there will be no new addition to the current field of republican presidential candidate this is week. chris christy announced he is not seeking the presidential nomination after all after days of apparent indecision or the media made it look like that, christy says he stands by his original refusele to run even after many prominent republicans urged him to get into the race. >> so many people, considered whether this was something i needed to take on. but in the end, what i always felt was the right decision, remains the right decision today. now, is not my time. so what does christy's decision mean for the rest of the field? fox 5 political analyst, american university professor, lenny steinhorn joins us. good to see you. not a big surprise he has been indicating no, i don't think so, no, no, no. this is good news for new

jersey they have a governor who will be focused on the issues facing new jersey and should be good for someone in the republican field the question is who is it good for? >> probably mitt romney because this is a very very big name coming in, potential for a lot of donors, national support once again another person like rick perry launching himself into front runner status. once again mitt romney standing at the end of the game. i think the republican voters are not ready to marry mitt romney they are looking to date all these candidates they have dated rick perry, they were thinking of dating chris christy now seems as if herman cain may be someone they are interested in. mitt romney does not excite their passions but he may be the last one standing at the dance. let me get one last question about -- well, here is the thing about christy i am glad you mention perry before he got into it everyone is saying rick perry perry perry, is that possible it would have happened with christy as well.

>> running for president is very busy mitt romney stumbled four years ago and he has had four years ago to thing about his mismistakes and even then he is not sailing toward the nomination you have to raise money be on your game every minute you can't say anything that is going to be a little bit sort of out of the ordinary because the national media will seize on it critics will go after you it is a very very very tough high pressure high stakes game you have to be ready to do this >> why has rick perry kind of tumbled down the list, so quickly? >> well, rick perry came in, this tall, texan with a bit of bravado he lead the state, very popular in his state never lost an election republicans said we want to beat barack obama we have to have someone in here with a great track record politically the problem is, he debated terribly didn't seem coherent didn't have his answers straight he kept saying

things that were not fully thought out and easily criticized you know what the voters saw that and wondered is this guy going to be able to stand up to obama in the general election we want someone who is going to win. >> now conversely, it seems like herman cain is the guy who does come across pretty well in the debate he did well with the florida straw poll and you know, some of the polls had him neck and neck with romney, is this a surprise? can this last? >> well, when you look at who is still left standing, michelle bachmann had her day in the sun and she declined, newt gingrich wasn't going any where. but sort of herman cain had a very very clear, simple message, 9, 9, 9, message, 9% taxes, sales tax, income tax, corporate tax he appeals to the tea party he has energy, he is very well spoken and potentially has a very good

slogan one could say herman cain, he delivers. >> because of the pizza connection. yes, of course. that would be a very good slogan. the interesting thing when you have a proposal like this 9, 9, 9 thing something simple voters understand i don't know, it is a feeling to me too i don't know if the math adds up but if the government takes in enough money if that is the case but does seem to resonate with voters. >> i thick a lot of the voter -- i think a lot of the voters wouldn't mind the 9% income tax but would mine the 9% sales tax. americans are yearning for a direct connection 9, 9, 9 is easy to understand, it doesn't get bullocked up in the jargon people can't understand they want government to relate directly to their lives that is

why that message is appealing i would be surprised if other candidates don't come out with something far more simple, direct and understandable for the other voter. >> it will be like pizza companies battling each other. more pepperoni. >> all right, thanks for coming in i am sure we will see much more of you in the coming months alison back to you. >> thank you gentlemen. could we finally know, what a woman is looking for in a man the results of a new poll that try to nail down what kind of man today's woman really wants, results may surprise you. >> plus, want a piece of something to remember the salahis by. a sale for you that you might be interested in. what all he is putting up for grabs coming up when we check with tmzs tax holt in just a moment  [ female announcer ] from the very first moment we arrive... we're on the move.

engineering which our world needs i have some of the best and brightest here with me. we are at the 4 h conference center here connecticut avenue, chevy chase, that is one area where they are doing the wind turbine experiment, wired for wind, they had to come up with a wind turbine and in turn they are powering our future, literally and figuratively, we built our turbines now we have to test them to see if they work or fail. >> yeah. >> i have you guys here. >> we are going to test the access turbine and right now, it is a blade pitch of 60 degrees. >> how did you come up with this design for the blade? >> well, the kids are going to today be making their own blade and pretty much, as you can see, it is unique it will be unique to each student based on preference. >> and whether it works right?

it could look good but if it doesn't work that doesn't get it much. >> carry on rena. >> all right first we are going to use this to test the -- >> what is this? >> multi measure energy. we will go ahead and match black to black and red to red in order to test it. >> we are just setting this to 20. >> okay. >> and as we do that now we turn on the wind right? >> all right if you can just hold this somewhere around here. >> somewhere around here >> you can move it back and forth angle it and we will take the highest number. >> and i experiment with different angles? this isn't very good right maybe better back this way that is whipping around pretty good. >> mm-hmm you can move it back and forth a little, see what is the best right now it is reading 31. >> how does that compare to some other ones? >> the highst we got was 110. >> really? >> so -- >> with 10 degrees. so this is on 60 degrees so i

thought it was about 30 was the highst i think. >> what do you thing has been the most fun thing about doing this project? >> i think for the students they get to -- who wouldn't want to miss a little school to do a science experiment, come take a little field trip to national 4 h center. >> so you are missing school for learning. >> yeah, so it is good. >> one for one exchange. >> right. right what about you? >> what do you thing has been the coolest thing look she is so caught up in the experiment i didn't realize i was on tv. >> doing this experiment i learned so much about -- thank you, about having renewable energy like the different kinds there was and i found out about the new wind farm that is up in maryland. >> you did tell me about that. >> it is the first wind farm that maryland has and we have a little picture over there, it is in garrett county, and.

>> wow. >> is you learned something about our own area as well so this is like really ap publicable to where we live -- applicable to where we live. >> right. >> the whole goal is for you to maybe want to grow up to be scientists, math mety sans or engineers what are you going to be when you grow up? >> i want to be a writer because i am writing a book called the magic locker. i am on the third chapter right now. she is going to see the magic locker. >> who knew i was going to interview an author at a science day. curtis. >> i want to be a government funded employee. >> okay. >> this science day is working great and sew fee. >> probably an astronaut. >> all right an astronaut. there we go. >> myfoxdc.com our website we have a link to 4 h because it

also shows that if your kids are involved in 4 h they are twice as likely to do better in school back to you in studio. >> two out of three. >> i knew we would get to a science related answer thanks. >> thanks. the answer to today's trivia question after the break 

>> love the whole sound track. time for answer to trivia question which 1977 r rated hit movie was later released with a pg rating, saturday night fever,rereleased 1978 minus language and sex scenes, the pg 13 rating didn't come around until 1984. >> interng
