. >> despite repeated trips to early caucuses like iowa and new hampshire and south carolina, ted cruz played coy today about his 2016 ambitions. fox news' chris wallace was having none of it. let's listen to chris and him. >> i understand a lot of people are focused on politics and potential future races. i am very much keeping my focus on the u.s. senate. and the reason is the senate is where these issues are being fought. >> but, sir, without being -- at the risk of something a smart aleck, for somebody focused on the senate, you're spending a lot of time in iowa. >> well, what do you make of that, mark? i mean, the guy's having -- i don't care. every politician plays this game. i'm sure secretary clinton will too. when you're making the rounds then you have the nerve to say you're not interested in running. why did you go there? >> the people are nice, they have good food. that's not the reason he's going. he's a smart guy, but i think he's misplaying his politics. first of all, he's going to iowa. he's not driving much of a message when he goes except again appealing to the base o

began in the tiny mill town of this town in south carolina. in march of 1944, two white girls, ages 11 and 7, were beaten to death while picking wildflowers along the railroad tracks separating the white and black sections of town. historian george fryarson. >> their bodies were found in a creek bed in this area and they had been brutally murder. >> reporter: soon affidavits, george was arrest and claim he gave an oral confession. his family moved out of town and ray brown who is producing a movie about the case, says the real killer got away and the trial was a sham. >> it was a situation where he clearly was railroaded, you know? there was no evidence. nobody can find anything. >> reporter: the trial lasted just two hours. the jury only took ten minutes to convict and stinney was sn s sentenced to tie. he was represented by a lawyer who never put on a case and never attacked the state's case and never filed an appeal which would have delayed the execution by a year. just 83 days after his arrest, stinney weighing only 95 pounds was strapped

they'll take him to new hampshire and south carolina, they'll take him to florida. and nevada and new mexico. those among the key presidential battlegrounds, chris christie by way of his duties at the republican governors association, about to get a premiere chance to test his national appeal. we'll watch that one as 2013 turns into 2014 and we begin to think of 2016. now let's take a closer look at virginia. a much closer race here, a tug of war. literally a tug of war between the republicans and the democrats. and what has become a very competitive swing state. why did terry mcauliffe, the democrat, win? simply right here. the northern virginia suburbs, just outside of washington, d.c. the margin of victory came there. look at all of this red. ken cuccinelli winning where republicans need to win, especially in the rural areas, but the suburbs, delivering the victory for terry mcauliffe. let's take a closer look at how he did it. a tug of war on the big issues as well. if we move to virginia here, look at this, virginia once known as a reliably conservative state,

. >> o'donnell: but not in iowa or south carolina. >> if anyone looks at the chris christie performance tuesday doesn't think that it's absolute slam dunk as model for future of the republican party they need to have their head examined. the truth is i spent a lot of time in iowa and new hampshire. seen a lot of you along the way. but the reality is that governor christie has got a proven record now appealing to both the center and conservative part of the republican party. if he's got great opportunity in the context of leading the rga which currently is the largest political committee in american poll six, 40-plus million dollars, can raise another hundred million. that's an important post that will help him focus on the -- haley barber rule, electing more governors next year. >> what's interesting about that role of the red of the association that the republican governors association before christie came to head it was making the christie case. don't pay so much attention to the conservatives in washington who are hurting our brand. pay attention to the conservatives who are in offic

the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from south carolina seek recognition? mr. wilson: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. wilson: mr. speaker, the president has broken his promises to the american people. because the administration's strained interpretation of health care plans under obamacare, millions of families continue to receive policy cancellation notifications destroying jobs. last week the president made another unrealistic promise when he offered to provide a quick fix to this problem. at the same time, he threatened to veto the keep your health plan act, the bipartisan legislation that passed the house last week, which allows him to legislatively follow through with his pledge. common sense tells us the president is putting politics over policy when it comes to implementing his signature health care takeover. the administration is out of touch with the struggles of american families

