each time he speaks, we hear a man at a distance, a rich guy who speaks of the very poor as if they are on another planet. are republicans worried that their front-runner is too far ahead of the country's parade to even hear the music? blue skies will this week's great jobs report undermine romney's pitch? does it trump romney and trump? respect. nearly 100% of conservative voters tell pollsters they have a negative view of president obama personally. last time john mccain was there to stop the ugliness. who is going to be there this time? hi, i am chris matthews. welcome to the show. with us, jon ritchie, andrea mitchell, and howard fineman. the presidential campaigns reveal what makes a candidate

tick. republicans believe that mitt romney's mistake on not focusing on the country's very poor, not as much as a mirror. will the country be less willing to resort to a figure so removed from the average joe or jane? some very rich presidents were in touch with the average person like teddy roosevelt and jack kennedy. they had under gone leveling experiences. other rich politicians never did seem to know how regular americans left like nelson rockefeller and george h.w. bush. remember when bush was discovering the wonders of a smrkt scanner? he had never seen one before. republican leaders are tear tied he is in the same category. he put his electricityability in question this week. -- his electability in question

this week. are they worried is in this guy a good politician? >> absolutely. people on the left think conservatism is a monolithic thing, but there are gradations of it. if he is the nominee, it doesn't really matter. nixon says you run to the the right in the the primaries and to the center in the general lexi. that is what is going to happen. conservatives have no other place to go. >> but is he a good politicians, which was raised this week when he says things like i don't want to think about the very poor or the very rich? >> he has to quit making gavins. we will forget about it when the general rolls around. >> michael continuesly once said a gavin in politics is when you say what you really think. >> it is a mirror into his soul. he is is who he is. everyone from rush limbaugh to

others are deeply worried that he is a bad candidate. i think they are less worried about whether he is a true conservative as to whether he is a good politician. as to the scanner, that was inaccurate pool report. >> why was it an inaccurate pool report? >> he was asking how this particular won worked. >> and he didn't know the price of a loaf of bread. are >> i am not letting him off on that. i have never heard anybody say let mitt be mitt. >> i have heard the problem with mitt romney is he is mitt romney. that is what you hear republicans say. >> some say he is not conservative enough, and secondly it doesn't look like he knows how to talk politically correct. he has to learn two things, how to think conservative and to get away with not sounding like one. which is very hard.

he has made gavins. he is a man that seems like he handles experienced the same things that other people have. he hasn't been around a lot of people who look different farrah him. republicans are obviously very worried about him, that he isn't the right messenger for these tough times. >> symbolism is a big part of politics. this week he got his picture taken in trump hotel in las vegas with donald trump. >> he looked very uncomfortable doing that. it was bad in presentation. >> and his wife looked like she didn't really want to be there. >> yes. >> is that a smart one? >> trump seems like an every-man billionaire. >> he just didn't want him to go to gingrich. >> good or bad? >> the problem with mitt romney is his idea of a conservative is donald trump.

he was dissipate for the endorsement that anyone in the tea party may like. a few may like him because of the birther question. >> we have a very good jobs record by the president's standards of 8.3%. we haven't had this good a number in a long time. does that take away the argument by romney, that we need a fixer, somebody who can fix the economy? >> that is going to be mitt romney's platform. one jobs number is not good enough. if they add 200,000 jobs a month until fall, yes. this sunday, clint eastwood is going to be on in a two of-minute add for chrysler giving a pep talk to the country. it is important because if the auto industry continues to come back, that is something that president barack obama can point

to. he can say in those places here is where i stepped in, and we created two million jobs in the last eight months. >> who runs the shop if it is running well? you don't need a mitt romney. >> that is my point, but the numbers have to continue. >> the numbers are still bad, but they are getting better. if the right track numbers go up, and the "washington journal" had it up to -- the "wall street journal" had it up to 30%. >> it is going to go up, not down. >> this guy is worth $250 million apparently. is that a problem? we have had wealthy presidents, who somehow were able to connect. reagan was pretty nwaelete. they were able to connect because they found through war-time experiences because of

suffering. f.d.r. everybody knew had polio and had gotten through it. is it a romney problem that he has no scars of battle, no evidence of having suffered, no evidence about except his wealth? >> there is the famous story about f.d.r. of the guy in overalso in the west virginia overalso, and he was weeping. they said did you know him? he said no, but he knew me. people felt he understood them. >> that is why you are editor of "time" magazine, by the way. i will remember that. >> a more recent example, mike bloomberg, who often does have the average person's appeal, but within instance of that susan koman controversial, he forked over $250,000. it showed that he does know how to use personal wealth to connect with people on an issue

that is important to people. >> american voters do not represent rich people per se if the rich people make it clear they honor the hard work of everybody else, and they understand where they came from and know about the lives of average people. chris: we put it to the matthews meter. andrea, will romney's wealth be a voting issue, a problem for him. 11 out of 12 say it will be a problem. peggy noonan actually said he will become more comfortable with the average voter. is it a problem or not? >> yes it is a problem. not because of the wealth per se, but because of the way it plays into the narrative about mitt romney, that he is out of touch, he will say anything, sending his mona broad to avoid taxes, because of that. >> some guy working on a line -- >> some say he is uncomfortable with his wealth, too.

