that is another big challenge for our friends in the incumbent businesses. >> the book is called "big bang disruption." larry downes is the co-author. >> brought to you as a public service by your local cable or satellite provider. >> c-span's new book includes financial journalist gretchen morgan seven. nson. >> if you want to subsidize housing and the public agrees that it is something we should subsidize, then put it on the balance sheet and make it clear and make it evident and make everyone aware of how much it is costing. but when you deliver it through these third-party enterprises, fannie mae and freddie mac, when you do it to a

when you saw these kind of worse but cheaper disrupters show up was that was the time for you, as the incumbent to start experimenting. again, if you were a mainframe computer maker in my example, when you saw the personal computer you'd say to yourself, it's no threat to me now, but this is a signal of something that's going to happen eventually, and it's time for a transition plan. so what christianson said is you needed to start a cung works, you had to start thinking about it, launch your own replacement from within, if you will, which is very, very hard for large companies to do. we saw many large computer companies that were not able to make that transition, both in this country and abroad. lots of them went out of business. data general, unisys. we say this is the innovator's disaster because now if, in fact, you wait until the thing shows up -- the worse but cheaper alternative -- you've waited too long, because when it shows up, it's not worse and less expensive, it's better and less expensive. in the case of our navigation example, we had companies like tomtom and garmin and magellan,

you don't have the benefit that incumbents have including the benefit of an established fund raising base. so i do think that there are differences between running as an incumbent, whether you are an appointed incumbent or not, and running as someone where there is no person that is on the ballot that is currently filling that seat. and so i think that what i appreciate about this proposal, and it's actually something that i think that it's credit to supervisor avalos because i actually think there are more examples in other jurisdictions where there is a vacancy in a legislative body, that the legislative body itself decides who fills that vacancy and that in many places where there is a vacancy on the city council it is the city council that decides. i'm glad that in this case that was not the choice made, that it was actually given to the voters. because i actually think that that is the more appropriate approach. because that way you are trying to, as much as possible, take politics out of the mix so that it's not a power struggle between, you know, elected officials on the board

the incumbent seeing that sort of bump in the points.oth of the campaigns said they would be really considering that this would be a tight race. you just don't know what can happen over two years when the race was as close as it was two years ago. there is only time for espaillat to really gain ground. on the other side, charlie rangel has been representing this district since 1970. that's when he was first elected. he is inextricably linked to the history, the culture of this district. he has a very strong base here, especially with black and african american voters. they have supported him for deck killed as here. but the fact is that his base has eroded. we see more hispanic voters come into the district, especially following redistricting in 2012 when a portion of the bronx was added into the 13th congressional district here that brought in more of a hispanic population. we have asked charlie rangel how much will race matter in this race? how much does ethnicity matter. senator espaillat would be the first hispanic congressman if ele

face off against the incumbent governor john hickenlooper. beauprez. ore of a republican establishment figure. gloria borger, bob beauprez, he was a late entry in, but he wins. he is the republican gubernatorial candidate will challenge the governor, john hickenlooper, gloria. this is a significant development. >> right. it is. i think some democrats were sort of privately hoping for tom tancredo. he is a divisive figure within the republican party. and they believe it would have brought out democratic voters to the poll because of his views, for example, on immigration. and so i think that tancredo's loss is something that the democrats kind of would have said look, we might have liked him there. so hickenlooper will have a fight on his hands. you know, one thing, wolf, just to go back to the cochran race for a minute, which is so interesting to see. because i think it's become a proxy battle for what is going on inside the republican party. and if you just look at the surrogates who have gone to that state. dana knows this better than anyone. john mcc

the incumbent often wins, just go with that. when things happen like the eric cantor election, or the toppling of hillary clinton in 2008, it reminds people there are consequences. when people are as angry as they are now. when people are this angry, consequences start to be felt on candidates. >> this guy mcdaniel is running as sort of mississippi's ted cruz, which is proven to be very appealing to a lot of republicans. >> yeah, i mean, he's 42 years old. he is -- he says it's time for a new face, new change in washington. and he's tapping into that overall, not just in the republican party, but in both parties as you mentioned, that washington needs to change, period. you know, charlie rangel is basically facing the same thing in new york, looking for his 23rd term. mcdaniel has tapped into this fervor from conservatives, and seeing that house majority leader alead leader eric cantor lose to dave brath in richmond, just down the road, i think that fired a lot of them up. you'll see tonight whether they came out in big numbers.