i was born in 1954 in columbia, south carolina, deep south, and my parents left the south when i was pretty young, my parents moved to washington d.c.. i don't remember when they moved. i was two four years old. i asked my father why did you move? he said the following to me. we moved because i fear that if we did not move, one of two things was going to happen. either i was going to kill a white man or a white man was going to kill me. my parents were refugees from the jim crow south. like millions of people, billions of people, you have black people you might meet from san francisco or los angeles or detroit or philadelphia, you talk with them for a little while you will hear a story like this. millions. after we moved i would go down to columbia often, spend my vacation there, my summers, i begin a book by saying i vividly remember going to see the movie the nutty professor. the 90 professor that i saw was the nutty professor starring jerry lewis, not the ones starring what is the comedian's name? eddie murphy. that is the young people's nutty professor. one i saw was jerry lewis.

for instance, i'm from south carolina originally, and housing for homeless women veterans in the state is still really hard to find as opposed to here in the city. it's still very challenging, especially if you're a woman veteran with children. however, usually if you know the right people, you can get those resources for those individuals. sometimes, again, it can still be tough to do, but it really depends on location a lot of times. >> bob, as someone who came of age in the draft years, how do you sort of understand the kind of, like, shift between that, those years and the culture we have now, which is the all-volunteer force, and the all-volunteer force that has been employed in active combat for, you know, 13 years? >> it's a big difference. in those years, which was part of the early post world war ii decades, nearly every family knew someone who had served in the military. now that is not the case. most of the time, if you travel the country, if you ask someone, do you know someone who's in the armed forces, they'll say no. so, what we've done -- >> although that depends a lot

meanwhile, here at home passengers onboard an amtrak train that derailed in south carolina, they're being taken by bus to their destinations. the amtrak crescent went off the tracks early today. the crescent was on its way from new orleans to new york city. thankfully, there were no serious injuries. 318 people -- 218 people were onboard. in forts a fumbled punt by the denver broncos in overtime completed a major new england comeback. they rallied from 24 points down to beat denver and peyton manning 34-31 in overtime, if only some stocks can bounce back by that. those are your news headlines, i'm eric shawn, now back to tracy. tracy: that is a fabulous point, eric, thank you very much. all right, well, lawmakers trying to push a four-year delay on the government's recent hike in flood insurance as residents in flood-prone states truly panicking over not being able to afford the skyrocketing prices. phil keating is in key west, florida -- i know, tough gig -- with the story. phil, i know some of the same lawmakers who voted for this now are trying to undo it. what's going on? >> reporter:

. >> andrew, from south carolina. you are on. >> thank you for having me on. i was wondering how -- what was her astrological sign and how did this shape your worldview? inshe was interested astrology. she was born on july 28, 1929. perhaps our color could tell us. i think that this is leo. my wife was born on the same day. so i have a bit of a leg up. who cameis the woman to see me in richmond who plotted out the astrological signs of the entire kennedy family? listening to jackie kennedy in the videos and the audio, regina wants to know, did jackie speak cadence in normal conversations as on tv? not.e did some people who knew her commented on the fact that in public she spoke in a way that was very careful, sometimes a little bit stilted, and the explanation was she had in her mind the way a first lady should look and a first lady should act, and also the way a first lady should sound, which is different from the way she sounded off duty in the evenings. >> but her mother and sister also had that. >> this has a label, locust valley lockjaw, for the oyster ba

and, of course, much of the south seceded and called itself a separate country until it was defeated in the civil war. secessionist by tradition it is almost like thanksgiving, thanksgiving stays and secession comes and goes. >> douglas brinkley is a professor of history at rice university in houston, and a cbs news contributor. he says the founding fathers made sure rural america was listened to starting with the way we choose a president. >> that is why we have electorial college system that we don't forget rural people, but that system of having two senators from every state regardless of population is a gesture, a big one, to rural populations that they are being listened to. >> reporter: listened to or not, these modern day movements are popping up from maryland to the upper peninsula of michigan to northern colorado. >> no way, colorado we are here to stay. >> reporter: in northern colorado this tuesday, voters in 11 counties will decide about letting their county commissioners explore breaking away from the state. >> i think that it is not a good way to solve problems. >> i ac

