So this past weekend we had the 360 holiday party. As far as I know there were no terribly embarrassing incidents. You know the kind of thing, when, late at night, you decide you really, really have to tell your boss what you've always thought of him. No one seemed particularly sheepish this morning in the office, so unless some incriminating photos suddenly surface, it was a successful party. There was an after party that involved karaoke, and who knows what else, but I got sleepy and didn't attend. The truth is I've never understood the appeal of karaoke, and being asked to sing some song by Journey just seems like a nightmare to me.
Tonite Mike Huckabee is on Larry King, so we thought we'd start our broadcast with a look at his record. He is without a doubt one of the more personable men on the campaign trail and voters are responding to that, but how much do people really know about his record? Not much. Tonight we'll fill in the gaps, and also look at a number of the endorsements that have occurred over the weekend. Do endorsements by newspapers or celebrities make a difference to you? Do they influence your vote? My guess is they don't, but I'd be curious to hear from you.
We're also looking in depth tonight at witness protection programs across the country. You may remember the story I did for 60 Minutes about the "Stop Snitchin" movement, encouraging people not to talk to police. Well, those who are brave enough to come forward are often left unprotected. Randi Kaye reveals the extent of the problem tonite.
See you later!
