>> clayton: exactly. >> alisyn: brian, thanks for the fun from indianapolis. we had a great time with you out there. thank you. >> clayton: join us in the "after the show" show, more kilmeade. >> after the show show, patrick peterson and... >> eric: good morning, we start with a "fox news alert." another big win for mitt romney. and now, onto minnesota, colorado and missouri and the republican presidential race. the former massachusetts governor last night locking up the resounding victory in nevada, taking 48% of the vote in the state's republican caucuses. with his victory speech he directed his jabs at president obama, not his g.o.p. opponents. >> four years ago, candidate obama came to nevada promising to help but after he was elected, his help was telling people to skip coming here for conventions and meetings. today nevada unemployment is

over 12%, home values have plummeted, and nevada's foreclosure rate is the highest in the nation. i have walked in nevada neighborhoods, blighted by abandoned homes, and where people wonder why barack obama failed them. well, mr. president, nef has va had enough of your kind of help. [cheers and applause]. >> eric: good morning and welcome to america's news and election headquarters, for this sunday morning, i'm eric sean. >> jamie: it was a busy weekend, i'm jamie colby, maine and nevada speaking and mitt romney winning a decisive double-digit margin as we mentioned, romney got 48% of the vote and newt gingrich a distant second with 23% and ron paul with 19, rick santorum, 11. casey steegel was monitoring the developments, and is live in las vegas for us, right now. casey, tell us about speaker knunewt gingrich first and any reaction he had to the results. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, jamie.

we should also point out the numbers that we're giving are not all of the precincts reporting. a little more than 70% of them are reporting at this hour. much of clark county, we do not know the results of, right now. and that is the most densely populated part of the state. and we are expecting those numbers to start trickling in later this morning. now, to speaker newt gingrich, he knew he was heading into n nevada with a disadvantage, mitt romney is wildly popular here, the former massachusetts governor won the state in '08 with 51% of the vote. and he knew that ron paul does well in caucus states particularly picking up a high number of the conservative tea party vote. we were here at the venetian hotel last night, where speaker gingrich held a pros conference and dismissed any claims that he is dropping out of this race. >> every primary day, caucus day, the romney headquarters in boston sends out the rumor that they believe i will withdraw

which is of course their greatest fantasy. i'm not going to withdraw. i'm actually pretty happy with where we are, and, i think the contrast between governor romney and me is going to get wider and wider and clearer and clearer over the next few weeks. >> reporter: jamie, he continued going on to say that he is going to be campaigning all the way to the republican national convention, in tampa, this summer. >> jamie: let me ask you about how things went, calm, not so calm, contentious and i understand there was a dust-up at one of the caucuses last night. what have you learned about that? >> reporter: that was a special sundown caucus that happened for people of the jewish faith because they could not vote in the morning because of the sabbath. and we understand that there were some tensions flaring at that caucus event and after some folks were upset, they were required to sign documents stating they needed to attend the evening event because the

religious obligations prevented them from caucusing earlier in the day with everyone else. reportedly, some shouting going on, even some shoving and colorful language used but no arrests or anything of that nature to report. >> jamie: good news, thanks, casey steegel, working a long shift there in nevada. thanks. serving it continues, ron paul and rick santorum leaving nevada in the rearview mirror and are now focusing on the contests coming up this week. both campaigns looking for a big day on tuesday, where there will be contests in colorado, minnesota and missouri. >> we do a fair amount of criticizing the current administration, which deserves it. [applause]. >> but our problems didn't occur in the last three years. our problems have been around a long time and, unfortunately, it has been a bipartisan affair, too often. >> on tuesday i think we'll do well in missouri. it will be interesting because it is a head-to-head between

governor romney and myself and speaker gingrich is not on the ballot and ron paul is and we'll wait and see whether the idea the one conservative who can go up against mitt romney head-to-head and win. >> eric: rick santorum will be a guest on fox news sunday and coming up in a few minutes chris wallace will detail a preview of the conversation and the next hour we'll preview what is expected in minnesota, former minnesota senator, norm coleman will be here to talk about what is going on in that state. >> jamie: and it is worth taking a look i think at last time around. because, more than 44,000 republicans took part in the nevada caucuses, mitt romney did prove victorious back then, too, securing 51% of the vote and ron paul finished second, with over 13-1/2%. the eventual republican nominee, john mccain finished third. meanwhile, the democratic caucuses saw more than 2-and-a-half times the participation. hillary clinton actually bested then candidate barack obama.

scoring nearly 51% of the vote herself to mr. obama's 45%. and if you want to take a more in-depth look at the nevada caucuses and the latest on the 2012 race, all you have to do is go to our web site, foxnews.com/check out our complete coverage, and great blogs, by a lot of our folks, that are out in the field with the candidates. >> eric: a "fox news alert" for you. brand new video coming into fox news, of extensive military exercises that are about being conducted by iran's elite revolutionary guard. the drills are iran's latest show of force after those threats to close the strait of hormuz in retaliation for the tougher western sanctions on iran's nuclear program. it comes after the united nations inspection team from the international atomic energy agency didn't get very far in dealing with iran's disputed program. can the world stop iran from building a potential nuclear bomb? joining us as he does every sunday about this time, it is former u.s. ambassador to the

united nations, john bolton and a fox news contributor. ambassador, welcome, as always. >> good morning, glad to be here. >> eric: the u.n. visit was largely seen as a failure as you predicted. >> interesting in some respects. the u.n. inspectors believe they would have a chance to go to the deeply buried uranium enrichment facility and u.n. inspectors were there as recently as late october but that was before enrichment had gone and it was something forecast out of vienna before they left and they didn't go there. i think that was a significant development but u.n. circles achieved a great victory and they had a meeting in iran and agreed to another meeting three weeks later and the success as they define it, what it means, i think, most important, is that iran has strung it out for another three weeks. >> eric: they call it having a dialogue and they are happy with this alleged dialogue but, look, they were denied access to the

believed head of the nuclear program, not visiting the two formerly secret nuclear sites and no information on potential nuclear warheads and no information on the scientists, no interviews with the scientists they want. no access now or in the future, to any documents or the nuclear scientists. what does that tell you? >> i think iran has successfully stone-walled in the past and i think this was another episode about it. and, these interviews with the nuclear scientists, the reason that not giving the iaea access to them is significant is that the iaea people are very knowledgeable about the nuclear fuel cycle and nuclear weapons and would try and interrogate these scientists and technicians, to find out what they were up to. now, iran can rehearse its people all they want, but, there is always the possibility they'll let something slip and i think this stone-walling by iran while pretending to be open and transparent, is part of the continuing rope-a-dope they are

