you are looking at a live picture from new york. new york governor, david paterson is about to drop his bid six days after kicking off his re-election campaign. we expect him to step up to the podium any minute now. mike, tell us about the events that led to this. >> the events began two years ago on march 18th. the day after the inauguration of david paterson. he was elevated to that position after a prostitution scandal took down eliot spitzer. now, he admits his own marital indiscorrections, one with a former state employee. from there, it's downhill. you followed this for two years. his approval rating is about 22%. only 45% of so lower than andrew cuomo. that and the fact he has no money in his war chest and no democratic support from the white house to the state house made it almost impossible to imagine a winning scenario. yet, yet, he announced he was running, he was in it to win it. he was going to be elected because he was the accidental governor until this point. he was going to make a big comeback like the comeback's in

we're back with the governor of new york david paterson. after the governor was sworn in he went public with this admission about the past. let's get rid of that and listen to it. >> i betrayed a commitment to my wife several years ago and i do not feel i betrayed my commitment to the citizens of new york state. i haven't broken any laws. i don't think i've violated my oath of office. i saw this as a private matter, but both of us committed acts of infidelity. >> larry: you have an open marriage, governor? >> no, we were separated actually at the time. >> larry: why did you do pgo pu with that? >> i went public with it. since i became governor overnight, the state was already ala alarmed. we had a fiscal crisis going on at the same time as the government crisis. the open and transparent way to address it, my wife thought so, too, we had been separate during our marriage. we wanted to clear that up. i thought at that time it was the right thing to do and i still do. however, the basis of those admissions i have always thought have created a

he grows up a son of privilege in new york city. he is fascinated by bugs, insects, the outdoors, but he is told as a very young man he probably will not live until the 21st birthday. he is second. he is nearsighted. and he wears spectacles. the kids make fun of him. he is strong. is almost anorexic. he is told that he does want to live to his 21st birthday he probably shouldn't go outdoors. and roosevelt wilson is way to strength. he says in his biography, autobiography, i've will will myself stronger. he builds his body. he overcomes his sister he was afraid of the dark that he was afraid of trees that he was afraid of forces. this most robust mail of our president he was this shallow very scared child. he wills himself to strength. he goes to harvard. he falls in love with this beautiful woman, and he leaves harvard and he starts with a little crabby very young age. he joins republican party and then he said was the least corrupt of the two corrupt parties as he said in new york, the legislature was not 100% crop but perhaps 90%

state of new york. it's particularly troubling that the inconsist ten p tent statements to the committee were in each instance an attempt to down play the concerns about the wage and hour watch program wafd by republican members. at best the inconsistencies in her testimony lead me to question her ability to interact with congress in a candid manner and manage the enforcement of labor laws by the office of solicitor in an evenhanded and fair manner. i have tried for months to resolve these concerns. in august, i asked president obama to withdraw ms. smith's nomination and offered my assistance in ensuring a replacement would be confirmed quickly. i also joined all of my nine colleagues in urging senator harkin from approving this nominee in committee and ensured that the qualifying replacement be given swift confirmation. i mentioned that i joined all nine. a couple of the people on there i don't know if they've ever opposed a presidential appointment. because the president did not consider it a problem

for example, a new york city report says the local acorn office will now be called the new york communities for change. and will no longer be officially associated with the national acorn group and the same move has been made in california as well as massachusetts, all in an apparent effort to distance their work from acorn's national troubles. and the debate about the capital research center has written extensively about acorn. >> keep the money flowing in order to could that, they figure they need to change the name, and change their image, and they are doing that, by reincorporating their state chapters under new names. eric: it comes after the explosive expo says, and multiple efforts in congress and elsewhere to cut acorn funding and the group is even under criminal indictment in nevada, for voter registration related charges and there will be a trial in las vegas in a couple of months there. martha: what is acorn saying about this todayed . >> a spokesperson is quoted as, claiming the switch on, quote, a series of vicious right wing attacks, over the past year-and-a-half. and this has

the "new york times" has been foremost in exposing difficulties in new york. litigation is underway in those jurisdictions, but the climate is so terrible, financially, in state government these days that notwithstanding all of the problems in new york and michigan, which i think are too terrible examples in the north and certainly can be matched in jurisdictions in the south. it still seems an uphill battle to get legislation through. but finally, i would simply say, since you gave me the micropho microphone, -- >> i'm a quick learner though.

new york was always the beacon for the rest of the nation. new york is the progressive capital. when we -- we do not talk about progress, we accomplished progress and the other states follow a spirit that to me is what it means to be a new yorker. that has kept this caucus live for 40 years and that is what we're going to carry forward. god bless.

