>> hannibal lecter. good night. >> look out. >> on "nbc 10 news today." >> don't worry, everything is >> on "nbc 10 news today." >> don't worry, everything is going to be all right. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "nbc 10 news today." super tuesday has something for everyone in the republican presidential race. mitt romney won six of the ten primaries and caucuses including the important state of ohio. >> romney did not, however, knock out his main challenger. santorum won three states, including the key southern state of tennessee, and says he will keep going as will newt gingrich after winning his native state of georgia on tuesday. he won more delegates than santorum. romney, though, won more than all the other candidates combined. so the bottom line here, you can expect more of the same from the republican campaign in the weeks to come. we begin our coverage this morning with national
7:04 am
correspondent chip reid who is in atlanta. chip, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. good morning to our viewers out west. at first glance it looks pretty good for mitt romney. after all, he won six of the ten super tuesday states. look more closely. he barely won the all important state of ohio and he did not have a break through here in the deep south which means this long slog goes on. >> i'm not going to let you down. i'm going to get this nomination. >> that's something mitt romney is struggling to do. even with the financial and organizational advantage, he failed to emerge as the republican's clear nominee, but that didn't stop romney from looking ahead to november and a battle with president obama. >> we've seen enough of this president over the last three years to know that we don't need another five of this president. that's for sure. >> reporter: in ohio romney and his super pac outspent the other candidates four to one. it got him only a narrow win in the critical swing state. romney continues to struggle with blue collar and conservative voters. the race is now shaping up to be
7:05 am
a two-man battle between romney and rick santorum. >> this was a big night tonight. we're going to get at least a couple of gold medals and a whole passel full of silver medals. >> reporter: for the most part the candidates won where they were supposed to. romney in the northeast. he also picked up virginia, ohio, idaho, and alaska. santorum in the midwest and south and newt gingrich in georgia. a state he declared he had to win. >> if i can't carry my home state where people know me, i would have no credibility. >> reporter: now the race goes to kansas, alabama, and mississippi as republicans remain divided with no end in sight. >> we keep coming back. we are in this thing. >> we're going to take your votes, a huge vote tonight in massachusetts, and take that victory all the way to the white house. >> reporter: and more bad news for mitt romney. those next three states, kansas, alaba alabama, mississippi, are loaded with social conservatives and
7:06 am
evangelicals. romney has struggled to win them over. charlie. >> chip, thanks very much. house majority leader eric cantor is with us from capitol hill. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> it is said that mitt romney, who you have endorsed, is winning the delegates but not the argument. what does he have to do now to win the argument, especially with conservative republican voters? >> charlie, mitt romney did what he had to do last night. he racked up more delegates than any of the other candidates. he won six out of the ten states that were up last night. he won my state of virginia in a very handy way when he was only up against ron paul. so, you know, mitt romney and the reason why the voters are going to elect him is because he's the only candidate in the race who's got a plan to turn this economy around. and if you look at all the information coming out of the election, the primary elections last night, it is that issue, the economy and how we're going to get our economy and the deficit straight in washington
7:07 am
and get jobs going again is what matters to people. and mitt romney is the leader who has the record of creating jobs and the one that can do that. >> so why don't -- let me -- with respect, why doesn't that argument seem to resonate with conservative voters who are continuing to give their support on the one hand to newt gingrich but more importantly to rick santorum? >> i think that what you're seeing is a party that is a robust party with many ideas. these kinds of contests within the party will help strengthen us as we move towards november and to give the american people a clear choice. the real question is the voters want to see a leader that will provide them with a vision for better future. are the jobs going to be there? will the future be better for parents looking to send their kids to college? are there parents who are looking to take care of those kids as well as their parents? are they going to have the
7:08 am
resources and the wherewithal to address their needs? mitt romney is a candidate who is resonating with concerns like that and you see it in the poll numbers last night. he has outperformed all the other candidates, and you're seeing an increasing flow towards mitt romney because he's the only man who's got that economic record, who's got the plan to create jobs, and he will be our nominee. >> do you believe that this campaign so far, as barbara bush suggested, has hurt the republican party's chances in the general election? and does the governor, if he is the nominee, have a lot of work to do in terms of reaching out to independents on the one hand and young people on the other? >> you know, i think, again, if you look at what was going on four years ago on the democratic side of the aisle, you had the same issue going on between barack obama and hillary clinton and there was a debate that went forward. the parties are supposed to engage in a debate of ideas.

