spotlight,lize za. didn't mean to steal your spotlight,lize za. >> on "cbs this morning." captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." forecasters are predicting another round of violent storms today in the south and the midwest. it could bring even stronger tornadoes to the same region where 13 people were killed earlier this week. >> the most severe threat extends from louisiana all the way to ohio through tomorrow morning. elaine was in hodgenville, kentucky, this morning which was hit by tutor nad does. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, and to our viewers in the west. as you can see behind me, this neighborhood was hit hard earlier this week. residents have not really had a chance to begin cleaning up. now, they are bracing for what could be another round of devastating storms tonight. >> reporter: melissa clark and
7:04 am
her family scrambled to salvage their belongings thursday while the skies were still clear. >> reporter: now there are storms rolling in again. >> i know. it's awful. we've worked all day to get as much as possible out. obviously we don't have any roof whatsoever. >> reporter: a tornado tore through her home wednesday sucking up almost everything with it. the system was part of the same string of killer tornadoes that roared across the midwest and south. clark wasn't home at the time, but she's pregnant and this ordeal is taking its toll. >> we have a baby in eight weeks so, you know, to not have a home to bring him home to, it's pretty stressful. >> reporter: today's storm is threatening to unleash even more devastation with potentially stronger twisters. at jennifer mayfield's house, there's not much more to destroy. >> there's not much more damage it can do to my house. if it levels it, it's okay. it's probably less i have to pay for cleanup. >> reporter: she collected what she could thursday with help from her church friends. she says she feels blessed she

lived through wednesday's storm. her pastor has faith they'll make it through the next round. >> the same god that we trusted through these will be the same one we trust through the next storm and the next storm and the next storm. >> reporter: now forecasters are especially worried about what this storm system will do late tonight into early tomorrow morning. that's a big concern because experts say nighttime tornadoes are more likely to be deadly than daytime ones. erica and charlie. >> elaine, thanks. we now turn to politics and the race to super tuesday. 11 states will be voting. it will be a crucial day in the presidential nominating race. >> one important question for the republican candidates, how to get female voters on their side. political correspondent jan crawford is in cleveland in the very important state, of course, of ohio. good morning. >> good morning, erica, and good morning to the west. we've seen social issues move to the front buescher in this campaign.
7:06 am
rick santorum has capitalized on that to win several states. the question now going forward is how does he walk that line? how does he continue to galvanize debates while reaching out, shoring up support with independents and those critical women voters? >> reporter: in michigan this week santorum talked about women, specifically the three he said have been role models, his wife, his daughter, and his 93-year-old mother, a nurse he described as a pioneering working mom. >> shelves a very unusual person at that time. she was a professional who actually made more money than her husband. i grew up with a very strong mom. >> reporter: it's all part of an effort to connect and win over women voters. as santorum surged in the polls with his strongly conservative views, he also could be facing something of a gender gap. in michigan he lost among women voters by five points which helped give romney the win. but he isn't watering down his views. thursday he accused romney of being insincere on social issues
7:07 am
like the controversial obama administration decision that would force religious organizations and institutions like catholic hospitals to provide employees birth control, even if it violates their religious beliefs. >> a lot will tell you what kind of president you're going to be when you haven't been properly briefed by your consultants and you're asked what's really going on here. >> reporter: romney had stumbled on the issue in an interview wednesday when he seemed to indicate he opposed a senate bill that would have exempted religious employers from being forced to provide employees birth control. romney quickly corrected himself saying he had misunderstood the reporter's question. >> i clearly want to have religious exemption from obama care. >> reporter: indeed, on many social issues romney's views aren't that different from santorum's, but santorum has taken a more forceful position on issues like abortion prompting some con vaer tifts to worry those views could hurt him with independent women voters. in a cincinnati radio interview
7:08 am
santorum bristled at the suggestion that his views would hurt him. >> i didn't lose because of women. >> this is a question i have. senator. >> let's stop right here. what i talked about was my personal beliefs. >> reporter: now santorum is really seeing his numbers rise when he talks about his blue collar roots, when he alliance himself with the working man and the working woman. voters really like that he says what he means. but the challenge for santorum going forward is to continue saying what he means while still reaching out and building coalitions with a broad group of voters. >> jan, thank you very much. with us now is former hul lit pack card ceo and former senate candidate in california, now vice chair of the republican senatorial committee, carla fiorini. what do republicans have to do to wip the women's vote which they did not win when they were running against president obama in 2008? >> well, first i have to say that i object to the term
7:09 am
