next week jend for father's day, we'll bring the story of my frnd nick charles, the father of a young girl, now suddenly confronted with his mortality. what would you do? he's looking to make the most of the rest of his life. we're calling it "nick charles lessons from the fight" next weekend right here on "sgmd." that does it for today's program. thanks for being with us this morning. time to get you back inside the "cnn newsroom" for a check your top stories making news right now. hello there, everybody. from the cnn center in atlanta, georgia, this is your cnn sunday morning for this uni12th. i'm t.j. holmes, thank you for being here. just in this morning -- what a sight to see -- the first photo of congresswoman gabrielle giffords' face since she was shot by a gunman at the beginning of this year. we will share this photo and the details, again, photos just coming out this morning and we'll be sharing them with you.

also, we have really stirred the pot on this one, folks. a lot of you all chiming in on facebook and twitter about stories in the bible, things you think are in there, but actually are not. jonah actually wasn't swallowed by the whale. and baby jesus wasn't actually visited by three wise men. this is not coming from me, folks. we've got a biblical scholar in to go through some of the things you think are in the bible but are not really there. that's in our "faces of faith" this morning. let's get right to the new pictures of arizona congresswoman gabrielle giffords. they are the first up-close photos of giffords since that shooting in tucson in january. two pictures have been posted on her facebook page but they were actually taken on may 17th by a photo journalist by the name of p.k. weis. this second photo shows her smiling, shorter hair.

different color, darker hair but still it is remarkable. that woman was shot in the head at the beginning of this year. she continues to recover. this is one photo here. the other one you saw a moment ago, that's her with her mom. they were actually taken the day after the launch of "endeavour" and before she had surgery on her skull. now the photographer issued a statement. let me read it to you, in part, it says, any photographer in the country would have loved the opportunity to take these photos and i was delighted to be asked. i've known gabby for more than a decade and her staff asked mow to do it because she wanted someone who was not a stranger, someone she would be comfortable around. the photos were taken in her room and in an area outside the hospital. the photographer goes on to say, it was very inspiring to see how much she had recovered in 4 1/2 months. i was excited to see her and to see her smile. she was glad to see me, was in a good mood, smiling and laughing and seemed to enjoy the experience. i certainly did, too."

meanwhile, we're also getting this this morning. a report that says giffords will leave a houston, texas rehab facility this month. the arizona congresswoman's spokesman telling the houston chronicle giffords will become an out-patient. let's turn to some politics hee here now an let's turn to the scandal that's really rocked washington for the past couple of weeks now. congressman anthony weiner has announced he's taking a contrary break from the capitol hill but the power brokers in his own party want that break to be a permanent one. weiner has admitted sending lewd pictures of himself to women he met online. one of the girls he contacted is just 17 years old, though he says he had no inproappropriate contact with her. yesterday he said he needed a leave of absence to become a better husband but still isn't ready to resign. >> you've been reaching out to a number of people. can you tell me what about

advise? have you spoken to the clintons? how are they advising you is. >> i'm having conversations with people, you know, friends, neighbors, members of the family. look, i made some serious mistakes here and i have to redeem myself and i'm going to try to get back to work. but these were personal failings so i'm trying not to let them get in the way of my professional work. >> not get in the way of work. that doesn't seem like a possibility anymore. a source telling cnn that democratic leaders set a deadline of saturday morning for weiner to step down on his own. when he didn't, they let him have it. this from debby wasserman schultz. >> it is a distraction for representative weiner, his family, constituents and the house. for the good of all, he should step aside. >> then this -- "anthony's inappropriate behavior has been an insurmountable distraction to the house," that from the head of the democratic congressional campaign committee.

nancy pelosi who already called for an ethics investigation says "i urge the congressman to seek that help without the pressures of being a member of congress." the response -- congressman weiner takes the views of his colleagues very seriously and has determined that he needs this time to get healthy and make the decision possible for hick self-his family and his constituents. last hour i spoke with dana bash about how rare these resignation calls are. >> reporter: this doesn't happen with members of congress in their own party very much at all. nancy pelosi for example has never, ever called for somebody in her own party to resign. so yes, public pressure is real but you're absolutely right, there's really -- just by evidence of the fact that with all of this pressure, he's still not going. he's saying that he is seeking treatment, he's apparently at the treatment center, according to his staff. he is taking a leave of absence. i'm told that what he said in

