bush family. >> now clinton campaign officials tell me in addition noto the larger events she's going to have the smaller more intimate events. her next stop is new hampshire. jeb bush makes his big announcement in his home state of florida tomorrow. carson back to you. >> kristin welker on the story for us in iowa thank you. chuck todd joins us this morning. good morning, chuck. >> good morning. >> we saw a little bit of what happened yesterday. did yesterday's event do anything to help move the needle you think, for hillary clinton in this campaign? >> i don't know if it necessarily moved the needle i think she gave a rationale to the democratic base of why her and why now and why she could do this. yes, she tried to talk about her mom, talk about hillary rodham and less about hillary clinton. but the big take away she decided i'm running on president obama's agenda and his economic

ideas, and many times during the speech yesterday, it sounded like almost a retelling of president obama's previous two state of the unions. the subtle message to me was it this if you like president obama's ideas and you're a progressive, you're going to like me and what i'm going to be able to do that he can't do is i'm sort of an implementer i know how to get things done. i'll breakthrough washington. >> that's on one side. as we know jeb bush of course officially launching his campaign tomorrow. set the scene for what he needs to do. he's joining, as we know a large field of contenders on the republican side. a number of them were in utah over the weekend meeting with romney in many ways is emerged as king maker for the republican party. how did he end up in the role. what is he looking for in a candidate? >> he wants a candidate that can win. i think that's clear. he's wanting to play the role. it is interesting yesterday he did a powerpoint presentation to the donors and candidates. it was all about foreign policy.

that's his recipe he's advicesing how to contrast and defeat hillary clinton. to go to jeb bush who announces tomorrow i'll talk to romney this morning about this. but with jeb bush what is interesting while conservatives believe he's not conservative enough. jeb bush is not going to try to somehow make the case he's with the new conservative movement. what he's going to try to do tomorrow is look what i did in florida. i sort of started a conservative movement in florida, but by the way, i'm a little bit more compassionate than other conservatives. he won't call it compassionate conservativism. that's almost too much of a throw back to his brother. >> we'll be watching you and watching you with mitt romney later this morning on "meet the press." thank you. up next on "today" delivering kindness. a postal worker after finding a ♪ me and you, ♪ ♪ and you and me. ♪ ♪ no matter how they tossed the dice. ♪ ♪ it had to be. ♪