putting the u.n. and the west through to buy more time to get closer to actually fabricating nuclear weapons. >> eric: talking about the rope-a-dope, wait until they get in the ring with the security council. what will happen there. >> not much and yesterday when russia and china double-vetoed a resolution calling on president assad of syria to step down is a good indication. you know, from everything we could see, the obama administration, britain, france, were shocked -- shocked -- that russia actually vetoed this very watered down resolution. i think the russians had given clear indication of what they would do and has enormous implications for iran, because, many countries, india and is a prime example, have said they are simply going to ignore new u.s. and eu sanctions against iran unless they are adopted by the security council. and i think the russian and chinese vetoes yesterday on syria, foreshadow vetoes on any effort for more iran sanctions

in the security council. >> eric: and if there are no more sanctions in the security council, not like they've had, you know, the ultimate effect that the west wants, what is your prediction? >> this is an important point, earlier this week, the director of national intelligence, general clapper, testified to congress that all of the existing sanctions, all of them had had no effect whatever on iran's nuclear program. and, so the odds that the new sanctions which were full of exceptions and loopholes, will have much effect, i think just doesn't stand the test of reality. so, the bottom line is, iran continues to make progress towards get the nuclear weapon capability, and the sanctions are failing, diplomacy has failed, we're coming to a very, very difficult point here. i think in the near future. >> eric: ambassador john bolton, as we will stick with the situation on iran, thank you so much for your in sight. as always. >> thank you. >> jamie: back to the race for the white house and high n

unemployment is front and center and you look at the latest jobs numbers and the jobs report, will it change? the labor department showing the unemployment rate falling again, now, it is at 8.3%, it happened last month. because employers added 243,000 jobs, more than expected. how about the impact of this? will it change what we are hearing on the g.o.p. campaign trail? joining us now, john fund, senior editor of "the american spectator" and it is great to have you here. particularly on this topic. we want to get excited about the job numbers but i want to break it done a little bit further. 8.3 is still 8.3, and the question is, the quantity and quality of the jobs that we're seeing within that number of what was created. is it really the upside? are we coming back where employment is concerned? >> look, it is a good jobs number and retail sales are up and looks like we are heading towards 3% growth and in the short-term, we have a decent number. but, part of the reason the

unemployment rate fell is 1.2 million people dropped out of the labor force. they gave up looking for work and now we that have the lowest participation in the labor force since 1981. which was another deep recession and it is shrinking unemployment but, basically, in large part, because people are giving up. in the medium-term, i think we're looking at problems. because we have the congressional budget office last week coming out and we have the blue chip economic forecasters, all predict, the unemployment is going to be probably stuck around 8.5% by the time we reach election day. part of that is because you were is about to go into deep recession because of the euro crisis. and when europe catches pneumonia we at least catch a cold and i think in the short run, the economy is struggling upwards but there is a lot of cloud cover keeping it down. >> jamie: when you hear the obama administration talk about these new numbers, they are excited and want people to know people are getting back to work and as u, a 30-year low in terms of workforce participation.

you are sitting on the sidelines and you find you may have to take a job lower and less rewarding than you had before. let me move it a step forward and ask you about retirement for baby boomers. is that scenario changing? even though the economy seems to be inching forward? >> well, increasingly, baby boomers are deciding to work longer. because their investments are not as strong and social security certainly only provides a small part of what people need to live on. the job growth of the next few years we are seeing is going to be in things like nursing and health care, and retail sales and things like that. to care for those baby boomers and those are generally lower-paying jobs than what people are used to. as you said. we are seeing fewer high paid manufacturing jobs and fewer high paid -- higher paid white collar jobs and the composition of the workforce is changing and a lot of people are getting work and will not work the horse they want. remember, if you add in under employment, people who say they want to work 40 hours a week and

cannot get 0 hou40 hours a week are looking at 15, 16, 17% of the population. >> you have to keep that in mind, people in that sector, gutsy enough to go out and look for some work and last question on each side, the republican and the democrat side. are we getting an accurate portrayal from each of where they see the jobs numbers and the optimism or pessimism we have to have to be realistic? >> look, everyone spins, the job of the obama administration says it is wonderful news and the recovery is back and the job of the republicans to say everything is still doom and gloom. the real factor here is, we are three years into this recession, or slowdown. we're finally seeing good news. the good news is eventually going to lead to higher job growth. but it is very slow, the slowest we have ever seen and we have to ask ourselves, could we have different policies to accelerate it more or the economic

uncertainty the obama administration and congress helped crate, is it really dampening the scope of the recovery and could it be growing much faster. >> jamie: john fund, expertise is helpful. thanks. eric? >> jamie, we have breaking news out of san diego, where the navy is discharging 8 sailors for hazing. some of the violence apparently caught on videotape. peter doocy is live with details. you don't often hear about hazing in the military, you know, it apparently takes place. what happened and what led to the punishment? >> eric, a sailor says he blacked-out after being choked during a hazing incident on board the bonhomie richard. based in san diego and 8 other sailors were discharged from the navy. i have seen a videotape of the incident where there is definitely rough housing but, the sailor who said he was assaulted does not appear to pass out at any time at least not in the video. burt he felt he was rushed up on

january 17th, down in the birthing area of the ship and went to his superior areas and filed a report and as a result the 8 sailors were discharged. lieutenant commander david mccain says when an incident like this happens, it has to be taken care of, it goes contrary to our core values. and the sailor who filed the report did get treatment for injuries but we're told they were not serious. and, it is worth pointing out, none of the 8 sailors discharged have appealed the captain's decision. >> eric: it comes as, on capitol hill there were concerns about hazing this last week and what were the congressional leaders saying? >> reporter: right on thursday, judy chu said too many patriotic young people who want to serve our country are being harmed and the highest military officials must make eliminating hazing a top priority. they must stop pretending there is no problem and none will change until the secretary of defense commits to eradicate the culture of hazing so ingrained within our troops. and, her campaign overall is one

that is seeking to end suicide by servicemen and women who are victims of hazing in the military. eric? >> eric: thanks so much. jamie? >> jamie: i'm glad we're going to talk about this, because it is super bowl sunday and a lot of people will be eating microwave popcorn but not so fast. we'll tell you whether or not this quick and easy snack is actually safe, it turns out microwaves and the popcorn could pose a hobble health ripossible. that and nor and a surprise coming up in "sunday house call." so who ordered the cereal that can help lower olesterol and who ordered the yummy cereal? yummy.