don't forget mitt romney only won south carolina with 54% a year ago. it's a very conservative state. rand paul saying tattoos and ponytails, et cetera, et cetera, that's all very true. and i appreciate that. he's looking for a younger electorate, a younger demographic. but his voting record and his colleagues that are running for president, their voting records are just as conservative as his. and that's fine, except when you say you're okay -- you're not okay with pro choice or you don't believe in marriage equality, et cetera, et cetera, then young people turn off from that. so the people with those ponytails, the people with those tattoos are going to look at him and say i like him on the nsa stuff but why does he hate women and why does he hate gay people and that's not okay. that just doesn't jive. so the policies have got to match the politics. right now rand paul is trying to thread that needle and doing it very unsuccessfully in my opinion. >> meanwhile he hasn't officially thread the needle because he said yesterday, hogan, that the decision o

(laughter) south carolina, was slavery bad everywhere? because i grew up hearing that some slaves enjoyed at least the job security. i'm not saying slavery. (audience reacts) honest to god. i grew up being taught the civil war was not about slavery, it was about economic issues and about states rights and that a lot of slaves, you know, enjoyed the job security. >> i would doubt that very much.

went from virginia, alexandria, to south carolina. lucy went from south carolina to new orleans. we took turns. we were both in school. i could only take off so much and she can only take off so much. it was a fascinating experience. from your mom cost perspective, what was your role in the lady bird special humor -- lady bird special? >> i think she enjoyed it. daddy love to go out and speak to people. mother was a little more regal. she loved the south. she had grown up and spent a lot of time in alabama. paternal family were from alabama. so she had lots and lots of cousins. she would go there in the summer. her mother died when she was five. her mother sister would take her to alabama to visit cousins in the summer. mother did not want these out to think that we did not want their votes. just because we knew that there were a lot of people who did not like the civil rights bill for instance. she hoped that she could appeal to them to recognize that the time is coming and change had to be made. we were moving forward. there were also a lot of african-americans who were there a

we made not one, two, three, four, five plane reservations for that man to come up here from south carolina, and missed all five flights. then there's a guy in his life named mo who has a van who was going to it drive him the ten hours from south carolina. from what i was told, he brought his bag out of the house, into the house, out, in, out, in. his pastor said there w something going on up here and he wasn't really in a good place. and then he has this baby's mother. he has 13 kids. ell, and he owes over $1 million in child support. we wanted to talk about all of this, not in a judgmental way but a what happened way. please, don't laugh. of this is sad. all right. do what you want to do. then he's got one of the baby's mother lives in florida with one of his kids. well, he said he wasn't coming to new york unless we fly the baby's mother up hearo ey could have a visitation backstage. i have no idea. but you want to know what? i like dmx. we come from the same place, and we were accommodating. we bought the plane tickets for the baby's mother. she missed the flight -- nope, check. showed

there will be a lot of contenders in iowa and south carolina, a lot of voters who vote against him. but in the end, the republican party will, as they have in the past, get behind the guy they think has the best chance of winning, like john mccain, who wept through this murder board, like mitt romney. mitt romney is not the first guy to look at running for president who has problems on guns or abortion or who's raised tolls in his state when he was governor. it's not like he'd be the first one coming at this. the question is whether over the last year or two we've seen a real shift in the republican party so it's going to move away from its historical pattern and go for something more pureblood. >> michael, i read your article. it didn't focus a lot on what he's done in office on the economy. other articles may in time do that. a lot of the media coverage in general, including us, we cover a lot of 2016 stuff. if we dive in for a minute, because i know you've covered him a lot, he has presided over tremendous cuts at home in new jersey. cutting family care, $100 million. that's thei
