i want to get to ed rollins now.he polls closed in ohio just about two and a half minutes from now and we will go there. ed rollins a republic strategist, long time friend of the program and smart guy within the republic establishment who really pulls no punches and sets it straight. we were talking during the commercial break just a moment ago about what seems to be most interesting tonight, ed, and you said that the catholics aren't going for the catholics in the exit polling in the state of ohio. >> yeah. and that's an important vote and obviously it's a vote romney counted on. the other thing, you know, i think that the virginia race is about -- is a very conservative state. and i think conservatives just want to do a protest vote. i think paul, certainly i'm not taking anything away from his supporters but the closeness of the race early on was really about the protest vote. other people who weren't on the ballot. the interesting thing there is the voters, the taxpayers for virginia had to spend $3 million to ha

ed rollins is in new york. ed, let's start with you. thoughts on the night and a look forward to super tuesday. >> a big victory for romney. this is not the traditional kind of place that he wins. this was a place that paul had big expectations and romney is now on a roll. i think that he basically will have a good day on tuesday. he obviously wins virginia almost by default. the only one who loses in virginia is the taxpayers who have to pay $3 million for two guys on a ballot which romney will win. i think the ohio race is really the key here. if he wins ohio and he's moving, he's got momentum on that race, then i think it's pretty much over. >> bret: bob, you agree with that or are these other candidates, santorum, gingrich, are they still in the hundred here? >> i'd go a step further. i don't like to say it for all the political junkies, but this race is over. barring some major event that we don't foresee, romney, yeah, ohio is very important for him. this is the super tuesday ought to be a time for a big campaign. he's been throug

context and perspective from ed rollins who is with us now. a member of the reagan administration. campaign manager for mike huckabee and michele bachmann and fox news political analyst and contributor. because the polling isn't done, the voting isn't finished yet, we wouldn't want to characterize this contest in anyway except to say that rick santorum is hoping for a surprise tonight. do you expect surprise. >> at the end of the day, the momentum has been going romney's way, and part of that is he spent $12 million to $1 million. television does work. negative television is working against santorum. this is ending up being like groundhog day repeat every week. romney obviously does well in the city. he does well among those who want electability and santorum does well among conservatives and the rural areas and the south. going to gettysburg the last time i looked in 1860 the gettysburg address and what have you, the south lost. and the south is where his strength will be. he has a race, santorum on saturday in louisiana. he will probably win

ed rollins tackles that and dozens of homes are destroyed.ast two people are dead, firefighters battling a growing fire in colorado. will the conditions change today? >> comforting but it frightens you when you can read the numbers off the plane coming across your house. >> at what point would you leave? >> i'm not sure. i've been here almost all my life now. i don't know. e. the first one we're going to call x. go ahead and take a sip, and then let me know what the baby thinks of it. four million drivers switched to this car insurance last year. oh, she likes it babies' palates are very sensitive so she's probably tasting the low rates. this is car insurance y, they've been losing customers pretty quickly. oh my gosh, that's horrible!, which would you choose? geico. over their competitor. do you want to finish it? no. does the baby want to finish it? no. martha: we have music for you this morning, folks. he is in the news over a twitter prank gone wrong. listen to this the beebs apparently asked the 19 million twitter followers, he has more

ed rollins, he will be run over by a truck before he gets out of this race.hat really forces newt gingrich out? is it rick santorum? >> well, listen, let's talk about next week. alabama and mississippi. part of gingrich's rationale is he is the southern candidate. he is the conservative candidate. what if santorum, santorum to a certain degree exploded that last night with victories in oklahoma and tennessee. what if he were to go down to alabama and mississippi and kansas and beat gingrich? that would weaken gingrich's argument ant rationale for staying in. you just look at michigan and look at ohio and look at iowa. if newt gingrich weren't in the races, i'm not saying gingrich should get out. he has got his own path but santorum's point of view, if newt gingrich weren't in there, santorum probably wins all three pretty easily that is a huge issue for rick santorum and really job one. he has got to get a one-on-one race against mitt romney. jenna: it will be interesting to watch. we're seeing that in the north-south divide as well as you look at super tuesd

jelly belly ceo herman rollins says he's not specifically endorsing him but supporting all of the republican presidential candidates. >> by doing that, we want the public to have the opportunity to hear these guys. so we're supporting all the guys, sending them money, so the american public, they can get the message out to the american public. and the american public will decide who the conservative individual will be going to that white house. >> as you said, rick santorum left this rally to go to a fundraiser, which has been compared to mitt romney according to the center for responsive policies dating back to february, that romney has raised more than $7.5 million. >> in the mean time, santorum's rival, mitt romney, has received two key endorsements, marco rubio saying the candidate has the best chance of beating president obama in november. rubio is often mentioned as a possible vice president pick. ktvu.com has complete election coverage. you'll find the latest headlines and results under the news tab. >> we're learning new details tonight about what may have prompted an officer of a sh

