7:13 am
nevada's caucus on saturday. caucuses, harder to predict for pollster pollsters. when you look at the race and the body language, who looks confident and who looks nervous? >> the clinton campaign seems nervous and the sanders campaign seems confident at this point. this is clearly fairly close. they've both dumped a lot of money in here. this is actually though a here's why. there is this idea he can't win in states that are more diverse. nevada is baseically 60/40 white to non-white, at least the way the democratic kau kis iscaucus is going to turn out. a narrow loss and the clinton campaign can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing south carolina comes and they're likely to roll there, too. a sanders victory puts more pressure on clinton. then the questions are, oh, maybe sanders can win minority votes. then the pressure on her to wiv south carolina is as great as it's been in any state so far. >> chuck, do you see a shift in
7:14 am
framing this race, with more of a contrast, going right after sanders recently? >> if you listen to bill clinton and chelsea clinton and hillary clinton, they're all trying to make this a referendum on sanders. they know if it's a referendum on hillary clinton, she won't do as well with democrarac voters. put the focus on sanders. they think the more attention given to his ideas, his potential tax hikes, lack of foreign policy knowledge, suddenly,,t'll give pause to democratic voters and help her. she's always been better when she gets to frame an alternative. that's wha they're trying to do now. >> chuck, to put meat on the bones of your first answer, when you say the clinton campaign is acting nervous, what do you mean by that? by the fact they're spending so much time in nevada? >> they realize that it's a -- that losing again, and suddenly you could make an argument that essentially, sanders won the first three contests. the iowow victory, every day that
7:15 am
how big was that victory and did she really win, or did she luck out because of the way the counting process is? that's what i mean by that. they're very nervous. the idea of losing back to back. to lose the first state the faced off against each other that isn't an overly white stat that's what makes them so nervous. that's why, if they can win now, they put away a lot of questions with her. >> thanks so much. now to the nation's capital where the debate rages on over who should replace justice antonin scalia. ananea mitchell has more on that looming battle. good morning. >> good morning. the battle to replace antonin scalia is reshaping that 2016 campaign. with the republican presidential candndates taking a hard line against confirming anyone that president obama nominates. no matter how moderate. >> reporter: it is the one issue on which all the republican candidates agree.

7:17 am
do yours. the scalia succession fight now also a campaign issue for the democrats. >> last time i looked, the constitution didn't have a parenthesis. that's not the wieay our system rks. >> the president has a working list, including several candidates who have been supported unanimously for lower courts by republicans. if the republicans won't even consider moderate choices, the president could fire up his own democratic base, nominating a minority. >> a lot of political strategy going into this decision. andrea, thank you very much. in other news, pope francis returned to mexico city lala night after a day-long trip. thousands of people lined the streets to catch a glimpse of thee pontiff in his white fiat.

why would heart burn medication potentially affect the mind and cause dementia? >> right. so this is alal at this point, hypothetical, savannah. the idea here is somethingng we would call biological flauzabilityflauz plausibility. how do you go from this medicine that affects your stomach to affecting your brain. theoretically, they could affect the brain chemistry. from animal models, we know they could affect the abnormal protein levels found in alzheimer's disease. the other thing i think is probably most important, in human data, we know that the medicines can cause b12 deficiency. b12 is definitely linked to dementia. >> to underscore, it's not necessarily usation. they saw a correlation between dementia ahd overusing these drugs, right? >> absolutely, absolutely.
