convinced she's going to run and i think the big sleeper candidate is actually going to be governor martin o'malleynd. i realize the governorship was lost to republicans in maryland this last run. but whoever takes iowa and if you look, 2008 huckabee took it for the republicans, 2012, santorum. it really takes someone who will go there and knock on the doors. i think what's what we have too keep our eye on and governor o'malley has been there a number of times. keep our eye on and governor o'malley has been there a number of times. he is a knock on the door type candidate so i think he may be a sleeper. >> let's switch up to capitol hill from the white house. we're probably getting a little ahead of ourselves on that. you heard the republican panel. we just had the new members. does that encourage you that they can get rid of the dysfunction. >> it does on the one hand and there is a new possibility here with a republican senate and republican legislature. the most productive times legislatively in our country is when you've had a unified body in the legislature and opposite party in the executive

martin o'malley has been a successful governor of maryland but he is dinged here lately by the bad rollout of obamacare in the state and the loss of his -- those are the main ones where looking at in terms of -- host: our caller is robert in atlanta, georgia on the democrats line. caller: good morning. it has occurred to me for a long time that the most progressive thing these progressives could do is do whatever they can to preserve social programs for those who actually need it. there has been a lot of middle-class into those programs, people who don't need them but get them nonetheless. i'm annoyed when i see organizations like aarp -- whenever a suggestion to do anything to preserve or protect social security, raise taxes are raised the aid, the entire liberal organization freaks out. that is highly inappropriate productive and economics don't work. if you take a clearheaded look at the economics of those programs, the amount of the budget they are consuming now they will fall flat on their face and harm the people who need it while those who should not necessarily be fully benefiting

. >> there's always took he may run for governor of maryland following martin o'malley. we have two ceos of mega drug companies joining us. the heads of biogen and merck checking in from the jpmorgan health care conference. would you have been seeing meg's wonderful interviews all day today. she'll be joining us with those two gentlemen on "the closing bell" today. >> looking forward to all that. here is where we stand with an hour to go. the dow is off 100 points. starting the week again on a down note. off half a percent. the s&p is off about 17 points 0.8% and the nasdaq the underperformer today off 38. >> if we're down 100 points or more on the dow, it would be six straight sessions where we've had triple digit moves for the dow. you go back to june of '13 to match that. >> that was the taper tantrum. this is almost the reverse of the taper tantrum. that was spurred by people talking about interest rates going up. this time around it's interest rates going down. >> which we're going to talk about right now with tom from the sevens report. he's part of our "the closin

even though we've seen, you know, potential other rivals such as martin o'malley, the outgoing governor of maryland suffer a big blow, not transfering the governorship to a democrat there. i don't think clinton runs, i think room nee runs. i think it's more likely to be a romney clinton than a bush clinton, i don't see -- i see it being a tough primary for jeb bush. the tea party movement was a reaction not only to president obama but also to president bush, very much so to president bush. there's a lot of bush fatigue in that party. the republican primary field is very disjointed. it's huge. it's going -- with mitt romney's announcement it's starting to get bigger than we thought it might be more disjointed. i don't think anybody is making a prediction about that right now is crazy but i think it's more likely to be romney-clinton than bush-clinton. >> ryan, what do you think? bill, sorry. >> good to see you all this morning. i hope you recognize how fortunate you have to have brian lamb here today he usually charges a lot of money, the fact that he came here for free today, you should

host: let me ask you about the now former governor of maryland martin o'malley who had visible appearances last fall, stepped down as the governor of maryland. it's been protocol quiet guest: he is the most interesting wild card in this race. he was very active early, traveled, last year, i think to 23 states a two-term governor of maryland a very successful governor by most people's assessment. he was, you know, he abolished the death penalty, raised the minimum wage in maryland one of the first to pass civil unions to marriage equality. so gay marriages were occurring in maryland before they were elsewhere. he was against the war. after the torture report came out, he was the only candidate to say or potential candidate to say there should be a special prosecute. or. he positioned himself if he wanted to be the liberal art alternative to secretary clinton, but he's gone kind of quiet lately. his hand-picked successor was unsuccessful in the governor's race and i think that was a little surprising to him and to a lot of us who watched maryland politics. i think he said he is going to make

know she's somewhere in the 70 percentile when compared to people like vice president biden or martin o'malleyders, and those numbers haven't really changed at all and she's defeating a hypothetical republican opponents as well so it appears, if you believe that reporting, that she will wait as long as possible to formally launcht campaign campaign. it will allow her to focus on the third and fourth quarters when we get closer to 2016 when people's interests build and that ready for hillary superpac around for a few years goading her into the rates. their plan is to shut down as soon as she announces and that means they will have to stick around a little longer and raise more money they weren't anticipating to find. >> there is competition and marco rubio comes back up into the conversation. >> yeah. certainly rubio had a fund-raiser here at the delano in south beach over the weekend friday and saturday and he left a lot of people with a very strong impression that he's probably going to run for president. right beforehand he told his aides prepare for a presidential run. now he didn't say qui
