santorum in confidence and momentum. >> the time is now for conservatives to pull together. >> newt gringrich not leading anything but well-placed barbs. >> if you're the frontrunner and you keep coming in third you're not much of a front runner. >> that jab after urst while frontrunner with a pre-election day plea on monday. >> we're going win tomorrow. evidently that was news to eric fernstrom who said last night i don't think anybody expected mitt to win alabama or mississippi. everyone thought this was an away game and that was absolutely true. the scores from the away game. the former pennsylvania senator scoring again in pennsylvania over gingrich and romney. and romney beating santorum by 20 points and ron paul by 27 and

gingrich by 24. thethe american samoa is romney at this hour. turf. some approximates from the associated press. santorum 13, and in alabama santorum 15. and in hawai'i romney 9. with 1144 needed to win romney has 495 which is still 64 more than santorum and gingrich and paul combined. romney campaign political director pleased with the salaries saying tuesday's results actually increased governor romney's delegate lead while his opponents moved closer to their mathematical elimination. the suggestion of a gingrich campaign anonymous senior adviser told the "huffington post" newt gringrich and rick santorum would make a powerful

team against barack obama. they have the capability to deny mitt romney the number placing. despite third-place showing in states, there was no pressure that could force him out of the race. >> the pressure is going to be that the romney people want me out, that the washington establishment wants me out, the lobbyists want me to get out the wall street millionaires who have given to romney. >> a super pack suggesting that nut nut could win the in a brokered convention. >> my guest after the first ballot which mitt romney will fail, it's a better than even that newt gringrich could win on the second ballot. >> with mitt romney with three private fundraisers in connecticut and new york city, romney defending himself and his wealth on fox news. >> guess what, i made a lot of money. i've been very successful.

i'm not going to apologize for that. >> and hit them about your wallet mitt. the seam us card is in place. the family dog which romney had and took to canada in a carrier strapped to romney's car roof in 1983, a matter that should worry dog lovers everywhere, he has been employed by senior strategy after romney called santorum's campaign desperate. >> i'm not going to listen to the value judgment of a man who strapped his dog to the roof of his car while hurling down the highway. >> woof. >> you don't think it matters? two words, michael vick. in puerto rico with 23 delegates in play. santorum told prosecutor that puerto

rico. and like any other state there has to be compliance with this and any other federal law. english has to be the principle language. contrary to santorum who may have dreamt that there is no language requirement or official american language. at least not yet. for more on santorum's southern victories and mitt romney delegate math, andy, thanks for your time tonight. >> thanks for having me. >> we heard what romney, santorum and gingrich said what last night meant for romney. >> on paper it meant that mitt romney widened his delegate lead by a half dozen delegates. mathematically his lead is growing. however as you talk about the narrative, if you're talking about momentum, if you're talking about popular support rick santorum had a better night and mitt romney again showed that he just can't find that spark, and i can't get conservatives especially those in the south, the hard liners to

rally behind his campaign. he's muddling along picking up delegates, but still fail to go catch fire. >> the romney argument inevitability and this coat mathematical elimination which does not have a campaign lilt to it. it's ant septic and business like. how do you sell this? how do you build enthusiasm rather than lose enthusiasm if the best you can come up with is according to addition and subtraction we'll eventually. >> you don't build support about mathematical elimination or the slow march to 1144 delegates. i woke up this morning and read the romney campaign e-mail and wanted to go back to bed and go to sleep because it was so depressing and boring. at this point they're really alonging to wealthy donors, just like we saw with fundraisers in new york and connecticut. they're looking to wealthy donors to continue his campaign

and keep it going because frankly your' not going to rouse the base like president obama did in how we're going to get to 1144 before the last primary in utah in june. >> the upcoming states, missouri and puerto rico on saturday and sunday, puerto rico which would not, if it is not a state would not have laws that rick santorum just invented, and illinois next tuesday. how does the delegates look, is that easy picks for romney or does santorum have a shot to keep his momentum going. >> you have 150 delegates at play and they're all up for grabs. the polls are a dead heat in illinois between santorum and romney. the latest poll we saw from missouri showed newt gringrich. while i don't trust that--from january. while i don't trust that my guess is this race which is very much a two-man race at this point, newt gringrich is out of the race, so he doesn't admit it yet.

