impossible to ever locate some of those missing. calling it a soulful showdown. ♪ i am so in love with you ♪ so in love with you be. >> the presidential moment that has gone viral today. i'm tamron hall. the "news nation" is following an up and down day for newt gingrich. first he cancelled an appearance this morning. our campaign said that too few people were there. just about 25 showed up for the event. no newt there. on the upside for gingrich, a poll shows the gap shrinking between newt gingrich and mitt romney. the latest gallup poll shows romney holds a 10-point lead over gingrich. at the beginning of the week

romney had a 23-point advantage over newt gingrich. it was newt gingrich's debate performance that's still the political buzz story this hour. newt, yet again, took on the strategy of blaming the liberal media for questions about his character and his record as speaker of the house. >> i think the dedestructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this countrier to attract decent immediate to run for office. >> meantime, the huffington post says romney's camp is preparing for a possible loss. one saying it will be a long slau for the nomination. mitt romney said south carolina will be an uphill battle. >> i would like to win south carolina, but i know if the polls are right, regardless of who gets the final number, we're

going to get a lot of delegates. i want as many delegates as i can get. i want the most coming out of south carolina. i don't know what the numbers will be. >> yojoining us live is democra congressman from south carolina. thank you for your time. >> thank you for having me. >> why do you believe he had a 23-point lead in the polls, and now it's down to ten. >> well, there are two things converging in this state. one, mr. romney himself. he has allowed himself to be separated from the ordinary people. it's one thing to be wealthy, nobody begrudges him for that. it's another thing to try and make yourself different because of that wealth. that's what he has done with a lot of his words and phrases.

for him to say last night during the debate that he walked ordinary streets, everybody knows that's not true. for him to say he inherited nothing from his father. that everything he got he made it himself. that is absolutely not true. people are beginning to say this guy will say anything in order to get a vote, and he has separated himself from ordinary people. now, you got newt gingrich on the other side putting out his tax returns, showing that he may have paid somewhere around 30% income tax on his earnings. here is a guy with all that wealth and saying he's paid only 15%. he has separated himself from ordinary people in a way that newt only had to go halfway.

romney went the other half be. >> let me ask you, there was this title of the inevitable nominee. people believe it was his game to lose. then another bad debate when it came to answering these financial questions. evenmitt romney, tries to just poex him when has not tried. it's like he's putting the cart before the horse. >> that's correct. i wondered from day one, what kind of candidate would go out, extend him or herself to the other side without ever consolidatiing his or her own base. they didn't seem to do that. the whole thing was all you got

to do was be a hater to obama or an objector for obama and that's all you needed for your base. no, no. voters are interested in what you are going to do with me. how will by table top issues get better if you get elected? you just can't be against the other guy. you got to show me why it is i need to invest my precious vote in you and mitt romney -- >> i want to ask you, is that what newt gingrich is doing in your home state? there's been instances where he's referred to the president as this food stamp president and a woman flattered him by saying it was good that she showed juan williams his place in all of this. there's been a lot of talk about race and how it is, for some people, fuel for fire. making them want to get out and

vote against this president for whatever reasons or obvious reasons. it is true you have to put out ideas because what we saw in that debate, he's putting out more fire. >> what i said was, newt had to do his 50%. his 50% was consolidating his base. that's what he's doing with that kind of language. he does his anti-obama stuff, but newt has done a good job of consolidating his base. i don't like where his base is, but the fact of the matter is, using words and phrases like that tend to consolidate his base. that's what he has done to excite these voters and that's why with romney failing to connect and not talking about his vision for the future and with him consolidating his base, those two things have converged in such a way that mitt will benefit in the a very positive way.

