mr. romney on the other side, and let's consider party enthusiasm we just depicted in that fox news poll we just showed you. who would you say has to work harder at messaging and what will be clinton's focus and what will be romney's focus? >> well, if we look at the iowa race where we're going to see mitt romney and hillary clinton in the coming weeks and we've seen them there already stumping for the candidates, we have two very difficult goes here. on the republican side you have joanie ernst a charismatic candidate. she has momentum on her side and she's been running a great campaign. all a republican like mitt romney has to do when he's jumping for joanie, he has to get voters excited to vote for her. but hillary clinton with bruce braley has a lot more work to do. she is obviously a very big draw, someone who democrats are excited to see but bruce braley has run not the strongest campaign. he has a lot of work to do. that's why he needs these big name surrogates coming out to help him. >> this and they're develop showing up. i wanted to ask you if you think either or each of them h

mr. romney where candy crowley the us meet -- that mediator it was a tag team match dealing with heavyweights that made it more difficult. [laughter] i'm sorry. [laughter] i promise to be good. [laughter] i had to watch said a few times and it is very distressing to see what happens. romney has obama cornered and he says crowley gives them the set up line about hillary clinton says hit it -- it is her responsibility and obama acts like he knows this would have been the buck stops here is my responsibility but the morning after varity said i said it was a terrorist attack. then romney says you said it was a terrorist attack the morning after? no obama is on his stool. yes. yes. you said it was a terrorist attack the morning after? then obama says candy? then she starts to wave a piece of paper. yes yes. he said it is a terrorist attack then the audience starts to a plot against rules. then the candidate stars to talk over and candy says move on move on. she is leaving this piece of paper by get the transcript. that was a killer moment in the history of the candidacy. she did a similar stay wit

neil sat down with mrs. romney on this very program. and it all starts right now. good to be with you on cavuto i'm connell we'll also talk about that stock selloff in a minute, but first as a second dallas hospital worker is infected are we doing enough in this country to stop ebola. we're hearing from dallas nurses that they were learning ebola protocol on the fly. the nurses union put a statement out, there was no advanced preparedness on what to do with the patient. there was no protocol. there was no system. to the former surgeon general. he joins us right at the top of the show. it's tough to know where to begin. these hospitals. you feel for the nurses when they say things like that that they weren't prepared. were they? >> well, apparently they weren't. it's near and dear to my heart. i'm a former registered nurse myself. the nurses are often the bay romter -- they place the nurses at risk that needs to be remedied right away to protect them so they can protect us. >> the second patient has been transferred to emory which is one of the facilities that has b

some interesting signals from mrs. romneyith "the los angeles times" out this week, not only are mitt and i done, but the kids are done, done, done, done. a stance she stuck to since her husband's deneat 2012. >> i have to ask you just as i asked your husband, are you over it? >> i am over it. it's still hard to watch things and watch the news and feel like you wish you were there, but you move on. upon. >> cnn political analyst gloria borger sat down with romney and said she has a point. you can't imagine the effect this has on a spouse. in many ways some of the political spouses i talk to say tell me it's more difficult for them when their spouse gets the criticism than when they get the criticism themselves. >> yet in another interview with "the washington post," ann romney seemed to leave the door open a touch. at this moment it's no for mitt and for the boys. honestly, we'll have to see what happens. >> paul was asked about a presidential bid in december. he said this. >> where's my cell phone? can i call my wife? there

there was a real good warning sign for me, wake-up call. >> reporter: now with her ms in remission, mrs. romneyneurologic diseases set to open at brigham and women's hospital in boston, it will bring 200 experts under one roof to develop new advances for ms as well as alzheimer's, parkinson's, als and brain tumors. >> i'm hoping that we'll make some true breakthroughs. >> reporter: did you ever imagine you would step forward as an advocate? >> never. i'm going to get emotional about that. never. i never would have imagined myself being in a position to have that impact. >> reporter: why not? >> i don't know. i don't think of myself as anyone except just a little girl that rides her horse, then grew up and was a mommy and now all of a sudden, you know, i can have a voice and i want that voice to be a voice of compassion. i exercise every day. >> reporter: to control her ms, mrs. romney has used medication and alternative treatments like equine therapy. >> just being around the horses gave me such joy. physically, it helped me as well, with balance, with core strength. it gave me those moments wh