we are hearing the incumbent president has, as expected, won the election by 88% of the vote. kerry says that election was meaningless and millions were unable to vote. the millions who have been displaced outside syria or within syria and also the fact that a lot of people have not been able to contest the elections. there was no serious opposition in this election. the result was widely expected. >> lucy fielder, thank you very much. all of the latest there from beirut. and let's move on to germany. prosecutors have opened up a criminal investigation into the merkel's pping of mobile phone. it is sure to complicate relations between the allies. last year documents leaked by edward snowden indicated u.s. intelligence had been monitoring the chancellor's communications for many years. they reacted furiously and a high level team traveled to washington to demand answers. a cloud of controversy continues to hang over the elease of the soldier from the clutches of the taliban with allegations of desertion when he walked off base five years ago. the u.s. urged nobody to jump to co

because the incumbent figures, he's got all the votes that he's going to get.re is a paradox here. the democrats really want mcdaniel to win. why? >> he's given over to these kind of fire and brimstone conservative speeches. >> former radio talk show host. >> right. he's kind of got a history of some questionable comments calling hispanic women mama seatas and so forth. and so i think the real danger here is he becomes a todd akin or sharron angle. >> from 2010 and '12. >> failed candidates. and democrats use their media mega phone to turn them into mr. republican and tarnish candidates in races nationwide. >> but they also have a real shot, alicia, at this particular election they think, if mcdaniel is nominated on the republican side. they have a candidate in travis childers, who is a former congressman, legitimate shot at election. >> that's right. former congressman, former blue dog, very conservative. >> a conservative democrat. >> democrat, that's right. and mississippi is not as perhaps as conservative or as republican as many believe. in fact, mitt romn

the incumbent governor is a democrat, john hickenlooper. tomorrow republicans in colorado are going to pick who they want to run against john hickenlooper and using the claire mccaskill playbook, democrats have decided to help republicans make their decision. democrats are trying to get republican voters tomorrow in colorado to pick the republican nominee who the democrats would be most excited to run against. there are four republicans in the primary tomorrow. running for the chance to run against john hickenlooper for governor. they include a former congressman with a lot of name recognition, the current secretary of state in colorado. but obviously the guy who democrats most want to run against is tom tancredo. he's run for governor before and lost. he's run for president before and lost, obviously. tom tancredo is now a writer for "world net daily" and his platform for this run for governor in colorado is he wants to impeach president obama. tom tancredo says president obama should be sent back to kenya. he says we should bomb mecca. he

there running for the open senate seat, an incumbent congressman, wound up surprisingly blowing away field here with t.w. shannon who is a former statehouse speaker and he had a lot of tea party support and really was a bad night for establishment tea party folks. the irony is dave brat who wound up beating eric cantor had almost no d.c. establishment tea party support, that was pure grassroots and the only real win they've had. >> ifill: you mentioned colorado and other states. >> yeah, colorado, upstate new york. other incumbents who had a bit of a stair but won the races anyhow. >> woodruff: and charlie rangel, new york city, one of the longest-serving members of the house eeked out a win. >> and a lot of us were wondering, here was another 40-year member of congress and would he be able to survive in a district much more heavily latino, he wound up winning late this afternoon, called it 67-44 over state senator espiate. we'll see what happens in the next term. >> woodruff: primary season marches on. domenico >> ifill: she is a former secretary of state and a former first lady and

they look at the governor's race in colorado and a new york congressional race where their incumbent won and they think we don't have any todd aikens on the ballot. republicans have to make their best effort, the resources will be spread thin. they have the president who is always an issue in midterm elections, not even talking about obamacare but they'll come back to that in the fall, they have the va scandal and the irs. republicans think in terms of mojo they have a lot of things going for them. >> a lot of issues are important but they're not all. we are in a situation it's not clear it's going to be a nationalized election, it's not clear a lot of republicans want it nationalized. they've been avoiding putting out a national platform and in a midterm election that means it's about organization, and so republicans want to have their right people up front, want to have the organization behind them and they were able to do it to some degree in mississippi. >> if you're the chamber of commer commerce, you support immigration reform, you support the export/import bank, spending tens o