woman's vote. >> okay. >> because women are a huge and diverse population. they're the majority of the voting population. we don't talk about the men's vote. >> right. >> secondly, i think it's insulting to women to imply that they are single issue voters. they're not. they care about the economy, they care about their own job, they care about their children's future jobs, they care about education. every issue in the election is a woman's issue. >> with respect. when people analyze polls they break down men into all kinds of categories and they break down men and ethnic brounlds. you understand that. you've been a politician running for the senate. no one is saying women are a single issue voter. they want to understand how particular issues have impact and you are seeing in terms of different candidates different kinds of appeals to voters achtd you see romney -- >> to men and to women. to men and to women. >> indeed. what are the important issues you think in terms of the
7:10 am
republican primary, whether they're economic or social, that are making a difference? >> well, i think economic issues make a difference to everyone, including to women. and i think as you just heard, when rick santorum is talking about how to recover manufacturing, for example, he is landing with women. a lot of women care about social issues, whether they are pro-choice or pro-life. i think a lot of this, actually, is about tone. do candidates roach out to women and treat them and their views with respect? do they pigeonhole them or cubby hole them as single issue voters or do they view them as full participants in society? i think women care a lot about compassion. the goal here is to lift people out of poverty, as many as possible. so i think it's a question of tone and i think it's a question of making sure that to women as well as to men candidates are
7:11 am
talking about the whole range of issues that matter to a woman, to her family, and to her community. >> we have a new poll from ohio suggesting that senator santorum is winning 35 to 31 in ohio. where do you think the race is now between former senator santorum and former governor romney. >> well, if i knew that then i would know what no pundant has figured out so far. this race, let's face it, has been a roller coaster ride. i think one of the reasons it's a roller coaster ride honestly is because the issues are very important. the issues are very important. and so voters want to really understand who they're voting for, and so voters put their candidates, whether they're democrats or republicans, we happen to be talking about a republican presidential primary, voters put their candidates through their paces. i think we'll see that continue. >> there's some fairly controversial issues out there,
7:12 am
comments, from rush limbaugh. as you talk about tone being important, i want to take a quick listen to something and get your reaction. >> what does it say about the college co-ed susan fluke who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex? what does that make her? a dangerous shut, right? makes her a prostitute. she wants to be paid to have sex. >> there is now a call obviously for those comments to be repud did i eighted. he was referring to a woman who was testifying about birth control not just for the birth control measure but also as a health measure for women who mentioned of course a friend of hers. how does that language affect what republicans are trying to do in the votes that they are trying to win? >> it doesn't help. that language is insulting, in my opinion. it's incendiary, most of all, it's a distraction.
7:13 am
it's a distraction from what are very real and important issues. you know, the senate had an important vote yesterday. there are some who are calling this a vote on a woman's right to choose and a woman's access to contraception. i think that's fundamentally backwards. this is a vote about protecting the conscience clause, which used to have broad bipartisan support. that's a hugely important issue in this country. those kinds of comments are completely distracting. >> thank you. great to see you. >> nice to be with you. iran is holding parliamentary elections today. it is the first major vote since president mahmoud ahmadinejad was elected. that led to mass protests and a government crackdown. elizabeth palmer is in tehran this morning where iranian leaders are calling for a large turnout. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, the run-up to the election and the election itself has been pretty subdued. that's because the process was
7:14 am
so strictly controlled. about 5,000 candidates who wanted to run, 2,000 were disqualified at the outset. that certainly included anybody who would call for serious reforms or challenge the system. >> reporter: iran's supreme leader made a dramatic entrance this morning. at his own personal polling station when he cast his ballot live on national tv, he was also sending a message. voting is a patriotic duty. the regime wants a big turnout today to legitimize its anti-western positions and its refusal to back down on its nuclear program. there are more than 3,000 candidates running for parliament, but all of them are conservatives. the liberal opposition that blossomed so dramatically in 2009 has been crushed. its activists are deep underground and its leaders are under house arrest. no matter who wins today's
7:15 am
election, the hard liners will be in charge. professor sadeq zibakalam teaches politics at tehran university. >> the politics will not be changed. iran's policies will not change. nothing will change. >> reporter: what is changing though is iran's economy. the u.s. sanctions designed to pressure iran over its nuclear program are starting to hurt. the price of ground meat and tea is up by 50% since january and the price of eggs has more than doubled. because iranian currency has lost half its value against the u.s. dollar, the cost of imported things like machinery or drugs is skyrocketing. >> reporter: are you worried? >> yes. everybody's worried. >> reporter: a crisis that will only get worse as new, even tougher sanctions targeting iran's oil revenue are due to take effect in june. >> reporter: as the hardship
7:16 am