these type of conversations is that he wants to wait for his wife to return to the company. his wife is a top aide to hillary clinton. they've been traveling abroad as part of their official duties. she's supposed to get back midweek this week. can can make life very difficult for him in the congress but it is very hard for them to actually officially kick him out. >> so can congressman weiner save his reputation? can he save his job? in a few minutes we're talking with and image consultant about what steps he can maybe take to turn things around. the u.s. military now saying five u.s. soldiers killed last week in baghdad were likely targeted by shiite militias attempting to claim credit for driving u.s. forces out of iraq. the americans died when several rockets slammed into a shia neighborhood. also a group of u.s. congressmen have apparently worn out their welcome in iraq. government there saying it's time for them to go.

comments about possible war crimes and repayment for the war didn't sit too well iraq's leaders. california republican dana rohrabacher who was with iraq's prime minister in this picture, rohrabacher floated the idea that iraq's government should repay the u.s. for the invasion and continued support operations in the country. here's what afp is reporting he said -- i'm quoting -- "once iraq becomes a very rich and prosperous country, we would hope that some consideration be given to repaying the united states some of the mega dollars pa we have spent here in the last eight years." cnn yet to independently confirm that quote. the u.s. embassy was quick to distance themselves from the delegation saying the congressmen were not speaking for the u.s. administration. here we are now six weeks after osama bin laden was killed and now another top al qaeda operative is dead in east africa. kenyan and u.s. officials tell cnn that fazle abdullah mohammed was killed at a somali

checkpoint in mog adishu. he was on the fbi's most wanted terrorist list with a $5 million bounty on his head. twin bombings in pakistan killed 34 people in the northwestern city of peshawar. 94 others wound. the first blast went off in a bathroom at a restaurant and as rescue workers responded to that explosion, a suicide bomber detonated another bomb. we have yet to here a claim of responsibility. meanwhile in neighboring afghanistan, the united nations called the month of may the deadliest for afghan civilians since 2007. 368 people killed last month was also the deadliest for international troops this year. 57 isaf soldiers were killed in may, 20 have been killed so far this month. to the u.s., cities of oakland and los angeles are bracing for protests for tomorrow's scheduled release of

johannes mehserle from the l.a. county jail. he he was convicted of the new year's day killing of oscar grant in 2009, an unarmed black passenger. this was caught on cell phone video. it inflamed racial tensions at the time. the victim's family says mehserle's early release after just a year behind bars is simply a travesty. >> it was painful to us as a family. there was no accountability. there was no justice in that courtroom. >> he did less than half of the time that michael vick served for abusing some animals, so it's a perversion of justice. >> police in oakland and los angeles say they are prepared for these planned protests. a volcano in chile is now causing air travel problems thousands of miles away in australia as well as new zealand. this thick black cloud is drifting west. the eruptions keep spitting this ash into the air. quantas airlines has canceled

more than 20 flights because of the dangerous conditions. our airlines changing routes and flying at lower altituded to try to avoid the ash cloud. folks in eastern arizona and western new mexico should be able to relate to that massive wildfire. it just keeps burning and spreading. reynold wolf keeping a close eye on the weather conditions out there which have not been that helpful. >> really haven't. what they need is they need the kind of conditions they normally have, say from november through april. we're talking about a monsoon type season but unfortunately we've got a ways to go before we get to that time of year. it is very dry, breezy, wind expected to increase later on today. current conditions are as follows. take a look, we see some rainfall forming way up towards salt lake city and into parts of nevada and utah, also some into the central plains but nothing to be said for much the four corners. going to remain very dry and another big issue, winds very strong out of the southwest will spread a lot of the smoke to places like albuquerque, perhaps

over towards el paso before the day is out. a lot of people who have respiratory issues and smoke certainly will not help. >> reynolds, we appreciate you. we'll check in with you again. well, folks, we're going to take to you church this morning. a lot of people are chiming in already. but do you know how many wise men visited baby jesus? you'll probably say three. and my guess says you would be wrong. also, jonah was swallowed by a whale. everybody knows that story. right? wrong again. it seems there's a bit of difference in what we think the scripture says and what is actually written. you need to stick around for our "faces of faith" this morning. also coming up next, congressman anthony weiner facing a pr crisis. is there really anything he can do to save his reputation. one minute away from asking a branding expert what the congressman needs to do to turn things around. a network of possibilities. in here, the planned combination

