now new details about the charges the ship's captain and first officer could face. we'll take you live to italy. imagine your child being put into this storage closet at school. teachers call it the scream room and they have no problem sending students there. we're going to explain why. and you're looking at live pictures also from coppenhagen, denmark, and thousands of danes are celebrating their queen's 40-year reign. and we start with the rescue just moments ago from the italian cruise ship that's sitting on its side. we're hearing that one of the ship's crew members was found in a restaurant on the ship. this comes more than 24 hours after this ship hit a sand bar and rolled over. the ship is mostly under water,

as can you see there. divers jumped back in the water this morning to continue their search for survivors or victims. south korean couple was also found alive overnight in one of the ship's cabins. journalist barbie nado is near the island in italy, and she joins me now by phone. barbie, first of all, look around. describe what you're seeing. >> reporter: all right. right now i am on a ferry that is just about meters away from this boat. there's massive wreckage in the water. every time i see it it's incredible. you can see the divers. can you see the rescue crews. you can see movement inside the ship right now. can you see the wind on the ship. the curtains askew. you can see a lot of movement, helicopters above. there they had a rescue not too long ago. they're very optimistic. the rescuers are looking forward to finding some of the 38 other

missing that are still unaccounted for on this ship. right now, though, the focus is on the upper part of the ship where the rescue crews are beating on the doors. after they found three people alive in the last 24 hours, they are optimistic that potentially some of the missing people are still in the cabins, either in a situation where they're trapped like the korean couple was or in a situation like the italian who had passed out of hypothermia when they found him in the restaurant area. the situation is still very volatile. there's still a lot of movement. it's still very much a rescue and recovery situation right now. >> and, barbie, we're looking at sh this ship. it's laying on its side, obviously, and it hasn't -- after it initially sank, it really hasn't moved. do the officials, the folks who are inside that ship feel that it's going to come to rest? that this is the position it's going to remain in so it's at

least stable so they can do this search and rescue mission? >> reporter: no. in fact, it's still not stable. the authorities in charge of this rescue operation are still worried that there's some movement of the ship of the vessel itself. they're trying to stabilize that. they're waiting for some equipment to come in. over 50% of the ship right now is under water, but they're really reluctant to let divers stay out there for too long because the ship could still move, still could sink further. i cannot express the credible view of this huge ship, though, in this water off the coast, and the people that have gathered here this morning on this beautiful sunday morning, here to look at this. something you've never seen before and might never see again. >> what's so interesting is that this ship is about 951 feet long. that is the size for our american audience of roughly three and a half football fields

so, we are talking about a massive ship. just think about walking three and a half football fields length to length. let's talk about the captain and the first officer because yesterday you were the first to report that, in fact, the captain had left the ship well before the majority of passengers and crew had disembarked. he is now under arrest. what is going on? what are they questioning him about? what are the charges? >> well, what we're hearing this morning is that both the first officer and the captain are being questioned separately about their actions and what they did in terms of not averting this disaster and why they left the ship before the rest of the passengers. they're both being investigated for manslaughter, multiple manslaughter. there are three confirmed deaths and for abandoning ship, which is a serious maritime -- against the maritime laws.

you know, i think we'll find monday morning when the judicial system is sort of running again. of course, it's a weekend, so offices are closed and things like that. we're probably going to have a magistrate, a judge, make some comments on the investigation or we could even get some information on the nature of the arrest and what they're really looking at, what they're investigating. they are questioning a lot of the passengers. they're questioning many of the crew members that they can. they're recording interrogations just trying to understand what went wrong and why. we're also hearing a lot of very unconfirmed reports that these ships sometimes come close to this island, kind of come off course for regularly the mayor of the tiny little island where this ship wreck occurred told the italian press that this was

a common occurrence for this ship to come to both the shore, either to wave to their friends or to salute them in some way. this comes from the mayor who told the italian press that. we haven't confirmed that ourselves, natalie. >> all right. and, barbie, thanks so much. we really appreciate it. we are going to be checking in with you. we know you have been on site for the last 24 hours. we're very grateful for your eyewitness reports, and we'll check back with you in just a little bit. sdmrimplts well, total chaos on board. that is the way it is being described by passengers who were on the costa concordia. joining me now are two of the survivors from the ship wreck, mario and nancy latharo. you have been describing this. you say that men were actually pushing past women and children in order to get to the life boats. it just sounds like everything was out of control. >> yeah. that is absolutely true. it was completely out of control.

