and rick santorum knows that. he is going after the same voters that, you know, really got behind pat robertson a few iowa caucuses ago, rick son tore um is really banking on iowa. he will go to south carolina and do a lot of traveling down there, obviously, he has been out there as much as any other candidate in iowa. perhaps if you throw tim pawlenty in there. those two candidates are really gunning for these socially conservative voters in iowa and they will make a difference. rick santorum could surprise people and do well in that state. maybe not win the iowa caucuses but do very well and perhaps get energy behind this campaign. that's what he is banking on at this point. >> thanks, we'll be keeping a close eye on that event that's about to unfold. thank you, jim. >> you got it. >> a week from today, cnn will host the new hampshire presidential debate. join us as the republican hopefuls take on the issues as well as each other. that's next monday june 13th at 8:00 p.m. eastern. only on cnn. >>> it was a disag

still santorum says he's ready.in this race, in it to win and very excited about what the future holds. >> santorum plans to take part in the new hampshire republican presidential debate. that's monday, june 13th. and you can watch the back and forth among the candidates only on cnn. >>> well, we're learning why john edwards didn't take a plea deal. in his criminal case, the form are presidential candidate was indicted that he broke finance laws to hide an affair. talks between edwards' team and prosecutors broke down when prosecutors insisted he serve six months in prison. edwards being a single parent now wanted a deal that would let him be with his school-aged children. >>> spanish cue comer aboucumbe blamed. then pointed the finger to bean sprouts. we heard tests from the sprout farm suspected of being the source came back clean. max foster has been following the story and coverage. max. >> it's all about sprout, today. martin. it's not the end of the story from the german farm as we understand it. it could have

but i want to censor myself let me just explain it santorum in a more simple way the santorum happens when two people really really love each other and when they gauge and activities with no clothes on most of the time this particular act happens between two men but not always and now one person is usually behind the other person and during that process of loving each other a byproduct is made and that by products is santorum that's the p.g. version that i can talk about on t.v. but again you could always use google santorum for yourself it's pretty entertaining now just this morning candidate rick santorum was asked about his little google problem on m.s.n. b.c. . well. he comes with the territory when you're out there sorts of there are vall people out there who do you horrible things of my responsibility is to go out and and talk about the issues that i care about it's unfortunate that some people thought that they would be a bit of a big joke too to make fun of my mean rick says the vile people do horrible things you know rick i agree like saying gave marriage is going to lead to

santorum's announcement, i don't think anybody's under any illusion that rick santorum is going to beender. i did think it was interesting in policy terms that the very first thing that he volunteered as the reason for his candidacy on "good morning america", is he wants to privatize social security. we have the republican field falling all over each other to embrace the paul ryan kill medicare plan. which is endorsed by slightly fewer people than endorsed toenail fungus as an idea. then we've got -- now we've got rick santorum going after social security as the reason that he's running and then we've got all of the other republican candidates attacking mitt romney for romney care the newest polls out of massachusetts show more than 60% approval of people actually living with that policy. how do you make political se >> first of all, rachel, you have to understand that rick santorum who i've covered for many years, he's from my hometown of pittsburgh, rose as the anti-abortion guy. that's he got his initial support in the state legislature and so forth. he's a cultural issues guy, but

that rick santorum was asked about his little google problem on and i said i see. well. he comes with the territory when you're out there unfortunately there are there vald people out there who do do horrible things of my responsibility is to go out and and talk about the issues that i care about it's unfortunate that some people thought that they would be a big joke to to make fun of my name. rick says the vile people do horrible things you know rick i agree like saying gay marriage is going to lead to a man of the dog having sex or blaming gays for the entire conflict jerks church sex scandal those are just a few pretty vile comments made by rick santorum himself and that's why he's tonight still time later. ok it's time for happy hour and joining me this evening is argue producer jenny churchill and jake brewer founder of realist idealist labs. think such a thing as a realist ideal has. been frank will say that neither will you james. i'm just giving you a hard time because they think that there is seriously something wrong with the state you come from oh i gues

rick santorum announced his campaign. he got five seconds of national attention for it and then the story got totally swamped by the anthony wiener coming clean about his sex scandal story. aside from anthony wiener himself, probably the biggest loser in today's news was rick santorum. now, there are also some winners in today's news. so. winners from today's news being taken over by the anthony weiner scandal. i would say it is a toss up in terms of who wins the news cycle between former alaska governor sarah palin and former speaker of the house newt gingrich. both of whom are presumably or actually running for the nomination of the republican party. heading into this weekend sarah palin tried to tell the story of paul revere while she was on a trip to boston. she got the story of paul revere quite ostentatiously wrong. saying that paul revere was warning the british rather than warning americans about the british. rather than admit to getting the paul revere story exactly backwards, team palin has decided to tough it o