12 minutes past the hour. congressman anthony weiner says he wants to be a better husband so he's taking a temporary break from congress to seek professional help. he is still refusing right now to resign his seat. >> he can stay, but he needs to be careful what he does. you know? i mean people are watching you. you really have to be careful. >> i think it would be kind of hard for him to gain people's trust after something like this. so, you know, that's probably his decision, but i definitely wouldn't trust him after something like this. >> i don't know if he should resign. it's, you know, he's a human being. he made a mistake. but i think he's a pervert, yeah, for sure. >> all right. well is there anything the congressman can really do right now to try to turn things around? peter shankman is a branding and social media consultant, also

the author of "can we do that, outrageous pr stunts that work." he joins me now from new york. good morning to you, kind sir. i guess two different things here. it is one thing he maybe can save his reputation down the road and rebuild it, but do you think he can do something to save his job right now? >> it's a really tough situation he's in and he's not making it any easier on his self. who does a leave of absence in the house? everything he's been asked to do he's figuring out ways around it and different ways to do it. what he's doing is prolonging the scandal. if he was smart he would -- if i were advising him i would say, look, you have to go away. resign the seat, take a few years, let people forget but. then you can come back, rebill your image. we love nothing more in this country after ripping people down an bringing them back up but he has to take that first step as long as it's still a major story -- >> it sounds like at this point you're saying he should just give up on trying to save the job. >> he really should.

the biggest mistake he made was lying to begin with. had he come clean when it firsthand, yeah, i did this, i screwed up, it would have been an eight-hour story. but everything he's done against that, it wasn't me, it was a hack job, it was this, it was that, it continues to grow and the fact is he is taking attention away from actual issues in congress that people are dealing with. no one knows -- no one remembers this week that democrats went crazy on the republicans' medicare terms and all these things are happening and we're focusing on this only. >> peter, was this a bad idea yesterday to go run errands? i don't know if he was caught off gar by reporters outside, surely he had to know, but he said he was going to the atm. he stopped to pick up some dry cleaning? >> he's carrying a bunch of shirts and he's asking questions, did he think the media was just going to give him the weekend off? it doesn't work like that. got to wonder who's coaching him. >> wonder who's coaching him. how does this play into it as well when you -- i guess everybody's heart goes out to him. it's been the toughest part of

this story, his wife who's just apparently a very likable and popular person within the circles in washington, d.c. and democratic circles. how does she play into this and his i guess resurgence or maybe redoing his image down the road? >> yeah, unfortunately, that's one of the big problems that he has. this woman, from all accounts, is a lovely, lovely woman who's been dragged into this. you have to think also she's pregnant now. that means if he tries to keep his job in six or seven months when she does give birth this whole story's going to resurface again. literally the best thing he can do, if he steps down, you know, he goes and maybe they move somewhere and she has the kid, everything stays private. there's nothing to follow through. then in a couple of years he comes back, it's happened to senators, it's happened to governors of new york. this is nothing in you but he needs to go away for a while for a new start. >> peter, your advice would be to go away literally for years. okay. but what if he insists on

staying in the job. what is your advice then? >> well, the question becomes can he do his job effectively when essentially all of his co-workers don't want him there. so the question becomes, can he make any real change in politics, can he make legislation, can he do anything when he has a co-worker situation where no one really wants him there. if he believes he can and he tries and he can, you know, maybe there's some hope for him. but what we're seeing yesterday, multiple calls for him to step down, it doesn't seem like that's possible right now. things can change, of course. but right now that doesn't seem like it's possible. >> and no more interviews. god, no. >> peter, we appreciate you spending some time with us on this cnn sunday morning. enjoy the rest of your weekend. >> you, too. 17 minutes past the hour. this was happening at one of the most prestigious and exhausting car races in france. two frightening crashes. you won't believe them when you see them and you certainly won't

believe that the drivers walk out of there. also, a little later, she is one of the most popular members of the obama administration. what does the future hold now for hillary clinton. >> if the president is releaked do you want to serve a second term as secretary of state? >> no. >> would you like to serve as secretary of defense? >> no. >> would you like to be vice president of the united states? >> no. my cream is what makes stouffer's fettuccini alfredo so delicious. i think you'll find it's the vegetables. deliciously rich. flavorful!

