rockville. julie thanks mitt romney scores a hat trick waking up with big wins in wisconsin, maryland and the district, the gop republican front runner celebrated his victories where he took aim at president obama blasting him as a man out of touch with the country. joining us now democratic political strategist peter feen and jim innocenzi time to take the gloves off let's talk about what is happen being the republican party and nomination, mitt romney appears to be clearly the winner but rick santorum, doesn't want to get out of the way is this a problem or not? >> no, not a problem. it is over it was over last week still over today, you know, i mean just because santorum and gingrich and i guess is ron paul still in? it doesn't mean it is not over, santorum keeps saying pennsylvania now or else it is

out, he wants to hold on because it is his home state we understand it, but it is over i mean it is over, tell you why it is over the press is saying it is over and the president says it is over the president said it was over when he attacked romney. >> he -- they already starting to go at each other directly. >> in the only by name but in television commercials the white house knows it is over so it is over hopefully we won't talk about this any more right? >> well, we have had a little longer run than we thought on this one. i think the one lesson from this is money matters, and i will tell you santorum could not raise the kind of money he needed in these big states he got out spent on the chicago media market, 21-1 he got out spent seriously in wisconsin and romney only won by 5 points but it is over. i mean there is no chance this -- the republican establishment is going to accept santorum

they don't like romney they are not happy about him but hey you go with what you got. >> you go with what you got. >> peter is right when you look back now because hind sight is always 20/20 there are only two people set up to make a long run, one of which was rick perry once he was out, romney has been running six years he had the organization, he had the ground game and the money they knew the way delegates selection was being set up, so they prepared for it and in the long run you know they knew this was the way it was going to be. >> santorum wasn't even on the ballot. >> but give santorum props he was only supposed to be in and out gone by christmas. >> so looks like it is going to be romney and president obama are going to go mono e mono the question i have i read there is a poll came out the president is doing really well with female voters, and mitt romney is not doing well, how much of an issue is this. >> a major issue right now, i

mean romney has got to come back with women voters women under 50, it is 60% for obama, 30% for romney. you cannot -- he cannot win if that happens this is going with the latest gallup poll the problem of course is that the culture war discussion the discussion about planned parenthood romney saying he wants to defund planned parenthood after they have given money to planned parenthood when he was governor of massachusetts difficulty too, i don't think women voters trust him. i wrote a column in today's hill newspaper where i called mitt romney the don draper from mad men, he is back in the 60s in terms of his style his approach he takes he is not viewed by women as genuine as believing in anything, as having a core and that is a problem. that is a serious problem if this economy continues to

improve his only reason for folks to vote for him he is supposed to be mr. fix it on economic issues if there is nothing to fix he is toast. >> you know, -- >> right jim? you don't agree with that? >> i don't agree with the premise. first of all, the poll is a bogus poll it is not -- why are we talking -- there are other polls peter said this a couple weeks ago, you can play back the tape we can point to all these other polls new york times poll, washington post, abc poll that shows the president is in trouble with women voters, all right, so i mean, you want to know why? put a film crew out and talk to all the women who have to get gasoline ask them talk about the unemployed women across the country ask them the poll was skewed you know this you saw it, 41% democrat, 22% democrat republican sample, so it is an invalid poll you can't sit there and talk about --

>> $other polls showing the same thing jim. >> look before you make the point polls go up and down i am not -- >> i am speaking. >> but what i am saying he does have a genuineness problem. >> that is not the problem. we are not talking -- i think the poll is a bogus poll we should be talking about a lot of other things that are much more important like jobs, gas prices, the president attacking romney. >> i agree -- >> one of the things i think you will see an incredible debate we will fight this all the way to november, is whose economic plan, is fair to middle class families, whose economic plan is going to do the most to ait can this deficit and you know, one of things i think romney has done linked himself to ryan, now you know this is going to be something he is going to run on, and we will have that fight and i think we will win that fight. >> do you? >> absolutely.

>> let me get in a question here. >> go ahead. >> we usually don't let questions in. >> here is a question i have, it is about the south. because, mitt romney did not do well in the south for whatever reason, is that going to be an issue when it comes election time. >> no. >> why not? >> you know, what you are going to see, is that a lot of conservatives, a lot of the evangelical christians will come back into the polls they will not vote for the president, they are going to vote for romney, so what you are going to have is now the enthusiasm gap may be lower than you might necessarily see but they will get those numbers, he will win those states, pretty handily, so you can see that with what the president -- >> jim, basically right on this, except for a couple states where there could be a problem north carolina and

virginia, south side voters, conservative, evangelical, christian voters who support santorum don't like rom know and i will be very honest some of this is based upon his mormon religion, it really is it has been shown in polls and voters lists if that enthusiasm gap drops and that delivers a state like virginia and north carolina, to obama once again that is a tough one for romney but you are right alabama, mississippi georgia. >> since you guys managed to almost agree on something we will leave it right there thank you very much. >> happy easter. >> you too. >> over to you allison. >> thanks wisdom. 54 degrees on wednesday morning thank you jim and peter. sunday's easter dinner is going to cost you a little more this year we will explain why next. >> plus a battle for gay rights in massachusetts heads to court today. first a look at today's my fox

