at a meeting with charlie's family and his doctors, dr. byock raised the awkward question of what should be done if charlie got worse, and his heart or lungs were to give out. he said that all of the available data showed that c.p.r. very rarely works on someone in charlie's condition, and that it could lead to a drawn-out death in the i.c.u. >> byock: either way you decide, we will honor your choice, and... and that's... that's the truth. should we do c.p.r. if your heart were to suddenly stop? >> charlie haggart: yes. >> byock: you'd be okay with being in the i.c.u. again? >> haggart: yes. >> byock: i know it's an awkward conversation. >> haggart: it beats second place. ( laughter ) >> kroft: you don't think it makes any sense? >> byock: it wouldn't be my choice. it's not what i advise people. at the present time, it's their right to request it and... >> kroft: and medicare has to pay? >> byock: and medicare pays for it. >> kroft: when it comes to expensive, high-tech treatments with some potential to extend life, there are few limitatio

it is my pleasure to interior charlie cook. the bipartisan policy center was founded by four former senate majority leaders on the theory that people of good will, partisans on both sides, can come together, work through issues and come up with solutions to pressing challenges that we face today and will face in the future. they did it as leaders of the senate. they are helping us do it now at the bipartisan policy center, where we run projects on energy and climate, health care, transportation, national security, homeland security, on the principle that if we bring people from a diverse array of viewpoints together, provide them with the best research and analysis, a forum to discuss the pros and cons of issues, and achieve principled bipartisan compromise, that we can help congress and the administration to do their job better. now in order to get those part sons to sit down at the table, we need to elect them in the first place. i was talking to charlie cook last night, like a lot of folks my ange in washington, d.c., i owe

something similar is happening with charlie crist. the most of -- the most enthusiastic voters right now are on the right, the people that show up for the tea parties. they are going to have to find a way, the republican party, to keep those voters involved and active. this same thing happened with that the democrats after the 2004 election. lots of people were saying that they would hurt the party. but the democratic party was able to incorporate the network voters while reaching out to the middle. then we have 2006 and 2008, with barack obama in the white house. host: democratic line, good morning. caller: i am listening to what your saying about sarah palin being down to earth, but we should not confuse the language of the people with being simplistic and naive. god help us, her whole approach on the view of things is so simplistic and night eve. the world is not like that. it is much more complex than that, much more complex than sarah palin is allowing it to be. about this attack on her, as another person said, just listen to wha

something similar is happening with charlie crist and mark rubio. the most enthusiastic voters right now are in the right, people who show up at tea party, the people who do the marches. and if the republican party wants future, they're going to have to find a way to get those voters involved and active. remember it's the same thing that happened with democrats after the 2004 election. at first a lot of people saying about the numbers, they're going to hurt the party. well, the democratic artie was able to incorporate it but also reaching out to the middle. and then we have 2006 with iraq obama in the white house. >> host: democratic line, good morning. elko good morning, how are you. and i think they're confused as to give the language of the people are very simplistic and naÏve. i mean, god help us i'd approach in her own view of things is so simplistic and so naÏve in the world was not like that. the world was much more complex thinking and they are capable of, you know, about. just listen to what she said during her interviews and you will see

i pulled some information off a website called the charlie project. they cover a lot of missing kids. earlier today, when i was looking at it, they have information on paul leonard baker, who is in fact susan baker's stepson. back in 1987, she claims she put him to bed and that he simply vanished. unfortunately, investigators were coming through a lot of that information and they were able to find out he may have possibly been abused and other things going on at the time. when this happened with baby shannon, investigators said, hey, susan was one of the people we looked at right away, based on her criminal history. >> you have not only the 3-year-old, we also have her 6-year-old daughter who was also abused, let me read off some of these charges, this lady was convicted of assault and battery with intent to kill. her 6-year-old daughter had broken hands, sores on her back. the sentence again, john, i'll go to you on this, ten year sentence suspended to 80 days. how does that happen? it shouldn't happen but it did. this is a recurring event in a lot o

he and his staff completely outcoached charlie and his staff and there's been whining that's come out of south bend since that game because those guys are bad losers and bad people but kenny and his guys from top to bottom deserve that win. >> it was a great win and then i thought the tougher task that coaches have to deal with is after a big win getting their guys refocussed and going right back into a tough one and delaware is not a bad team. they're a team that put up a fight against you. was it difficult to get them refocus and had how were you able to do? >> all we can do is try to tell them what's coming and what's to be expected but ultimately those are the guys on the field and preached all week and a lot of the guys were in the '07 game and know how good this team is. we're 1-2 against them the last couple of years and we preached all week do not get complacent. this is a very, very good delaware team and unfortunately it took us a half to realize that and we were able to pull it out in the second half. >> it was a delaware team playing for their lives and they're on the bubb

but back to charlie's point, i work for governor schwarzenegger and ran his campaign. that was a post-partisan campaign. but there were sharp issue conflicts of a range of issues in the state. charlie's point to that campaigns are a contest of ideas, post-partisanship means to me that we do not question each other's motives and intentions. for example, on health care, i think it is misguided, but i do not think it is born out of malice toward the american people. we ought not to say in our campaigns that criticizing your opponent's record or contras and on ideas is in and of itself inappropriate. to impose this silly self- censorship, that is now with the country is all about. >> raise your hand. check it out. i will repeat it. >> [unintelligible] >> gary mandrake, when i was growing appear, we had one of the grid is congressmen of all times. he represented [unintelligible] he ended up being a great coup for the civil rights compromise is that were done. as soon as they left the state, it was carved up so that you had an inner-city districts that bill jefferson got and