mr. romney's growing popularity on the campaign trail?an incredible find thousands of years in the making. a ship wreck so far below the ocean's as far as that only a specialized team of divers could uncover it, and they did. we'll talk to them live. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ martha: we are back, and nato is scrambling to reposition military jets at this hour in response to increased air activity that's coming from russia. strategic bombers and fighter jets have been spotted over the atlantic ocean, the black sea and the battics which -- baltics which adds to tension already strained, obviously, between the east and the west. amy kellogg is live in london on this, how serious do they think this is? >> reporter: martha, i tried to draw a nato spokesman on what this all really means, and he stopped short of calling it a provocation. but interestingly, martha, i spoke to a russian military analyst who was unequivocal, saying that this is cold war era nuclear brinksmanship on the part of moscow. now, it's important to point out that russia's military aircraft

tuesday, mrs. romneyter for neurologic diseases at brigham and women's hospital and joins us along with the center's co-director, dr. howard weiner. thanks for being here. we have so many things to talk to you about. it's an interesting morning and a timely one. for you to be here. we have so much medical news. first, can i just ask you your thoughts about ebola and how the country and the hospital in texas has handled the treatment there? >> well you know we're ought frightened as americans when we think of this illness that looks like you know, just so deadly. is now in our shores. so we have to have a strategy. we have to have maybe strategic centers that are set up across the country to really have places that are going to be able to very effectively deal with this. >> it does seem as though that's the answer. that's where the most recent patient, the nurse who was infected has now traveled to. because it seemed as though dallas wasn't quite up to it. >> well, you know, how would we, we just need to g

mr. robertson is a huge supporter of mitt romney. very disappointed a lot of his republican politics.ked some pointed questions about the pac's and he was a little ambivalent about where this is going. he admitted he is not sure it is good for all of america. >> he said it may be going too far and also said, well, the other side may be going too far with unions and organizing labor. at the end of the day, maybe it is ok because those things balance themselves out. >> yes, because he said the unions do it. the universal problem is, more money is compiled so even if julian robertson phenomenally disagrees with that, he is one of the guys with the deep pockets doing it. >> he is tough on wednesday , withthe midterms election coverage, it will be totally twisted. i spoke to john today and looking forward to that. heilemann said wednesday morning, it all starts in again. they all knock on mr. robertson store where they are looking for indigo like this -- are, he will. >> he is pretty specific. >> he said he did get behind chris christie. >> that was a little more in fun. did you believe ch

but mitt romney who was cold toast about a year ago, is now mr. cool. he's getting 21% opposed to jeb bush and other candidates at 11%. then come the conservatives huckabee at nine and rand paul at nine. christie, rubio, and perry of course and carson. carson and paul ryan around lower single digits. i'm thinking, my theory is, i'll just test it. mitt romney is the guy you didn't vote for when you voted for obama. he was the alternative. through some interesting logic in the head of an average person, oh, i now got a chance to say in a poll, i made a mistake, i should vote for him. so he wins now because he's the guy that ran against obama. i don't know if he's the alternative to hillary clinton when the time comes, but right now -- >> it's either that. when you break up with somebody, your ex looks better in the rearview mirror than when -- [ laughter ] >> i think 21% is not a good number for mitt romney. everybody knows who he is. what you're saying, 4 out of 5 republicans don't want the last guy who ran, who is now seen as the leader of their party.

mr. gillespie's recounting of the republican national committee working with the george w. bush white house and helping in the mitt romneysidential campaign. i will start with mr. gillespie. community specific example of you standing up to your party, and snore warner, the same question to you, specific example of standing up to the parties. gillespie: there are differences i have. when you're not in the white house, my party doesn't have one thing to stand up to right now but i will share with you some things were think i'm probably at odds with some members of my party and that is i believe that in the early 90s when congress passed mandatory minimum sentences in the u.s. congress, that we swung too far. and that i believe we need to revisit those. in particular for nonviolent offenders, and allow more discretion for judges and for the more discretion for the states to make determinations in terms of what are the proper sentencing guidelines. i think we went overboard in terms of federal sentencing, mandatory minimum sentences. i'm someone who believes in retention and in reconciliation. i also believe we need to look

mr. cook and former posters for bill clinton and mitt romney. this is 90 minutes. ..close to seven years because neil and i go back 30 odd years, instead, about 30 years. these are folks that i have enjoyed being with and love watching their work. they are just too great prose into great people. i'm really looking forward to the. let me sort of do a very, very sort of nutshell where i am and i want to get neil and stan up and talk about what they're seeing out there. if you go back to the early part of last year, there were two competing scenarios, to sort of theories about the 2014 and midterm elections could be about. one theory was some of the challenges, problems facing the republican party in 2012 which would flow into 2014. and the other was that this would be a classic midterm election referendum on the incumbent president, and with all that entails. so two competing directions. it could've gone either way. in terms of challenges facing the republican party some of them work with key voting groups and some of it was sort of their own, service some the things th