in new york, i-84 is closed in both direction. more than a us thethousand flig already been canceled. >> it is pretty there. here in washington, it is just gray. to politics now, democrats appear poised to go it alone on health care. all signs point to the party pressing ahead to pass the bill before easter break and using the r word, reconciliation. >> here now is mark whitaker. mark, it was, yesterday, i guess maybe we were naive, i think some of us expected more actual negotiation. it was purely a debate, wasn't it? >> there was a lot of posturing. on the other hand, it actually got at a fundamental difference between the two parties. and that is the democrats believe in comprehensive health care reform. they think it is a moral issue. they also think it is an economic issue, that basically you need to get everybody into the pool in order to bring the cost down. the republicans simply don't believe in it. so the question is, if that's the case, and this is where we were going to end up, where did we spend the last year trying t

captioning sponsored by cbs from cbs news world headquarters in new york, this is the "cbs evening news" with katie couric. >> couric: a powerful snowstorm hitting the northeast. if it sounds like you've heard me say that before, you have. in fact, it's the third time this month. the latest storm is slow moving and stretches from michigan to maine in some places between new jersey and new hampshire snow accumulations topped two feet and counting. travel is difficult and dangerous, at least three deaths are blamed on the storm so far. and many people are in the dark tonight, up to a million homes and businesses have lost power. jim axelrod is in stan hope, new jersey, tonight. and, jim, there's some big reminders of these storms and they're really sticking around for some time. >> reporter: that's right, katie. snow mounds like the one behind me now part of the topography up and down the east coast. but the headline of this storm is as much about the winds as the snow. for the past 36 hours, man's been battling but nature's been winning. >> it's miserable, man. it's just terrible. >> rep

it may be in new york state. he is still carrying on the business of new york state. host: joining us from las vegas, democrat's line. caller: good morning. i would like every congressman and senator and federal employee to give up medical insurance so that we can have the money. we're paying for it. the other thing is i want them to report all campaign contributions. all. not just from the insurance companies. all of them so we can determine why and how they're voting the way they do. thank you very much. guest: i'm not sure i would want any american to be without health insurance any time, but especially in hard economic times like this. maybe a better proposal would be or an ltnat proposal would be, and it's been suggested by a lot of legislatures, why don't we have congress passed a health care plan that is exactly like the health care plan they get. i think the answer would be if everybody had access to that plan, we probably would really break the budget because it's a very generous plan. and so we'll see. but i don't agree that -- i just don't agree with the fi

binghamton, new york, 16 inches and new york city central park, 9.6. over the next 48 hours, this is snow going forward. take a look. we'll wind up with an inch or two across much of the northeast and in some spots, looks like you could wind up with 6 to 12 inches. and in portions of northern maine, a foot or more coming over the next 48 hours. so we're not out of the snowy woods yet. >> bummer. all right, brian, bring our hearts back up to a good beat and pace with some sports. >> how about some olympics? first, it's almost done. south korea's skater takes the gold in women's figure skating. silver went to japan and you know that. she grew up there. therefore, they get credit and bronze went to canada's joannie rochette who lost her mom four days before. canadian hockey team who plays on ice is in hot water not for winning the gold but partying too hard after taking the gold. >> what? >> they had a 2-0 win over the u.s. who brought home the silver again. the ioc is investigating the celebrations after the women reportedly drank beer and champagne on t

jersey, new york, connecticut. and there was a second storm, though, that came up the coast and scooped up moisture along the -- from the atlantic and it actually stalled off of new york at the same time that the storm from the north arrived. so you had two storm systems sitting over our area. and it was here for about three days. >> wow. the perfect storm. we rely so heavily these days on forecasting equipment and doppler radar and that sort of thing. none of that existed in 1888. how could they forecast the storm, and did they get it right? >> well, the u.s. army signal corps was responsible for weather predictions. and they had hundreds and hundreds of people out there who literally went to telegraph offices and sent them barometric readings and told them temperature and just essentially told them whether it was raining, snowing or whatever. unfortunately, in 1888, the weather bureau at that point closed down on saturday night. and the storm hit on sunday. and so no one actually knew that the storm was coming. >

york daily news." he serves as their bureau chief. you have a story this morning -- the headline says "voters may ask, david who"? and why is it phrased that way? >> well, because the governor has this big announcement. he's doing it in three cities over the next two days. and yet very few, if any, prominent democrats are going to be showing up to back him, from chuck schumer, he appointed to pretty much every prominent state democrat. they will not be at this event. numbers are extremely low. his fund raidsing is weak. and a lot of people expect that attorney general andrew cuomo will eventually be the candidate. host: with that in mind, the governor travels the state today. why is he going and why, in essence, were those locations picked? guest: wrbling he's starting off at hofstra university on long island. the governor grew up on long island, and he went to hofstra law school. so they're going to do an event there. then he goes up to rochester to do a really in a small union hall that was picked, o
