pac to change any errors. and the reporter that uncovered problems with the bain attack lines. >> there's no better way to he celebrate dr. king than to do something on behalf of others. >> on this day of course we remember dr. martin luther king, jr.'s legacy and the memorial built in his honor. human error, the deadly crash is being blamed on the ship's captain and more to two americans still missing. and comedy with a purpose, steven colbert's ad hits the air in south carolina. >> if romney really believes -- >> i'm not calling anybody a

serial killer. i cannot tell americans for a better tomorrow tomorrow what the to do, it's not my supbpoen super . >> in our daily fix, huntsman has dropped his presidential bid and endorsed mitt romney. we have chris and mark with us, senior is political analyst. first to you, let's talk, mark, about had what happened today. the reason for huntsman closing the door and becoming mitt romney's newest cheer leader. >> jon huntsman is realistic.

he laid groundwork here, but got no bounce from what happened in new hampshire, third, but a weak third, not part of the story line here. and as he and his invoicadviser it, he had no chance to leave south carolina stronger than he left new hampshire. he leaves now and his record is that third place finish in new hampshire, if he stayed in he would have finished last here. and had to get out of the race in a weaker position than he is right now. >> of course, no love lost between the two. let's take a look at the things he has said in this last couple of days before making this decision about mitt romney. >> governor romney enjoys firing people, i enjoy creating jobs. >> it's most likely that the person that should represent our party running against obama is not someone that called him a

remark able leader and went to be his ambassador in china. >> this stage is divided because of attitudes like that. >> some of the other candidates responded, this is santorum, not entirely nice. >> moderates are backing moderates. that is sort of the bottom line, it's no surprise there. governor huntsman ran as a moderate trying to compete for governor romney for establishment moderate vote and romney had a leg up on him as a solid moderate that the establishment could get behind. >> of course, chris, santorum is happy about the weekend, those of evangelical leaders in texas endorsed him as the evangelical or values candidate against mitt romney. are they going to be have an impact? are they going to put any money or foot leather behind that

endorsement? >> well, it's nice headlines and it gets people like us talking about it. they said they would not, these group of leaders, would not call on newt gingrich or rick perry to get out of the race. the gingrich forces insist the vote was far more split than the santorum endorsement indicates. and the polling in south carolina shows that newt gingrich not santorum who appears to be the viable consensus conservative other than mitt romney. he is in the low 20s and san p tore um in the mid teens. if you add them up, we have a winning margin, because they are splitting it, and again, look at 2008, hike huckabee, and thompson split the vote and mccain won with 33%. >> and part of the drama of this, the huntsman decision is

because you were there today, and jon huntsman, sr., decides not to pour more money into the super pac supporting his son. >> jon huntsman father's one of the wealthiest people in the country put money in his souper pa pac. his father attended the last event of the campaign today, sat in the front row off the side and you watch eed his son. there was opportunity for the father to put in more money. huntsman did not have a great chance because he did not have the money. >> his father was in the background in new hampshire on election night. thanks so much, mark, we will

see you later chris. and on "meet the press" sunday, gingrich called on his super pac to remove any errors in the ad attacking romney. >> i hope they will edit and not show it without it being edited, and as far as i know, rick tyler has said that he will edit the film. >> rick tyler is the maker of the film. are you prepared to edit out the inaccuracies? >> we have not found i inaccuracies, romney either filed a false fcc report or he is not being truthful with the voters. >> newt gingrich said there are inaccuracies. >> no he said if there are they should be edited out. >> new york times went down

there and we are going to talk to the new york times atlanta bureau chief coming up, we could not find any proof that people were reacting. the people in the film are saying that they were paid and said something different than what showed up in the finished version. >> there's no account of any company in south carolina in the film. i think you may be referring to florida, with amac, i'm sorry, unimac. the film ill straigshows that t should have capital gains at zero, but they reward debt, they

go in and cheapen the product and lower the quality of the workers. the people were talking about bain when they were talking about cheapening the product and lowers the wages. >> your bottom line is there are no inaccuracies and you have done your fact checking? >> yes, the fact checking is rock solid and we have sent it around and it comes from public sources. the reporters. the reporters who have been reporting on these stories. you know, for an example, in south carolina, it's not film, in george town, gsi steal, gsi steal, bain capital ran it up to $530 billion worth of debt and shorted the pension fund. taxpayers had to come in and make up the pension fund but bain capital walked away with