>> eric: big wins in florida and nevada giving mitt romney a lot of momentum, today on fox news sunday, rival rick santorum says mitt romney's record could hurt the republican chances of reclaiming the white house. >> governor romney, more than speaker gingrich doesn'treate the need to beat barack obama, we give away the health care issue if he's the nominee and cap-and-trade and wall street bailouts and the government interventions into the private sector and you think a ceo business man would oppose

government intervention at the obtrusive levels they are and sided with big government and not business and undermines his own credibility. >> eric: joining us now is the anchor of fox news sunday, chris wallace. >> good morning. >> eric: that is the argument both newt gingrich and santorum use. will it work? >> it hasn't so far. certainly not the last two states, florida and nevada. interesting, for santorum, he didn't campaign in either and knew he wouldn't do well in either, but he plans doing well in a caucus in colorado and minnesota and a beauty contest, nonbinding primary in missouri. and almost has to do well. i asked him in the interview if it is make or break and he denies that. at a certain point, finished third, third and fourth and last, last night. he has to do better. and, if he doesn't he'll run out of money. so we'll see how he does, interestingly enough, a

rasmussen poll is out, take it for what it is worth, these tracking polls shows santorum this is one candidate beating obama by a point, well within the margin of error, leading obama, romney and gingrich behind obama and that is another selling point he'll try to make. >> eric: that is such a dichotomy, she squeaked out the win in iowa, yet he is not winning the latest rounds? >> you know, you have problems. first of all, electability is a huge issue, look at the exit polls in nevada, and, romney sweeps, i'm not sure they are not readers of the rasmussen poll, romney sweeps the field on that and, newt gingrich gets a lot and paul gets a lot of the conservative vote and the libertarian vote and santorum has to find his place and one of the arguments he's making, eric, you know, newt had his chance, in florida, to go up, basically

one-on-one against romney and his chance in nevada and, give me my chance to go up against romney and we'll see how it works out. >> eric: fascinating and it will continue on tuesday with the contests, chris, thank you, always good to see you. absolutely, you can watch his one-on-one interview with rick santorum on fox news sunday, which is later today here on the fox news channel. 2:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m., only, right here. jamie? >> jamie: and i know you have a look at minnesota for us, larry and we look forward to that. meanwhile, you get ready for your super bowl party and you will be watching fox news, too. we know now that microwave popcorn could be dangerous. there is something in the bag you need to know about, keep it here on the fox news chan, "sunday house call" is coming up with our medical a-team, three minutes away.

♪ >> jamie: welcome back, everybody, today's the one day of the year i know you need help tips because there will be a lot of eating going on today. for sure! "sunday house call" is here now and joining us this morning, dr. marc siegel, associate professor of medicine at the nyu langone medical center and author of "the hidden pulse, unlocking the secret code of sickness and health". >> eric: and dr. david smfvid s of mt. sinai medical parents. >> the first is for parents and we are all interested, we heard popcorn, there's a lot of buzz, giving it to your kids and using the microwave to make it. there is an issue with vaccines? >> this is wild. something called perflourinated

compounds, and we keep things clean with them and, they are in microwave popcorn, and a researcher found, when they were exposed to the compounds, five years later when they were five didn't have the same antibodies with the diphtheria vaccine and i think that is a stretch, 600 kids. it is a stretch but the problem is, now, i e-mailed him and he responded in the middle of the night, 2:00 a.m. and said, he thinks though the reason, was fish here he thinks it would be a ply to any of these compounds and i think it is wrong and is a huge stretch and he didn't show any problem with diseases here. pie in the sky. >> the story goes way beyond popcorn and vaccinations, three months ago we had bpa, bisphenol-a, and it is found in the water bottles and, also in

the microwave, and you have to be naive with the particular study you will stop have popcorn and popcorn is this reason but each of these have an impact and a little of bps and a little bit of the pfc, it adds up. >> jamie: is it the popcorn or not give our kids food made in the microwave. it would be a big, bold change. >> i'm worried about the radiation from the microwave but today we are talking about the linings, and it is good to know it but you cannot avoid being exposed to it. the list of things: drinking water, microwave popcorn, dental cleaners, nail polish, and, shoes, shampoo, a bunch of wires, and, seafood, and, gortex and a big one to watch is the teflon, the pans with teflon have the pfcs and

the big message out there is look for products that have something called perfluoril and, stay away from them. >> eric: does it say it on the product? >> the key point is the studies have been done in mice and show an effect with immune function and i agree we should look out for it but we don't know exactly what casual exposure means. >> that is a reason why, because we don't know, want to make sure and protect our kids, can youen not just close your eyes, not pay attention to this. the issue we have here is, that fda and epa need to look into it seriously and a lot of products coming from china have high pfcs and i'm concerned. >> eric: and they talk about not micro waving in plastic. put it into a glass bowl and take it out of the plastic container. cause for concern. >> and using regular plates, not paper plates. but as david said we need more

studies to see who low amount of it does and fda and epa are -- >> my wife covered the microwave and the short answer is, we should pack and move to another planet. we are exposed to this and you asked about the issues with, why all the gluten allergies and all of the allergies, each one of these impacts is a war on our immune system and each one of them collectively accumulation is a problem. >> jamie: and environmental concerns and for folks watching, it's not the kernels of popcorn. the popcorn growers, it is the bag it is in. >> and once in a while a little popcorn is good. we have super bowl, okay to have -- >> you will not stop eating popcorn. >> eric: psoriasis. 7.5 million americans have psoriasis and it can be difficult and there are ways to track the symptoms, dealing with psoriasis, and dr. samadi, what is this. >> psoriasis, as you said,

affects 7.5 million people and it is noncontagious and is an inflammatory process of the skin. the typical red, scaly kind of lesions. and the flare-ups can back and wayne and come at any age, you see them on elbows and arms an election and there is a lot of hypothesis, infection or environmental. but really is an overactive immune system causes it. what they think. >> jamie: overactive. >> yes. and that is interesting. by making more skin, almost ten times more, they don't have enough time to shed the skin and that is why you have the psoriasis, the biggest thing is to pay attention to the physiologic and physical part of it, pay attention to the emotional. they have a tough time in public, beach and swimming pools and the way to really do this is to keep a diary of your symptoms. find out the frequency and the extension and the doctors want to know about this. and of course there are a lot of good treatments, we talked in the past about moisture rise,