the crew was trying very hard, but they weren't given any information and say they had no information, and it also appeared to us that they didn't have adequate training. we boarded the ship on friday evening. we were only on the cruise for three hours. we expected -- we're previous cruisers, and we expect a fire drill, and it wasn't scheduled until saturday. it did appear as if there was lack of adequate training, although the staff -- the crew was trying very hard. >> talk about that, as a matter of fact. did you find that the crew was somewhat under control, able to direct passengers to where they had to go, able to bring them to the life boats, or was it more the mix of whoever could figure out where to be, that's where they were going to go? >> i actually think it was a combination of both. i think that there were some

crew who seemed to have the good sense to direct people and i also feel that there were many people on the way. we asked people and many crew members didn't know anything, and there were people panicking, and the pushing and screaming and so it was a combination of both. >> describe for us, nancy and mario, describe for us the moments leading up to this, where you were and what happened, what you heard, whether it was an alert or an abandon ship. bring us back a little bit and walk us through the stages as to what was done. >> well, we were in the theater when we heard the noise of the ship hitting the rock, and we felt a shudder in the ship, and it was a magic act, actually, at the time, and the performers' disappearing act.

they just ran off the stauj and took off. there was no communication at all about what was going on. we noticed the ship was tilted a little towards the port side. some people started leaving the theater. we waited a little bit to see what was going, on and we decided to leaf. we went towards the muster station. people were getting life jackets. they weren't deploying the life boats at this time, and people were leaving, and we decided to go up to the top deck and see what was going on, and we were surprised when we got up there how close we were to land. it was dark at the time, and it was probably about 9:30, 9:45, and we were shocked to see we were so close to the land. the lights -- there were lighthouses. then we noticed the ship was leaning and listing towards the other side, toward the starboard side. it seemed to be getting worse,

so we decided to go to our rooms, get our life jackets and our coats, and then go to the muster station where the life boats were. before we left, they did have an announcement. it was probably at least a half hour after we hit that they said there was an electrical problem, a problem with the generators, which we knew that didn't sound right, and shortly after that the lights went out for about five minutes. there was total blackness. then the lights came back on. we had emergency lighting. we made our way to the room, and that's when we were asking people and people didn't know -- the staff did not know what was going on. we then heard the evacuation signal, and we went down to the life boats and by this time they were having trouble deploying the life boats because the ship

was listing so much. >> right. and that's -- all right. well, nancy and mario, thank you so much. we understand also that boats had gone back to their cabins. folks were told to go back to their cabins. clearly all of this right now the subject of a massive criminal investigation by italian authorities to see exactly what orders were given, when those orders were given, and also whether passengers got the right information to get off those ships safely. one person that we spoke with had told us that, in fact, they had no idea where they were supposed to be and this was a crewmember who was on board that ship. all right. thank you so much. well, to give you some perspective, looking at that ship there in the water, the costa concordia is three times as large as the titanic. three and a half football fields. it was at cruising speed, which means it may have been moving around 25 miles an hour, which is pretty fast for a ship that size and that weight. this is about 100,000 tons.

when it hit the leave, it appears to have come to a dead stop. when it was christened in 2006, it was believed to be the biggest cruise ship in all of italy. it's owned by a company called costa cruises, and the parent company is miami-based carnival. another costa ship smashed into a dock in egypt killing three crew members. coming up, we switch to presidential candidate mitt romney. he reached into his pocket, and he hands out money on the campaign trail. find out how much he gave and why he did it. also ahead, would you want your child put in a so-called scream room at school just to calm him down? well, a lot of parents say not a chance. >> it's not your problem. >> so nobody else could hear it. >> i don't care.