continues to grow, the regime is betting that suffering citizens are not going to blame their politicians but, rather, blame what they call bullying by the united states and israel. >> in tehran this morning. thank you. in ohio, the alleged gunman in monday's school shooting is officially charged with killing three other students. students at chardon high returned to class. as michelle miller reports, the boys' basketball team was back in action last night. >> reporter: it was the first chance in four days to be kids again. >> i have never been so happy to be a part of chardon as a community. >> reporter: hundreds of students, parents, and fans sat to watch the chardon basketball team on the court and forget what happened in another court. >> t.j. lane iii was charged with three counts of aggravated murder. >> reporter: this game was supposed to have been played monday. that was the day police say lane
7:17 am
opened fire in the high school cafeteria killing three students and wounding two others. >> reporter: prosecutors have said publicly that t.j. lane chose his targets at random, but investigators tell cbs news that he knew his alleged victims well and one of the key factors that may have led to the shooting. a week before lane's girlfriend had broken up with him and started dating one of the boys he allegedly killed. >> reporter: ohio court and police records reveal lane's home life was deeply troubled. his father, thomas n. lane jr., was arrested for assault and served time in prison. the boy's mother, sarah knoll lynn, at times did not live with her children. >> we never saw them playing. never saw them behaving like children. >> reporter: timothy fogarty lives across the street from the house he shares with his father, brother, sister. the house has been empty since they moved away about five years ago. the bedroom doors are padlocked on the outside. >> the house had been turned
7:18 am
into something that looked like a jail cell. >> reporter: that mattered a little less thursday night. chardon beat their conference rivalries, madison high school. the hilltopers now move onto the second round of the state playoffs with another shot of hope instead of heart break. michelle miller, cbs news, ohio. time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe. the miami herald reports on a school prayer bill approved in the legislature. it will allow students to lead, quote, inspirational messages at school events. they plan to sign the bill. opponents plan to sue if he does. u.s. auto sales have hit a four year high as we see i

good morning. let's head out towards the macarthur maze. westbound 580 by highway 24 there is an accident there blocking two lanes of traffic so we're seeing a lot of slow speeds once again through the macarthur maze. this is the commute direction. now, heading towards the bay bridge toll plaza it is jammed up to the 880 overcrossing which means about a 15-minute wait or so just to get on the bridge. it's slow up the incline, as well. we are starting to see a little bit of bottlenecking northbound 280 coming out of downtown san jose. but the drive time is not too bad towards cupertino. we have a few brake lights now for silicon valley commuters. westbound 237. here's lawrence. >> elizabeth, what a day coming our way lots of sunshine, some very nice weather ahead as we sail into the weekend. outside the sun coming up on a gorgeous day ahead. and some beautiful weather as we look toward the weekend. temperatures going to be heating up. 30s and 40s now so chilly outside but this afternoon up to 70 in santa rosa.

7:31 am
driving around the airport. >> reporter: with a black jeep cherokee flashing across the tarmac. >> what's going on over on the right? >> i don't know. >> reporter: one flight had just seconds to abort its landing. more than a dozen others drifted in a holding pattern as air traffic controllers at philadelphia international scrambled to speak with pilots. >> abort all movements at the time due to situation on the field. all airport movement is stopped. >> i guess somebody's having fun. >> reporter: police say kenneth mazik was drunk or high on drugs. the ensuing chase at yesterday's busy hour of 11:00 a.m. shut down the airport for roughly 30 minutes. >> i just spoke to them. it's a black suv. they caught up with him. they do have him. >> reporter: in addition to dui and resisting arrest, he may face federal charges. police called it an isolated incident with no link to
7:32 am
terrorism, but a decade after 9/11, it's raising questions about airport perimeter security. >> terrorists remain fixated on aviation. so aviation has to maintain the highest levels of security. it does highlight a potential vulnerability, which is why i think it needs to be reviewed and reviewed quickly. >> reporter: a vulnerability someone with more sinister intentions may lack to exploit. for "cbs this morning", whitt johnson, washington. senior correspondent john miller is with us now. he's led anti-terrorism efforts at the fbi and the l.a.p.d. welcome. >> good to be here. >> how often and how easy is it for this to happen? >> well, security breaches, there's 25,000 security breaches since 9/11, but that's with 5.3 billion passengers over ten years. the actual perimeter breaches where a car wanders on like what we saw yesterday are actually pretty rare. the problem is there's not much
7:33 am
of a way to stop them the way airports are configured. you look at philadelphia international airport, like a lot of major airports, 40 unmanned access points around the perimeter. now there are fences there and gates and locked key pads, touch pads, things like that, but as we saw yesterday, if you're going drive a car through one of them, there's not much that can be done to stop it. that was demonstrated. >> interesting proposal is how to deal with this issue. >> the tsa has $55 million program over 5 years for airport perimeter surveillance. this is largely devices that show when a breach has happened as opposed to strengthening fences. right here at kennedy airport we have a quarter mile stretch that is very vulnerable and a number of other holes. that's not uncommon. i'd like to particular a look at a piece of videotape out of dallas. august 19th, 2010. this is a car chase. take a look at this.