and women into harm's way. none of us. we want to make sure that we are doing what we need to do to provide our men and women in uniform with the necessary tools and to guarantee the u.s. squaurty. thank god for those men and women in uniform and we ought to be out there leading with a very certain message, which is lacking from the white house. >> congressman cantore, i want you to stay with us. we have questions about the jobs bills. joining us is republican campaign strategist mike murphy. welcome. >> good to be here. >> you and eric cantor know each other well. >> he's a good friend. >> let me ask you about the jobs bill and come back to the campaign strategy. it seems to be some collaboration, some cooperation between you and steny hoyer, the
7:13 am
democratic leader in the house, perhaps there will be a jobs bill that passes the house and goes to the senate, correct? >> yes. there will be a vote tomorrow on our jobs act. it's a bill called jump start our business start-ups. it goes directly to the issue that the country's been grappling with, the inability for small business men and women to start a business, to retain and create jobs. this is a bill which reduces the red tape that is blocking business formation in this country. it goes ahead and says, we're going to be open for business in america. yesterday the white house issued a statement in support of this bill. harry reid in the senate said he wants to get moving on a bill like this, and i'm looking for a strong bipartisan vote tomorrow. and i think what this indicates is there is a window of opportunity for us to work together in this country and it's on jobs and the economy. >> there may well be bipartisan on jobs and the economy. mike murphy, welcome to this program. tell me where you think this race is now having listened to what eric cantor said and also
7:14 am
having talked to a lot of political sources around the country. >> watching the drama last night, it was definitely entertaining. i would say this race operates on two levels. there's the delegate reality, which is very, very important. and i think romney had a strong night. he started ahead. he finished more ahead. the challenge for mitt though i think is there's also the narrative side of this. the who's winning, who's losing story. there i think he had a bumpy night. didn't have a big loss. won a lot of states. won some a little easily. >> there might have been some hope he had of winning tennessee. >> the two headlines are he has to prove himself in the south where he had problems and ohio like michigan was uncomfortably close. every night is a tight rope. with that said, he won. i would caution him to be careful about a message of choices is an illusion. he's got to go up there and earn this nomination. he has all the advantages. anybody would trade places with
7:15 am
him, but it was a bumpier night than he wanted. >> does rick santorum have a pathway to the nomination? >> well -- >> i know eric cantor's right i'm wondering when he says there's no way. >> he won his home state. doesn't matter. he's not showing any other appeal. he's still a catalyst to help romney. we'll see where that evolves. second, if romney were to lose everything, you can make a mathematical argument that nobody gets enough votes. romney has a lot of advantages. >> what should romney's narrative be at this moment? what should he be saying to the country about who he is and what he wants to do? >> well, you know, he's a friend of mine. i worked for him when he ran for governor. the one thing i'd like to see in the campaign is a message a little bit less about salesmanship and a little bit more about leadership. the business guys who gets results out front. >> eric cantor, what would you say to what mike murphy just said? >> i agree entirely. it is about leadership. it's about getting results. it's the same challenge we have
7:16 am
in washington. how do we bring the people of this country together to get to where we want to go. that's to get the economy going and people back to work. >> conservatives, what does he have to do to appeal to the people who eric cantor is a champion? >> well, i think, you know, mitt is a i good conservative. he's never going to outmovement con ser va tim rick santorum. he telegraphs results and things that matter to people, jobs, making the government work, stopping the crazy debt versus a lot of talk and empathy. that's a good general election for him. he doesn't have to win a popularity contest with the president. he has to win a results contest. i'm a guy who's like a coach. sometimes i have to cut the slow players but i'll get you the championship. we see a little more of that in the campaign. he'll do better. >> great to see you. >> great to be here. >> pleasure. eric cantor, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. six british soldiers are missing in afghanistan this morning and are presumed dead. they were on patrol in helmud