moi moisturize and i said use the cream. ahava. and there are many of them. and, moisturize and topical steroids is the way. not systemic. >> i see a lot of patients with psoriasis. it is a huge spectrum and it has to do with the immune system, here's what happens, skin breaks down too rapidly. too much turnover, you make too many new skin cells. >> jamie: you think it would be the opposite. >> and you make them over 3-6 days instead of a month and your skin has dead and live skin cells mixed together and, what do you do? sometimes you treat with steroid creams and sometimes ultraviolet lights work and immunosuppressive agents, 3% of the population has some

psoriasis and over a third is genetic. if someone in your family has it you may have it and the number one thing you look for is stress. it brings on psoriasis, changes in habits. infection brings it on and many diseases do and common medications, like ibuprofen. >> jamie: it could be a side effect. >> it is hard to know exactly what stress does and immunosuppression tests -- medications should be given to the severe ones because the i'd effects of those are high. >> jamie: we should talk stress and help folks out there. not stressing about your team or anything. in the meantime, if you have stress it may settle in your back and turns out backaches are really a painful fact of life for many people, and nothing worse, right, doc? fortunately, though, the doctors have suggestions, ways that you can take care of your back, maybe even prevent the pain,

>> jamie: welcome back, everybody, how many times this month did you say this: oh, i'm aching -- my achy back. the doctors say you don't have to. it isn't just heavy lifting or sleeping the wrong way. there are surprising everyday habits we are doing causing the aches and pains. dr. siegel we are all ears on this one. >> the number one problem is sitting. 40% more stress on your spine by sitting and back pain, by the way, is -- there we go. >> jamie: you guys can't follow

my lead. >> sitting is that simple. the way we sit, we make like the letter c and in reality we are supposed to stretch our spine and we put too much pressure on our hips and we get more and more spasms. three -- 30% of all operations are actually due to back pain and, five times more hospitalizations due to back pan than almost anything else you can think of and the reality is it is easy to treat, get up, walk around, seeing your internist and back specialist if necessary. >> jamie: heat or ice? >> some of this is a natural part of life. and some is degenerative and, you have heard of spinal stenosis and not enough blood gets there and it could be neurologic and it could be, herniated disc and there are

some things called referred pain and, if you have andortic aneurysm, or other things, and thick like prostate cancer that spread to the bone, pay attention to that. >> jamie: but, doctors, once in a while, get up, right. >> with daily exercise and two studies in the annals of internal medicine show yoga may be better than anything else for back pain, it focuses mentally and physically and you know what work most of all, when you wake in the morning, roll over on your stomach, when you do that, all the tension you put in the hip muscles and back muss the day before you stretch out. and before you get out of bed roll onto your stomach. >> a lot of times, as mark said, sitting, stretch back and go from 90 to 135°, make sure you do your yoga and swimming. get rid of the heavy bag, sometimes women wear their

something called fap... if you have that gene it is important, because almost 100% of them with you end up with colon cancer at a young age. screening plays a big role, typically, colonoscopy at age 50 and doctors such as dr. siegel will check the stool for blood an sigmoidsigmoidoscopy, the nu are coming down, fortunately, stay away from fatty food and add fiber and the study we'll talk about is something calledal lutiolin, and we are finding fibers that inhibit the growth factors and it helps. >> the key is fiber. david talked about, the flavinoids, and, the yellow colored plant, you can find it in carrots and celery and there's a study out that looks

like this actually decreases your risk of colon cancer. now, david i'll surprise you now, but my absolute mentor in colonoscopy is at his institution, dr. jerry way, at mt. sinai medical center, one of the top guys and he said you should have your colon screened every five years over the age of 50 and he said, every else says every ten years and yes. and they come to me fork colonosco colonoscopy, and he said the reason is it takes 8 years for a policy in to turn into cancer and colon screening. the best test to have. >> eric: so important. >> jamie: why not. thanks, doc, we are living a lot longer, hopefully and many of us are left to care for our elderly parents, some of us even grandparents. we have some important tips on how you can manage their care, especially if you live at a long distance. we'll have this, next.

i remember the day my doctor told me i have an irregular heartbeat, and that it put me at 5-times greater risk of a stroke. i was worried. i worried about my wife, and my family. bill has the mos common type of atrial fiillation, or afib. it's not caused by a heart valve problem. he was taking warfarin, but i've put him on pradaxa instead. in a clinical trial, pradaxa 150 mgs reduced stroke risk 35% more than warfarin without the need for regular blood tests. i sure was glad to hear that. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding, and seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition like stomach ulcers, or take aspirin, nsaids, or bloodthinners, or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all medicines you take, any planned medical or dental procedures, and don't stop taking pradaxa without your doctor's approval,

as stopping may increase your stroke ri. other side effects include indigestio stomach pain, upset, or burning. pradaxa is progress. if you have afib not caused by a heart valve problem, ask your doctor if you can reduce your risk of stroke with pradaxa. trouble with a car insurance claim.

potential military attack against iran's nuclear facilities as iran is conducting those war games. steve, tell us about these exercises. >> these are ground exercises by iran's revolutionary guard and come in the midst of heightened international tensions over iran's nuclear program. the ground military exercises began on saturday, south of tehran. as the top commander warned just today, iran will target any country that plays even a support role in any future military strike against iran. all this as military strikes on iran become an increasing possibility if sanctions fail to rein the islamic republic's nuclear program. >> iran continues to make progress toward getting that nuclear weapon capability. sanctions have failed, diplomacy has failed. we're coming to a difficult point in the near future.