here with our friend joe carter from hln sports. good to have you here an it is always fascinating to see these crashes and the guys just walk out of these race cars. >> yesterday's crash was the type of video that essentially stopped me in my tracks. no pun intended. i was literally walking by the tv and saw it happen and thought -- holy cow. this is at the 24-hour le mans. this driver clips another car which sends him into the barrier. his car is shredded. now the look on the face of his

crew says it all. they look mortified. again, no one -- no one -- not even a spectator was hurt in this race. as you see the driver walking away from his car there. but incredible that nobody was even caught by a piece of debris. >> that's a good point to make as well. they go out of their way these races, these different circuits to protect the driver and audience. they've learned some lessons over the years. >> so horse racing yesterday, belmont stakes. it's been now 33 years since we're going to see a triple crown winner. long shot wins yesterday, 24-1 long shot and the race was predicted to be a duel between derby winner animal kingdom and previous winner shackleford. that was animal kingdom's jockey almost fell off the horse coming out of the guy. but ruler on ice didn't run in the previous two races, showed up to the track 24 hours before

the race, pulled off the huge upset. a $2 bet paid out $51.50. eighth highest payout in pbelmot history. shackleford finished fifth, animal kingdom sixth. >> this battle between dwyane wade, lebron james and dirk nowitski is not just on the court. >> dwyane wade and lebron james deny making fun of or mocking dirk nowitski for being sick. as a matter of fact, dwyane wade said they staged the woel thing, it was all scripted so the media would take the bait. >> i just thought it was a little childish, a little ignorant. i've been in this league for 13 years and i never faked an injury or an illness before. but that's just -- it happened, it's over to me. it's not going to add anything extra to me. this is the nba finals. if you need an extra motivation, you have a problem.

the government somewhere is actually telling people to ditch what i'm wearing, show up in shorts to work. >> absolutely. because with the destruction of the fukushima daiichi plant, there is a big problem with energy and the government is mandating that air conditioning can be only 82 degrees. so imagine that. we've had a hot summer already here in atlanta. so they're saying let's embark on something called a super cool biz campaign. was originated in 2005 to combat global warming but they've reinstated it. you're looking at the various aloha shirts and polo shirts. also wearing loafers and just a much more casual, much cooler look. but it is quite interesting if you think about it. your suit gives you three

things -- structure, proportion and fit. so think about now having much more casual clothes, how do you do that and especially with the japanese who are very formal. so it really is hard for some of the japanese to be doing this. but absolutely necessary because it is 82 degrees in sweltering summer. >> is there much resistance to this from the people? >> there's been very interesting and mixed response. some people still want to wear their suits because that's what they're used to and that's what they're comfortable in. think of you right now, you'd look so different if you weren't wearing a suit. it would give you much less authority because the shoulders give you structure, proportion, fit. some people are finding it difficult. and a lot of people have just embraced it and said, look, this is the way and there's been a huge sale in the aloha shirts, what we think of as hawaiian shirts. >> can you still show up in your suit if you want to but you are going to burn up. >> no. there's a great suggestion and a huge drive by actually the environmental ministry to say wear more casual clothes pop .

so there's actually a drive. there's other things in japan as well, like vending machines. so a vending machine that gives you your ice cold drink? they're saying, please, we no longer want air conditioning in vending machines. we are trying to curb all energy by 15%. the other thing that japanese are well known for are -- >> cars. >> yes. and heated toilet seats. >> well, you got me on that one. >> even in public places, they often have heated toilet seats. so i don't think you're going to be getting heated toilet seats in japan. no longer marijuana in amsterdam and no longer heated toilet seats in japan. >> where will i go for vacation now. is this something they'll push temporarily while they get over this whole crisis or -- >> well, is it going to be temporary to get over it? i mean this is years long. remember they embarked on this in 2005 really over the last year there's been a huge drive and a major push. that's the destruction of the fukushima daiichi plant and the impact that it's having.

but certainly they say necessity is the mother of invention. and what people are having to do to deal with the circumstances they dealt with. >> interesting stuff, change is coming to japan and certainly they are necessary right now. thank you so much. you know this story, the wise men in the bible? how many wise men were there in the bible? >> i always thought there were three. >> that's not right. i just found this out this morning. did you know, folks, there were not three wise men and they didn't show up to bring something to baby jesus. all right, don't take my word for this. i have a scholar here who is going to explain that what you think is in the bible is not really there. that is in our "faces of faith" coming up.