7:19 am
week purportedly showed him practicing at duke university. >> i think he'll come back with a vengeance and we'll be hurt. >> reporter: as for the colts, they're expected to use their number one draft pick on stanford's andrew luck, considered the best quarterback in the draft. but it's clear whoever takes over the house that manning built will have big shoes to fill. for "cbs this morning", whitt johnson. i would love to see him in new york where his brother is. >> boy, that would be a little rivalry. jients and jets. >> i hope my husband is not too upset. he's a big colts fan. he's preparing for the luck era. >> time to show you some of this morning's headlines. an 81-year-old rhode island woman has claim a $336 million power ball jackpot. the boston globe reports that louise white bought the ticket last month while she was shopping for rainbow sherbert after she won white put the ticket inside her

7:31 am
uproar that threatens the future of a radio giant. >> double standard is alive and well. >> rush limbaugh has apologized but he's not backing down. not when criticism comes from his favorite target, president obama. >> the remarks that were made don't have anyplace in the public discourse. >> the radio talk show kingpin made the remarks last year about a georgetown law school student and advocate for contraception nrps. >> mick makes you're a slut right? >> as the father of two young girls, he condemned the language. >> i want them to be able to speak their mind in a civil and thoughtful way. and i don't want them attacked or called horrible names because they're being good citizens. limbaugh reacted angrily. >> all of this is pure trumped
7:32 am
up for politics purposes. pure and simplement everybody knows what i do here. everybody knows how i do it. >> a week later, both limbaugh's comments and apology are the subject of public debate. from sympathetic politicians. >> i think the definition of hypocrisy is for rush limbaugh to have been called out, forced to apologize and retract what it is he said in exercising his first amendment rights. >> good point, rush. >> to unfor giving late night comic. >> it's rush limbaugh. is it particularly vile, of course. that's like saying this is a particularly pungent bucket of -- >> twice on saturday, limbaugh apologized to fluke. but the backlash buff et cetera the bottom line of his talk radio empire. more than 15 million weekly listeners on nearly 600 stations. nearly 30 corporate sponsors have pulled advertising from his show. at least two radio stations dropped his program altogether.
7:33 am
>> they've decided they don't want you or your business anymore. so be it. >> social media has driven the backlash like this facebook campaign urging -- >> tea party -- >> limbaugh faced backlash and boycott before, but not like this. the question is whether his show can survive the firestorm. >> by using this insulting language against a young woman who nobody heard of, in a lot of people's eyes he crossed the line. that's why you see this huge backlash, including the advertisers desserting his program. >> on my radio show yesterday i used vile and inappropriate language. >> last year ed schultz used language identical to limbaugh's referring to a female commentator. >> like this right wing slut. laurie ingram. >> no other audience has the power of limbaugh. >> limbaugh is such a big money mayber for so many radio
7:34 am
stations, i don't think he'll be brought down. >> his audience of ditto heads continues to tune in. he should survive this controversy. i'm mike strassmann in atlanta. >> business and economics correspondent rebecca jarvis joins us now. welcome. >> good morning. >> where are we in this story, in this drama about advertisers and the rush limbaugh future? >> well, it would appear we're somewhere in the middle of the story. you have 29 advertisers who have pulled out at this point. almost 30 of them, including aol, j.c. penney, sit rix, goodwill. they've dropped out at this point. the question is how long do they stay out and have they truly diverted all of their advertising dollars or done what most advertisers do in situations like this, which is simply divert the ads to other programs on the same network? >> can they, in terms of diverting the dollars, and like you said, how long they sit it out. that's got to be a tough decision for a company to make
7:35 am