these are going to be contested primaries coming up in the next week just as a week or two are going to be contested. i don't think mitt romney has any advantage going in and his advisers are sweating bullets headed to illinois and missouri. >> and no one has done this, and now santorum's advisers had a done this, introducing the saga of seamus the dog filled fiddler on the roof, as it were, i know this is late night comedy but doesn't this translate viscerally in the country where they don't pay attention to to them. they recognize that they are crazy about dogs, if you do not hit people over the head with the saga of seamus and use this dog's memory blatantly politically, could it not cost romney the election? >> it's a visceral issue. it tugs at the heart heartstrings. i don't think it set in.

we have a dogs against romney website. there are people who hold seamus signs at events. but i still don't think that this is actually taken root. i don't know if rick santorum is the compassionate heart-felt guy who will really bring this imagineimagehome. i would look at the obama folks to throw this in an ad or use it in the same way that was used. it does punch people in the gut more than mathematical elimination or talk about a tax capital. >> and santorum has expressed his interest in what happens to dogs. maybe he is the man. andy cole, thanks for your time tonight. >> thank you. >> i'm joined by craig crawford, crawford www. www.craigcanyouford.com the author of.

i noticed it was carefully phrased and the article around it was carefully phrased. who did they think the gingrich was the presidential nominee gingrich? [chuckling] >> i don't know, i think he needs to be baker. he's throwing out so many different scenarios, in this survivor-type scenarios where there is an alliance between he and santorum. the santorum people, they want no part of that. they would like him out of the race. that's their best shot of taking on romney. in this man's mind i'm sure any alliance he would talk about in his mind he's thinking he would be the nominee. with 12% of the delegates. >> but he says that there's no urgency for him to make a decision about getting out of the campaign, he can wait a few more weeks. do we--cuss that mean based on how this campaign has gone so far, if he says on a few more

weeks we'll have the dramatic announcement that he will drop out and he'll endorse santorum? >> no, if he don't win georgia if i don't win south carolina or, i'm not credible. he keeps laying these things out. ultimately he'll get in a cell phone and a rental car and that may be enough. from what i've been hearing and seeing elsewhere, sheldon adelson may not be writing any more checks. when you look at gingrich's spending as of i looked today he has not put an ad up yet in illinois and very low numbers on spending in alabama and mississippi. it looks to me like the adelson money has gone away, and calista will have to find someone else to cover her tiffany bill. >> and the pressure is mounting around people who think we can't get santorum elected but we could get santorum with gingrich's support to take the thing to the convention, if not to defeat him outright.

now we have richard tweeting that he wants everybody on the gingrich side to sway their support to santorum. is this the optimum time for gingrich, and does anybody think he knows that? >> you know, the trouble with a lot of this pressure being put on gingrich. here is a man--if i can suspend this belief for a moment and give him credit. he pioneered republicanism in georgia. he was instrumental if not the leader of taking over the house in 1994. there aren't a lot of people alive today over the last 30 years as big of an icon to republican grassroots and a lot of people in elected office he's responsible for that. they got to be careful at trying to push him too hard. but at the same time it is time for him to get out and have some dignity left. >> if he gets out now, though, in the construction--theoretical

construction he will been going out and assuming a kind of dick cheney position. santorum would offer him the vice presidential nomination in order to get him out now wouldn't he? >> i don't know, gingrich is such a loose canon. anyone who made gingrich vice president, their food taster would be the food taster. >> ron paul's people have sent signals to romney's people about throwing their support to the governor, which is interesting. but does ron paul matter in terms of the delegate count? >> that has been a big surprise. i thought he had the grassroots support to keep going. he won the virgin islands, i think. all along what is interesting this quiet not alliance but aggression pact when romney and ron paul. in virginia where only ron paul

and romney were on the ballot ron paul got 41% but he didn't campaign there. that was instructive. there he had an opportunity to go one-on-one with romney, and he had the base of support and he got 41% without campaigning. that suggests to me that i do buy if ron paul did that, if he made a deal with romney to get out of the race, his supporters would take up pitch forks against him. >> craig crawford from www.craigcrawford.com authors of politics of life, that even his food taster would need a food taster. thanks, craig. >> good to be here. >> as we told you 4 hours ago before anybody else paying attention, the seemingly simple answer by mitt romney has been slammed by women. no, he will not try to get rid of planned parenthood but again it looks more likely that his bosses might try to get rid of rush