>> why do you think he is that way? >> i don't obviously know what it is like to be extraordinarily wealthy. >> his old man made it the old-fashioned way. he was making something. he made it by being a turnaround artist. that is different. >> that is that zone of privacy that bush 41 also had. we don't talk about money. they wanted him to reveal the taxes sooner or later. >> there are 10 years of returns waiting to come out. chris: we have watched this forever. is there a way you can fix a problem like this? is it like nixon, a new nixon or old nixon? >> i don't think you can coach him or persuade him to not say something like i will bet you $10,000 on an impulse. you cannot in a general lexi campaign stop him from being himself. >> that is why i love campaigns because you do reveal yourself. >> we keep talking about how bad

a politicians he is, how inept he is, how rich he is and all that. he is probably going to win the republican nomination and has a 50-50 shot to be the next president. >> newt, can he make one more comeback in this campaign? >> yes, and i think it is probably as we know on super tuesday. march madness will be newt's last revival. >> he has georgia, texas, tennessee coming up. he connects so well, especially in the south. i want it to happen. chris: andrea? >> his advantage is regional and he can move quickly. the problem with the super pack money is it can't take him from point a to point b. it can't be spent on certain things. >> journalistic wishful

thinking. >> will he have one more comeback or not? >> no. >> what a wet blanket. a "new york times" story revealed that guys who bought air time for attack ads in florida knew where to find viewers. they don't flock just to fox news. they also go to the home improvement channel, hgtv, to the food network, and they love the weather channel. 40% of florida republicans watch the weather channel just in the week before the primary. we spotted a big-time republican in a 198 weather channel archives. when this was done, the bill clinton impeachment was in high gear, and speaker newt gingrich was forecasting normy weather. >> you notice the light green areas, there is not going to be very much of a difficulty. you have scattered showers, windy up here in the minnesota

area, the eastern dakotas and along the east coast, up into maine down into florida, you have more precipitation, and you have that front that has moved along. >> i have always said a weather caster and politician are similar. because no matter what you say, someone is going to be upset with you. >> they both deal with hot air. >> when we come back, the president pleaded for personal respect. some conservatives actively dislike him as a person. will they try to keep a lid on from nbc bay area, this is "today in the bay." good morning, looking live at a beautiful start to the day. you might be wondering why we're

starting late. we had a technical glitch but thanks to our engineers we are back in business. some of you probably saying that's the wrong chris. that was chris matthews. the right kris is here along with rob mayeda and a forecast that looksç absolutely beautif. >> for february, super sunday, weekend plans, it does look good. we have rain and snow for the sierra but that's to come in your seven-day forecast. thinks look quite dry but notice at times there ill with be high clouds. today filtering the sun at times. the rain-producing moisture that's lurking offshore will hold off until probably monday night. fanfest looks good. low 60s you wouldn't expect that for the first week in february. hour by hour, 40s and 50s through about 8:00 and 9:00. computer models indicating today we could be talking upper 60s near 70s. a dry day today. we'll let you no he what could expect for your super sunday

progress. >> unfortunately, it's the younger crowd that drinks a little too much and kind of gets out of control and, you know, goes crazy. >> some city officials believe that the one way toç stop the drunken brawl is to close drinking establishments early. clearly bar owners and restaurant owners have opinions about that. they are still working out a plan with the city. it was an adrenaline rush to say the least. a car stolen right off the dealership lot and the thief ended up causing havoc on the streets of downtown san jose. this morning we have exclusive video of that thief stealing the car. "today in the bay's" george kityama shows us this brazen crime. >> this surveillance video shows a man walking past a toyota camry. the dealership left the car running to charge its battery. the thief hears the hum of the engine, turns around and goes back to the car and looks inside to see if anyone is there. after he checks to see if the hood is closed, he gets into the car and drives off. >> i'm very sad.

i am just speechless. never happened to me before. i hope it doesn't happen to anybody else. >> reporter: the camry was gone in less than 60 seconds. >> it didn't even take a minute, somebody stole the car while i was working with a customer. >> reporter: minutes later, police say the thief was driving at high speed and blowing through red lights. when he got to the intersection of first and san carlos, officers say he crashed into this white car. >> i saw somebody hit this car and this car hit the pole. the car and the pole went straight up in the air. >> reporter: the signal lights fell with a thud in the intersection. the victim's car landed on the ground so hard, the trunk popped open and a spare tire flew out, hitting a woman standing on a nearby corner. >> i felt like her arm was hurt. she kept on holding her arm. >> reporter: witnesses and bystanders ran towards the woman and the two victims who stayed inside the car. >> the lady didn't know where she was. she seemed injured. we just told her to lay still and not move.