>> let me ask you about the first five minutes of the debate when john king asked newt gingrich about his wife's interview in which she revealed newt gingrich asked her for an open marriage. all of the candidates were asked their thoughts on this issue of a person's character and how it should play into the vote. i want to show you each introduced themselves to the audience. >> i'm rick santorum, and i want to thank the people for their hospitality for my wife and karen children. >> i'm married now 42 years. i have five kids, daughters-in-law and 16 grand kids. >> i'm proud that my wife of 54 are years tonight. >> i want to thank the people of south carolina for being so hospitable. >> the other three thanked their lives and brought up their families. when given an opportunity not to do any mud slinging, but to just

talk about character. they passed, but then were passive aggressive and bringing up their spouses and how many kids they have. >> we all do that. i'm proud of the fact that i've been married to the same person for 50 years. i have three lovely daughters and three great-grandchildren. we talk about that. i think it's fair game. we talk about family issues and family values. the question is to the extent of which we value our families. i think it's very good for them to do that. if i were newt, i would have brought up the fact that i've got a wife even though it may be a third one. the fact of the matter is, i think i would have brought it up if i were him. >> all right. congress clyburn it's great to have you. thank you. >> thank you so much for having

me. we're bringing in ron from orangeburg, south carolina. let me get your feel on what folks are saying after the debate. >> reporter: good day to you. you see there's a pretty big crowd waiting for the former speaker. there's only a couple folks there at the conference down in charleston which he cancelled. people are still buzzing about that debate last night and how they think newt gingrich hit it out of the park. the ball may still be in the air. that's how much his supporters believe he hit that home run standing up saying he thought it was inappropriate for a presidential debate to be asked about his personal life in that way and a relationship that was dissolved 13 years ago. a lot of folks support him. they say it doesn't matter to them. they like his positions. they like the fact he's coming to south carolina with a fire and brimstone rhetoric. they like their politics rough

around the edges. he limped in here from iowa and new hampshire, really deflated after having some disappointing performances there. he could win this thing tomorrow. it seemed a week ago that was not possible. he had great week monday night in the debate calling president obama the best food stamp president this country has seen. a lot of folks think he's on major role here and he may be going so fast that he can't be stopped at this point. >> thank you. let's go to the romney campaign. peter alexander is standing by we have this new poll out. ten-point difference between rom ne romney and gingrich. they believe they could lose this. >> they recognize it's the possibility they could lose this. that's whoy they have tried to limit expectations. initially, it was the campaign, it was the first ever to win the

first two state, iowa and new hampshire had the potential to be the first gop candidate to win new hampshire, iowa and south carolina. now there's a good chance that they only win one of those three, but they made it clear they view this in long terms. they view the entire picture here as they discussed. already making plans for what will take place when they head to florida on sunday with the nbc debate scheduled for monday. mitt romney has been facing the toughest challenge in his entire campaign was in the tempest again today, physically a rainstorm when he and governor were hammered by rain. for this campaign, nape say it's a long view. they have always had that perspective and they are confident that no matter what happens, it will be close. they have the strength to continue throughout this. they brought bob mcdonald on

board today as a surrogate with his endorsements of mitt romney for the state of virginia. a state that they remind voters is a state that ron paul and romney, the only two name ons the ballot. newt gingrich didn't qualify. >> peter, thank you. now fo another story we have been following. it's uncertain whether texas will be able to hold its primary. it was already delayed once. it's scheduled for april 3rd. now there could be another delay as a result of the supreme court's decision ruling regardsing voting districts that favored minorities. pete williams joins us live. obviously, pete, this is a hot button issue. a lot of people has talked about the feeling among minorities that they are trying to be alienated. >> they had a big population gain and gained four more seats. the question was how should the

new congressional districts be carved out. the state legislature did it. they were immediately sued. the supreme court said the lower court that drew a map of its own didn't do enough to follow the broad out lineses that the legislature wanted to follow. the map won't be used. the supreme court sent it back and said the state court had to try again. the state legislature's map would given all of the seats to republicans. here is the trick in terms of the timing. state officials in texas have said in order to have the primary in april, the ballots need to be ready by february 1st. that's if you are generous with your time, eight workdays for today. for that lower court to come up with brand new map that will be used for this election. it will be used for this

election only. there's still the larger question about whether the legislatures map can pass pre-clearance. that's pendsing before a federal court in washington. can they come up with new maps for the legislature and congressional district witness the amount of time to have the election in april. if not, it may have to be quikid down the road again. thank you. we'll get the latest on the helicopter crash in afghanistan that took the lives of six u.s. marines. house and senate leaders abandon plans to move forward with the controversial anti-piracy laws. and, flanked by cheerleaders of all things. herman cain joins stephen colbert. thousands of people turn out for the big show. join the conversation online.