news and being really gone after by the public was when he said he wanted obama to fail. and at that point you had a lot of republicans kind of tepidly disavowing that, and then ultimately apologizing to him. this time he does not have them wrapped around his finger any more. they're not afraid to say we don't agree with you. these comments from vial, and leave it at that. >> about governor romney as i said last night as we broke that story he was going to get it from as many different sides as there were. first he had to backtrack. the spokesman said the governor singled out some areas of the budget he would eliminate or curtail all in the name of achieving a balanced budget. this would not be getting rid of the organization, they being the planned parenthooded achieve balance we have to make some tough decisions about spending. even in doing that where he might have clarified what he probably intended to say in missouri. didn't romney also tick off some

of the fanatics who who say, what do you mean you don't want to eliminate planned parenthooded. >> it was not just the fanatics, you have prominent democratic lawmakers stepping forward saying enough with bringing up planned parenthood. we thought this was put to rest for a while after the coleman debacle. and you know, you you had a video from the dnc today and a lot of female lawmakers coming forward with statements that pounced on romney's attack on planned parenthood. it's certainly not just the fanatics who from upset about it. it's a lot of prom democrats. i think that you saw the survey, the public agrees. they're sick of dealing with this issue, and every time you think that it's put to rest it comes up again. >> i didn't mean fanatics being

pro planned parenthooded. i meant the fantasticked on the republican side who would then respond to romney's backtrack by saying what do you mean you don't want to get rid of planned parenthood. are we convinced this was not a dog whistle, and it was not just a mistake in rephrasing in the amount of misphrasing that romney is able to commit in a week's time. >> it might have been an ink wink and nod by those who would like to defund planned parenthooded. i think it was a misstep but romney has not been able to articulate his message clearly and that's why he's foundering with voters in all these states that are picking rick santorum and newt gringrich like they did last night. >> sarah libby, thank you for your time tonight. >> thanks, keith. >> the guy who quit goldman

even if it comes at the disservice of their clients. greg smith claims after 12 years he has just discovered the culture has changed. he claims it used to be about happying clients maybe in the 18 40's, but now it makes me ill how callous about talk about ripping people off. the current executive officer lost hold of the culture on their watch. a lot of what he described such as the pushing of stocks that have little potential for profit called axes on to clients from similarly described in a senate report following the financial collapse in 2008 and there is no information whether he participated in these actions in

goldman. my proudest movements in life getting a full scholarship from south africa to stanford university. and winning a prones table for the maccabiah games known as the jewish olympics. glad you mentioned it. wow, it only took him 12 years to figure this out. i gather that wall street lost one of its best and brightest tonight. >> actually, two of those muppets, you know those two old guys i think they were goldman sachs clients. he said he had been there for 12 years, what kept him there all these years? an average golden worker with $400,000 to $500,000. you average that out 12 years assuming he was average which he was clearly above average from what he told us. he probably made $5 million or $6 million over the course of 12 years in the company. he had enough to keep him padded now that he's leaving.

>> i can understand why people think this was a great revelation. but why after a few hours i think it became clear to anybody who thought well, this is a daring gesture by this young man might have given way by looking at it, yeah, he talks about his success playing ping-pong as well. something of the bloom went off the rose quickly but this was taken seriously on the network nightly news broadcast tonight why? >> not just there. this is a profile in non-courage. in march people get their bonuses in january and february. if you're really courageous and you want to put it on the line you might do this in november-december before getting that last check. i was at a meeting with my publisher, i have a book coming out in a couple of months. they said every publisher in town is calling every agent in town to try to sign this guy up to do a book deal. i don't think we've heard the last. but i think what it is, goldman

still has this mystique, the way theyankees have mystique, and no one leaves these places voluntarily. the prospect of some insider telling all, even if they were, you know, not not an all-star but utility infielded that gets people excited. if this guy had worked at morgan stanley or citigroup we would not be having this conversation. maybe we should be waiting for the even rekay story. >> today is my last day in the empire after 12 years first as a summer intern, then in the death star and now in london i believe i have worked here long enough to understand the trajectory of the people, it's people and genocidal space machines. the firm has veered so far from the place i joined right out of yoda college that i can no

longer in good conscience point menacingly say i identify what it stands for. >> not to devader the spoof here. >> i think wall street is very upset that darth vader is thinking of resigning from the death star. this is easily shrugged off. this is not someone who is a household name. if somebody at the top level of goldman had resigned, it would be in the wall street--they wouldn't have to write an op-ed in "the new york times" to call attention to the fact. there was an internal e-mail that went out under the ceo's name and said, you know, this guy was vice president, a title which 12,000 of our 30,000 people have. so they were sort of making it clear that this guy was not some big player. of course, he was important in what he did. he probably had people who worked for him but he was not a known quantity in the markets not particularly known for