well, to politics now and an interesting moment on the campaign trail in south carolina. while sake shaking hands after a

rally in sumpter, mitt romney actually took out his wallet and gave a woman about $50. he had met her earlier in the week. she told him she had no job and was having trouble paying her bills. here's what she told the cnn reporter rachel strayfield after yesterday's rally. >> he was kind to me, and he held on to me. yeah. huh? at the rally. he stopped doing everything and made all the governments and asked if i could find a job. >> as i said, had he first met romney earlier in the week. she says god told her to pray for him. after that first meeting she started working as a volunteer at romney's campaign office in columbia, south carolina. she also tells cnn that south carolina's state treasurer personally paid her lick trick bill. well, rick santorum and newt gingrich will be back out on the trail today. fellow john huntsman, rick

perry, and ron paul. mitt romney has nothing scheduled in south carolina today. they are preparing for two debates this week. one monday and another thursday. can you see that thursday night debate right here on cnn. the cnn southern republican leadership conference debate comes your way thursday night 8:00 p.m. eastern. snow in the northwest today with some watches and warnings out there. meteorologist alexander steel keeping an eye on all of this. i was watching a football game yesterday, the early one, between san francisco and new orleans, and, boy, you could see the steam coming off. >> that was the broncos 2k3w5i78. i did make it for the first ten minutes of the second game. >> otherwise, whenever the games were, the weather was appropriate for where they were. it's pretty benign weather

around the lower 48. whatever you're going to do today, weather will cooperate with you, but here's where the things are going to change. pacific northwest, they've got a storm system coming in. one to two inches of snow. kind of slushy, wet snow. the big deal is we've got a pattern change coming, and what this means is really we've seen such incredibly dry conditions in the west. this vigorous winter polar jet is going to make its way -- the 5,000 mile trek give alaskans and a break and tap into us in the pacific northwest. watch what happens. wednesday at noon, bam, first big snowstorm. it will bring heavy mountain snow and also beneficial rains. then watch what happens on thursday. that system breaks up. kind of the next batch of moisture, next little nugget area of low pressure moves in, and then it's thursday into friday. the same thing. really incredibly necessary for this part of the country, but we'll really watch this pattern change. you'll notice all this moisture isn't making its way eastward. not really bringing too much rain or snow in toward the great lakes. just a little bit of it, but certainly not in ernest like

we're seeing out west. and with that we're going to watch these temperatures begin to drop off. it's been steamy from denver to salt lake. temperatures well above average. that quells, and can you see that dropping to the south, but look at this. billings 20 degrees below average. much cooler in the west. pattern change. certainly where we should be for this time of year, getting into cold january weather. the heat kind of staying right here in the southern plains, and what we've seen cold temperatures in the northeast. they really moderate. temperatures today, boston, new york, in the 20s. chilly starts. chilly afternoon. then tomorrow back up into the 30s and 40s. getting a little more climatologically on the bar. >> all right. thank you so much. we'll check back with you shortly. well, coming up, would you want your child put in a so-called scream room at school to calm him or her down. a lot of parents say no way. >> it's not a problem. >> all he said was put the child further away so nobody else could hear him. >> i don't care.

why does my mouth feel dryer than i remember it to be? there are more people taking more medication, so we see people suffering from dry mouth more so. we may see more cavities, bad breath, oral irritation. a dry mouth sufferer doesn't have to suffer. i would recommend biotene. the enzymes in biotene products help supplement enzymes that are naturally in saliva. biotene helps moisten those areas that have become dry. those that are suffering can certainly benefit from biotene.

the 2012 race for the republican presidential nomination could make religious history, and our josh levs is here to tell us about it. really, break it down for us how this is sort of working. >> this is so interests the way it's playing out this year. it would make real history, and it plays out against all of american history, but especially over the last several decades. this could be the republican party's first non-protestant

nominee in modern politics, and this says a lot about religion and politics in this country. this pack of gop contenders is already historic. let's talk this through. you have romney and huntsman, frontrunner mitt romney and huntsman, both mormons. either would be the first mormon nominee for either party in this country. you have gingrich and santorum, both catholics, setting aside for now how gingrich came to catholic simple. before you had to overcome suspicion for voters who feared he might take direction from the pope. they've also got two protestants in the race this time around. ron paul and rick perry. paul has been doing well so far. rick perry has not been much of a factor so far. he is hoping to turn that around in south carolina. the story in the cnn blog, experts are telling us that the diversity of this group reflects a major change in this country, and one of the changes is that the republican party has won over a lot of catholics who were once a very solid democratic

