c-- effectively. and mitt romney made his first appearance in a town hall meeting. ron paul was here in late yen and here today of course. in the late january appearances, he held town hall meetings and connecting with voterss and he put effort in the state and has a group much young supporters. you can see him in the caucaus sites where his campaign decided to focus their energy. they are hoping that will make a difference, the effort and youth vote. they spent time on the phones and it will be an interesting contest. this would be his first victory in the nominating process and put him on the map as he heads into the other states. for mitt romney it will be the fourth win. it is critecal despite only 5500 reg mr. #2: ered gop voters turned

had to be called in. no major ha was done. there is raucus behavior in the lobby as mitt romney supporters signs shouted mittt and square off with santorum supporters. each much them were shouting in good natured fun . to get a sense was how it is going. we sampled three vores and coming down on the side of mitt romney . mitt romney. what is the deal shut up and get on with it. it makes a difference to you. >> not at all. only thing it would do is to make the primaries going on longer and is a lot of fun. but in the end of the gay. you need a guy to beat obama and that is mitt romney. this is coming from a ron paul guy. and yeah, another cpac attendee wrestling with his

conscience and plan to vote for rick santorum. >> i did vote in the straw poll and one of the most difficult. i took it seriously as if it was a real vote and i voted for rick santorum. and another attendee who is wrestling with her conscience is undecided even though the polls close in less than an hour. >> i haven't committed to anyone yet. i am definitely going republican and again, the straw poll closes at 1:00 this afternoon and we expect to have the results in at 4:15 . 4:30. sarah palin, key note speaker will take the podium and you know she will draw a crowd here. she's begin a lot of the support to newt gingrich, it will be fascinating to see whether she trns that into a full fledged endorsement or if

she will go elsewhere and/or she will hold her fire for a later date. >> we'll look forward to the straw poll results later today. >> tomorrow fox news sunday is a must see. chris wallace has an exclusive interview with sarah palin and he will be sitting down with jack lew right after america's news headquarters. >> major topic president obama's shift in a policy that would require religious employers to provide contraceptives for employees. the president said women will receive free contraception, but this time from insurance companies and not their employers. we want to know what you think about the change? tweet your answers to us. and i plan to read your responses later in this hour.

iranian president ahmadinejad is telling supporters to stay tuned for a major announcement regarding nuclear development. he said iran will not bow to the west on the nuclear program. >> a few hours ago, president ahmadinejad was standing over a replicaof the american drone that crashed and celebrating the 33rd anniversary of the lam luong. within the next few days, the world will witness several new achievements in the nuclear field. they say it has nothing to do with weapons and will deal with scientific application of nuclear know how to the betterment of life standard and augmenting level of food and agriculture production . we'll know ourselves. this past thursday u.s. state

department explained the iranian intentions like this. >> they are lifing in a state with a government that would rather spend money on a nuclear weapon's program than the welfare of the people. that's why we are compelling to increase the pressure and isolation until they see the light. >> thingings are escalating in iran. the pentagon asked and received 81 million for urgeent upgrade to the bunker buster bomb. it is known as massive penetrators and the u.s. military want to make suruent of them are battle ready. air force general said the upgrades are not linked to what is going on in iran or the i -- the middle east right now. >> thank you very much. okay, in syria, tensions continue to rise after a high-ranking general was

assassinated in front of his home in damascus. this could be a sign that the regime is losing power in the capitol city. joining us now via box is dominic. dominic, what can you tell us? >> it is a significant shot to the assad regime happening as it did in damascus itself. what happened was three gunmen appeared outside of the front door of the high ranking general. a man isa alhooni and according to state run military runs a military hospital and himself a doctor and he was killed on the spot. this 24 hours after 26 people were kill would in two twin suicide car bomb attacks on military installations in the northern city and caught many people by surprise. the syrian government blamed terrorist for the opposition resisting the assad regime.

opposition denied anything to do that. it is difficult to verify which side is telling the story. western media has limited acess inside of syria tuesday. homs is under pressure. heavy barages coming from positions from the syrian army. and 15 people were killed. tension is felt in the region. here in lebanon, there was an outbreak of gun fighting between the sunni pro opposition fighters. it is the shieat side of muslim in which the assad regime belongs to. we can see how much this shows how the tension in syria has parked in the region. take a look.

you are hearing chants against the government down in beirut. it is controlled by hezbollah, formerly a terrorist organization helping the syrian government crack down on protest in syria itself. can you see the picture of the did assad looking at a photo of qaddafi killed in libya wondering if it is his fate. folks want that to be the fate of assad. what happens next, the saudies will come up with a new plan to reduce violence in syria. it is like the arab league plan that china and russia shot down in the security council's attempt vote on that. and whether or not it is successful it is a hard sell. in the meantime violence

continues. >> dominic thank you very much . turning to another hot spot in the middle east. egyptian activist toppled the regime of mubarack. calls are to mark the anniversary. more friction between the u.s. and egypt over the aid of workers. senator mccain will be leading the organization to talk to syria. >> welcome, senator, thank you for joining us. >> thank you, i am glad to be with you. >> you are planing to lead a delegation egypt in an effort to end the stand off that remains over the aid workers there. are there indications at this point that egyptian leaders are willing to negotiate with you? >> we planned to go for a longg time before this particular issue became so prominent. i am hopeful that before we get there, we can have the

