>> yeah, well, andrea, you hit on it., i do, talking about the republican field, is it weak, is to strong enough? can they beat president obama? what we probably should be paying more attention to is what's the unemployment rate and do people think the economy is moving in the right direction? the answer at least in the "washington post" poll today is clearly no. that's a big problem for president obama. let me highlight one number in there. we asked who do you trust more to handle the economy better? republicans in congress, 45%, president obama 42%. three months ago, president obama had a 12-point edge in that question. that's a disturbing trendline if you're sitting in the white house or chicago trying to plot how to get president obama re-elected to a second term. >> and it may be within the margin of error, it clearly is, but for the first time, mitt romney edges ahead of barack obama head to head. >> and no accident there, andrea. i don't think we should be surprised. if this is a referendum on the economy, we think

the san andreas is the main fault. there is the hayward fault. the difference between the two is that the san andreas is predominantly offshore. the hayward fault actually crosses beneath populated areas and poses a larger threat. as we speak, there is a 67% probability of a major earthquake on one of these faults in the next 30 years. it is of major -- high probability. it is a magnitude 6.5. the 1906 was 7.9. the 1957 earthquake was 5.7 on the san andreas. the loma prieta was 7.1. it was so far with it we got a little effects of it. that is the overview of the geology. >> i would like to setup a wonderful old chart of san francisco from the 1850's and 1860's. let's look at this northeast corner of the city. it is really interesting. i am sure that frank has a lot to say about it. the thing i find absolutely surprising about this is that there is this large area called mission bay. out in the middle of the bay is mission rock. many of you have been to mission rock resort. this is part of the shore line now. look how far off shore it was in the 1

i spoke about it earlier with former prosecutor paul henderson of san francisco and andrea lyon a lawanthony's defense attorney. >> george anthony denying an affair with the volunteer and that he said caylee's death was an accident that snow bald out of control. how do i think it play today? >> i think this is more of a distraction. the defense is trying to get in all of the side issues to distract the jury from focusing on the real central issue which is how did this child die and who was responsible for it. and so to me, the facts that are the aleutian allusions to the father having an affair or how the search took place is a distraction to the issues in the case the i'm not as concerned with it. >> andrea, clearly the defense is trying to bring up everything they can possibly think of, which i guess is their job. but does it make them look kind of scattered? >> well, you have to remember that george anthony said to this woman that it was an accident. and that is the -- >> he denies it though. >> of course he denied it. but she confirmed it. i mean, you know, he's going to deny it n