the woest woe woe"washington post." thank you so much. >>> senator cochran, incumbent white establishment republican from the deep south has an unlikely soulmate today. incumbent african-american establishment democrat in the north who's also facing an upstart primary challenge that may finally spell his political demise. congressman charlie rangel. plagued by ethics problems even before his re-election two years ago and challenged by a redrawn district also evident in the last election cycle which significantly increased the latino population in his district and who two years ago won by only 1,100 votes. the man who came within 1,100 votes of beating congressman charlie rangel two years ago is back today in a rematch. that challenger, adriana aspiat. senator rangel, quote, yes, i have attacked his record and shouldn't have because there is no record. there is no love lost between the two men in what has been a fiercely contested election. whereas last cycle it was the congressman's dominican republic villa that may have dogged charlie rangel. something under press scrutiny for years. this year, rangel is trying to intr

the latest poll number show a commandingly lead over the incumbe incumbent. the most recent poll shows wolf 20 points ahead of corbett. he was 33% and wolf is 53%. this poll was conducted between may 29th and june 2nd. does the governor have white house ambitions. he was asked about that in camden today. the governor said it would be foolish to decide now whether to run for president in 2016. he admits it's something he is thinking about, but won't make up his mind until early next year. >> we are learning about the investigation into the deadly crash involving tracy morgan who is in critical condition. live in the digital operations center with what was revealed today. >> new tonight, court records obtained that 35-year-old kevin roper was allegedly dozing off moments before his tractor-trailer plowed into the back of the limo bus that tracy morgan was riding in. he was charged with one count of death by auto and four counts of assault by auto. he is free on bail with a court appearance on wednesday. it happened around 1:00 on saturday in middlesex county. th

the issue is not whether customers would be benefitted -- but whether incumbents would be harmed. the same thing happened in telecommunications. in telephone regulation in particular it came to be true that the interests of at&t, the old bell monopoly that was broken out in 1982 were primary at the fcc and the interest of consumers were definitely seconda secondary entrants were excluded, technology was excluded or slowed and consumers lost in order to benefit the incumbent monopoly. we don't have a good history with regulation even where there's a lot of con seine trags in the industry. i think therefore we have to be careful before imposing regulation. the first stop, the presume in our economy is competition and the promotion of competition by the government is the ideal way to go and if that fails -- which it can do -- then we turn to regulation reluctantly as a last resort to solve a serious and otherwise remediable market failures. we don't start with regulation so there's no particular evidence that competition isn't working in the parts of the telecommunications industry de

typically, the incumbent loses in the runoff when that happens.le have come alive. their campaign has come alive, and they've decided to bet everything on a bipartisan coalition of moderate conservative republicans who do like the pork, plus, democrats, not just african americans, also moderate, white democrats that are trying to get him to the polls. we'll see whether it works tonight. >> so, john, if the tea party candidate pulls it out, will it really be a victory for the tea party, or is the establishment candidate just so old and tired that it wouldn't matter who ran against him? >> no, look, i do think it matters. there are two dynamics going on here. patricia murphy has a great piece in "the beast" today about how committee charmz are actually more vulnerable for losing election than members of congress who are under investigation. incumbency can be a real vulnerability, particularly in these narrow primaries, as eric cantor saw. the other dynamic, though, that's gone with the tea party insurgencies is they tend to elevate candidates who ar

they're also mad at black mississippians who crossed party lines to vote for the incumbent. ments like this today. black women paid to get out illegal vote for cochran. but for those tea partiers crying foul, consider this. in the recent upset in which david brat defeated eric cantor, there were plenty of encouraging democrats to cross over. remember this guy? >> breaker one, breaker one. might be crazy but i ain't dumb. anybody home on the hazard net? >> the actor who played cooter on "the dukes of hazard," ben jones, published an open letter before the brat v. cantor primary saying, quote, by voting for david brat in the primary, we, democrats and independents and libertarians, can make a big difference in american politics. it is your right to cast that vote. it is an open primary, and it doesn't preclude anyone from voting any way they wish in november. it may be the only way to empower those who want to make a statement about the dysfunctional congress and politics as usual. and that's not all. remember operation chaos? >> i want our party to win. i want the democrats to