$17 million profit. i don't think that most people understand how a company can go bankrupt and have bain capital and short the pension and are have bain capital make over ten million in the deal. >> newt gingrich is siting washington post against his competitors, the glenn kesler fact checking. he points out that this video makes mitt romney look like michael moore, that it's completely unfair. how is he a corporate raider in. >> i am not going to against glenn kesler. the truth is, nobody, we were the first people who really

brought any attention to this story. so, you know, if the mainstream media or press is upset because we did their job, i understand that they are embarrassed. >> one of the points they make is about kb toys that the film clips mitt romney out of context, he is talking about creative destruction and it makes it sound like he is talking about shutting down kb toys. >> well, look, we bought the film and the film is the film -- >> but you bought a film that other campaigns looked at and didn't use because they thought it was unfair. >> well, let's take that example of the creative destruction. mitt romney likes to say he is on the creative side, saying he is creating jobs. that is my issue with him, he claims to have created jobs but he was the low flying vulture, vultures are good, i understand why they have to be in private

enterprise, but he was going in and raiding pensions and in many cases send issing j iing jobs o. they like to site staples and sports authority, but those companies sell products that are made overseas. >> you are rejecting the call to go back to the drawing room? >> if you look at his press report, he wants inaccuracies cleared up -- >> why is it up to mitt romney to correct the record, isn't it up to you to make sure you are accurate? >> no, we have evidence, romney is identified as ceo of bain capital, and got paid in later years. that is having it both ways and that's not going to work. >> rick tyler, thank you very much.

>> thanks for having me. >> democrats are stepping up their attacks on mitt romney. can they hit him where it hurts. maryland governor, martin o'malley, joining me next. and we will go live to italy and that investigation into the deadly cruise ship accident and of course we are remembering dr. martin luther king, jr. on whoiwho i -- honoring his legacy. >> he stood for equal for everybody not just for blacks, not just for white, for everyone. that is the way it is supposed to be. we should help everybody, there should not be anybody out here poor or homeless. brad, where we going? just a second. just, just one second. ♪ what are you looking at? don't look up there.

. democrats are trying to succeed for president obama. maryland governor o'malley is joining us now from south carolina. thank you so much, governor, thanks for being with us, what is your argument against the romney record, he as a fellow governor has been putting his record forward? >> facts are stubborn things. when he was governor of massachusetts, it ranked 47th in its job creation rate. jobs like mayor and governor, you have to get things done.

you have to do the things that work to create jobs and expand opportunity. that is what democratic governors across the country are doing and that is what president obama is doing. we now have had 15 months in a row of positive job creation, the first time our country has done that since 2005. what mitt romney embraces is the failed policies of the past. those that say, by, you know, pushing through even greater tax cuts for the top 1% that somehow all of that trickles down to job creation, we have seen that doesn't work. his record at bain and as a governor proves he is not a job creator and has no experience in creating jobs. >> part of his argument is that he has been in the private sector, there's though way that you can challenge that he at least has business experience as compared to the president whose background in public policy and

as a state senate. in an anti-washington year, isn't that a talking point for republicans, that would be what the romney campaign would say? >> sure, it's a talking point. but it's a talking point that falls apart when you look at the facts. that same talking point was offered by mitt romney when he campaigned to be governor of massachuset massachusetts, when he became governor of massachusetts, massachusetts sink to being 47th among 50 states when it comes to its rate of job creation, lower under mitt romney's leadership than mississippi and alabama, down in the ranks of a state like louisiana that just lost its major city to a hurricane. when you talk about private sector experience and experience in the business sector, it's important to look at what

exactly did mitt romney do when he was in the private sector, it was not about job creation. >> isn't it a fact that though that romney is, according to everyone in the white house that we talked to, that he is among the republicans the toughest candidate for the president and because you have jon huntsman dropping out, we don't know what will happen to rick perry after south carolina, but this race will be over for mitt romney, most likely, by florida, you'll have for all intents and purposes the republican nominee and he can start working on the general election campaign? >> well, perhaps. and perhaps in a weak field he is the toughest opponent. but i think this race, once we get to the general election, who will help recover the jobs lost in the bush recession and put things in place that we can out educate and out innovate and

rebuild to put people back to work. you can fairly say that we are not seeing the recovery happening as quickly as we would like, but you cannot deny that unemployment has now been driven down, you cannot deny that the policies that the president put in place, with turning around the auto industry has not created job, they have. we can do more if we leave behind the make believe policies that romney is embracing. if we do the sort of things that the president is doing. >> governor o'malley, thank you very much for speaking for the obama campaign. the search for survivors, this as we look more about the hours to the ship friday night. >> people were getting nervous and having chest pains, i was having chest pains and anxiety

and developing now, a retired minnesota couple is among those missing after their cruise ship ran aground friday night. at least six people were killed when the ship ran a ground. michelle is in italy. the tragedy that has taken place and now all fingers are pointing to the ship's captain. what is the latest on this? >>. >> reporter: it's tough for people to hear that it's not the result of an engine room explosion, which was a possibility, that the company is now saying that they believe that it was human error, he decided to take the ship without authorization, off course and bring it closer to one of the islands which meant closer to reeves and to rocks. that he did not follow procedures and that he made mistakes in handling it.