congresswoman. this morning we are just getting. these are the first up-close photos of giffords that we are seeing since that shooting in tucson in january. two photos appear on facebook on her page and were taken may 17th by a photographer by the name of p.k. weis who has work for a photo journalist for four decades. one of the pictures shows the congresswoman with her mother. they were taken the day after the launch of "endeavour" and the day before she had surgery on her skull. the photographer issued a statement saying, "any photographer in the country would have loved for the opportunity to take these pictures and i was delighted to be asked. i've known gabby for more than a decade and her staff asked me to do it because she wanted someone who is not a stranger, someone she would be comfortable around. the photos were taken in her room and in an area outside the hospital." the photographer goes on to say that it was a very inspiring moment to see how much she had recovered in 4 1/2 months. i was excited to see her and to see her smile. she was blood glad to see me.

news we're getting this morning she could possibly be leaving the houston, texas rehab facility soon. cnn has now confirm reports that the arizona congresswoman will leave the rehab center before the end of this month. she will remain in texas to continue therapy as an outpatient. scripture tells you that all things shall pass. this, too, shall pass. >> scripture doesn't tell you that! that was mike ditka quoting the bible, supposedly, one day after he was fired as the head coach of the chicago bears back in 1993. now he thought he was quoting the bible. you may have as well. the quote he mentions, this, too, shall pass, it's mott in the bible. neither are a lot of other

things we say or have heard over the years. that's according to an article that's called "actually that's not in the bible." it's on cnn.com. dr. brent strong, a friend of our show, old testament professor at emory university, ordained minister as well. where did "this, too, shall pass" come from? >> evidently from a common recurring verbal form that's used in the king james version and it says "it came to pass that," and it just occurs so many times that evidently it's common into common parlance that "this, too, shall pass." >> "god helps those who help themselves." you're telling me that's not in the bible either? >> no, benjamin franklin said that. actually it goes back before benjamin franklin all the way back to aesop's fables. >> here's another one -- god works in mysterious ways. where's that one come from.

>> not in the bible. technically some versus seem to support the idea but it comes really from a 19th century hymn "god moves in mysterious ways." >> the next one, cleanliness is next to godliness. where does this one come from? >> john westly in the 18th century and frances bacon before him. again some passages seem to support the idea but nothing quite like that. the cleanliness the bible talks about is religious purity, not whether your fingernails are clean. >> "spare the rod, spoil the child." now it's kind of, sort of, in the bible but it is not really verbatim like this. >> that's right. there's something sort of like this in proverbs 13 and a few other passages that talk about disciplining children but it doesn't have anything to do with spoiling the child but rather that discipline is part of parental instruction and love. >> how do we get to this point? is this just that i don't know, we kind of adapt some of the things that are in the bible to put them in a form that's more

consumer friendly, if you will? >> yeah, partly. i think partly paraphrase, partly just making it accessible, memorizing it or getting it into a short memorable form. >> now here are several. now we're really about to stir the pot here. we got several we're going to put up here but the idea of three wise men bringing gifts to baby jesus. this one messed me up this morning. when i was told there actually weren't necessarily three wise men and jesus wasn't necessarily a baby. can we put up luke 2:7 here, and she brought forth her first born son, wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn." that was earlier in the bible when jesus was actually a baby. but matthew 2:1 says now when jesus was born in bethlehem in judea in the days of herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east of jerusalem. >> the three seem to come from the number of gifts they bring,

gold, frankincense and myrrh. >> baby jesus, we've seen all these nativity scenes. i've been to plenty of church plays. i see three wise men bringing this little baby gifts. jesus wasn't really a baby at the time. >> the luke version jesus is a baby but in the matthew version it may be later, they're in a house now instead of at the manger and there's this discussion about herod killing all the children 2 years and under. he may have been up to 2 years old. >> this is the other one you talk about here, when they were coming to the house they saw the young child with mary, his mother. let's try to get these last two in here. this was about eve. everybody knows eve was in the garden of eden -- actually, this is the one about jonah. let me use this one, guys. the lord has prepared a great fish to swallow up jonah. everybody assumes it was a whale. why? >> right. it's not clear. the text itself says big fish and sometimes just fish. so what big fish could possibly

