Governor romney vowed not to, quote, fall off the map. you know romney well. what do you think is next for him? well, i don t know for sure what his next step will be. i know it won t include taking a voluntary position with the church. i know that the campaign itself is the people who have worked on the campaign for the last eight years are pretty depressed bunch. it s my view they really expected to win on tuesday night. i still think they re in shock that things didn t go their way. but among the kinds of things that he might consider doing, obviously he s going to take at least a figure head role in the firm his son ais involved in. that will be a figure head thing. certainly not fulfilling to him. but the kind of thing he might ....
With me, democratic strategist, richard goodstein, and fellow south carolinaen and former cham chairman of the south carolina republican party. the petraeus announcement. what do you make of the timing? well craig, he s not the first soldier ever to stray from his marital values and certainly won t be the last. it s probably a shame to diminish this from his brilliant military record in my heart certainly goes out to he and his family. we ve seen the carnage of public figures that do this in south carolina and all over the country. the timing, it is what it is, craig. i don t think it would have had any effect on the election. certainly it s a tragic thing for his family. but you know, the end of the day, i don t think it would have impacted any of the swing states or the election totals. because i think general petraeus did what he s supposed to do. resign from office and did the honorable thing. richard, do you think this is ....
