is over? >> with that initial balance is the absentee ballot but if you start to get in the boat to from cincinnati, the coal district it could be after midnight or maybe days or weeks. dennis: early absentee votes go for obama's but are there high votes voting early republican? >> more than in the past i do think the majority goes for obama's. elderly people who would vote for him initially. dennis: is there a gap from what you tell the pollster than vote differently? >> absolutely. that is why look at the "new york times" who has 92% chance obama will win. at all think it is 90% if you look at the wild card calling people with cellphones, i think it will be a very, very close race. dennis: obama's? >> i have him at 281 greg valliere. good job. cheryl: we are all over the swing states the sunshine state is of must win. melissa francis is in tamp

people like rand paul might lead it. scott walker of the world, there is a reality we will have to conform to. they're not all being punished at the ballot rocks. we will see a double dip recession and some of the effects of responsibility. there will be more and more politics available for that. connell: we've already heard from boehner today. whoever they're playing to until the end of the year. as always, thanks a lot. dagen: you have seen stocks playoff the progress or lack thereof on the fiscal cliff. yesterday afternoon, after a little upward movement in the stock market, senator harry reid came out and expressed disappointment on the lack of progress with the automatic tax increases and spending cuts, and the reverse happen again today. getting a bit of a bounce after john boehner sounded optimistic on getting a deal together. chief investment strategist at like rock. it doesn't seem that bad. the market bounced back a little bit, but do you see increased volatility, much wilder swings, potentially, getting closer to th

these people will join such small government constitutional conservatives as scott walker, rand paul,neral andttorney the 50 odd members of the house his did for conservative principles and voted against the debt ceiling deal. republicans never win the presidency unless they nationalize the election at around conservative principles. we do not always win nationalized elections, but we never win unless the candidate presents two world views. mitt romney fell to do that. in choosing to ignore the conservative agenda, he chose not to follow the path that led to republicans winning the white house seven of the last 11 elections. but republican national chairman, senate republican leader mitch mcconnell, and john boehner and other republican leaders behind the epic election failure should be replaced with leaders more in tune with the conservative base of the republican party. likewise, establishment republican consultants would never be hired to run or consult on a national campaign again and no one would give a dime to their ineffective super pacs. mitt romney's loss was the death rattle

. >> reporter: if the power does come back, paul nicaj says he will cater wedding reception at his restaurant tomorrow, scott, for 150 guests. >> pelley: no power means no gasoline as hundreds of gas jerions in new jersey and long island are in the dark. seth doane is in oceanside, new york, where fuel and patience are running out. >> hey! you're not cutting in here. bull (bleep), don't give me that bull (bleep), i've been waiting here four hours! >> reporter: on long island, gas lines are long. >> i was on line. i was on (bleep)ing line and somebody had to pull out of their driveway. h don't tell me. >> reporter: the line leading to the hess station in rockville center stretched for a mile. steven petricone waited for eight hours. >> i slept on this line in my truck. i slept in front of the taco bell. >> reporter: for how long? >> since 11:00 last night until il00 this morning. >> reporter: so your wife's in line with the car. you're here because she's running out of gas. >> i'm afraid she's not going to idke it here, yes. >> reporter: heath levine waited while his wife lauren back in line was running close

paul ryan. i'm talking about a guy named scott walker. >> governor of the great state of wisconsin, caught walker>>neil: from madison, wisconsin, this is it, "do or die", the final hours before voters in this state died whether to make their governor the third to go down to recall defeat. >> governor walker reminding me he is fit. he is ready. he will survive. >> if you win, governor, what do you think it means? >> it is a victory for courage, not only in wisconsin but across the country. for years i have heard people tell me, voters, people complaining, democrat or republican, complaining about politicians at the state and local and national legal, they don't have guts to take on the issues. the politicians have to take on the issues. politicians fail to do that. the victory tomorrow is a victory for everyone across the country in a local and state government and those like paul ryan in washington trying to do equally great things. it would be a victory to say voters mean it when they want you to take on the top issues. >> the people. united. will never be defeated. >>neil: so coy it you can hea

. >> paul: steve, is this a candidate problem in part? scott brown has done, i mean, is a tremendous political talent, very, very good politician for that state, but it looks like he may lose to elizabeth warren just because that state is so liberal? >> yeah, well, let me answer your question, i think it's pretty lousy candidates on the republican side of the aisle and democrats are recruiting pretty good candidates this year, examination, bob carey in nebraska is making that price potentially tight. a red state. your home state of wisconsin tammy baldwin from madison is hardly a centrist democrat, but she's running as one, and meanwhile, tommy thompson, who was the four term governor of wisconsin, is running a tired campaign and not appealing to voters. my favorite race, paul, is the one in arizona which should not be tight, a very red state and the reason that's important is because jeff flake, a taxpayer hero, made his career in the house as mr. anti-earmark, all, he's being attacked in arizona by some republican business groups for not brin