life retire, send kids to college tell us about it. >> that is the point allison you got to ask yourself what is it you want to do and that really determined what help you need for example, you do want to -- let's say you are getting ready to retire, do i have enough money where is the income going to come from maybe you are younger still trying to save for retirement at the same time you are trying to save for college, a good person to have in your coroner a situation like that is a general financial planner who can take a look at your whole finances and tell you this is what you can do, wouldn't necessarily give you a complicated investment portfolio, that sort of thing but tell you are you on the right path this is what you need to do, you can cut back here to save money here financial planners would be a great first person to have on your name that situation. >> right who else -- i guess depending on what you would need, who else do we need? >> well, suppose you have more complex finances or money that

you are comfortable managing yourself especially if you have a substantial amount of money go with an investment advisor or money manager you give the money to that is a little scary to have them manage it for you in a situation like that you need to be careful in all these situations you need to be careful who you hire, starting with, some body who perhaps, a friend of yours or colleague has worked with, that is a good way to get first recommendations but you need to go further you need to check out their credentials on our story in our april cover story and online we have a lot of good websites, kiplinger.com you can go to for referrals financial planners also a form that they have to file with the scc called form agd it gives all kinds of background information on the advisor himself or herself how they charge fees, whether they have had actions taken against them.

great resource you talk about i guess as your finances grow or become more involved an investment advisor, estate planning attorney that is a lot of people. >> you might possibly need them all if you have complicated financials, if not you may not need all of those. most people thing i need a lot of money to hire a lawyer but even if you just have children and need to set audio tape guardianship you -- a guardianship you may need legal help if you need to set up a power of attorney, or health care power of attorney you may need a lawyer you can do some of this stuff online there are websites legal websites where you can do very simple legal things but at a minimum you might want legal help, just look at what you have done to make sure all the is are dotted and ts are crossed. >> you are going to have to pay these people. >> yeah >> how do we figure out what we

are supposed to be paying? what is the resource. >> well, there are sort of guidelines, financial planners might cost you 200 to $300 per hour maybe if you just have one thing to consult him or her out that is all you will need several hours worth of consultation or perhaps a lot of financial advisors and planners as well will be hired on fair retainer bases where you pay a flat fee per year or percentage of the assets if it is a money manager percentage, of the assets under management, that can be half a percent to one or two percent if it is smaller. >> so much more to talk about, so i advise you, listen to me advising people, pick up kiplingers the cover story this month. >> may issue on stands, already don't ask me why and kiplingers,.com. >> wisdom over to you. >> very good advice.

to find them. >> more than a dozen people have been injured while many were not hurt they have now begun the long journey to recovery. >> hard. but i am just glad to be here. >> april is the peak of the tornado season that runs from march to june. more storms are likely to hit before this is all over in new york aiynsley earhart fox news. >> dangerous storms shut down dallas-fort worth international airport halting traffic at the nations fourth busiest airport. >> we all remember these images devastation in joplin missouri after a violent tornado touched down last may last night voters approved a $62 million plan to rebuild or replace schools damaged or destroyed by the twister. it is the largest bond issue in that town's history. later today president obama will sign the stock law, preventing members of congress

from participating in insider training and profiting from information only they knew about the president signs the law on a day he also delivers remarks at today's easter prayer breakfast at the white house this is video from last year, todays starts one hour from now. all right, less than two weeks before the tax man comet but still plenty of time to get the most out of your money. steve is live in dallas good morning steve. >> reporter: good morning to you. i will tell you this, if you are still got taxes on your to do list chances are you need help at this point before you run down to the local tax prep office and pay top dollar there is free help from the irs volunteer income tax assistance program for those who make less than $50,000 a year here is how it works irs certified

volunteers can help you do things like look for tax credits, file your tax return most places have free e mailing as well there is a similar -- e filing as well there is a similar place for elderly tax counselling nice thing about the dc area more than 100 of these locations set up, within a 50-mile radius of downtown dc if you need help it is certainly available to you go to irs.gov and search for a center near you. >> good information for people in this region another question you mention you talked about tax credit how is it possible that you can still lower your bill at this point is that possible? >> you know, i will tell you it is really all about really researching to find those commonly overlooked tax credits for example did you know that if you live in a building or own a building built before 1936, and you do some renovation you can get a tax credit up to 10% of your renovation cost if you spent at

least $5,000. so if you live in an old house maybe replacing windows, redoing your kitchen consider that tax credit it could really help you out if you owe money to uncle sam i want you to consider paying yourself before you pay him, if you are not already maxed out one of the nice things about contributing to an ira you have until the tax deadline, this year, to contribute money to that fund and count it as a deduction for last years taxes so, not only will you s retirement but kind of like double dipping it will cause your tax bill to go down as well when you take the deduction >> all right now we always hear people getting really excited about these refund checking because they get big refund checks back but that is not always good news it means you are not getting interest on the money the government has that belongs to you >> i think you always hear me talking about your financial reality i will tell you this especially in our business there is no such thing as a year end bonus at least not in

my pay check right so i do get a tax refund back because that is the way i work my budget for the year i like having that cushion and especially right now with interest rates as low as they are, it is a great time to borrow money but you are not really missing out on a whole lot of money if you are not investing a half percentage point on a savings account i wouldn't worry too much this year if you are getting a big return back, but you have to keep your financial goals in mind remember if that money is meant to go towards saving or paying off a bill make sure that is where it goes you know when you get a refund from the irs it is not them giving you their money, it is them giving you your money back, so just like you would never blow a whole pay check don't blow this payday either. >> some good advice good words of wisdom right there thank you very much steve for all the information. >> thank you.