issue resolved, if not, obviously it will be our highest priority. americans not being able to leave the country that is supposed to be our ally is an important issue . and so we intend to raise it in our meetings. >> what indications are you begin at this time that you might make progress hopefully? >> the egyptians are very aware how important this issue is. they are very well of our media and the mood of congress and i think they are trying to find ways that we can get this issue resolved. and now, there are certain elements in egypt that view this as a way to stoke anti-americanism and various political agendas. but there are a significant element that would like to have this issue completely disappear. >> how worried are you about the security of that

government at this time, knowing that there are many members of the muslim brotherhood in key positions there and that security inside of egypt is fragil itself. >> first of the all, our iri employees that are in our embassy and they are not in physical danger at this time. we have egyptian employees and some other employees from other countryies. i am not worried about their security. what i am worried about is the overall relationship between the united states and egypt. egypt is the heart and soul of the arab world . the muslim brotherhood were the only opposition to the mubarack government and they gained great credibility. now we are seeing fishers within the muslim brotherhood some of them are more moderate

than others. what i believe is a possible scenario is that the moderate element in egypt joining with the other elements that are in the parliment would give us a government that is the kind that we would like to see. i think hathat most egyptians would like to see. >> moving to syria, you are outspoken and saying that the u.s. must do more to protect the syrian protestorings, what can be done at this point knowing that the white house is not inclined to send in combat support? >> i say in all respect, the white house is leading from behind again. we should be leading in front. turks are doing very good work and so are the other arab league for example. we should be considering recognizing the syrian national government that is

embryonic is there. we should recognize them and look for ways to facilitate assistance to the syrian opposition, that could be in the form of medical and tech willical help and all kines of ways. the turks have declared their counselry as a sanctuary for syrian refugees. we don't have to have american boots on the ground. but there is a myriyadh of way to be assistance to the people that are being slaughtered and we should again publicly and openly critize russia and china for the disgraceful behavior on the issue. >> the images are sobering in syria. what runs through your mine as you watch the video come in from the ground there? >> what goes through my mind, we cant stand by and watch

people being massacred and the iranians, there are reports that they are in physically and providingarps and equipment to the bashar assad's miliry. we could be a counter weight. assad will go. the question is, what role will we play and how long will this massacre continue before it happens? >> senator mccain, thank you for the thoughts and insights today. all the best as you head over to ei didn't want and we'll keep a close watch on what transpires over there and thank you for joining us today. >> thanks for having me on again. >> he came in third in maine, ron paul is hoping that it will bring his first win. we'll ask the gop hopeful about the path to victory in maine; and how long will he stay in the race if he comes up short again. okay, team! after age 40, we can start losing muscle --

>> welcome back everybody. it looks like a two-main race in maine between mitt romney and ron paul. congressman paul has spent a t of time in maine . hoping that it result in his first primary win. and congressman paul is

joining me from a caucaus sight. welcome to have you here today. >> thank you, nice to be with you. how do you feel it is going in maine and what is your expectation. >> we are doing well. i am not going to make a prediction of what is going to happen. i know we have a good chance of winning, but we'll have to wait and count the votes. >> what does it mean if you go forward and knowing that you can ride in terms of momentum and headlines. >> it would be a great ben tit. -- benefit. we are accumulating delegates . first place means moment yum delegates and it would do a lot . since it seems like the primary is in disarray, and our turn outs are low and people are looking for the alternative to obama.

and so hopefully this will help to set the direction of the party. >> and i have been out with the cpac folks this week and yourr absence has been noted by people who are participate nothing the -- participating in the conference. >> i did that a couple of months ago, because i knew we were busy in the campaign and a lot of traveling. and the dependency on the young people that we get energize exclude come to conventions like i thought it was better to canc trait to the campaign and i decided that that is what i would do. >> you won the cpac straw poll and you are not actively seeking the straw poll this time. is that part of the same stratengy. it is a consequence of

spending my time. it involves time and energy to be available there. and you know, to energize everybody. and so. it was not so much a negative, as part of our plan and where we should spend my time. >> you made the choice of not participate nothing the traw poll. >> right. >> and going forward if you don't win in maine, what does that do to the campaign? will you ride it out all the way to the convention? >> i doubt if tonight will make a decision for me to drop out. riding all the way to the convention is a story. tonight, we'll get more delegates. there is no doubt about it. so i don't think it is it a definning moment. we'll hope for that. >> can special congressman paul. all the best to you, good luck. >> thank you very much. and so who is a true

conservative left in the race. conservatives are trying to figure out that for sometime. i will get our panel's thought on this. and i spent time in cpac and asked if they would support a gop nominee against president obama no matter who wins the nomination? >> i feel like that no matter, each one of the four men would be radically more conservative and better for freedom and better for our nation . and so i would support any one of them over what we have in the white house now. >> i will hold my nose and vote for mitt romney. it would be the same as voting for mccain. you know, it is not a good idea. >> i can vote for santorum or newt or ron paul. i would have a hard time voting for romney . wake up!

losses is not good for the mitt romney campaign. >> i disagree with david, my friend. ron paul will not win the gop nomination temperature is all about mitt romney. he can't lose four in a row going in michigan and arizona which are much wins because super tuesday follows that and rick santorum is on the rise and he needs to stop that. >> headlines are all about ron paul until something big happens again. and that is coming on february 22nd. >> that is the next debate. >> romney can't afford to lose another one. >> i agree with you and that is the persension and that's the media narrative and what dave and the democrats will run. gop in chaos and mitt romney is not the favorite. >> mitt romney would like us to believe that and he had a list of vp candidates or persmective candidates four or five months ago. that certainly has worn off. people, he is not the nominee and going into super tuesday,