also he is now under investigation, in fact he is in jail under suspicion of manslaughter and abandoning ship, investigators say they saw him on land and people tried to encourage him to going back to the ship while passengers were trying get off. we saw the latest rescue on board was yesterday afternoon. he denies abandoning the ship and said is his navigational routes shows that his route was clear. but the explanation for now why he was doing this was to show, to bring the boat close to the island so that people could get a better look at the ship. >> controversial procedures after the ship, it took hours to get people directed to life boats and the crew did not know where the boats were.

>>. >> reporter: you talk to every passenger that has been interviewed and tmscathing accounts of what happened. crew members crying and wearing life vests and telling people everything was okay. the company is defending the crews saying that the ship was on their side, the life boats were so tilted that they were difficult to move. a combination of factors there. but the company said the crew did an amazing job to get 4200 people off. >> it was lucky it was close to shore even though that is what led to the accident. what is on voters minds today, is it misstating the dream to day that we remember martin

blast your way to fresh breath. on this day that we honor dr. martin luther king, 200,000 of the civil right's leaders notes. and a type written draft of his famous "i have a dream" speech, the archives can be found at the kingcenter.org. this would have been dr. king's 83rd birthday. the controversy that was put on dr. king's memorial is said that it reversus his words. the president said the

underlying message is the same. >> i know there's been controversy lately about the quote on the memorial and they are changing it and making modifications, but, you know, if you look at that speech, talking about dr. king, as a drum major, what he really said was that all of us can be a drum major for service, all of us can be a drum major for justice, you know, there's nobody that can't serve. >> we have the -- harry, i kno the excitement with the unveiling of this remarkable memorial, it was a bit clouded by the fact that those that new dr. king said the quotation was taken out of context, it reversus the meaning.

the architect said he did it to fit the room on the statue. now it's directed that within 30 days a revision should be come back with. what is your advice? >> i agree with the president of the united states, the underlying meaning of what this says about dr. king, it should not be overshadowed by anything on the side of the statue. so we agreed with the secretary of the interior well before the dedication that we could come back and revisit the quote and see if it should be changed and what it should be changed too and how soon it should be done. we are waiting for another meeting with the park service, talk with them and meeting with nick benson, the person that carved the words into the side of dr. king's memorial and see

what conclusion we can come up with that best fits this is and make everyone happy, at least try to. >> the original quote was from a speech in 1968 as you know well about two months before dr. king was assassinated and it says, yes, if you want to say that i was a drum major, say i was a drum major for justice and all of the other shallow things will not matter. it's a trophy that he used often in his speeches but it comes from scripture and maya angelo said that this makes him look like an arrogan, twitt. but the problem is that the architect is saying that the longer version will not fit. how do you make it fit?

>> we may have to have more granite put in, we will meet with the park service, to see how we can do it, if it can be done. our purpose is that we want people to go to the memorial and do what you see people have seen, that is a wonderful memorial to a great man of peace, a great man of this nation and indeed a great man of this world. >> indeed and that is the larger message and we will not forget it. don't forget it this day or any other day. in south carolina the justice department is challenging a voter id law, in general, black and other minority voters are 20% less likely to have a driver's license or other id. critics are trying to have laws like this put in place in other states saying they are not necessary because voter fraud is not a serious issue.

this morning governor nikki haley discussed the justice's department decision to deny clearance of that law. >> if you have to are have picture id to get on an airplane, why would you not show picture id to protect our one thing we want to protect the most and that is our right to vote. we will continue to fight back. >> opponents of the law contend that fraud is not a big problem in south carolina and that the voter, photo id push is a way to minimize minority voter turnout. south carolina state senator larry martin sponsored the voter id law and joins you us now. senator thank you nfor joining us, what is the big deal, given the fraud data, it the not seem according to the justice department that this is a problem that needs to be addressed. >> we have cases particularly in

small town elections where voter fraud has occurred. people have been indicted and convicted, we had a recent indication by our voter registration officials working with the dmv, that people have voted past the time that they should have voted like when they died. so, you know, we do believe that there's examples of that, more importantly, andrea, we believe that the law is on our side, the united states supreme court has issued a ruling that, in the indiana case, that we believe confirms south carolina's ability to put this requirement in place. >> but, senator, what do you say to those that say it's an under the table way to prevent minorities who would be more