7:34 am
he's got three wheels. he drives straight through the fence. in real life there is very, very things happening the way they happen in a movie. if you shoot a car, it doesn't blow up. when it comes through driving through a fence, if you take an suv and drive through a gate, you'll probably take it down. >> there's not a whole lot that they can do despite the plans. how much of a concern, though, is something like this that it could become a terrorist plot? >> whatever happens, that's always the first assumption which is probably the right way to think. so far it hasn't been. the proposals that are out there, do you man each one of those posts? if so, do you man it with an armed person? if a truck is going to hurtle through the fence. >> what will you do? you can't stop a truck. >> pretty much. most police departments and security agencies are actually barred from hoot shooting at moving vehicles because its a inherently dangerous and it rarely works.
7:35 am
what they'll look at, philadelphia said yesterday they don't plan to make any changes. the over arching look will be what do we do to strengthen those gates in terms of reinforcing them zpl when you were head of aipt-terrorism at l.a.p.d., did you think of this as a threat? >> not only do i think about it, idea voted a day long field trip to the airport. one of the officers who knows that airport like the back of their hand drove me around the entire perimeter. it took half the day to do it. show me every access point. when you see how poor ross those places can be. they need to access the mapt nenls people, shippers, it can be surprising. >> i feel so safe now, john. >> well, it's a rare incident. >> rare thing, i know. thank you. the costa allegra's passengers are heading home after a nightmare at sea. you will hear from them as they tell us what life was like aboard that thip have no power

how serious is this issue right now? dancing's a week old and mitt romney's taken two positions on it. >> it's being debated later this week it deals with banning or allowing employers to ban providing female contraception. >> have you taken a position? >> i'm not for the bill. contraception is working just fine. let's leave it alone. >> of course i support the blunt amendment. i thought you were talking about some state law that prevented people from getting contraception so i talked about contraceptives before. i really misunderstood the question. >> dear, oxford english dictionary. i submit to you a new measure of time. the romney. it's defined as the 3.5 hour window in which a grown man running for president can change his deeply held conviction to its opposite.

you, jimmy kimmel. i thought that was very nice. it is 8:00. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king. >> i'm charlie rose with erica hill. one year ago tomorrow a michigan high school basketball star named wes leonard made a game-winning basket, then he collapsed and died. >> that tragedy made national headlines. it shook his tight-knit home town and turned his mother into an activist. she spent the last year on a mission to keep this from happening to anyone else. >> reporter: six miles from the shores of lake michigan, a tiny town of fenville, a place you may have heard of if not for wes leonard. >> he had tons of energy when he walked in the room. everybody gravitated toward him. he had this smile. you just wanted to be with him. >> reporter: at 16, wes was already a local legend.
8:02 am
having caught the eye of college recruiters for his skills on the court and on the field. on march 3, 2011, with the game in overtime and the fenville blackhawks just one basket away from a perfect season, wes hit the game-winning shot. the team hoisted their hero on their shoulders. moments later, wes collapsed. in the chaotic moments that followed, his mother jocelyn yelled for a defibrillator. when it was finally found, the batteries had expired. wes was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead of cardiac arrest. >> was there a time when you found yourself going through the what ifs? >> yeah, we've had a couple doctors say that once they looked at the autopsy that it was a heart that could have been restarted. >> are you ever angry this
8:03 am
happened to you and your family? >> angry, oh, i don't know. i get angry when i see people in stores and they call their kids stupid. that makes me angry. i think, what a great parenting moment you're missing out on. i wish i had that moment. i get angry that we had a crowd of well over 1,000, and we didn't dot right thing. i get angry about that. does it change anything? i just try to channel that into things i can change. these are just our awareness cards we give. >> reporter: last spring, jocelyn created the wes leonard heart team. the goal, working automated external defibrillators, aeds, in every school. >> michigan has them for the government in their offices. you have to have them in casinos. but no schools.