>> the european union has threatened an oil embargo. >> we have the threat eu about the oil embargo, while iran threatens the u. what comes next? >> the u.s. wants more time to allow the sanctions to work, but israel appears more impatient to launch an airstrike. meantime a mission to iran by top nuclear inspectors from the u.n. failed to have an immediate effect. the inspectors were not allowed to visit one of the nuclear sites, not allowed to visit with key nuclear scientists. iran has threatened to close the strait of hormuz. iranian naval exercises were held in the strait last month, and more expected, so the situation highly unstable. >> thank you, steve. >> you bet. >> jamie? >> let's get more on this with jim walsh, a research associate

at mit. jim, thanks for joining us. >> thank you, jamie. good to be with you on a day that the patriots will win the super bowl. >> i don't think so. but in any event, jim, glad you're enthusiastic about that. i'm concerned about this. i'm concerned about iran, concerned about the relationship and cooperation between israel and the united states, and whether or not these three different countries with different needs, but one fear, the nuclear arms that may be in development in iran. how do we get everybody on the same page? can it be done? >> jamie, i think you put your finger on the key issue right now, and that is the three parties are not on the same page. the u.s. does not want israel to take unilateral action. many inside the u.s. government that i've spoken with fear that israel will make a unilateral attack on iran sometime over the next six months. not surprisingly therefore iran is running these exercises. there's all this chatter about

them being attacked, so they're trying to respond in kind saying don't mess with us. you know, i think part of it, the key date will be the upcoming negotiations, the so-called p5 1, the u.s. and its partners are going to sit down with iran in another month or so, if there's progress there, the chances of a military strike decline. if there's not progress, then i think it's anybody's bet at that point. >> is it possible, a hypothetical that israel could take action unilaterally, take out one of the facilities that it knows it enriching uranium, but not so a tremendous takeout that iran goes full tilt in retaliation? >> the answer is no. it's not retaliation, which is my concern, jamie. if you look at the history of the nuclear age, the history of israeli strikes on other countries, what you really run

the risk of is israel, whether the strike is small or whether it's large, that iran's response will be, oh, yeah, we'll show you, we're going to develop a nuclear weapon. our intelligence committee, the director of national intelligence, has tested publicly before congress saying that iran suspended its weapons program in 2003, and they still have not decided yet whether to go for the bomb. they're working on the nuclear program, but they haven't made that final decision. if israel strikes iran, i think there's a very high probability iran will say, oh, yeah, we're going for the bomb. that's what happened with israel's strike against iraq back in 1981. >> my u.s. military sources tell me we should take this pretty seriously, that we could be looking at potentially some conflict that the u.s. has to get involved in. when i look at the ieae iaea, ae

playing into iran's hands? they like to be isolated. >> yes and no. they're a proud country. they think nair the natural leaders in the ravage. region. i've had lots of meetings with the iranians, including the president. they prefer the attention, but not the negative attention. they don't like the sanctions. they're a proud country, and feel if they give into pressure, quote, unquote, that makes them look bad. >> interesting. >> that's why this upcoming negotiation or tweetin meeting,s going to be, i think, very important. >> because they certainly have allies on their own. let me ask you this question. if anyone attacks iran in any way, are they setting themselves up for war? >> well, you know, iran, it talks a big game, but it doesn't have what we call in the security studies field power projection capability. yes, it has hezbollah, a good

relation with hezbollah. maybe it could attack u.s. forces in afghanistan or cause problems in iraq, but it doesn't have a military like the u.s. has a military. we can pick any point in the globe any way we want at anytime we want, more or less, and iran, most of its military is focused on maintaining domestic control, not forced projection overseas. yes, they'll retaliate, cause problems, but not the sort of regular, you know, troops line up and fight each other in a traditional military battle that might happen in other parts of the world. it's going to be more what they call assays symmetrical. >> and my question is whether they would go for civilian targets or military installations somewhere. i hope we never have to ask the question or know. jim walsh, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> eric? >> jamie, it was another big night for mitt romney last night. the republican candidate for president walking away from the nevada caucuses with a

resounding victory. next on tuesday comes minnesota, missouri, and colorado. but will the win last night in nevada help cement his frontrunner status in the race for the nomination? john roberts live in las vegas with the very latest. good morning, john. >> good morning to you, eric. certainly mitt romney is beginning to look like he's got it cemented in place, beginning to look more and more like the nominee. these are pictures from last night, that might add to the air of inevitability around mitt romney. he picked up secret service protection a couple days ago. take a look at this. he's shaking hands with the crowd at his victory party last night at the red rock casino. does that look like a guy who's the candidate? sure looks like a nominee at this point. 47.6% of the vote for mitt romney at this point, compared to 22.6 for newt gingrich, ron paul and rick santorum behind that, but vote problems in clark county, where we are in las vegas. only 50% of the vote has been counted. we're trying to find out what's

going on with the other 50%. in his victory speech last night, mitt romney not even mentioning his opponents taking square aim at president obama, all right looking like this is a race not against the other republican candidates, but against president obama. listen to what he said. >> america needs a president who can fix the economy because he understands the economy, and i do, and i will. this president began his presidency by apologizing for america. he should now be apologizing to america! [cheers and applause] >> mitt romney now headed off to colorado where he won back in 2008 with 60% of the vote. expected to do well there again this year. not as clear whether or not he's going to do that well in minnesota and missouri, which is where rick santorum's been spending a lot of his time, planning for a win there. what about newt gingrich? a battle for second place still going on with 50% of the vote

here in clark county, but newt gingrich said he's in it for the long-haul. there were some reports that maybe he was going to try to reboot his campaign by dropping the negativity and going all positive, but in an interview i did with him he seemed to suggest that wasn't possible. listen to him. >> look, i wish it wasn't happening. i ran a possible positive campaign through iowa. i worked very hard in every debate to be totally positive, and romney convinced me that it wasn't possible, that if you weren't prepared to stand there and go back and forth with him you might as well get out of the race. >> newt gingrich insisting he's not getting out of the race, he's in it till the tampa convention, hoping to pick up enough delegates to achieve parity with mitt romney and take it to a broker convention. wouldn't that be exciting, eric? that hasn't happened since that i can remember. >> me either. that would be astounding. what a races, hasn't it been, john? >> sure has. mitt romney obviously trying to close the door here, trying to put him around this atmosphere

of inevitability, whether or not it will last we'll see, because three more contests coming up on tuesday, eric. >> we'll talk about minnesota in just a moment with norm coleman. john in las vegas, thank you so much. >> let's take a look at some of the gop contests that are still ahead. on february 7th, 48 hours from tuesday, minnesota and colorado holding their caucuses, and missouri holding a nonbinding primary. then next saturday, maine announcing the results of their week-long caucuses. we'll have all of that four. taking a look at where the candidates stand in this race, mitt romney has 97 delegates. newt gingrich at 30 after his victory in south carolina, and a win in iowa helped rick santorum secure 16 delegates. ron paul rounding out the pack with a total of seven. the candidates need 1,144 delegates to clinch the republican nomination. >> as we've been saying in about 48 hours from now, voters in