voting block, and a big reason for that change was roe v. wade. nearly 40 years ago many catholics ultimately flipped to the republican party because of opposition to abortion rights. we also talk about mormonism. it's a quickly growing religion. more and more people know someone mormon. americans are becoming increasingly comfortable with the idea of a mormon president, but some are not. that could play out in this race. the fact that catholics and mormons have such a legitimate chance this time around shows how much has changed in this country in the decades, especially since kennedy. >> and so how is this playing out on the campaign trail, because they're trying to reach voters, and that is who they're really trying to resonate with and so do they bring their religion up front? do they sort of stay back? do they -- does it depend on what audience they're talking to? >> it's so interesting. you know, this is something you and i were talking about a little earlier. one thing we are seeing is that across different religions, people who are conservative, are reaching out to the conservative members of any religion. we are seeing some changes so far in the race as well, and i

can tell you about it a little bit. one of them is that there are some people, for example, christian evangelicals, they are in larger numbers supporting people who are also evangelicals. for example, you're seeing support for rick santorum, among evangelicals. what are you seeing in new hampshire is that catholics and protestants voted for mitt romney, just as all voters did. you are seeing more and more acceptance, more and more changes in that way, and i want you all to see the whole story. it's at the blog, cnn.com/josh at facebook and twitter. we'll send it out to deb next. it is interesting that the way this intersection between religion and politics in america is reformulating this time around, and it shows how much this country has changed and has a long path to getting us here. >> it's very interesting also that mitt romney, who clearly has had to defend his faith has said that, you know, he is nott going to represent one religion. he is basically there to be president should he be nominated, should he be elected,

of all people, of all americans. it will be interesting religion playing a role now, but perhaps once in the white house because we don't hear about that much about religion in the white house. that's the point. john levs, interesting. check it out on the blog. don't forget, can you see the southern presidential debate right here on cnn thursday night at 8:00 eastern time. and two years after that devastating earthquake in haiti, these med students are finally getting their degree. we're going to tell you how they overcame training in the rubble. that's coming up in our morning passport. and if you have big plans to get out for the nfl playoffs or celebrate martin luther king jr.'s birthday, meteorologist alexandra steele up next with your forecast. you can with green giant frozen vegetables. over twenty delicious varieties have sixty calories or less per serving and are now weight watchers-endorsed. try green giant frozen vegetables with sauce.

putting on a white coat with their name on it. it symbolizes the crossover from student to doctor practicing medicine. we're joined live to tell us about how significant this will be for haiti. it looks like once you get a doctor's sort of really healing and growth and regeneration. >> it's enormous. it's one of those heart warming stories. here's a group of physicians around the world who formed something called the haiti medical education project, and what they have vowed to do is to help educate physicians in haiti. so many of the medical schools were destroyed during the earthquake, and we spoke to the director of the haiti medical education project, and i want you to hear from her about what the inspiration was for foreign doctors to educate haitian doctors. >> those medical students not only lost their homes, family

members, and friends, but when you look at their eyes, you can actually see that the dream of becoming a physician was shattering in front of you. we're here for the long run. the people who work -- that i work with and i'm convinced that also all our partners are here for the long run to make these a sustainable medical education that produce physicians, haitian physicians, to heal their country. sfwoo now, how they do this, deb, is via video, which is state-of-the-art video conferencing, so you have the haitian medical students in a classroom, and they video conference with professors around the world so they get this incredible education, and these physicians are volunteering to do this, but one of the stories that she told us sheshgs said she volunteered during the earthquake. one of her patients was a young medical student. all of his classmates, 40 of them, had died in the earthquake. he was the only one that

survived, including the professor, and he wanted to continue his education, and without this project, it wouldn't have happened. so just a remarkable story out of such crisis comes great volunteers and showing the best of humanity and today 35 doctors will graduate in haiti because of this remarkable project. >> do you know, will these doctors go out and help their people? they'll stay there and they'll help part of the rebuilding. >> correct. >> they'll become the next generation of doctors and hospitals and et cetera? >> and the philosophy is that they do community service so they will go back into the community. >> a lot of hope. thank you so much. really appreciate that. great sign. well, it's jubilee day in denmark. europe's oldest monarchy is marking a momentous occasion. four decades on the throne for queen margaret. we're going living live to coppenhagen for the intrags. that's coming up next.

