fundraising day of all time he is weathering this so far but this isn't helping him win any new voters that is something he needs to do against romney and perry. it will be hard to get through. goodness knows we have seen our fair share of political scandal here the second part of my question is he is running for the highest office in our country revered office, should he be allowed to weather this? >> well, you know voters get to decide that, and you know i think democrats would love to run against him in the general election that is something a lot of republican voters when they go to the polls and all these primaries will have to decide do we want this kind of guy, if allegations are true, to be our president and secondly, do we think he can beat barack obama. >> you know, basically the cain camp from day one has blamed the competing camp for leaking this information forgetting this out here, is there a little bit, do you thing of

that, i don't know backlash from that because the public now is used to this sort of smear campaign and they are saying this is our guy we are just going to support him we know it is fishy he came out now. >> these things happen in almost every campaign, house, senate, presidential, so far rick perry said he did not -- his campaign was not responsible for this. someone was responsible for leaking it we don't know who it was but i don't know. most likely one of his opponents. >> if that does come out just from being a presidential watcher does that have backlash on the person that perhaps leaked the information or the camp? >> it can but often times they don't come out reporters don't often reveal sources that is one of the kids we live by i don't see iting out. in -- coming out. >> in reaction, democrats criticized republicans, pushing those with little legislative work on their resume, but would

like to ask your opinion, because the president now before he took office didn't have legislative background either. >> rick perry has been a governor over a decade now, mitt romney, was a governor four years, president obama was a senator four years, so i don't see very much difference between the candidates now except for herman cain. >> okay so, basically we are about a year out what should we talk about here these are serious allegations what both democrats and republicans should they be doing to get their man or woman in the white house. >> number one economy and jobs 9% unemployment now you see president obama going around the country talking about his new jobs plan, he sort of is putting it on republicans in congress to start doing something republican candidate, obama will hear them talk about jobs and trying to tell voters their plans will get them back to work. >> we saw states try to battle

it out first in primary, we saw florida do this for example what effect tholed is this have on the -- effect should this have on the whole process. >> florida was the the deciding state last time that secured the nomination for john mccain i think that could happen again, florida is voting on january 31st this year it is possible it could all end in florida once again. all right, political staff writer with roll call thanks for coming in. >> thanks for having me. 20 minutes before 8:00 a.m. tuesday morning what will your four legged friend find under the christmas tree how much we love our pets, as we go to break we will take a look at myfoxdc.com this is a good one $35 for one boot camp fitness heights international a $100 value to get in go to myfoxdc.com look for my fox half off on the right side of the home page. not into it alison, scoffing at the deal >> did you see my face?

of him and i grew in new york city there are two truly iconic figures in college, one is dean smith basketball and the other joe paterno. we have to put this caveat in if these allegations are true all we have right now is an inditement, if they are true and stories we are hearing he was told by a graduate assays taint coach in 200 -- assistant coach in 2002 he witnessed gerry sandusky in the shower with a 10-year-old boy and did nothing more than pass it on to his athletic director, this is going to tarnish his legacy beyond anything we can thing about he has built it for 46 years it can go down in a matter of weeks. >> today is tuesday joe gives news conferences on tuesday he will do that penn sate saying

no question -- saying no questions other than football no one caring what will happen with nebraska >> i don't know how joe cannot get around answering questions. if he says or if someone steps in and says the coach is only going to talk about nebraska and senior day it will get ugly because it is not just going to be sports people it will be news people and this is a huge tragic news story what happened no these boys is tragic and what happened to paterno and penn state is heart breaking. >> i read the 23 page affidavit it is frightening disturbing, saddening, maddening i put it on my twitter account but it is disturbing material there john we have to remember these are allegations at this point and especially when it comes to his involvement we don't know specifically what that graduate assistant told him however as