swallow a person? i suppose it would be a whale. i guess it comes from that common deduction. >> but it could have been jaws. everyone assumed eve ate what off the tree? we assume it was an apple. >> right. >> but the text says, the woman saw the true was good for food and she took of the fruit and did eat. why did we assume it was an apple. >> i'm not sure where that one comes from. who knows exactly? but even more of issue in that same story is that the serpent isn't really satan. never says that that snake is the devil. >> you've messed me up this morning. you can't believe the conversations we've had. is it interpretation or people just not taking the time to read closely enough? what is it really. >>? >> it's several things. in terms of misquotation, it's been said there are more unread copies of the bible than any other book in the world. in terms of paraphrasing, it is something we do when we

interpret. we like something, we tell someone about it, we put it in our own words and that's part of the natural process of interpretation. but as you know, good interpretation depends on precision and accuracy. right? otherwise you end up quoting ben franklin. not bad but it is not the bible. >> it is so good to have you back with us and to break some of this stuff down. people thought i was crazy when i said there weren't three wise men necessarily but the explanation here from the expert. john blake's article that's called "actually that's not in the bible," it was a big hit on cnn.com. check it out on our believe blog, cnn.com/belief. back to politics in a moment. newt gingrich stunned by staffers jumping shut but he says he'll carry on anyway. we'll tell you where he is headed now in our political ticker.

i know that it is not your job. what i'm saying... excuse me? alright, fine. no, you don't have to do it. ok? [ male announcer ] notre dame knows it's better for xerox to control its printing costs. so they can focus on winning on and off the field. [ manager ] are you sure i can't talk -- ok, no, i get it. [ male announcer ] with xerox, you're ready for real business. if you have painful, swollen joints, i've been in your shoes. one day i'm on p of the world... the next i'm saying... i have this thing called psoriatic arthritis. i had some intense pain. it progressively got worse. my rheumatologist told me about enbrel. i'm surprised how quickly my symptoms have been managed. [ male announcer ] because enbrel suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common.

don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if, while on enbrel, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. get back to the things that matter most. good job girls. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. host: could switching to geico 15% or more on car insurance? host: what, do you live under a rock? man: no way! man: hey rick check this out! anncr: geico. 15 minutes could save 15% or more on car insurance.

all right. 12 minutes to the top of the hour. always a good time to have a little candy on a sunday morning. candy crowley, host of "state of the union," in new hampshire where the big cnn debate is happening. but you're going to focus on one guy that is not going to be in the debate. >> jon huntsman, former governor of utah, former ambassador to china under president obama who

has been back in the country since resigning as am to president obama in china and kind of out here, more, by the way, than any other candidate, more events in new hampshire than any other official candidate. he's going to get in and so we were with him yesterday, follow him around to a couple of events also on friday. i wanted to sit down say what are your intentions. hard man to get to sit down but we did catch up with him on campaign trail. we are going to talk all things new hampshire and all things political. also senator kelly ayad and charlie bass to talk about the scene here as well as the scene back in washington. so john sununu and two journalists, one from the "wall street journal" and one from

"the washington post." you'll know everything by the end of the hour. >> we usually do. just one hour is all you need with candy crowley. candy, we're under direct orders from our managers to just sell this debate takes coming up on monday. it is a big deal, we know it is. but really, help me understand here how much is really at stake for these candidates this early on. can you do something and really mess up your chances moving down the road or can you propel yourself to a higher status in the race by doing well in the debate that's this early? >> see, 100 years ago you'd probably mess up in a debate and people would forget about it. but see now we have this thing where it can replay over an over and over again, every day, on youtube it is available or we play it on cnn. whatever it happens to be. it doesn't matter. but it is -- look. this is kind of a scene setter. it is the first time mitt romney has been in the debate. he's the front-runner here. how will they all react to him?

how are they going to stand up? we've got seven people up there, who stands out? but does this one debate -- let's just say nobody makes a huge gaffe. does this one debate matter? it does because it sets the scene but it's the totality of the debates from the beginning to the end where the country really gets to see, over time, how the candidates develop and what they seem to be like, at least as far as they come across on the television screen. so it's important to start it off. i mean new hampshire, come on, the's important. >> i got to run. give me two names, just two names you're going to be watching closely who have a lot at stake. >> well, mitt romney because he's the front-runner so he's the big old target. i'll be watching to see how they go after him and tim pawlenty who i think may be the not-romney candidate. >> candy crowley, always good to see you. you can see candy in just about 8 minutes and 30 seconds.