it's the old school incumbent republican. but in this fight, he has got the support of the state's republican governor. the state's republican lieutenant governor. the de facto head of the republican party in state, haley barbour. also haley barbour's whole family dynasty which controls the republican party in the state, plus the whole republican congressional delegation from the state, plus the national republican senatorial committee, plus the u.s. chamber of commerce, plus republican household names like john mccain who was down there yesterday and today campaigning for senator thad cochran. what nobody knew before today was whether or not that sort of institutional in-state organic home-grown support from the machine that is mississippi republican politics, whether that was going to be able to make a difference on the ground in the state. i mean, we've seen tea party upstarts in other states, right, that have lots of loud national support from outside groups that get a lot of press, they get a lot of facetime on fox news a

trying to appear to be more anti-gay than the incumbent republican senator she was trying to topple. in this fight between their daughters, they came out to support the anti-gay one who was running for office. are we having fun yet? this was the liz cheney senate campaign in wyoming. she declared it all over in january. liz cheney withdrew, thus clearing the way for the guy with the rpg who thinks you need a joint and we may have a little love. liz cheney's last foray into politics was basically a short lived comedy of errors mass car aiding as a wyoming senate race. but liz cheney has been around a little bit, in her other forays in public life, have been pretty poorly received. when her father was vice president, she did get a job at the state department. and then in 2006, so in the second bush term, where vice president cheney's influence started to wane, the biography about dick cheney, angler, goes into his efforts to start a new war against iran, were thwarted. while he was still trying to hold on to that influence and advance the idea of bombing iran, liz cheney at the state de

in many ways, while he was the incumbent he was the underdog. last night, thad cochran comes from behind basically, wins by 6300 votes. it certainly caused hard feelings. let's listen to what his opponent chris mcdaniel had to say when he found out that he lost. >> we have to be absolutely certain that the republican primary was won by republican voters. there is something a bit unusual about a republican primary that's decided by liberal democrats. so much for bold colors. so much for principle. >> and the united states senator chris mcdaniel very frustrated by the fact that he lost last night. in many ways, miguel and christine, thad cochran, republican, might have won with the help of african-american democrats. thad cochran was able to appeal to these democrats to come out and vote for him, which you can do in mississippi. in fact, thad cochran overperformed in counties that had a majority black population. >> a real nail-biter in new york. it appears this morning at least congressman charlie rangel thinks he's going to continue to fight on

the incumbent what's his stance on green house gases ? the regime has mustard gas and sarin. >> attacking his own people with chlorine gas. >> jon: okay. i will put you down as regulation ad verse. i'm not a campaign advisor but i think al-assad -- what does hassan al nouri have to say. >> he says he's he's a strong leader and you have to respect what assad is doing. >> politically i think he is doing what he has to do concerning the crisis. >> i agree with president assad in many issues. >> i'm not anti-assad. nobody is perfect. >> jon: in fact i am voting for him. for more we are joined by our new correspondent in syria michael che. michael che, thank for joining us. [cheers and applause] >> jon: this is so exciting. your first day at the show. this is great. your first day at the show. first assignment is to go to syria. that's [beep]. >> jon, standing here in the ruins of this once proud city makes it clear the future of syria won't be decided at the ballot box. the syrians are worried if the towns will be over run by assad forces or

>> it's really common when we go into a city that the incumbents, the taxi industry, are often tryingect a monopoly granted them by local officials. >> reporter: is uber competing kind of with the taxis and this kind of thing? or completely creating a new market? >> we feel we're creating a new market, where people who previously were driving are now sort of getting rid of their second car and in many cases even getting rid of their first car. and sort of depending on this utility, or this service as a utility to get around cities. around the world. >> and you know, what he said is obviously there are challenges. i met travis years ago. he was wearing cowboy hat and snakeskin boots, just a renegade ready to do something. now they're teaming up with big brands. just teamed up with american express for loyalty rewards program. you getted idea they're not going anywhere and going to fight the fight. >> interesting, some of the protests in europe this week actually attracted more people to uber. so interesting about that. >> i know. >> great interview. >>> thanks for watching cnn "money."