from coppenhagen, and, mack, it's wonderful. the streets must be filled with people. >> reporter: yeah, deb. i mean, it really is a fairy tale monarchy, if ever there was one. take a look at the carriage ride yesterday. a truly colorful affair. all the pomp and pageantry you would expect for a european monarchy, and crowds and crowds of people. this is a country of only five million people. it's a small country, deb. huge support for their monarchy and their queen, and then today thousands more are turning out to the palace behind me for the moment when the queen came out and waved to her people 40 years since she took the throne and was announced on that balcony actually all those years ago as a new queen taking over for her father. this is a monarchy with 80% approval rating. twice the approval to when she came to the throne, and this is where. why. >> i think the feelings are admiration and also pride because she's ours and she's

denmark's, and she's done a fantastic job for the past 40 years, and we hope she'll continue. >> reporter: there you are, deb. all sorts of people turning out here, but all generally supportive. it's been an mazing day. >> when you hear someone say she's done a fantastic job for the country, how do people see her as defining denmark and growing it while she's been on the throne, basically? >> reporter: it's interesting. i've been asking lots of people this question, and what you hear is they have a lot of respect for her. she's very smart and very creative. she's involved in the arts. had he say -- they describe her as their mother, and a lot of people say she's like them, so they don't look up to her in a monarch inaccessible. she's very accessible and open, and she's made the monarchy slightly more informal, and she does go out shopping in coppenhagen to department stores. she's a relatively normal monar monarch. they can relate to her. it's a small country, so you

have a greater chance of seeing her. you have them driving around. this is the main palace square. there's no fences here. the palace, though, can you go right up to the pinned every window and dmok on it virtually. it's very informal. >> wonderful. it's always nice when you see, obviously so much focus is on the british monarchy and we see the relationship that the queen has had with her people and the controversy that that has sometimes engendered, but that's -- there doesn't seem to be any controversy around her. >> no. she's just got more and more popular over time, and it's interesting. i did ask her about her relationship with other queens, and she is in touch with queen elizabeth who this year will be celebrating her jubilee, but 60 years on the throne. these are two queens who tu truly understand each other's roles, and there's not many people who get that insight. >> it's a very unique and very elite club. well, max foster joining us from denmark, thank you so much. really appreciate it. well, denmark might be slightly smaller than vermont and new hampshire combined, but

the constitutional monarchy's relationship with the u.s., it's significant. denmark is a very close nato ally and as the cold war drew to a close, denmark has really been instrumental in helping integrate central and eastern european nations with the west. denmark has also been a key supporter of u.s. and nato-led military efforts in iraq and afghanistan. well, a convicted murderer sentenced to life. now he is free after serving only ten years in prison. his connection to the governor who pardoned him, and that's ahead. ♪ [ female announcer ] if whole grain isn't the first ingredient in your breakfast cereal, what is? now, in every box of general mills big g cereal, there's more whole grain than any other ingredient. that's why it's listed first on the side. from honey nut cheerios to cinnamon toast crunch to lucky charms, get more whole grain than any other ingredient... without question. just look for the white check.

earlier in the show we asked for your thoughts about a controversial story. >> i have a problem. >> in middletown, connecticut, parents' tempers have been flaring over the use of so-called scream rooms in schools, and this is a scream room. it is a small concrete room furnished with only a desk, and children with behavior problems can be put there during the school day. well, some parents heard accounts of children screaming and kicking and crying from inside the rooms. middletown school superintendent

says he is ordering a stop to this practice, but others say it's useful, and we want to know what you think. are scream rooms dangerous, or are they an effective way to control students who are acting out? i'm on twitter @debfeyerick cnn, and i'm going to read some of your thoughts on air. what would you think if you were locked in one of those? from cnn's center, this is ynn sunday morning. it is sunday, january 15th. it is 7:00 a.m. in atlanta, 6:00 a.m. in kansas city, and 4:00 a.m. in reno, which means you're either getting up or going to bed. good morning. i'm deb feyerick. search crews are back out this morning looking for at least 50 people after an italian cruise ship ran aground killing three. you are looking at those live pictures. now, new details about the charges the ship's captain and first officer might be facing.

we will take you live to italy. plus, imagine your child being put into this really what amounts to a storage closet at school. teachers call it a scream room, and they have no problem sending students there. we'll explain why. we start with the rescue just a short time ago from that italian cruise ship sitting on its side with a huge gash in the hull. one of the ship's crew members was found in a restaurant on the ship and plucked out by rescuers. this comes more than 24 hours after the ship hit a sand bar and then just rolled over. the ship is mostly under water. divers jumped back into the water this morning to continue searching for survivors or victims. a south korean couple was also found alive overnight in one of the ship's cabins. we get more on the wreck and the investigation from cnn's colleen mcedwards. >> reporter: tipped on its side, you can clearly see the gnarled hole in the hull of the costa concordia.