welcome back to "news nation." defense officials confirm six u.s. marines were killed when their helicopter crashed in afghanistan. they were set to return home in march. the cause is still under investigation right now. officials say there was no signs of enemy fire at the time. this is obviously heartbreaking news for many reasons that these soldiers were coming home in march. what do we know about the investigation? >> reporter: u.s. military officials are telling us it appeared to have been a mechanical problem. they don't know what brought the

he helicopter down. it was a pretty sparsely populated area. no enemy activity there. it's looking more and more like it was, in fact, a mechanical problem. just another grim reminder that even the most routine missi mis can turn out to be dangerous. >> what's the latest response from french president ni. >> this is the result of four french soldiers who were killed by an afghan camp. he was quite blunt high pressure he said our shoeldiers help the afghan people defend themselves against the taliban and terrorists but not get shot at by the afghan military. he suspended all french military

operations there in afghanistan and is now threatening to pull them out entirely. that could threaten the overall strategy for the u.s. because that training mission is very critical to get the afghan military up to speed to, in fact, defend themselves to allow all forces to come out of afghanistan by the end of 2014. if the french pull out their forces and other allied forces follow suit that could unravel that strategy. >> thank you very much for the correction. still ahead, the search resumes for victims on the wrecked cruise ship in italy. winter weather watches are in effect from illinois all the way to new york. details on this big storm that could basic millions of americans. plus. ♪ i'm so in love with you >> wow. show time at the apollo.

we don't often see times when democrats and republicans are in agreement. this is case where they believe there is a real issue to try to save american jobs by going after sites, especially oversaes that take american excintellect property and try to steal it. it was an amazing show where so many individuals who love to use the internet but were sufficiently concerned that sites they like maight be affected by this. they e-mail and protested. you have a huge response to a public outcry. they are putting the brakes on. all the sides who were proponents of this agree there has to be something done about theft of property because it affects real americans jobs, not just the hollywood elites but people who work in the industry.

what they will do is go back and try to find ways to address this. it's a little bit more careful and would try to listen to the concerns of people who want to make sure that the internet remains free and easy to use. rare because of the incredible outpouring and rare because it was so bipartisan to start with. >> thank you so much. greatly appreciate that report. some sad news today. singing legend etta james pass add way. he passed away from complications of lieukemialeuke. her husband and sons were at her side. she was discovered while singing on a street corner in san francisco in the early '50s. she's best known for her version of "at last". ♪ at last my love has come along ♪ [ bleep ] i've been eating progresso and now my favorite old jeans...fit.

diagnosed? help us understand the need. what's the science? >> some of the diagnostic functions. some experts have difficulty telling the two a part. the category, doesn't necessarily dictate how they are being cared for. this effort is really trying to update the criteria using the latest understanding of science and delivering as much care as possible. >> what about the concern that perhaps some people will not get the services they need? i was astonished by the number. it says that a lifetime cost to care for an individual with individual, $3.2 million. >> that's right. it's a tremendous burden to family and individuals. i think the issue here really is we want to make sure the revision in diagnostic criteria

is not used to discriminate individuals already getting services now. more importantly, i think going forward, the idea that we want to monitor the situation very closely to make sure that all who need, who are struggling with symptoms are able to get help. >> you're confident in these potential changes in the criteria? >> i think we need to wait and see. i think it's one thing to go through the exercise, but it's another to see how it impacts in real life. we'll be watching carefully to make sure all the members of the community who need help, who are struggling with autism are getting help. >> thank you so much for your time. next on "news nation," farewell governor rick perry. >> i can't, the third one i can't. sorry. oops. >> we'regoing to take a look back at some of the rick perry's most memorable moments.