the word incumbent. >> nobody was incumbent. is there there were no incumbents in the election.plicants. >> what happens? it used to be worth something. >> i don't know, but it took on the flavor of somebody who was interrupting government, somebody who was doing bad things in government, responsible for the bart and the muni, it was all the negatives with the term incumbent. years ago when i first started, it was worth ten points on the positive side and there were some guys who wanted to change their last name to incumbent. >> carla, when i look at this race, we have a republicans versus democrats. the governor's race managed to beat tim donnly and the tea party. >> democrats have a mischief. a better candidate against brown. and and and was everybody was entertaining. >> a new member. >> we'll be right back. ,, bulldog: bulldog: [yawn] i just had a dream i was at mattress discounters with tempur-pedic and the largest selection of memory foam mattresses under one roof! icomfort, by serta... optimum, by posturepedic... ahh! comforpedic, by beautyrest... ooh! 48 months interest-

so that's the chris mcdaniels that is now on the verge of winning possibly against the incumbent senator cochran. but listen to the talkers gush about him. >> chris mcdaniel is a reagan conservative, a constitutional conservative. >> these are the people we prayed for for five years. and you guys are starting to stand up. >> i've always been very, very reluctant to endorse in primaries. very product. and i decided to get into this race and support chris mcdaniels because i see him as a solid conservative. >> this would send shock waves through the incumbency class if you're able to beat thad cochran, and i hope you do. >> they're willing to do more for an extremist like mcdabble now that they've had a victory like brat? >> absolutely. they have been emboldened by the seventh district in the commonwealth in virginia. there's no if, ands, buts about it. now remember, they have lost some, they have won some. let's be quite honest. but what makes this -- what sent shock waves here in washington was the fact that that was the number two man. quite honestly, probably the happiest person on cap

the american public. this happens with incumbents. we had benghazi, the v.a. scandal. the prisoner exchange, the irs lost two years of e-mails. story after story that make it difficult for him to talk about anything else. when republicans pick up seats in the house or control the senate, the lack of clout he has will be very exposed. failing a dramatic military intervention or some episode, he is in a difficult position. having said that, you can never underestimate the power of the american presidency. at the end of the term, there tends to be a little bit of a lift and people try to put him in a historic perspective. i think failing some huge episode, the force of his presidency has dissipated. it is kind of gone. >> two points i would have to make. i would love to be a democrat and be a huge cheerleader. reality strikes in this case. the worst part for the president is the events are controlling him. rather than him control in the -- him controlling the events. we have gone through five months of the year. you talk about all of the things that bill mentioned and you

half of the states house members and senate members have been nominated. so far only one republican incumbentas been knocked off and in the senate the tea party said this was their last best chance to knock off an incumbent and it isn't over yet. >> carl cameron, thanks. >>> why normally friendly big labor is pushing back against president obama over the climate change policy? >>> fox 5 in new york on the chiquita banana company fighting the wording of a bill could open up its payments made in the past to colombian drug car tells. >>>. >> i don't know what he can do next. i heard like the door being pounded. i heard the knob trying to be turned.sivbñ >> the boy hid until police arrived and arrested the suspect. >>> and this is a live look at detroit from fox 2. the big story there tonight, the michigan legislature approving $195 million to help prevent steep cuts in detroit's pensions. that's tonight's live look outside the beltway from special report.

nominations committee, as read by the secretary, including the new seats, as well as reappointment all the incumbents to their existing seat. >> i have a motion for the existing members as well as the recommended new members. any other comments? >> i would just like to comment that first of all i want to thank all the applicants. this is the first time the nominations committee received a lot of new applicants and i want to thank all the applicants on their willingness to serve. i know it's a very difficult process because there's very strict criteria in the professional positions they hold but also residency requirements and i want to thank all the different associations who encouraged their members to apply. >> i second everything he said. thank you for your consideration. it's great. do we have any vacancies now? >> the two that the secretary mentioned is -- i think we have a vacant electrical engineer seat and a registered fire protection engineer. >> that's pretty impress sieve. ive. >> sgl most of them are filled. >> do you want to do the swearing in now? >> we have to vote on approval? . >> is

damian trujillo is at the sheriff's office where the incumbent is fighting a serious challenge. damian? >> raj, deputy sheriffs association endorsed kevin jenson for sheriff. today a political move by the deputies. they overwhelmingly gave the sheriff a vote of no confidence. the polls won't open until tomorrow morning. machines have spent the last week counting votes. >> we're in full swing of opening all of the vote by now ballots that have come in. as of yesterday, 114,000 that have been returned. >> one of the races in the bay area is the race for santa clara county share rich. deputy sheriffs association says its members have cast their vote. a vote of no confidence against four term incumbent, laurie smith. >> a way of showing the lack of satisfaction with the performance of the current sheriff. >> laurie smith's opponent is within of the former captains. smith deferred comment on the vote of no confidence to the consultant who told me the deputy sheriff's vote its a voting process that scud make vladamir putin proud. we don't take it seriously. the sheriff declined our req