likely to support president obama to vote? >> read the majority opinion written in the indiana case and i would ask them to read the federal commission on election reform, chaired by former president carter and former secretary of state baker, that gave great precedent to the idea that public confidence and the integrity of the suspect and the election process was central to, you know, conducting free and open elections. >> and as far as you are concerned you will still challenge this and you think the justice department can be defeat odd thi ed on this? >> i do. it's unfortunate that the justice department is requiring

us to go further when we face a clear well settled opinion in the united states supreme court, but we are willing to take this step, because we believe it within our right to put that type of integrity in the voting process. >> state senator larry martin, thanks for joining us today. >> thank you. >> and mitt romney's rivals have been portraying the devastation of communities and loss of jobs at the hand of bain capital. kim is the bureau chief for the new york times and went to gaffney to uncover the story. what did you find, kim? >> gaffney is a town of about 12,000 people that found itself at the center of this controversy, you know, romney was portrayed as coming in with bain capitol and laying a bunch of people off, and my assignment was to go find how devastating for the town, and most people

did not really remember this plant. certainly the economy is a big deal, unemployment is about 12% in that county, but this particular case with the photo album plant, turn happen out to be nothing, i went everywhere, talked to the chamber of commerce to the local newspaper editors, as many people as i could find, people are not remembering the layoffs that happened in 1992. >> why is this ad so potent, the super pac ad is a devastating portrayal of bain, as you know from being in south carolina, and covering this story, the economy there is, you have twice the unemployment level that new hampshire had, this is a tough time in south carolina, and those economic issues really are going to take hold. >> it's true, you know, whether or not bain caused the devastation of thousands of

lives, i cannot tell you, i was reporting in one town, and it still a big issue in the campaign. but in the small towns in south carolina and i've been around in the countys that had 12% unemployment, the economy matters and it may matter more than religion or other issues, republican voters in south carolina identify as social and conservative republicans, but the economy, you know, it's tough. there are pockets of real prosperity in south carolina is, right around the capitol, amazon has a big distribution plant and to coast in charleston, you have most of the state hurting though. and they want somebody to fix that and it may actually over ride some of the social and religious concerns. that being said, there's still a lot of confusion over that a

mormon is and people were saying what do the mormons believe exactly? there's a concern about that. and again, mixed in, there's a strong feeling among republicans there that president obama is not doing a good job and they want help. they just want help and they want people to stop fighting about it. that is what i found. >> now, which way do you think it will come? i know you have to go back and do more reporting. do you think the evangelical endorsement of santorum help him or newt gingrich and his record in washington and the way he is framing the record of course, and his attacks on bain capital, does that help him, that anger against wall street? >> there was a feeling of resignation about gingrich, there was more excitement, at least in the communities i was in, for mr. santorum.

i don't know that mr. gingrich's history with social issues is strong enough for voters in south carolina. i think there's a lot of strong santorum support in the pockets of north west south carolina and certainly in some of the middle parts of the state. but really, the economy, this is what is going to be interesting, the economy may be the thing that flattens all the issues all together and normally in south carolina, social and religious issues will carry the day. >> kim, thank you very much. and tensions rising in iran and syria today, first secretary of state hill -- secretary clinton is in libera for the inauguration of

for being with us. let's talk first about syria, to you see a wedge now with gutter being the first arab leader, they are saying that there should be arab troops deployed to remove asad from power if he continues to murder and attacking his own people? >> well, andrea, that was a significant statement, and so he is an international fighter right now. there's hardly a country supporting him and he is losing support within his own country. so he is on thin ice, the tragedy of syria today is that there's a stale mate, the opposition does not appear strong enough to dislodge him. >> now, to iran because of the rising tensions there, we see that israel and the united states are going to cancel military exercises that were scheduled and this just in, newt

gingrich has said that this is in fact, as far as gingrich is concerned, the weakest statement by an american president and the biggest act of weakness by any american president in my lifetime, that seems like a tough statement. does that strike you? i mean you served in republican and democratic administrations. this is greatest act of weakness to postpone a military exercise? >> that is a curious statement, he has followed president bush's step toward iran. obama has tried to negotiate with iran, and he has pushed sufficient sanctions on them. he just announced sanctions on iran's central bank.

obama has not taken the military option off the table. so it's an exaggeration and just wrong to say he is weak in the face of this challenge, i would say that president obama has been successful in garnering me of support and i think iran is probably more isolated today than in the day president obama took office. i would defend him against this charge. >> thank you for joining us today. what political stories will make headlines in the next 24 hours be? is it fast? it's got a lightning bolt on it, doesn't it? ♪ is it fast? i don't even know if it's street-legal. ♪ is it safe? oh, yeah. it's a volkswagen.