>> no, i cannot, charlie. i refer you to what the white house has said -- after thanksgiving, early december. >> just one more question on this. is there anything you can add to what the president said about his policy will be aimed at finishing the job? >> is aimed at finishing the job? i think we all want to make sure the mission is done there, the message of destroying al qaeda and of giving the afghan government the wherewithal to provide for their own security and provide services to their own people and deny terrorists a safe haven. christophe. >> you say the secretary will consult with your allies after the president's announcement, so will she ask them to send more troops to afghanistan? >> i think that this is something for the countries themselves to work out. i think that the secretary general of nato has approached the allies, and i think that nato looks for to playing a role in how we go forward with afghanistan. but it is not accurate for us to say that we are going to make any demands on our all

very quickly, much of larsojeff, charlie black, steve schmidt, hilary rosen. she was chairman of the r i a a and a founder of the rock the vote. ted divine, you have had 17 winning democratic campaigns. you work for kerry and gore. but we also have the former communications director for the democratic national committee. if a political consultant feel strongly about something for the good of the campaign and the government, what influence do they have on what the candidate will say? are you really just a hired gun? >> we believe in the candidates. in some cases, we work with people that we have known for many many years. we might have influence on them. there are many public policy issues that are not clear black- and-white issues. and a lot of people even if they have a strong set of principles have to think about it and analyze it and determine where they come down on something. sometimes we have influence but 99% of your job is to figure out where that candidate stands 10 to make sure that he or she does do their homework and be prepared to take positions o

from charlie, she said i'll only read books on paper. that's how my parents read to me and that the only way i'll do it. [applause] and then she went off with an expletive or two on a certain electronic reading device that we won't mention. so will he said when asked about, you know, the existence of teenage readers who get excited when they opened the kenyon review. we do exist, she yelled. and we like books and we can't or don't want to stare at screens all day. [applause] and then a kid named joseph, he is a cartoonist who has been with me since he was eight. and he's an incredibly astute reader and a very passionate guy. he said, if there was a perfume that smells like oaks, i'd buy a lot of it. [laughter] i let them swear once a class. that was that one. and then finally there was one more student, his name is casey, and he sits in the back. he says very literally, he's very shy and has very long here that he grows very long so no one can see his eyes. i said, what would you say to anyone who is doubting sort of the future of the pr

what was going on there, with both katie couric and charlie gibson is you have these morning tv hosts who are normally doing, you know, inexpensive getaways and here's a nice souffle recipe. charlie gibson and katie couric are not names -- they're dropping around the new york review of books to get street cred as an intellectual and this was katie couric trying to impress the editors of "the new york times" by coming up with this sort of quiz show question. like the guy who had the question of name the leader of swazyland or whatever to george bush when he was running for office. they come up with these quiz show questions. what are the last five books you've read? okay, katie, what are your five favorite operas. >> newspapers and magazines will tell a person what informs your world view. >> no, it was trying to be snippy and i think sarah palin is absolutely right. look, obama was never asked, name, you know, your favorite books and magazines. >> okay. >> and moreover, i think sarah palin was absolutely right that whatever answer she gave, it would be jumped on. i mean, my guess is,

have it taken -- only to have it taken away, and why one casino is telling a not so lucky guy, sorry, charlie. >>> republicans may be on the comeback trail, the gop swept two big gubernatorial races, new jersey, chris christi there defeated incumbent democrat jon corzine and in virginia bob mcdo notal crushed creigh deeds. it may not be a direct referendum on president obama, though, but it's a punch that leaves a bit of a bruise. the president came up short after personally campaigning hard for both democrats. it may signal trouble for the democrats in the 2010 midterm elections. on the upside, though, exit polls show the majority of voters say president obama's job performance was not a factor in their vote. the virginia loss may sting the most, though, for the republican camp trounced by 51% to 41%. last year president obama was the first democrat to carry virginia in more than four decades. he won that over by taking a large proportion of independent voters there. but mcdonnell won independents by more than 20 points. >>> so the really victories may be tempered by the big loss of a congre

. >> your point about florida, if you run to charlie crist, leaving aside florida -- >> guest: no one is -- if barack obama stood up tomorrow in the democratic party and said i have a great idea. george bush's tax cuts are terrific, the best thing ever. what do you think would happen to him in the democratic party? he would have stepped out of the mainstream at that point. charlie crist has to be the guy who steps out of the mainstream of the republican party and independents. >> host: does olympia snowe need to win back the party to win back the majority? >> guest: republicans who believe in the principles that republicans and independentss believe, probably shouldn't spend more than you taken or of the degeneration is that that gounod's how high they will pay, you should have more faith in people to grow the economy bottom up than a few smart guys in washington. those are things republicans generally believe and as long as republicans do, and inclusive message that brings more people in and by the way we are really democrat light and you can embarrass a republican, half of one. that