. >> meantime, baltimore city mayor stephanie rollins blake will propose a new budget that could mean potentially bad news for city employees. it does not raise taxes, it will bring some big changes to the fire department and other city employees. the budget proposal would permanently close three fire companies currently on a rotating basis. the plan includes a merger of the 311 and 911 call center, no furloughs, but no pay raises. the employes would have to pay higher out-of-pocket cost for health coverage and city employees pay the deductible on the medical bills and officials say if you make any co-payments. the proposal would close a $48 million deficit in the city. to read the budget disposal its entirety, go to our website, wbaltv.com and click on local news. baltimore city officials are considering leasing options for 15 historic landmarks include the war memorial. a third party would take care of the buildings under the agreement and the board of estimates is slated to approve the contract today which will determine the market value of the landmarks are the city hopes to gener

it's a little rock 'n' rollin' leahy, the chair of the judiciary committee, and then senator lautenberg. >> thank you, madam attorney general holder, good to have you here. my good friend from tennessee, senator alexander said, on the recess appointment. there is an easy way out of all of this. require a little cooperation on both sides. and i suggested this in the president resubmit theminations and republicans agree to have an up or down vote within a week or two weeks. the president did this even though you had -- knew there was more t normally what it takes to confirm somebody available, my friends on the other side of the aisle were blocking having a vote. i understand the president's frustration, but i think the if the republican leadership would agree to an up or down vote say within a week or two weeks. whatever amount of time is needed for debate. and resubmit them and have an up or down vote. that takes care of all the problem. i just would suggest that as an easy way out. it's not as much fun on the talk shows, but -- now, mr. attorney general, the department your department

christine rollins is here. she's going to set up the president's speech nicely for us.e big. a lot of companies are getting big tax breaks. gas prices are up a lot. above $3.90 a gallon right now. that's up 19% so far this year alone. so politically, he has a moment to press this issue. the fight over big oil taxes comes down to they get tax deductions for drilling and exploration. they get some breaks on the foreign taxes paid. they get standard manufacturing deductions among other things. this is why democrats like to say that big oil gets corporate welfare. but a spokesman says saying big oil gets corporate welfare is like saying that a homeowner in this country is getting welfare for using the mortgage interest deduction. these are standard deductions you do to incentivize the drilling and exploration for something that's in america's best interest. how much do they profit? $132.9 billion in oil industry profits last year, which raises the question. why do you need tens of billions if you're making hand over fist? >> we are expecting to hear from the president any m

that's where we have ted rollins standing by. do we even know if sergeant bales has met with that attorney yet ted? are we expecting the attorney to come on and speak? >> well, we are expecting him to come out and speak. we reached out to him via e-mail and he said he likely would. he said possibly right afterwards. we do know talking to people that they have met, they are meeting at this hour and they apparently met for three hours this morning and are on a lunch break and at it again. according to a spokesperson, he is planning on staying through midweek, john henry brown. so this is the first of sounds like a couple of days of interaction with his client. >> do we know yet, ted, when bales will be charged, what charges he could face, when if that happens? >> we don't know when. we do know that those charges are obviously -- likely, i should say, just to couch it -- include murder charges and likely 16 murder charges. sot timing, don't know. and the military has as much time as they need to gather the evidence that they need. a

ted rollins is in gross point with a long time friend of the handyman. so ted, this is the friend who convinc convinced gentz to go to the police. >> he is a religious guy and says he wished he could have done more, but said absolutely sh he does not regret convincing his friend to turn himself in. >> i think if i would have had more information maybe, things would have changed. >> reporter: standing in his front yard, he broke down talking about the murder. >> sorry. but i want justice served. >> reporter: he says his friend, joseph gentz, came to him after jane was found strangled to death. >> i seen him crying about it. sometimes, a situation just can't get out of. got to make the right choice. >> reporter: he says the choice was to tell police what gentz happened, that gentz killed jane in her garage and that her husband convinced him to do it. he was manipulated. he says he went with gentz to turn himself in on february 3rd, but after he told his story, police let him go. gentz was eventually arrested more than a month after he confessed. bob bashar