given the backlash in the country right now as to if and when they go back. >> right. it becomes a question in part social media. a lot of the companies, it's interesting the way they communicated the information about the fact that they are dropping out of the program. many of them communicated it via twitter as well as facebook. that's a sign of the times. because so much of the backlash and the fallout from this has occurred in social media. people speaking with petitions online, speaking with facebook and twitter a account online. the question becomes for advertisers going forward, do they speak with their dollars in the store? do they make spending habits different as a part of this and would a company that continues to advertise with with rush limbaugh on his program, would that company be penalized for continuing to not simply by words on the internet but seriously with dollars this stores. >> i would assume there would be no impact in terms of the relationship between rush and his audience. >> well, there are members of his audience, in fact some have come out and said that this has
7:36 am
diminished on some levels his power. for instance, michael medved who filled in for rush in the past has said that on some level, this has shown his power to be diminished as a result of the fact that you have seen members of the gop come out and speak against him. carly fiorina has spoken out against the comments in particular. there are members of his audience who may see it that way. >> but sarah palin has a different view. >> absolutely. there are questions about how big the audience is. talking millions of people, 600 different stations. that has a huge power that advertisers want to be a part of ultimately. >> it appears at this point too, the clear channel is standing by him. >> it appears that it is standing by him. that's what they've said. they said that he continues to be a part of their programming. they want their programming to reflect a diverse set of viewpoints. >> rebecca, thank you very much. it is a big day for apple

7:44 am
do the jobs cash registers used to do. >> just is most senseless system. it is really user-friendly, just touch a button and that's it. >> reporter: at the touch of the ipad button, melissa buckner has access to thousands of photos for sale at the san francisco art exchange. there's not enough room on the gallery walls to show buyers everything available. you can be beside the client while doing this as opposed to let me check this on the computer. >> certainly, yep. it makes it happen right here, right now. it's an immediate response. >> reporter: the tablet is replacing laptop computers and is reflected many the latest sales figures. last year apple sold 40 million ipads worth $25 billion. outselling $23 billion in mac computers the company sold. the machine once the company's main stake. now ipad sales brought in about
7:45 am
20% of apple's revenue last year. now other companies have introduced tablet computers but none have come closed to threatening the ipad's dominance. we'll see if the newest version puts more distance between itself and its competitors. >> john, thank you very much. it looks like you want one, my friend. >> reporter: doesn't everybody. >> but you will -- john, will you get to play with it a little bit? i remember when the 4s came out, you got to test that a little bit when it was debuted. >> reporter: usually apple has a display room they let us in and try out the new features on things. it is one of the interesting things that can be frustrating about the company for news reporters. apple has presentation. they don't have news conferences. they will show you things and say here's how it works, but we'll demonstrate it for you. don't ask us many questions about it. >> i assume tim cook will do the
7:46 am

listening to the little clips with you watch something. you go, that's not true, that's not true. that's why it's always nice that john stewart sums it up. it's 8:00. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king. >> and i'm charlie rose with erica hill. we begin this hour with the mysterious story of robert levinson. the former fbi agent was reported reportedly kidnapped off the coast of iran five years ago. >> john miller worked on this case as a deputy fbi director. he says the bureau is now taking a rare step, offering a $1 million reward for new information. >> today we stand together to reaffirm our commitment to bob levinson. we in the fbi will continue to do all that we can to ensure bob's safe return to christine. >> reporter: christine, the former agent's wife, as met with iranian officials, traveled to iran, and chased down every clue that has come into the family's website, helpboblevinson.com.