8:04 am
so something happens, you have to wait for the ambulance. for every minute, it's a 10% less chance of restarting that heart. >> reporter: aeds require no medical training and can shock a heart back into rhythm, dramatically increasing chances of survival. to date, the wes leonard heart team has placed 25 aeds in michigan schools. >> this woman, her daughter died 23 years ago. >> reporter: the leonards have received countless messages of support and comfort since wes's death. >> this is the christmas card we got from them. >> reporter: 13-year-old brady was reluctant to have heart surgery until he heard about wes. >> i explained they were not aware of his condition. he started crying. he said, mom, i want to have my heart fixed. so ever since then, she wrote, brady has become wes' number one
8:05 am
fan without ever meeting him. >> reporter: as a way to say thank you, brady held a fundraiser at his school last week. >> when i walked in, i felt like i think wes could have attended here. there was so much love for him. >> it was supposed to be a bake sale or something. it's turned into this big group of goodness. >> reporter: goodness that raised more than $8,000 for the wes leonard heart fund in addition to the aeds presented to jocelyn. >> i'm doing everything i can. i'm putting myself out there. i talk about my son. my heart's breaking in half every time i talk about him. i miss him so much. >> reporter: wes' parents haven't missed a fenville game this season. their younger son mitchell now plays on the varsity team. >> that's what we're there for. was it hard? absolutely.
8:06 am
i've never walked over that side of the court again. i don't know if i ever will. you know, you kind of thought about what it would be like this one year when they would be in school together. i think they would have really enjoyed it. you know, playing together. >> reporter: yet, wes is always with her. his number 35 close to her heart. >> what do you want wes' legacy to be? >> we want to make sure that other kids don't have this happen to them. i think that's what he would want me to do because he wasn't a quitter. he'd say, mom, go make this right. >> about 900 americans die every day from sudden cardiac arrest. there is a bill in the michigan state senate that would mandate aeds in every school. the problem, the lawmaker told me who put it out there, is it's an unfunded mandate. the chances of getting it passes are unfortunately slim. thomas lake is a senior writer for "sports illustrated." his article was featured in last week's "si." one of the things that came out
8:07 am
in that article, and you actually helped the leonard family learn this, was what exactly happened to mitchell. you get them that diagnosis about it being a condition with his heart, not a virus. how? >> well, i write a lot about people who have died. i always try to find the autopsy report report, if i can. here i took a look at it and sent it around to prominent cardiologists. one of them said, wait a second. this wasn't a virus. it was a rare genetic condition that causes the heart to go from basically all to nothing. like a collapsing bridge, which is why he was able to play so well all season, then it ended so quickly. >> i got to talk about his mom, guys. i know both of you spent time with mrs. leonard. i'm always touched by parents who can find a way to carry on after the death of a child to help someone else. what struck you about her, about the leonard family? >> just unbelievable courage.
8:08 am
you know, you wouldn't blame them if they had been a little angry about what happened because the aed didn't work. but for them, there was never a question of placing blame. it was always about how can we turn this into something positive? that's exactly what they've done. >> and jocelyn leonard and wes' legacy and the kind of kid he was, she's really holding the community together in a lot of ways. some days she's more worried about other people than herself. >> totally true. you know, it's sort of a continuation of what a great kid wes was. there's a story they tell about him in fenville. one day they were running sprints in gym class. wes finished first. there was a girl who couldn't run very fast. she was out there by herself. wes actually went out there and ran the sprints again so she wouldn't have to run alone. >> nice kid. >> he was a great kid.

stuff and use it. you know, you got to use it to make it more intense. make you work harder. just pick up that slag and keep carrying it. >> what's it like to have been and continue to be part of one of the great rock and roll bands of all time? >> well, it's a wonderful relationship we have with our audience, which i think is the best in the world. it's an audience, you know -- we have never -- we decided early on it's not going to be a nostalgia act. we're going to go out there every time -- and what's insp e inspiring is bruce, as a writer, continuing to write vital, important stuff. >> relevant. >> exactly. we wait for him to tell us where we are at this moment. >> well, as actor, he's writing the script. every single tour is inspired and has the energy coming from his work. he just continues like it's his first album, like it's his first tour. we just try and keep up. >> he always seems, though,
8:36 am

8:43 am
we act on habit. we act on impulse. it's all fine because most of the time we do very well. occasionally we follow our gut, we follow our intuition, and we fall on our face. in routine situations when you're in an environment that you're comfortable with when you're encountering decisions you've made before, you usually can trust your gut and you'll be fine. when you are -- when the stakes are high and the situation is novel, you're not all right. in many cases, people have intuitions, and they're quite convinced although they're wrong. >> give us other examples of thinking fast and slow. >> and is one better than the other? i'd like to know that too. >> you know, if i tell you, what are you more afraid of, to die in a terrorist incident or afraid to die? most people are more afraid of
8:44 am