scott walker, and now, it's become a battleground. battleground wisconsin. here's "nightline" co-anchor bill weir for your voice, your vote. >> paul heads back to his home state. >> reporter: ramble through the midwest these days and the old real estate agent's mantra of location, location, location takes on a whole new meaning. for example. these voters -- they are worth their weight in electoral college gold because they live in swing state wisconsin. meanwhile, way over here in illinois, this place is a deep blue foregone conclusion. no matter what these leaf raking romney fans do. >> most of the state of illinois is going to be red but chicago's going to be blue. just going to go blue. i understand the electoral college. it's a little different situation now. >> reporter: yeah, yeah. >> you have a video camera on a stick. >> thanks a lot. lemonade. cinnamon -- >> reporter: meanwhile, back over the border, i meet the mom of a girl scout who happens to be exactly the kind of person who may just decide this whole thing. you're undecided? >> yes, i am. >> reporter: really? you're like seeing a snow leopard in the wild. this is ver

. >> paul slade spoke today in favor of a a resolution by supervisor scott weiner believing that $6.7he commission should be spent for maintenance and service improvements. >> this spiral is going to be use in order purpose. >> there has been a strong push but activists to fund free muni for low income kids who ride buses to get to, and from, school. >> if these kids go to school they want an education, you know? they want to learn to do home work. they want to get to school in the morning. >> a monthly fast pass costs $22. a 120% increase since 2009. and at the same time, the old yellow school bus service is being dramatically cut. muni director proposed spending the bulk of the must money on maintenance for the system. >> we don't see if youooirçzçe or another. we believe we can do borjmen borjment -- both. >> the mayorqn;ya spokesperson tells me ed lee supports thextdi concept but wants that balance with the critical maintenance needs of the agency. live in san francisco city hall, abc 7 news. >> carolyn, thank you. >> a father and season bucket list turned into a quest to help

he's connected to scott walker as his campaign co-chair. he's connected to pauln, who paul ryan called mike grievey, his political godfather and reince priebus, when he was fighting to be the rnc chair saying this is my guy. >> scot, you want the simplest explanation for everything. when you look at this map, if you were to put this king maker, grievey at the center of a map and play that map out, the money badger map, it is pretty extraordinary in terms of the connections. they are not just sort of casual connections, i saw a picture with them or they were at a dinner party together. what we're seeing is the bradley foundation and michael grieve yrk as a real sort of force behind this. is that correct? >> without a doubt. now that they've moved into again funding these organizations designed to suppress the vote, we like to think that our investigation delivered a roundhouse to the white sheets of voter suppression and knocked off that cowardly veil of anonymity. people need to know this is going on. what i think is great is that because people have been mobiliz

scott pelley" at 5:30. >>> well, it's the last dry day we are going to see for a while. chief meteorologist paul deanno in the weather center with more on the rain heading our way. it just rained on us right there! did you see this? >> it beat the actual rain by a couple of hours still sitting offshore. we could show you rain even when it's not. here's the rainfall sitting offshore. hi-def doppler the strongest radar in town can see what's 300 miles offshore. we showers moving toward the bay area. big area of low pressure once it gets here, it's going to hang out for about three or four days. you can see this huge counter clockwise swirl encroaching on northern california. let's go county by county for you. sonoma county farther north will see the most rain, 2." alameda about 1.5" and santa clara county including the city of san jos 1.25" of rain. we'll talk timing and talk about any dry times over the weekend that's coming up in a few short minutes. >> thank you. >>> he murdered two people in a fifth jealousy. now a jury will decide if convicted killer nathan burris will pay the ultimate price

what a huge disappointment this is to republicans, too, when you have paul ryan on the card, a popular republican governor in scott walker, trolling for votes in the state of wisconsin. whoa, that's not the kind of thing we're looking for around here tonight. if you can switch it back, do it, just take us back to the touch-screen here. >> you don't hate twitter, do you? >> i'm not a tweet hater. i tell you what, shepherd, i have been to ohio twice in the past eight days and i do believe one of the stories that will be written about this re-election is how when barack obama won ohio in 2008, he did not leave the state. the field offices were still there. he still had paid staffers on the ground. he still worked to try and figure out how to the votes you get in 2008, and where you go in that state to find others. that ground game. that ground operation that he learned on the south side of chicago and illinois, some 20 years ago, might in the end be the story that you talk about in places like ohio when it's all over. >> thanks very much. we might also talk about how the economy has improved. unemployment has been do