people in the firm, and certainly not known on wall street. the only way this guy was going to get attention for leaving was by cloaking it in some large public gesture. >> the economic senator for yahoo finance dan gross, who does not list on his resumé playing ping-pong. >> i was an alternate. >> they wouldn't let me in the room. thank you, dan. >> thank you. >> ifgive a congressman like pete king a budget, he'll start witch-hunt. give him the camera he acts like the tv host >>i'm a political junkie. this show is my fix.

>> the president's healthcare reform two years he in, it will cost less. it will also cover less, and 14% of the americans polled about it think it has already been the newest voice in cable news is on the new news network. >>it is an independent progressive voice and i love that. >>jennifer granholm joins current tv. a former two term governor. >>people like somebody who's got a spine. >>determined to find solutions... >>we need government to ensure that people have freedom. >>driven to find the truth... >>what's really going on? >>fearless, independent and above all, politically direct.

>> in less than two weeks the supreme court will hearing arguments about key provisions of healthcare report. the mandate to guy insurance and states being forced to expand medicaid. that looms the congressional budget office projections that showed the affordable care act will cost less and cover less. saying about 2 million fewer americans will have coverage by by 2016 under reform. and originally it predicted 32 million who would not have coverage, the estimate is now 30 million. and it's expected to cost $50 billion less than anticipated last year. public reaction to reform is understandably muddled. kaiser family foundation has done a poll that shows 14% of americans think that the supreme court ruled against the affordable care act. americans are in fact evenly divided over the panels of

healthcare reform. what is at issue in the heart of the supreme court case is the mandate section of the bill which requires all americans to purchase healthcare by 2014 or face some financial penalty. the kaiser sur vie fines more than half of americans, 51%, thinks the government is overstepping it's bound. even though it's a huge majority of those surveyed, currently live under a mandate to buy auto insurance. joining me now jonathan cone, author of sick, the untold story of american healthcare crisis and the people who pay the price. good to have you here. >> thank you for having me on the show. >> so this is offered downward in terms of expense and coverage. what does that mean as a practice tall matter. >> as a practical matter it really doesn't mean that much. they'll go back to their projection of what the healthcare bill will cost. we know more now about how the

economy will look, and so the numbers, they dance a little bit around year to year. as you just described they're projecting that it will reach slightly fewer people but it will cost slightly less money. the bottom line is the same as it's always been. this bill because of this law 30 million people who wouldn't have had health insurance are going to get health insurance. most people with health insurance won't lose it. the bill will pay for itself, and over time it's going to actually reduce the deficit. that's what the cbo said when the law passed, and that's what the cbo said today. >> of course we know what statistics have been used for in this entire public relations war since healthcare reform was proposed after the president took office. is there anything in here that you see could be particularly stretched out of shape and used particularly by the opponents of healthcare reform? >> yeah, actually, there was something used just that way today. you know right after the cbo report came out i got flooded with press releases from republican offices on capitol hill saying oh, my god the cbo

had discovered that healthcare reform was this huge expensive boondoggle and the critics were right all along. i'm being literal. they went through the projection tables. they found the single largest number in the tally and they said aha, this is what the bill is going to cost. but it was just one of the numbers that the cbo was using to find certain what the bill will do. in fact, like i said, the bottom line is what it's always been. the cbo thinks that this law will save money. the republicans don't like that, but that's what the cbo is saying. >> i thought the most interesting number in terms of putting a face on something that you and i have talked about is that 14% number, that 14% already thought the supreme court had overturned this. is this the kind of tangible indicator, measure of how much a multi billion dollar industry can mess with the nation's collective head? >> yeah, i think it is. look the healthcare law has

started to help some people. we have young adults getting on their parents' policies. seniors are seeing their drug costs come down. but most of the big changes in the law don't happen until 2014. meanwhile you have this industry out r and the republicans out there hammering away day after day, it's expensive. it will destroy your liberty. it will create death panels. that will have an effect, people will get confused and it start to sink in. >> the opinion poll that the car insurance mandate is state by state and it varies on the automobile and all this and that and the health insurance mandate is nationally. practically speaking it makes no difference. what does it say that 51% of americans think it is some sort of intrusion whereas presumably car insurance mandatory car insurance is not some kind of intrusion. >> again, i think this is the effect of this propaganda

