>> gabrielle giffords announcing she is resigning a little more than a year after she survived a point blank gunshot to the head. she said she needs time to focus on her recovery. debbie wassermann shuttle is one of her best friends. gabby giffords told you about this decision before she made
10:13 pm
the announcement. you can tell us about the conversation? >> sure. i actually talked to mark. i went to visit gabby at the end of december and the end of november as well. i had a couple of fconversation with gabby. when i left the last time i went to visit her, i came home and told my husband that i wouldn't be surprised if she decided that she wasn't going to run for reelection. this decision is quint essential gabby giffords. most people's perception of politicians is it's all about them. gabby knew once she had decided that she wasn't going to run for reelection and needed to focus on her recovery, she needed to step aside for herself so that her constituents can get full time representing a. she cares so much.
10:14 pm
>> it's not just about her, but the people's business needs to be taken care of as well. >> that's what it's all about for her. she loves tucson and loves southern arizona and loves public service. i know she is coming back and wants to come back to public service, but she doesn't do anything halfway. she gives everything 150%. she wanted to come back in 2012, but if she had done that, she would have been dividing her time between focusing on her recovery and doing her job and had to do both things halfway. she realized her recovery is more likely for years rather than months and better to focus on coming 100% back and return to public service later on. >> thank you so much for talking about her and again as we said, she is not being selfish. she needs to focus on the recovery and she wants to get on with the people's business. i have to ask you though about
10:15 pm
politics. you know that you are the head of the dnc and i would be remiss not to ask about the republican primary in your state of florida in nine days. you were at gingrich headquar r headquarters and saw the passion of the voters for him. have democrats been preparing to take on the wrong republican? >> mitt romney earned the scrutiny that he has gotten and i will tell you i have been through a number of presidential elections and on my watch we are not going to take them as characterizations and distortions and lies that mitt romney told about president obama's incredible record in getting this economy turned around lying down. not on my watch. it's important that people understand the contrast between the direction that mitt romney would take the country back to the failed policies of the past and the economic mess in the first place. >> you are so focused and just
10:16 pm
being on the ground, newt gingrich inspires a lot of passion from conservatives and more passion than mitt romney inspires and people said he inspires so much passion on the right as barack obama does on the left. is he a formidable opponent for barack obama come november? >> newt gingrich spent really this whole entire primary making extremely divicive statements and really embracing the tea party and embracing extremism. he certainly knows better than a choice than mitt romney would be, but mitt romney is coming into my home state of florida, but being his race to lose. he has something like a 22-point lead in the last polling that was done before south carolina. unfortunately for him there is ten days between now and the primary and the more people see mitt romney the less they like him. with two debates in between now
10:17 pm
and january 31st, it will be interesting whether he comes clean and does he release years of tax returns and right now he will release 2010 and the estimate, that is unacceptable. if he is hanging for his campaign and his presidency on his economic record in the business sector, he oh,s this to the american people to show and show his background financially and be transparent. >> that will have to be the last word. we have a lot of other news to get on to. thank you for talking politics and thank you for talking about your friend. >> thanks for giving me the opportunity. >> our best to gabby. >> next my conversation with dan rather who is outspoken about the gop and the news media. you know organization is key... and so is having a trusted assistant. and you...rent from national. because only national

10:19 pm
10:20 pm
dan rather covered presidential elections for more than four decades and now the primary for hd net as host of dan rather reports. i spoke to him about newt gingrich's fiery week and his convincing south carolina win. >> newt gingrich has the momentum. there is an old song, hearts can inspire other hearts with their fire. gingrich has the fire as we mentioned on your program earlier. those who don't like him and the democrats who say will inspire. he caught fire and if he can get that going in florida, we will have a real race for the
10:21 pm
republican nomination if they go deep into the spring and possibly to the republican convention with someone such as jeb bush. florida is not south carolina as we know. it's a bigger and more diverse state. mid-romney has the advantage for one thing. don't forget a fairly high percentage of the votes in the florida primary have been cast absentee before the race. in florida, he would be favored in florida, but not nearly as favored had he won south care lane. i do think it's still mitt romney's nomination to lose for the b gop, but could lose it because newt who can be ownerry when he chooses to do so. >> mr. rather, i want to play some of that.
10:22 pm
i'm glad you talked about that. he had a strong week leading into south carolina. a defining moment and john king asked him to respond to the interview, his ex-wife gave to abc. >> she said you asked her to enter into an open marriage. would you like to take time to respond to that. >> no, but i will. >> he said i can't believe you would do that and the media needs to stop doing that and the reaction to his response from john king, rick santorum told a crowd not to fall for his rivals's tactics. >> i would say take a step back and get past the one-liners and the beating up of the media that is always popular. get past the inevitability that the person with the most money wins. he didn't win iowa.
10:23 pm
>> he was taking a shot at newt gingrich, but is this significant? a candidate finally admitting to blaming the media which is so easy to do. >> particularly in republican primaries, it's red meat. let's be clear. this election is not about the nomination process nor the general election. it's not about the press in whatever everybody thinks about the press. it's about the economy and jobs. it's about how our women, particularly independent and swing vote women want to go to the general election. we can keep our election on what the election is about. >> that was dan rather and we talk a bit more, it was the most explosive start yet to a republican presidential debate. >> public office and i am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate with a topic like that.
10:24 pm
>> newt gingrich exploding as cnn's john king over his ex-wife. many think it won him the primary, but it doesn't mean he gets to claim the moral high ground here. [ male announcer ] the inspiring story of how a shipping giant can befriend a forest may seem like the stuff of fairy tales.
10:25 pm
but if you take away the faces on the trees... take away the pixie dust. take away the singing animals, and the storybook narrator... [ man ] you're left with more electric trucks. more recycled shipping materials... and a growing number of lower emissions planes... which still makes for a pretty enchanted tale. ♪ la la la [ man ] whoops, forgot one...

10:26 pm
>> per blaming the media, not the first time we tackled media bashing. here's where it starts this time. a debate, a moderator and former speaker of the house and this lightning rofd a question. >> she said you asked her to enter into an open marriage.
10:27 pm
would you like to take time to respond to that. >> no, but i will. i think the destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country and attract decent people to run for public office and i am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate on a topic like that. >> while electric his answer really wasn't surprising. he has done it many times before even in other debates on fox news, msnbc and other networks. >> i wish you would put aside the gotcha questions. they will repudiate every effort of the news media to protect barack obama. >> woo we can debate whether it should have been the first question.
10:28 pm
conventional wisdom is it swung in newt gingrich's favor. i digress. the classic move to blame the media. what is surprising though is that for the first time and just this week someone in the gop, a presidential candidate acknowledges that the gop had a media-blaming addiction. >> i would say to the people of south carolina, take a step back and get past the one-liners and the peting up of the media that is popular with opponents. >> admitting it is the first step. what is disingenuous than his holier than thou response, it ignores his history and platform of running on family values. after all he is the man who has repeatedly said this. >> i do believe marriage is between a man and a woman. >> a question that could reveal
10:29 pm
