adding jobs. nearly 13 million americans are still unemployed, but with the jobless rate at its lowest level in three years, the unemployed are seeing optimism out there and starting to get out and look for work. joining us now to talk about how these new numbers are playing on the campaign trail is the host of cbs news, face the nation, bob shaefer. president obama made an appearance in petersburg, virginia, and he was trumpeting these numbers. >> i don't blame him one bit. you know, this may be a sign that he has a better chance of not being unemployed himself next year because we all know the economy is going to be the big deal in this election. >> speaking of the election, next week we have yet another southern adventure for our republican candidates and they are both down in mississippi and alabama. rick santorum and mitt romney. can romney pull something off that no one expects him to do? win one of these states? >> i think it's possible.

but not entirely likely. i think santorum and gingrich would have to be the favorites in both of these states. i'll tell you one thing, if newt gingrich doesn't win at least one of these and do pretty well in the other one, i think he is going to have to make a hard decision on whether he goes on here, it's hard to see the path for him if he can't win in the deep south. that's where most of the strength has been so far. he has been thinking or his plan of attack is to do very well in both of these states and take that momentum into texas where there are a lot of delegates at stake. i think the bottom line here, derek, is this race is a long way from being over. the romney folks are trying to spin it that there's no way anybody else can get the nomination. i'm here to tell you, it may well be that mitt romney can't get enough delegates between now and the republican convention to wrap up this nomination. i think it's going to be at least june before we get some

indication if he is going to get the nomination that he can cruise into the convention because right now, i still think this could be anybody's game going into the convention and i have always felt if it gets as far as the convention without any of these candidates wrapping it up, who knows what might happen. you might have somebody else get in the race at that time. >> you mentioned newt gingrich. he is your guest on sunday. i can't wait to hear why he is still staying in the race, bob. thank you for chatting with us. >> that's the first question. >> all right, bob shaefer. a quarter stone piece of history in charlottesville has been returned to its rightful place. the sign from outside sat tin martin cafe, we should say is the maarten cafe. it was stolen two days ago and returned last night.  the folks who took it even wrote an apology e-mail to the
