O'BRIEN: Welcome back, everybody. It is time to "Get Real" this morning on STARTING POINT. Now, you know in Alaska, of course, they sort of mock those of us in the northeast when we complain about six inches of snow or eight inches of snow or even ten inches of snow because that's not really a snowpocalypse as we call it. But in Cordova, Alaska, it's a fishing town that's accessible only by air or water in winter. National Guard troops have been called in to dig people out of their homes. Why? Because they have 18 feet of snow, piles are 18 feet deep. Why do they need the military to help dig them out? They have no more shovels left in that town. They had been waiting for a shipment that didn't come in time. They got two more feet of snow overnight which means that there's no way those shipments are coming in and the shovels that they do have in the town have been snapping because there's so much snow and ice. So forget "Get Real" this morning. Get help digging out for the folks who are in Cordova, Alaska. Ahead this morning on STARTING POINT, we're going to talk to Governor Mitt Romney live. He's fresh off a big victory last night. Now he faces a different kind of voter though in South Carolina. We're going to talk to him about that challenge and about his strategy. There's the governor right there. Also, how many of us are binge drinking? The number was shocking, even to the researchers. We're going to talk about that straight ahead on STARTING POINT. We're back in just a moment.
No Shovels and 18 Feet of Snow