a loud bang told four or five passengers something was wrong. the lights went out, and survivors say chaos followed. >> people were pushing and shoving. there was no order. there was no lines. there was no system in place, and there was no one in charge. it was every crewmember who walked past would shout instructions, but the instructions contradicted each other. >> there was so little information. they didn't prepare the people. i mean, if they had just told us, you know, we're evacuating for your own safety, please put on warm coats. >> reporter: some passengers were told to return to their cabins, but the boat shook violently and listed to the side making it difficult to navigate hallways and find life boats. some had to make the horrifying decision to swim for it. >> by the time all the life boats had left, we were maybe 600 to 800 people still on the boat. they only had rafts left, but the angle of the boat was so steep, they couldn't get us out. >> everyone started to jump in the water. me and my wife stayed close

together as we swam 200, 300 meters to the out cropping, basically just a rock on the corner of the island. >> it was pretty bizarre. you know, we were lucky. i mean, other people, their life boats got hung up and they got hurt. >> reporter: the ship's captain is being investigated for manslaughter and abandoning ship. he reportedly denies any wrong doing. in a statement the president of the costa cruise line thanked rescue workers and said "we are not at this time able to answer all questions because the authorities are trying with our cooperation to understand the reasons for this incident." authorities are also looking at why the ship didn't send out a may day. while the investigation continues, so does the task of accounting for the passengers. those still missing may have gotten to safety or simply got lost in the chaos of treating the injured on shore. but with some 4,000 people on board the searching and the verifying will take time and answering all the questions

surrounding this tragedy even longer. colleen mcedwards, cnn, atlanta. well, just a short time ago, i talked with two survivors from that ship wreck. they said that it was at least 30 minutes before any alert sounded and they were told that, well, it was only an electrical problem. listen to how they described the scene. >> it was completely out of control. the crew was trying very hard, but they weren't given any information. they said they had no information. it also appeared to us as if perhaps they didn't have adequate training. we boarded the ship on friday evening. we were only on the cruise for three hours. we expected -- we're previous cruisers, and we've always had fire drills. we expected a fire drill, and it wasn't scheduled until saturday, and, again, it appeared as if there was lack of adequate training, although the staff -- the crew was trying very hard.

>> and we will have a live report from italy on the latest from that ship and on the search for survivors. that's going to be coming up next hour. and to give you some perspective, looking at that ship in the water, well, the costa concordia is three times as large as the titanic, measuring three and a half football fields. it was a cruising speed, which means it may have been moving around 25 miles an hour when it hit that reef, and it appears to have come to a dead stop. when it was christened in 2006, just six years ago, it was believed to be the biggest cruise ship in all of italy. it's owned by a company called costa cruises. the parent company is miami-based carnival, which is the biggest cruise line in the world. costa had a bad year in 2010. one of its cruise ships slammed into a cargo ship in china, injuring three people. another costa ship smashed into a dock in egypt. three crew members were killed. and we're now hearing some of the first words from joe paterno on the sexual abuse allegations that ended his 46-year coaching career at penn state.

paterno is back in the hospital. his family says he is suffering minor complications from treatment for lung cancer. before going back to the hospital, the 85-year-old paterno spoke to the washington post about the scandal and about his reaction to the original allegations against assistant coach jerry sandusky. >> i called my superiors, and i said, hey, we got a problem i think. would you guys look into it? because i didn't know, you know. i had never had to deal with something like that, and i didn't feel adequate." >> paterno was essentially fired for his handling of the san dusky scandal and those original allegations. in that interview paterno said he thought he told the right people who would follow-up on the situation. he also says he is not bitter about the way his career ended. well, after "the post" published the interview cnn got a statement from jerry