colorado, missouri and minnesota will have their voices heard. rick santorum and ron paul have been eyeing the contests for weeks. what will happen? senator norm coleman is a former republican congressman from minnesota and joins us this morning from minneapolis. what do you predict will happen on tuesday? >> it's up in the air. a poll two weeks ago had gingrich ahead of romney 36-18, santorum and ron paul right behind. that's changed. i think that margin's gone. on the other hand, it's still a horserace here. santorum's on the air with tv commercials, ron paul had a big rally. he's done a lot of work on the ground here. so minnesota is easily in the toss-up category today. >> that would be surprising, and you're a romney man, tim paw lenpawlenty, said he can't

guarantee a romney win. is that troubling? >> it's not troubling. you got to work at democracy in minnesota. by the way, what's happening on tuesday really is a -- it's a beauty contest, a straw poll. delegates are not chosen until they go through a more complex process, basically a organizing unit. the next level which may be a county or house district, then you go to your congressional districts, and then you go to the state convention in may, may 5th. so it's a process. grassroots organizing is really important here. you know, so the ron paul folks have been out, working the college campuses. ultimately mitt romney will be the nominee. ultimately mitt romney, because of his 24 years in the private sector, offers the best chance of fixing this economy, which folks are looking for. so in the end, when we get to may, i think mitt mitt romney wo well in minnesota, but on tuesday night, a lot of grassroots things going on, and it's still not clear.

four years ago, mitt romney did well in minnesota, with over 40% of the vote, mccain about 20%, huckabee about 20%. for this year, it's not as clear. that's minnesota politics. >> you're lucky in minnesota, with one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country, in december it was at 5.9%. nevada was double that. so is there a danger that romney's economic message that played so well in nevada to give him that big win may not play as well in minnesota? >> you know what, i think the difference may be -- i don't think that's the issue. i mean, again, minnesota, if you go back in history, we had a sitting republican governor, arnie carlson, who lost the endorsement for re-election at a convention, activist, went in another direction. won overwhelmingly when it went to the primary. we had gary bauer, when george w. bush was seeking the nomination in 1999, gary bauer won the state convention. you know, activists here can -- they like to have their voice

heard. the sad thing about minnesota, is a this as a minnesotan, we haven't gone republican in a presidential contest since 1972, so there's not a lot of focus on minnesota, not a lot of national energy here. so sometimes things at the local level, grassroots politics, may have a disparate impact. bottom line mitt romney, i believe, will be the candidate. in my mind, i have no question about that. i think he'll do well in minnesota by the time we get through this process in may. but we're still early on. hasn't been a lot of focus or convention. unfortunately we tend to get people past us in the national contest because it's been so long since a republican has claimed victory in minnesota in a presidential contest. >> don't want to look past our minnesotans. >> we're thrilled that you haven't. >> senator, always good to see you. thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> all right. coming up on the fox

newschannel, abexclusive from the fox voter fraud unit. charlie white convicted of voter fraud. the democrats now say the guy he beat in the election should be sworn in. the battle in the midwest over indiana's top elections job. charlie white will join us in an exclusive interview with his reaction and what comes next right here in the next hour. >> and president obama has laid out a plan to help all the struggling homeowners whose mortgages are underwater. the folks who owe more money than their homes are worth now. we'll take a look at this new proposal. if it passes congress, will it really help? what's this? it's progresso's loaded potato with bacon. it's good. honey, i love you... oh my gosh, oh my gosh.. look at these big pieces of potato. ♪ what's that? big piece of potato.

>> the u.s. coast guard crew doing what they're trained to do. take a look at this tape. they rescued a family of three in southern oregon. one of them, as you can see, being airlifted out of the woods. the family, they were missing for three days after they left their campsite to search for mushrooms. they reportedly took refuge in a hollowed-out tree and drank water from streams until the helicopter pilot was able to spot them. one family member did suffer a back injury, another broke his ankle.

>> i am sending congress a plan that will give every responsible homeowner in america the chance to save about $3,000 a year on their mortgage by refinancing at historically low rates. no more red tape. no more run-around from the banks. and a small fee on the largest financial institutions will make sure it doesn't add to our deficit. >> sounds great. the president's plan to give the u.s. housing market a major boost and help homeowners. it seems very simple. you help the underwater homeowners refinance their mortgages, pay for some of it new fees to the bank, and then rent out vacant homes bringing more money into the economy. in today's take charge consumer protection segment, i wanted to take a look at whether or not it will all work and who will it

help, will it help you. ed butowski joining me now. hi, ed. >> hi, jamie. you're in one of the worst housing markets down in texas. the question is whether or not it will help these homeowners looking at mortgages bigger than their home is worth. some had to move out. is this new plan from the president going to help folks out like that? >> any plan that can help lower the rate that people are paying right now will certainly help. so, you know, conceptually this is wonderful, because the average mortgage is 6.75%, almost 7%. based on the president's plan this could save about $3,000 a year for most people in need of this. it's a great plan if it would work. >> the magic thing that i heard in that sound bite was no more red tape, because in 2009 the president had the affordability and stability act. it was supposed to help homeowners with $75 billion in

foreclosure easing and mortgage refinancing. how many people took advantage of that plan? because there was word, there was a lot of red tape. >> a lot of red tape. believe it or not, it actually had some success. about 900,000 people took advantage of that in one way, shape or form or another. in fact, what the president talked about is enhancing the making homes affordable act in place since 2009. >> okay. >> when they say no more red tape, here's the key, the one problem is getting through this congress a. the end of that clip you that just had, he said with a small fee to the banks. well, i don't know if $5 billion to $10 billion is a small fee. to get that through congress, that might be a difficult task. >> that's a hurdle that has to happen. maybe we should go back to the banks that we bailed out first. only $3 billion of the