here with age-busting makeup tricks is meredith rollins. >> we love her. >> so nice to see you again.s off? >> they really are. i'm not saying you should throw out your wrinkle creams or stop wearing spfs, but these are easy. it's really one product. you can do them yourself. you don't need a makeup artist, and they make you look great. >> let's start with purdy. >> so this is a beautiful sort of rosy blush, and it is a cream formulation. the key thing with cream blush is that you can just put it on with your fingers, you just rub it in. it gives you that youthful glow. and it's better than a powder brush because powder formulas can settle into fine lines and make your skin look a little dry. with a cream formulation, you can just build it up beautifully. >> just make sure you blend it real well. >> exactly. >> you do look great. let's move down to tiffany. this is the eyeliner section. hi, tiffany. >> tiffany is wearing this beautiful black liner that is flipped up at the ends. as all of us get a little older, the outside of the corners of your eyes tend to droop a tiny bit. this cou

. >> you've been spending too much time with ed rollins.uld have picked out the same phrase. >> it's interesting when you look at some of the commercials that candidate obama ran in 2008, he was talking about the oil, speculators, they're the reason this is going up and let's look into various things with the department of justice. ok. that's essentially what the other side is saying this time but now he is in charge and he hasn't done anything about it. >> let's talk about the chevy volt for a minute. remember in the last couple of days, we've been telling you they were suspending operation of it because it wasn't selling. they were going to suspend operation and lay off workers for six weeks. well, originally, there was a $7500 credit if you could buy one of these cars. it's over $40,000. now, the president wants to give you a $10,000 credit. >> great. >> buy one of these cars. but here's the thing. the average person who buys this car makes over $170,000 a year. so some people might ask whether or not they actually need a credit to buy t

i'm joins by ed rollins. also chairman of the mike huckabee presidential campaign. you know, so this morning all of these campaigns after they wipe the dust out of their eyes from a long night, they will sit down and have a talk. if you were in the romney discussion this morning with his top campaign team as you have been so many times with others, what would you be warning them about, what would you be congratulating them on? >> they microtargeted effectively in ohio and won the places they had to win to get the 1% victory. that was the biggest part of the night. the other part of it is don't get overconfident. it won't be a knockout. we have to be careful our resources. they are starting to run out of money. martha: let's look at exit polls that may cause pause. four in ten say they like their candidate when they vote for mitt romney but they have reservations about them. 39% said that about rick santorum. that goes to the basic issue of whether people are enthusiastic about these candidates. the independent went for rick santorum in ohio. obviously that's got to

bill: ed rollins has worked for many campaigns. good morning to you. now a fox news contributor. aren't we? >> you are doing a good job. bill: what about romney? >> a big win. he's now on a roll. his campaign organization is working very well. the only issue i would raise with him is he's spending $40-plus million beating the daylights out of his opponents now. the danger is you alienate people you desperately need in the fall. bill: that may go to voter turnout. most likely to beat obama in november. 60% in illinois. his other strengths. moderates 51%, college graduates 53%, more than $100,000 a year. catholics in illinois, 53% and the tea party supported 47% tells you what? >> the rural area is voting for santorum and the more conservative voter. but he day by day is adding people to his list and that's very important. bill: this is what newt gingrich said late last night about where his campaign goes now. >> i'm staying in the race because i think it's a question of who can beat barack obama. i think the case i'm make on gasoline, the case i'm making on an american energy poli

here now, fox news contributor ed rollins who has worked on several high profile political campaigns,ding the reagan-bush campaign in 1984, also with mike huckabee and michele bachmann. good morning, good to have you here. >> how are you this morning? >> martha: doing well. we started to get the feel for this yesterday. yesterday we had a "rasmussen poll" that looks like mitt romney had done very well indeed in the michigan and arizona races in terms of momentum. what's your take on how the momentum is moving right now? >> there's no question the momentum is moving towards romney. he's had a good solid campaign organization, his win in michigan was gigantic. it was santorum, not his last chance but certainly a critical chance for him to basically turn this race around and he failed to do that. a close race, but it was his failure as opposed to anything romney did himself. so i think the momentum going into supertuesday is all romney at this point in time. martha: what specifically, ed, do you think has hurt santorum who had tremendous momentum going into michigan? >> he's off track on