8:02 am
>> there are no words to describe the nightmare my family and i have been living every day. i never imagined that we would still be waiting for bob to come home five years later. >> reporter: in several interviews, iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad has said that iran has no information on levinson. >> you have no idea where he is? >> translator: do you have any information? >> reporter: to date, the most encouraging yet frustrating clue has been this video sent to the family's website in 2010. it shows a gaunt and dishevelled levinson asking for help. >> i am running very quickly out of diabetes medicine. i have been treated well. i need the help of the united states government. >> reporter: but there were references in this video to being held by a group and suggestions that he could be in the hands of people in pakistan
8:03 am
or afghanistan. have those clues taken the case in a new direction, or was levinson forced to follow a script to mislead investigators? the tape has given the family and investigators clear hope but not direction. >> we really don't know at this point who has him or where he is physically located. >> there have been no demands made. the family issued the video. we hope through a that the captors would call us or call the family and make demands. we haven't heard anything since. >> john miller is with us now. the military, cia, fbi all care about their own. but this seems different. why is he so different and so important? what is it about this case? >> nothing is right about this case. if you're iran and you have a former fbi agent in your territory, you know you could hold him up as a spy, parade him on video, have, you know, video confessions, make all kind of
8:04 am
demands, but they've never done that. they just say we don't know what happened to him. if you're some group in afghanistan or pakistan, you demand a ransom, you trade him for a prisoner, you do something for propaganda, but there's been none of that. what has struck them is the deafening silence, then this strange videotape. >> so what do you suspect is the reason behind the silence? >> it's hard to say, charlie, but somewhere lies the answer in a mystery man. it's who robert levinson went to meet. we don't know what they discussed, but we know after that meeting, he vanished. the man is wanted here in the united states for the murder of a former iranian diplomat in 1980. he fled to iran. he had been a security guard at their washington embassy. he's been hiding there ever since, kind of in plain sight. it appears that either his
8:05 am
meeting caused somebody to know levinson was there and take him or that he set him up. >> how is it that fbi agents disappear? >> it just doesn't happen. >> it doesn't happen. then why are we so convinced he's alive? >> because of the videotape. there are a lot of people -- >> i saw the videotape. why don't we know the videotape could have been doctored or it's a false videotape? >> good question. it's been examined by the best experts in that field and analyzed for a great deal of

8:14 am
given traditional games they can play just sitting on the couch. researchers split 78 children age 9 to 12 into two groups and zba gave them a video game system. the children kept logs of their play time and wore devices to measure their physical activity over a 12-week period. even though kids said they liked the active game, the results show they were not more physically active overall than the couch potatoes. the leading theories are the kids just weren't as active as expected while playing the game, or they may have compensated by being less active at other times of the day. researchers believe under the right conditions, the game could provide some benefits, but getting up, going outside, and playing with other kids beats video games all the time. i'm dr. holly phillips. phillips. cbs healthwatch sponsored by alka seltzer plus, available in a liquid gel. truth is, nyquil doesn't un-stuff your nose. really? ]

8:32 am
did not properly maintain and calibrate their 20 breath analyzer machines. >> they're supposed to test these devices every ten days. that wasn't happening. >> attorney peter fitzpatrick discovered the problem when his client took two breath tests an hour apart with very different results. >> she's five points off between their machines, which is a huge discrepancy. it should never be, no criminalist will say that's reasonable. >> when we drink, alcohol is absorbed in the blood and carried to the brain through the liver and heart. before diffusing in the lungs. there it's ex hailed and detected by the breathalyzer machine. the results are only as accurate as the technology. >> when the equipment fails, when the computer generator technology simply isn't maintained properly, suddenly the whole system is thrown into chaos and we can't rely on anything in terms of the results. >> drunk driving convictions are serious. you can lose your license, your job and spend time in jail. now hundreds of people may get a

8:34 am
they go back to headquarters and there's another test, either the traditional breathalyzer or even a blood test. anybody found being over the limit based upon those two, you know, they won't get away with it. it's cases where it was based solely on this early test out on the street that we're going to see as we heard just a few moments ago, hundreds of these cases apparently are going away. >> smart attorney to even challenge it. i would think most people think that's what the numbers show. >> the only way to challenge these machines now, because they've been in play for a long time and the courts have looked at them every which way is to challenge the technology, not the hardcore basic technology, do they work, but the detail technology, which is have they been continually tested here so we know they're reliable. here they've said they didn't do the testing they were supposed to. >> do you think cities across the country will be looking at their machines. >> i think every police department is going to say what's in our system to make sure this testing is being done.
