zero, zero. >> rick: margie, we have a couple of seconds. think the people who voted for barak obama, the last time around, i think they were voting their aspirations. if someone is going to go into a polling booth next november and vote for barak obama again, what is their motivation there to do that? >> i think it's very clear to me and it's clear to a lot of people and clear wn you look at polls that the president is offering a more understanding in putting the middle class first as opposed to republicans who have really walked the plank as a group in order to defend corporate jets and tax breaks for billionaires and refuse to even consider options that include asking the richest to pay just a little bit more. they refuse to do that. while president obama is putting forward a variety of different tax cuts across the board and that's just one example of how the president is more interested in -- >> rick: i don't know. i think that a lot -- >> the president has -- >> rick: they're glad it's early in the process and hopeful that someone is g

>> supervisors, margie, aia san francisco. i just wanted to correct one thing from earlier.alled the planning department and wanted to make some of that initial commentary when we heard that the legislation was first being developed, but we were not part of that initial advisory process. i just want to clarify that. the planning department working closely with advocate groups has created a piece of legislation that is aspirational but, frankly, not operational, given today's environment. we support creating bird friendly buildings, but they have to be on terms that are actually achievable. the design of a building is a complicated process, design, client goals being just a few of the challenges that architects have in creating a building. architects did they try to create buildings with the lowest possible carbon footprint and using sustainable products. unfortunately, the legislation before you includes many design strategies that are not economical in this climate. one of the favored solutions is a type of glass, which may be what you have here, i am not sure. i actually c

our washington insiders, senior fellow of the independent women's forum sabrina schaefer and margy join good morning to both of you ladies. let me start with you, i doubt these rumors are true. governor christie has gone on the record saying he'd have to die to get people to realize he's not going to run. do you think there's any truth to this? >> i don't know, i think there's a huge part of the republican primary electorate that's still very unhappy with mitt romney as the frontrunner and they're looking for an alternative. and i think that after three debates this month, there's a lot of frustrated voters out there who see romney as very paulish behind the podium but seems to lack a certain authenticity and still looking for someone who may be able to fill that position as frontrunner. >> do you think, though, it could be democrats who are putting this story out there about chris christie to make the pool of g.o.p. contenders less effective? >> no, absolutely not. there is genuine -- i mean, just as we were saying, genuine dissatisfaction among republican primary voters. they feel thi