$29 billion set aside for the program in 2009 has been spent. we have billions potentially available. if you're a homeowner out there right now, and you need help, which is the purpose of this take charge segment, what do you do, ed? >> first thing, you have to have at least six months where your mortgage was kept up to speed where you did not default or have a late payment, and a high credit score, or at least a good credit score of 580. that's the first step. then there's lots of different forms and things you have to fill out to apply for this. and, you know, at that point, you know, as anything, not a lot of red tape, but there's a lot of tape to get it done. they're making a strong effort to make it work. >> what about the rental of the homes? what's the benefit to the economy and homeowners if they encourage people to invest, to buy these homes that have been foreclosed, but have to rent them out? the president wants that. >> yes. this is the one part that i have a little bit of a difficult time

with, because what the president is saying is all of these homes that have been foreclosed on, we're going to let people buy those homes, but then they have to rent those homes out. what i don't like is i don't like, one, the idea is they want to sell those homes so the value of these homes in neighborhoods would go up, but that's not how it works. supply and demand dictates how much a home is worth, not based on someone renting it. in addition, i don't want people to become landlords. that's what they're basically doing. it would cost a lot of money to keep a house going, all the fixing it up, doing the lawn, all of that. we'll have a lot of landlords. i don't like that part of it. >> i don't know. i think landlords are people too, if they can help people get into better homes, save some of these homes, i'll present the other side and say maybe it's worth looking at. call your bank, ask if they can help you as well. thanks, ed. ed butowski joining us for our take charge consumer protection

that are making headlines this hour. we have some new amateur video out of syria, apparently capturing the sound of gunfire and shelling. activists are claiming more than 200 have been killed in the fighting there. and pilgrims in vatican city braving cold and snow to hear the pope speak this morning. pope benedict telling the crowd the snow is beautiful, but hopes spring come soon. we all do. and hundreds gathering in a high school auditorium in leroy, new york, seeking answers to a bizarre mystery illness that's struck the community there. so far 12 female students, one boy, and an adult woman all affected by this disorder. >> now to the fox news voter fraud unit. indiana secretary of state republican charlie white convicted of voter fraud. the jury in his voter fraud trial delivered that verdict at 2:00 in the morning yesterday, convicting white on six of seven

felony counts for illegally registering to vote at his ex-wife's house. he's denying he broke the law, saying other politicians do the same thing, and his lawyer will appeal. republican governor mitch daniels removed white from office yesterday and named a temporary replacement, white's former deputy. the democrats want the candidate who white defeated in the election to be sworn in as the new secretary of state. joining us live is charlie white in a fox news exclusive. mr. white, welcome. thanks for joining us this morning on the fox news channel. >> eric, good morning. thank you for having me on. >> you were the top elections official of indiana, yet convicted now of felony voter fraud. didn't look good. what's your reaction? >> well, what can you say? i know there's a lot of democrats internet i celebratine streets right now, some republicans that are privately happy about this. no, it doesn't look good, but

unfortunately i found out that indiana is a land of men and not of law after what happened to me, what happened to devastate my family at 2:00 in the morning on saturday morning. >> you're talking about the jury verdict coming in. do you think it's fair? >> absolutely not. we're not given all the law, and what happened yesterday was a total miscarriage of justice and it's a perversion. the law allows me to do everything i did, and the jury did not get all that law. >> you're appealing, or plan to appeal this. let's show you what the democrat, the indiana democratic party said in response to the verdict when the jury came in. here's the statement in part. it says "charlie committed a crime and will be punished for that crime. it is obvious that mitch daniels will try anything to take back this fraudulent election, but there's only one thing that should happen now. we should put the embarrassment that's charlie white behind us."

those are tough words. now a huge fight between the republicans and democrats. do you think th democrat should take the job? >> no. what bob osili was savage, what he did to my family was barbaric. i've never seen five weeks before an election an opponent having no sense of being a gentleman, trying to file something to destroy someone's family before an election, knowing he will lose. the man got beat worse than anyone in modern indiana secretary of state history. and the voters knew about this issue. they still voted for me. this is pretty bush league. he does not deserve this office. and the republicans deserve to take this spot, because we won it. the voters knew the issues. and for the democrats to say what they say, when evan bayh and susan bayh, that they live

in d.c., he's not a senator anymore, he intends to come back to indianapolis one day, back to the condo he's never lived in, fraudulently claiming he lives there as his homestead, and had the audacity to say that how they voted in november 2011 last year, when he stopped being a senator, and everyone wants to -- everyone wants to ignore that, because, again, in indiana, we're a state of men and not of law. >> well, bob osili isn't here to defend himself at the moment. we've asked him for an interview in the past. you talk about the bayh situation, that's been cleared apparently, but here's the issue. you talk about voting. mitt romney registered to vote in the basement of his son's house. richmond lugar, a longtime senator, doesn't live in the house where he's registered to vote. that's legal.

lugar says attacks are unfair. how can you not legally own the house from which you're registered to vote, and shouldn't there be something done to clean up the election laws so we have honesty and integrity and transparency in our elections? >> eric, if you lived in indianapolis, you'll find the local media, all the local media, if you're rich and famous, on either side of the aisle, they'll never mention anything about this. they will surprise it. the fact that governor daniels -- i take exception to what he said about ethics or integrity about me in the paper on sunday. mitch daniels has voted incorrectly, according to the standards put on by me the last 10 straight elections under the constitution of the state of indiana and under the statue. he shall reside in marion county, claims his homestead, $3.8 million that he built with construction documents saying it was owned by leonard watson, the designer, and it was not. then he votes down at the governor's mansion, where everyone knows he does not live. the local media will not talk

about this, because, again, it's inconvenient. we are a state of men and not of law here in indiana. >> it gets pretty detailed in the legalities and are interesting, especially when dealing with election law, but here you stand convicted, felony counts were placed yesterday by mitch daniels temporarily. what do you hope happens next? >> we're going to appeal, because there's so many fundamental errors that we think occurred. let me make it clear, eric. under the law, when people are in transition -- this is what the recount commission found, 3-0 bipartisan. under the code, if you're in transition, your residence for voting can be where your immediate family lives. when i was not married, my immediate family was the son that i shared joint custody with, and i voted and registered where i lived at the time. my immediate family, my son, lived there, and the prosecutor

fought me on the jury instruction. that instruction did not get to the jury because they said, "he can't prove that boy lives," even though their own witness who tried to testify against me that he witnessed me picking up my son, named him by name, and so i don't know where my son lives. i guess he lives in a car somewhere. >> all right, charlie white -- yes, sir, go ahead. >> i'm sorry, i didn't hear you. >> we're running out of time. i wanted you to complete your thought. >> yeah. just at the end of the day, here's what i did. i was in love. i wasn't married yet. all i wanted to do was get my fiancee out of her parents' home while i was on the campaign trail, wanted her to stay with me, keep the relationship together. i bought a place for her and her kids to live in. we agreed to not live together until we got married because i was a former family law attorney, i know how it can be when you're blending in three children through two different marriages. now i suppose the indiana

election law trumps me being able to raise my children and stepchildren the way that we want to, and i think it's a travesty, and you're going to hear a lot more from me about the equal application of law, whether that's been applied to me versus those that are rich and famous. >> charlie white, we thank you for joining us today. by the way, i should mention that a judge -- a state judge -- has ruled that the democrat vop osili should take the secretary of state's job, but that's on stay right now. thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you, eric. >> we'll be right back. what's withou? trouble with a car insurance claim. [ dennis ] switch to allstate. their claim service is so good, noit's guaranteed. [ foreman ] so i can trust 'em. unlike rdy. dolr for dollar, nobody protects you like allstate. and who ordered the yummy cereal? yummy. [ woman ] lower cholesterol. [ man 2 ] yummy.

i got that wrong didn't i? [ male announcer ] want great taste and whole gin oats that can help lower cholesterol? honey nut cheerios.