let's play in paul richards, he has your money in motion trade. >> hi, scott. how are you? >> good.hank you. strength with the dollar today, staying power? >> i think there's some strength in this one. the dollar was rallying even before a good payroll number. we have a problem in greece again. spain has gone to ground, nobody has seen lahoy. i would sell the euro. >> some of this what finally breaks the euro's back and gets it off of that strength that it's had of late? >> i think the fact that spain is out of the equation at present means the ecb can't implement the omt 3r578 and that's why the euro rallied. until we see something positive out of spain, i think the euro will be under pressure. >> what are your leferls. >> your target is 126.50. thanks for bearing with us today. we're tight on time but we'll catch you later. >> money in motion 5:30 p.m. eastern time. next on "half," did atlantic city's casinos finally catch a break? plus we're trading the biggest movers, pops and drops, straight ahead as well. >>> welcome back. here's a bit of good news -- atlantic city's 12 casino

conserveatism, conservative who is go, run for office, they get elected to do things people like scott walker, paulee and others. they have won and established themselves as serious thinkers, as policy wonks, people who want to do things. i think that is also a positive for conservatives. >> we have been talking about vice-president -- or about presidential candidates on the g.o.p. side. but we haven't talked about the democratic side. lanny, i remember four years ago, you were a big hillary clinton supporters. you were disappointed when barack obama got the nomination over her. what are we likely to see from her, four years from now? >> a lot of people are saying, get over it. look... [chuckles] >> hillary clinton is still a great and popular leader of the democratic party and a great supporter, with her husband, of barack obama. whether she is capable of moving on and enjoying life and getting some free time and sleep, as an old friend of hers, that's what i wish for her. but she will remain a major figure in our party for years to come. >> let's head to carl cameron with final thought from the r

paul ryan the congressman winning an 8th term in wisconsin. republicans fell short in their effort. they lost 4 key races including one in massachusetts. democratic challenger elizabeth warren repeating firs republican scott brown and then in fir virginia tim cane and he may defeat the open seat goiwithout going after jim as wells. republican linda mcmahon lost to democrat chris murphy. there were some big wins for republicans. in arizona he defeated democrat for the open seat of john kyle. me meanwhile cuban americans had become the first latino to pin a den gnat seat. michelle match lan won her 4th term in congress. >>> oo with the am the question is what happens next? >> for the mast two years we have a democratic controlled senate. they have been virtually deadlocked. in does that leave us? where the president reach across party lines during the second term? that is what charles krauthammer is looking at today. >> we are left in the country exactly where we started but a little bit worse off. the republicans are in control of the house a little bit stronger. they are not going to budge. there's no way in which holding out on obama they are going to cave in. obama doesn't have a way to go. he governed

i think the excitement of paul ryan, in addition to the fact that the national party helped scott walkerere for romney since june 5th where he had better numbers than he did in the original election. the republican party in wisconsin is fired up and i think romney will win it? >> for those very same reasons i think the republicans have a better organization, stronger organization in wisconsin than i think they have ever had because of the whole scott walker thing. i think that will serve them well. but we should point out in all of these races, president obama is ahead and he's ahead a little bit. >> in all the polls in wisconsin. >> yeah. so this is kind of a feeling thing that people have. if you look at the polls, the president is ahead. >> that's right. i think the same thing we talk about new hampshire earlier. the same thing applies. there's a clear obama lead. will there be an extra push they haven't picked up? and these intangibles could come into play on election day, but i find the numbers a safer bet right now. >> one thing about wisconsin too, a couple other things, one is co

mansion in michigan massachusetts new hampshire and paul ryan his running mate wisconsin they've lost that and as we did talk about in the last hour scott walker who launched a successful recall election there in wisconsin and yet the state this time around went to obama so certainly some interesting. trends that we're seeing there but as we do wait on more results to come in i want to talk more about voting we've seen over the course of the last few years numerous voting laws changed across the united states in fact more than thirty states have enacted some version of voter id law or changes to the way people cast their ballots republicans claim it's an attempt to stop. fraud democrats argue it's voter suppression so who's right joining us now to talk more about this is brad friedman read blog dot com one of the great investigative reporters. in america who has been doing this this election protection beat now for years and there's nobody in the country who knows this stuff better than bradford. hey tom and christine great to talk to you both and to answer your question it's voter suppression area there you go and you find a coincidenc

generation of articulate, philosopheically fluent conservative it's paul ryan, marco rubio, ted cruz coming into the senate and the governor, scotto will be there in 2016. i predict that the field of candidates in 2016 will be as strong as the field of republican candidates in 1980, which was astonishingly strong -- reagan, bush syren, bob dole. it was a whole generation of admirable and i think the rank will be improved and the message will be much stronger. so the idea is not to become a second liberal party. it is to be conservative and do it better. i think the generation is at hand. this is not a time for retreat or despair. >> i think you are right. there is woo too much hang wringing in some newscast party, to must have to the left. i can't let you go without asking you about the tragic news of the day, the resignation of general petraeus and the revelation that he has been having an affair with his biog fear. what is your sense of the implications of that and the unfolding narrative in the investigation that somehow led to the discovery of the affair? >> well, clearly, we are going to learn a lot about this and about the