you know, it's not ideal but it worked i think to the vendors' benefit more than to protecting the incumbent industry, so to speak. but that was a massive concern during the entire time that we were working towards new regulation. since 2010 when food trucks started to get very popular in d.c. up until i think nine or 12 months ago when we actually got them passed there was a whole three year ordeal, working with the city councils and administrations and on. >> not just to protect brick and mortars that this narrative that food trucks aren't safe, and aren't inspected as much. what do you say to that? >> here in los angeles, food trucks are inspected just as much as brick and mortar and we are graded just as sort restaurants are. as you go throughout the country we are seeing more and more health departments kind of catch up quickly and inspect food trucks just as they would inspect restaurants. so i don't think there's any merit to that. and i think that as the industry grows, you're going to see just better examples of just great food coming of very safe food trucks. >> but david i'm looki

meet the requirements the city should definitely back up the candidates even though their not the incumbent a maybe an unknown candidate but that's what public financing is for. thank you. >> i guess this one, too. my name is yeah. my name is michael nolte. dear commissioners and executive director well, that's the overhead. my name is michael nolte i'm here to talk about the procedures for the candidates one for 2a. of which is on the attachment here. of what i just submitted. on may the 27 i went to department to ask for the forms for a candidate for the november 4th election i received a handful of documents to be filed i filed out all the documents and established an online filing. i then asked if there were other other remits upgrade my filings and an f pc number. another candidates on june 12th informed mayor edwin lee me informed me that there was a problem he was having problems with the 142a public financing deadline. and wanted to know if i knew something about that i said no and then i went to the elections dependent on june 13th to request a form 142a and tried filling it out bu

thad cochran the 6-term incumbent with 51 percent of the vote and state senator chris mcdaniel with 49 percent of the vote. here is a new york, the 13th, with charlie rangel. 56 percent of the vote. charlie rangel with 37 percent of the vote. the polls close in new york city at 9:00 p.m. eastern. mississippi new york 7:00 central, 8:00 eastern. live from year to harlem in the headquarters of charlie rangel, we will have his concession of victory speech for you this evening here on c-span2 as well. just a reminder, results throughout the evening at c-span.org and all of the video that we cover tonight you will be able to see throughout the night at c-span.org as well. we are waiting for final results from mississippi. a bit later on also from new york city as well. while we wait for that we will bring you a meeting today of the two veterans affairs committees, the house and senate have passed separate veterans affairs and health care, veterans' health care bills. today the committees met in a conference committee for the first time and we want to show you some of that beginning with the

. >> so usually when you have a runoff like this, the challenger tends to win because the incumbent, gets all the votes that he's going to get. yet there's a pair paradox, the democrats really want him to win. why? >> the former radio talk show host, he's kind of got a history of questionable comments, calling his panic women mamacitas and so forth. the real danger is he becomes a todd aiken or sharon angle. and democrats use their media megaphone to turn him into mr. republican and tarnish candidates in races nationwide. >> but they also have a real shot, alicia, at this particular election, they think, if mcdaniel is nominated on the republican side. they've got a candidate in travis childers, a former congssman with a good shot. >> a former congressman who is more conservative. >> that's a conservative democrat. >> that's right. and mississippi is not as perhaps as conservative or as republican as many believe. in fact, mitt romney won the state by 12 points compared to over 20 points in west virginia which has a democratic senator in joe manchin. >> the african-american vote is/.

on tuesday she knocked out the incumbent state attorney. viction rate of 83% during her career as a prosecutor. howard county executive. the nominee for lieutenant governor. 2008 he launched a health care access plan that made his county one of the first in the nation to offer affordable coverage for the uninsured. the republican side we start with the 30-year-old the city's first republican mayor in more than a decade. he won by making the city budget the top priority. running on promises by removing wasteful spending. the last rising star here two-term delegate defeated the incumbent. focussed on protecting the chesapeake bay. that's it for "the daily run down." i'll see you monday. e you the mt free research reports, customizable charts, powerful screening tools, and guaranteed 1-second trades. and at the center of it all is a surprisingly low price -- just $7.95. in fact, fidelity gives you lower trade commissions than schwab, td ameritrade, and e-trade. i'm monica santiago of fidelity investments, and low fees and commissions are anothe