>> america's election headquarters is the place to be. you've been hearing a lot about the nominating process during the race so far. many voters supporting the presidential candidate they think is the most likely to win in the general election.

our next guest says it's so much more than that. susan estridge is a professor of political science at university of california. today's segment is spot on for what you do every day, susan, teaching students about this paroles. great to see you. >> great to see you, too. >> maybe you could me understand, why isn't the system uniform everywhere? why isn't it we all caucus or all have primaries? why do we need primaries in the place if it's the party that ultimately sides the candidate, or should it be winner take all or proportionate? >> those are a bunch of really good and hard questions. let me start with winner-take-all versus proportionate representation, because that's a fight going on in florida. the democratic party, when i used to be a rules junkie, as we call it, adopted a rule that there were to be no more

winner-take-all primaries, it was about giving people representation in the party, about party building, about making sure that minority views -- i don't mean minority by race or ethic background, but views that were very strong ideologically were represented in the process. the reason we have primaries and caucuses, if you go back in time, there used to be back, when jack kennedy was nominated, only a few stays would have primaries and caucuses, and literally the party leaders would get in the back room, they'd be influenced by those, but they'd pick a candidate. and over the years many states have said, wait a minute, we want to role in this process, it should be more democratic, it shouldn't just be limited in those states to the guys with the gi cigars. now we have a complex system in which states make the rules, individual state parties make the rules, and sometimes the national party set rules that the state has to follow.

>> i haven't been in law school in a long time, but constitutional law is the backbone of this nation, right? and the constitution doesn't even provide for the political parties, yet the supreme court has upheld their right to have so much authority over the nominating process. how do you feel about that as someone who shares these principles with the future lawyers and political followers of tomorrow? >> well, you know, i have to be honest, i teach my students that principle is a hard thing to find in election law. you know, you look at what's going on in florida right now, and you've got newt gingrich after the fact admittedly because he lost saying, wait a minute, i want to change the winner-take-all system, and have proportionate representation. so i get some delegates. they asked his spokesman, well, would you have taken that position if you won, and the guy was honest enough to say no. the republican party is saying, hold on a minute, you were going

to challenge it, challenge it before you won. so i think while i can talk about democracy and i can talk about principle, and i think about those things a lot, it's probably because they don't have a horse in this race. i remember back in the days when i was running campaigns, my position frankly was always that whatever helped my candidate should be the law. >> there's a lot of truth to that, i'm sure. susan, thank you. it's so interesting to look at the process and wonder why it takes the shape and form that it does. it's exciting. >> it's great. it's exciting w. h. we don't want it to end, because it's exciting. >> it's our super bowl. >> go patriots! >> the giants and patriots face off in a few hours in the super bowl, but next find out why rooting for the giants maybe could make your 401(k) go up.

>> many wall street traders may be pulling for the new york giants to win the super bowl tonight, but it has nothing to do with what happens on the field. our guest tells us about the super bowl stock market index. brenda? >> it's the super bowl indicator, and it's been right,

get this, 80% of the time since 1967. it's hard to find anything, any economist, who's been right that often. basically if you take a look at the old nfc teams, if one of those wins the super bowl, the market goes up that year. afc team, if you can trace it back to the old afc, the market goes down. so looks like we're rooting for the giants this year for more reasons than one, of course. >> that really is fascinating, that this has historical context, that it apparently works. >> it does. now sometimes there are quick boo-boos. 2008, tell me what happened in the super bowl that year. the giants and pats. >> yeah. giants. >> well, yeah, that was -- and the market went down 40%. we won't mention that. i will say, however, there's a direct correlation between the accuracy of this indicator and

the number of beers that you drink during the super bowl. >> all right. >> it looks a whole lot better. >> we'll see what happens tomorrow morning, the opening bell, after the game tonight. >> absolutely. >> thanks, brenda. >> you're welcome. >> we'll be right back.

>> it was a third win for mitt romney in nevada last night, and now it's on to the rest of the race. how is the media handling his run after the latest victory? liz trotter is an author, journalist, and fox news contributor who joins us every sunday at this time with

commentary. good morning, liz. >> good morning, eric. >> you know, you can see it like carnac, he's now anointed the frontrunner. >> he is, but media still loves newt gingrich, the evil genius, the guy that gives great copy and the guy they hopes gets into another media fight with a reporter, because it will make a great story. in fact, one of the commentators said last night, i believe over at cnn, said, well, you know, at least he didn't pick on reporters. that wasn't quite true. this isn't his news conference that he gave after the primary victors had come out and spoken for a while. he said, but the fact of the matter is, he was wrong. one of the reporters, it was hard to hear all of what he said, did suggest that romney was in gingrich's head. now, that's really pop psychology from the '60s or the '70s. and gingrich certainly didn't

like that, and let him know it. not as volumable terms as he has when he dangled with reporters before, but he's still there ready to fight the ignorant question when he hears it. >> this means that obviously all the reporters will keep running toward newt gingrich and santorum, both staying in the race. >> well, yes. you know, i think that's very true, because he's better copy. one thing last night that stood out if you stayed up late enough, and that was the special caucus that they had for orthodox jews and seventh day adventists who because of the religious observance of sundown couldn't vote during the day, so they headed for them later. in the end, the people who were at this caucus went for ron paul, 183 votes, but the point is that many of them had the

microphone for a while to get up and address each other, and the level of arcti arctic cue latnes masters. marvelous. these were average americans telling you what they had learned about america, what it meant to them. so far it was the best show of any kind of audience participation in the campaign. >> i hope we can see that on youtube or something. >> that would be very nice. back to the gingrich news conference, which of course will be covered more as the hours unfold today. he's not going to give up attacking romney. he basically called the man a liar, although he didn't use those words. so he's really declaring war. he's really saying that he's going to -- he's going to get the nomination. >>