sandusky's attorney. he said the sandusky's are extremely saderned by the events which have occurred since jerry's arrest. we have been greatly dismayed by the knee jerk reaction of the penn state board of trustees in summarily dismissing coach paterno." he has denied wrong doing. and to politics. we're switching over to politics now. we are less than a week away from the south carolina primary. the airwaves are littered with negative political ads, though there are some positive ones as well. most are coming from the so-called super pacs that are loosely connected with specific candidates. joining me is founder and editor of citizen jane politics. now, newt gingrich, he is kind of front and center with these ads. now he is sort of backing away. he is saying, okay, let's wait a minute because it seems to have backfired, no? >> i think it's absolutely back fired on him, and that's why we see him stepping back from this. he originally promised to run a

very positive campaign and then hammered mitt romney when he was running ads with his super pac against newt gingrich. now that newt gingrich is doing the same thing, is he stepping back and saying, wait, i didn't mean to do that. it's a little left brain-right brain, and it's extremely confusing and a little hypocritical, if you want to start calling names. >> if you think of all the voters there that are all barraged. we've all been there. whether it's the television or the mails or those robo-calls. you know, there's this push and pull with the voters. they want them, but then they risk alienating them at the same time, no? >> it is a very delicate balancing act. the average south carolinan right now will see 180 commercials between now and the election. they are totally swamped. they're going to get more in their mailbox. they're going to get flyers on their windshields. there is no escaping this in south carolina, and the candidates are trying to have a positive and negative sort of a good guy-bad guy campaign

happening within their own campaigns. vote for me. vote for me. don't vote for this other guy. here's why he is so awful. vote for me. it's a lot of mixed messages. you're trying to get people to vote for you, and, also, to suppress the votes for the other guy. sometimes you're just suppressing votes entirely. a lot of these candidates would prefer to suppress votes entirely than to have them volt for somebody else. unfortunately. >> that's exactly right. you know, when you think of it, when you also think of -- as we -- as it's just the run-up really to super tuesday, but every state is the most important, every state has its issues, every state has to sort of build the momentum, do you think on some levels too much attention is paid to the early races, or is that really how the candidates define themselves leading into super tuesday? >> i think the early races are crucial, and there's a lot of -- there are a lot of complaints from other states, larger states, like california and new york because they don't get to have the same impact as an iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, but i think these states are so important because it's where these voters are introduced to

the candidates. they meet them one-on-one. they ask them very pointed specific questions, and a larger state, you don't have the freedom to get in and talk to voters one-on-one, so they're crucial. they're absolutely important. it's also a very important test, i think. can you organize? are you a good manager? we know you have a message that people like, but are you effective at running a large organization? could you run the country if you had to? i think that we see -- we learn a lot about these candidates as they move through. we've already learned a lot about who is a good manager, who is not such a good manager, in addition to whether or not we like their messages. >> what's also interesting is you say the candidates try to suppress votes for the other guy, pretty much, but we're not hearing the issues, for example, of, you know, different groups. race, something that breaks down along racial lines, gender lines. all those different groups that the candidates are going to have to win over basically. that's later, right? >> it's for later. it's somewhat for now. there's a lot of microtargeting that's happening. your tv ads, radio ads, and then

there's a lot that happens below the surface, getting in and talking to church groups, getting in and having sur gats go in and make specific contacts, going door to door. you have sort of above the line and below the line. they want every vote they can possibly get. they're not going to leave anything on the table at this point. once we get into a democratic-republican general election, then i think we'll hear more about targeting women, african-americans, latinos. right now the republican race tends to be more focused on white voters. they tend to have just a more -- just a wider, more male electorate, so those are the messages that we hear. that's who they're going after right now, but in general election they're going to 79 every vote they can get. >> thank you so much. essentially what you're saying is we're seeing the top 25% of what's to come. >> yes. enjoy yourself. >> let it begin. >> exactly. >> thank you so much. appreciate you joining us this morning. be sure to tune in to cnn thursday night to hear the candidates in their own words. the ads have been nasty, but will the candidates keep up the pressure face-to-face? cnn southern republican leadership conference debate comes your way.

that's thursday night at 8:00 p.m. eastern. and some parents call them scream rooms. they're small empty rooms at schools where some teachers put troubled students to calm them down. some parents say it's got to stop, and we want to know your thoughts. are scream rooms dangerous or are they an effective way to control student behavior? would you want to be in one of those rooms? i'm on twitter sp @debfeyerickcnn, and i'll read some of your comments coming up, so keep them coming. beth!