campaign. it is just like car insurance. you know, it's really like social security if you think about it. social security is basically the government saying, look at some point you're going to get old so we're going to have you pay as you go, and pay into a system when you get old you'll have a pension. that's what we're doing here. at some point you're going to get sick. we'll have you pay something towards the cost of your future healthcare. it's really in principle the same thing. the only drinks this time not everyone is getting a check straight from the government. a lot of people will get their insurance from a private insurance company. but the transaction i obligation, it's the same thing. >> thanks for being on the program. >> thanks for having me. >> did you know it's illegal to record somebody getting arrested in their home and use that video for private purposes without that person's consents. the producessers of "coppies know

videoing inside of another person's residents. later it was removed from youtube entirely. a new edited version of the video was posted three hours later where it appears to be filmed in private residents where other sections were removed where in one king brags about his heroics. >> and that hat. king's office however still claims the congressman did nothing wrong, telling the wall street journal congressman king was invited by the u.s. marshal to company them on a series of raids and everything was done in lieuance of their procedures. i'm from the bronx. i can talk like that. it makes you wonder why king has not removed both versions of the video from his youtube page.

joining me now from citizen radio, jamie kilstein. welcome. >> thanks for having me again. i love that radio. >> it seems that we ought to see how law enforcement is being impeded by congressman. >> if republicans get to have a bunch of old white men and religious fanatics talk about or hypothesize about how vaginas work we ought to have video on king playing dress up and i won't talk about the other subjects you raised. maybe i'm naive but i like to think that the chairman of the homeland security, maybe not in the state homeland security guy regional one or something like that, but the chairman in the house would know what the laws are relative to the u.s. marshals, else if he's free freaking going to ride with them. >> that man happens to be pete

king. who instead of fussing around--there is no time for law when you're sitting at home watching reruns of "24". he has to run around his apartment pretending he's jack bower not creepy jack bower but cool jack bower. >> i don't want to impugn him because he does so much to impugn himself but there was a congressman who talked about the dangerous of this country and said don't you watch "24"? and cited it as if it was wikipedia. >> there were a punch. >> there might have been, but i don't want to stick to that. >> i called my wife and asked her, i think i'm profileing white dudes. >> very good. we're doing what we're accuseing him of doing. why did he do this? what did he do a ride-along for? this is for news reporters and anchors, people like me, not

people we elected to congress. >> isn't it perfect for the prototype for these tough-guy republicans. they advocate the wars for torture, spying, but when they need to do something quote/unquote brave they need to be surrounded by a team of armed marshals. i'm not surprised if they had to give him a plastic begun and a danger whistle to keep him were hyperventilating. >> we see him in the police jacket and they gave him a hat so he's official. he has a baseball cap. at that point if you're the perp in this, could you not say wait a minute. i was arrested by 23 marshals and a cop and a guy impersonating a marshal. >> totally. i'm expecting him to go town to the occupy wall street professor and pepper spray him. >> don't give him ideas. he could also be impersonating a congressman. right. >> what about the implication

that he close lined somebody. >> i think that's the implications that he wanted us to have. you watch it and it's almost sad. you can see the childhood bully in his eyes when he talks about getting the bad guise. he had his pretend police hat and badge to pretend he was a big boy. you almost have to empathize with him. >> no, sorry. >> here's where i can relate. you always talk about guys always think about sex. in reality guys at least twice a day will be in a bank or restaurant and think about what would happen if a robber came in and how we would defeat them with ninja skills we don't possess. that's what he does. >> just like he says anyone with a turbine and identify them as a muslim. what if this guy turns out to be. >> he'll drag him down.

>> or hand him a subpoena or going on a ride long and bust them for going into a mosque or prayer center,. >> when you said that i'm picturing an as they go for the actual bad guy, every time he sees a muslim, there he is, no, there he is nope. there he is nope. >> there is an unfortunate twilight based on that premises, and we know how that turned out. he does provide incredible amounts of material. >> he does. i wish we didn't have to do it. i wish the next time we came here we could say do you remember how everything worked out. >> yeah, when is that going to happen. we're so far in the current cycle of calendars, we're in our our 2,012th year of that not happening. the host of citizen radio jamie kilstein. thank you. >> thanks. >> that's "countdown" and thanks again for getting through another day of this cra