mr. panetta is talking about. the president when he was running for re-election, jen, went out there and had a debate with mitt romney in which mitt romney said i think you agree with me that we should have had a status of forces agreement that would have left these troops in iraq. the president denied it. the president didn't say, you're right, i did want one. but maliki and so on and so forth. let me play the exchange for you. >> with regards to iraq, you and i agreed, i believe, that there should have been a status of forces agreement. >> i didn't. >> oh, you didn't agree to a status of forces agreement? >> no, what i would not have done is left 10,000 troops in iraq that would tie us down. that certainly would not help us in the middle east. >> there it is. >> well, megyn, the facts are that the secretary of state, the secretary of defense at the time, many other members of the administration would not have been negotiating with the government of iraq about having a presence there if it wasn't supported by the president of the united states. >> that's not what mr. panetta says though, jen. this is your department

romney coming up there to help dan sullivan. that seems to span the entire republican party to extreme right to moderate republican. >> yeah. i think it's a pretty good move for mr. sullivan. he was 234in a really, really h fought primary. he was up against joe miller who got the republican nomination in 2010 and ultimately lost to lisa murkows murkowski. he had a lot of support from the far right republicans and thing joe miller's campaign did some damage to dan sullivan's campaign. i'm seeing on the conservative patriot facebook groups, they're incredibly excited to have ted cruz up here. and mitt romney will rally the base. it seems like this sort of pretty strong one-two punch. >> thank you very much for joining me from alaska. and joining me now is casey hunt who was at the jeb bush rally tonight. and i'm calling it the jeb bush rally because it looked like i was watching a candidate when i was watching jub bush. was that the buzz in the room tonight? >> it certainly felt a lit bit that way, lawrence. especially when he took the time to take a swipe at hillary clinton for suggesting that businesses don't create jobs. he said that businesses do create jobs.

mr. braley, whether they are in the same party as him or not. >> reporter: top republicans, like the president's one-time rival mitt romney says the ebola response is another symptom of a broken presidency. >> this administration couldn't run the irs right and apparently could not run the cdc right. >> reporter: the president has made calls to congressional leaders about this and will make calls later on today. but even with all of this fear out there about ebola and what might happen across the country, the white house says the president has no plans to address the nation formally. they just don't plan to do that right now. they say one is not needed. >> they are taking it day-by-day, i am sure. thank you very much, jim acosta. >> live pictures from ni hch courtesy of wusa. nina pham, the 26-year-old nurse who contracted ebola from the liberian thomas eric duncan will be flown. she's going to be flown there for specialized treatment. she'll be arriving later on tonight. we're all over the story. the other nurse, the 29-year-old nurse, has been flown to the emory hospital in atlanta. both of nurses now out of dallas. let's talk about all of this

mr. pressler on affordable care act. pressler: the affordable care act illustrates why i'm running as an independent. the absurdity of -- in this country. this plan was started by governor romney who i supported and gave money to and he is a friend of mine. it was then carried out by president obama. romney had run the election it would be called, it would be called and all the republicans would support it but because of called obamacare all the democrats supported. it's about the same thing. we do need some form of the affordable care act in south dakota. i've talked to county commissioners. they say that they need something like that so they can push back. >> moderator: we have to move on to mike rounds and you have 30 seconds. rounds: we have to repeal and replace obamacare section by section. it's over $2.4 trillion no plan to pay for it. it will increase the federal debt like you can't believe. it will take away choice for positions and takes away choices for individual patients. medicare subsidized by private insurance industries picking up the difference between the cost for what medicare paid. if you do what you will see medicare go away as it exists today. if you don'

mr. pressler, on to you about the informal care act. >> the aca illustrates why am running as an independent. the absurdity of political debate in this country. this plan was started by governor romney, whom i supported and gave money to, and he is a friend of mine. then carried out by president obama. if romney had won the election, it would be called -- it would mneycare, and already is would support it. because it is called a bum a care, all the democrats supported. it is about the same thing. we need some form of the affordable care act. county commissioners said they needed because they can -- >> we have to move on to mike rounds, 30 seconds. >> we have to repeal and replace obamacare. $2.4 trillion. it has not been fully implemented yet. it will take away choice. it takes away choices for individual patients. using medicare for everybody is a terrible idea, as medicare is subsidized by the private insurance industry picking up the difference between the actual cost and what medicare pays. it does not work. if you do it, you will see medicare go away as it exists today. if you do not want medicare to isst, and follow what rick suggesting because it will cease to exist as we kno