senate 18 months ago, lindsey graham looked like one of the most endangered incumbents in the senate. then one by one, members of the state's congressional delegation, from congressman nick mulvaney to trey gowdy made it clear they would not challenge lindsey graham, leaving six little known, poorly funded candidates, competing today, to try to force the race into a runoff and get a two-week, one on one with them. in the latest poll in the race, none of them have cracked double digits. the question today is not whether graham wins, but whether he wins more than 50% of the vote and avoids that june 24th runoff. yesterday, closing out his campaign with a five-city bus tour, graham sounded pretty confident. >> at the end of the day, i really do believe there's a contest going on in the republican party, between the ronald reagan republican, where 80% is a good day, and ideological purity. if everything holds, we're going to win tomorrow without a runoff, and i think we're going to win decisively. >> if you win tomorrow without a runoff, what do you think it says about the gop? >> i think

everything else beingui,( the incumbent who was forced outxvo. frankly by turning out reagan democrats, native americans. but most interesting and impressive of all african americans who one could say provided the margin of victory and it was a victory particularly credit goes to haley barber the former governor. haley made the stakes known to voters that this was going to be a case of electing somebody, they elected chris mcdaniels who in the slogan he can do less than mississippi. that would have been a first in american politics. and cochran had been very successful in delivering goods to the state. >> woodruff: ramesh what do you think happened in mississippi. >> i think that's the overall exception to the story over this these primaries not just the establishment beating the tea party. it's the establishment and tea party converging. if you look what happened in oklahoma for example, jim lang ferred was the congressman who was considered the establishment guy al he thou when he first ran for congress he was a tea party guy and he got the vot

it's fun to surprise the incumbents occasionally. >> i'm sure that it is if you're on the right side. eric cantor a deer in the headlights? >> he didn't know until he was hit, but yeah, he was. i remember that 1994 election and that race and the tom foley loss was a real surprise. terry and his candidates did a great job. but i don't think it was anything like last night. 1994 was a good republican year. there was a sense that foley might be a little out of touch. no one, no one that i know thought that there was any chance eric cantor was going to lose yesterday. it is a district that is a republican district, but it is not a right-wing district. cantor has been elected six times before. i think it was just a real shock. >> a real shock that means what ultimately? >> well, my sense, and we'll see what terry thinks, my sense for people to say the tea party is in the ascendancy is just as crazy as saying that they were dead. what i think the message is going to send -- two messages. number one, it's going send the message, you got to be careful. whatever that's exaggerated or not, that

. >> reporter: he's supporting the incumbent who said -- >> we're seeing ads and everything. there's a lot of things being thrown around. really, honestly, i think everyone should split, half and half. >> reporter: a divide the republican party worries might not end on election day. mark albert, cbs news, washington. >>> straight ahead. lucky lightning strike. a man lives to tell about getting struck by a bolt of lightning that knocks the boots right off his feet. we work through the night to bake fresh bread from fresh dough in every bakery-cafe. because it tastes better that way. and it makes all of our sandwiches... soups... and everything else it touches taste better too. then, at the end of every day, we donate everything we have left to people in need. so we're out of bread. and we stay up all night... and do it all over again. panera bread. it used to take me forever to get a smoky eye look just right. until i discovered this... almay's intense i color collection for my hazel eyes. almay intense i-color in four color collections you have to try it for yourself. so simpl

in seoul the incumbent mayor from leading opposition party new politics for democracy defeated the candidate. the government was heavily criticized for its handling of the ferry tragedy. candidates clawed back support toward the end of the campaign. the presidential office says it humbly accepts the will of the people and will work hard for national reform. >>> german prosecutors are investigating an allegation that chancellor angela merkel's phone was tapped by u.s. intelligence. german magazine deshbeagle last year reported her mobile phone was likely monitored for more than ten years. it cited internal information leaked by former u.s. national security agency contractor edward snowden. prosecutors said preliminary investigations produced sufficient factual evidence. they say it suggests unknown members of u.s. intelligence services spied on merkel's mobile phone. the german government has urged the u.s. to overhaul its intelligence activities, but washington is not willing to comply, leaving the germans distrustful of the u.s. posture. u.s. state department spokesperson marie harf said p