8:35 am
the problem they might have is somebody was checking the lot saying we tested, it was fine, we tested, it was fine and apparently nobody was doing that. if it was negligence and everybody thought somebody else was doing testing and they were relying on it, that's one thing. but if people in the department knew the testing wasn't being done and they were still convicting people based upon that, you could have a lot more to the story. you could have a criminal investigation, official misconduct or on the federal level, you might have civil rights violations. there could be a lot more to this. >> it goes beyond. >> it may well. who is going to say yes, we knew they weren't and let it go. how could they ever prove that? >> i think what they would have to go. i would go back to my prosecutor days. i would say whose job is it, who is supposed to be checking it. put them under oath saying were you doing it, if you weren't, why not, it may well be a circumstantial situation. i don't know that it's going to happen. i'm just saying i wouldn't be
8:36 am
surprised if somebody is going to take a hard look at it, is there some criminal responsibility here. >> there's also this interesting question. what about all kinds of machines that are used to test everything, including speeding. >> there has been literally decades worth of litigation about these breathalyzer machines. when the first time they came out, everybody was saying the case is over with. if you fail one of these, we don't have to put any more testimony on. there was something that bothered people about the notion of justice by machine. so there were as i said, cases after case after case of decades testing these. finally it came down to we're going to accept them as part of a case against you as long as you followed the rules. there's always reluctance on the justice system to say we're going to find somebody guilty based on big brother and machine. >> what about people who refused the breathalyzer test. >> that's still a problem. just about aulg jurisdictions, the penalties are the same if not greater for refusing to take a test. and you could still be found

8:40 am
own rules? >> i'm saying that not only is it so big that it makes its own rules but this process of it getting big and sort of paering back government owe a lot of the stuff in the political arena is old and is hard to reverse. >> take dodd/frank as an example. what are the implications which was passed after the financial collapse? >> i think the financial collapse shows the nature of the power of these companies. first, they said get out of our hair. let us do what we want on wall street. they got it. when they got in trouble, they said bail us out. they got it. had they got bailed out, they said get out of our hair again and they got it. dodd/frank was a very thin rule of reform. it did a few things. but they're there are more too big to fail banks than before the crisis. >> because of mergers? >> because of mergers and that
8:41 am
process wasn't reversed. there are more derivative risks now than before the crisis. there was a sort of an appearance of reform. but because the banks have the ability to buy political influence, they were able to contain it. thus keep the elbow room they needed. >> you give many examples in the book. but i was fascinated about walmart. we've all been to walmart. hello, my name is, what are you looking for. when you talk about how big walmart it in terms of the employees and how much money it makes compared to countries. the numbers are amaze. >> walmart is one of the biggest companies in the world. and it's probably bigger than 150 countries. but if you took the 2,000th biggest company in the world, it's still bigger than 80 countries. there are 2,000 companies out there that have more global reach, more financial resources, control more land. sometimes control military forces or political influence
8:42 am
that's far greater than any country out there. >> what is the point you're making with that? >> well, first of all, it has an impact on the outcome of things. who do you think had more impact on the global climate talks, sweden or exxon? exxon had more political power. if it has more influence, they're going to sort of pursue things in a direction that serves their bottom line. that's what they're legally supposed to be doing. what we need is a balance. particularly on the global stage we need a balance. we don't have international institutions that can balance it. the government's power is shrinking more and more every day. >> answer your own question. what could create the balance? >> first of all, you need to create international institutions with teeth. all the international institutions we got were created at the end of the second world war to be weak institutions. >> institutions like the world trade organization or -- >> united nations or the world bank or the imf. when it comes to some things,
