SCARBOROUGH: (singing) “We shall overcome.”
GEIST: “So yesterday before the verdict came in, he was going out his home, going to court, just whistling and Elvis tune.”

SCARBOROUGH: “All shook up.”

We learned yesterday two of the Republican presidential candidates staffers quit...The campaign saying this is not really a big deal...