[ yelling ] >> i have a problem. >> the middleton, connecticut, parents' tempers have been flaring over the use of so-called scream rooms in schools. this is a scream room. they're small concrete rooms further notice tissued with only a desk. the children with behavior

problems are being placed into during the school day. some parents say they've heard accounts of children scream and kick and crying from inside the rooms. middleton school superintendent says is he ordering a stop to the practice, but others defend its use. >> specific management techniques can be considered controversial practice. time-out and use of seclusion and restraint are two such examples. >> depending on the level of presenting behaviors, the staff may be in the room with the student or immediately outside the door. >> we are definitely curious as to what you think. are scream rooms dangerous, or are they an effect ti way to control student behavior and keep order in the larger class? i'm on twitter ae ae debfeyerickcnn. share your thoughts, and i'm going to read some of them on the air. family members of the mississippi murder victim are outraged that the man who murdered her is now free.

michael smith sentenced him to life in prison. last sunday mississippi governor haley barbour set mccray free after less than ten years. >> do you think he should have been let out? >> you kill somebody, man, you need to do time. you know? he took somebody's life, you know what i'm saying? >> as a prisoner, mccray worked at the governor's mansion. the governor got to know him and came to trust him. >> hey, governor. how are you doing? >> this week barbour pardoned him, which means in the eye of the law the murder never happened. >> you going to give a murderer, somebody that shot another female, you know arks i person that they say they loved and shot him in the back, you know what i'm saying? you're going to wipe his slate clean? >> for bonds there is no fresh start. he misses jennifer every day. especially as he raises her now 18-year-old son also named anthony mccray. >> let me ask you, as the son of a man who was convicted of murdering your mother, what do you think of all of this?

>> i just -- i think about it. i just have to forgive him -- just forgive him of the fact that he did it and she's gone, and i got to move on in life. >> reporter: that's where the story might have ended if it weren't for what happened next. >> so we were actually led to this street here, the scenario where anthony mccray used to live, and as we drove by, another person who was in the neighborhood pointed out that anthony mccray is inside the house. we're going to go look. hello? >> i knocked on the door. mccray came out, and i couldn't believe it. >> you are the man who is convicted of killing jennifer mccray? >> yes, sir. >> the man who has been pardoned by governor barbour? >> yes, sir. >> he told me what it was like to be fre. >> i have been saved. i have been baptized.

i've been reading the bible for 12 1/2 years. so it's just a true blessing. i didn't do this. god did this. you know what i'm saying? god touched haley barbour to do this for us. >> do you think people should be angry at governor barbour for -- >> no, sir. no, sir. he treat us like we're his children. >> reporter: judge smith is angry at former governor barbour. he says it's wrong to overturn his ruling when the murder was so blatant. >> there is no question where we have witnesses like evidently they had in the mccray case. i don't think that the governor should have authority to pardon a defendant. >> do you think because of the public anger you may have to go back? >> it's a great possibility. >> reporter: judge smith hopes he is right. not just in his case, but the other three murderers barbour freed as well, saying the pardons have only brought back

pain. >> now they're back where they started from. >> reporter: the families you mean? >> the families and the victims. >> reporter: back in what sense? >> back in the grief and the misery of the murder. >> reporter: if you could talk to governor barbour, what would you ask him? >> did he think about it? you know what i'm saying? did you think about how many people that it would affect? >> reporter: former governor haley barbour continues to defend the pardons. in fact he was on television locally and nationally, although he declined to talk to cnn. he says the pardons were the right thing to do. there are many in this state who would disagree. martin savidge, cnn, jackson, mississippi. well, miracle rescues at sea. search crews have found more survivors from that cruise ship disaster, but many more still missing. the latest on the search coming up.

there's been another rescue from the costa concordia. search crews found the vessel's cursor, is he the one in charge of making sure passengers are comfortable. he was trapped inside the ship's restaurant. a south korean couple was also rescued overnight. the vessel ran aground late friday, killing at least three people and injuring 20 others. earlier in the show we asked you what you thought about a controversial story. in middleton, connecticut, parents' tempers have been flaring over the use of so-called scream rooms in schools, so are they dangerous, or an effective way to control student behavior? well, here are just some of your comments. jeff stewart says the scream room is simply a time-out. this has to be the most harmless of all punishments. i don't sigh any issue with it. sharon stillson tweeted, "a parent who did this would be accused of abuse. what does this teach the child?" keep those comments coming. i'm on
