ari is right. this is strictly when a campaign is a cause as opposed to something that will end in ultimate victory. you have to have energy and perseveran perseverance. i think john pointed out she's had trouble keeping staff. some people are hard to work for. i don't know that much about her. >> to john's point about the entrance of mitt romney changing or maybe stalling some momentum, do you think that's true? if so, how big a problem do you think it is for her? >> you know, i think michele bachmann attracts people working for her because they believe in her and she has a special appeal, charisma and energy. even if you are working on a campaign that's not winning, but, remember, she does have a chance to win this thing. it's too soon to pronounce who will win the republican nomination. that fires up a staff and gets them energized. you have to let this play out. if she does lose staff, at the end of the day it's not the worse thing to happen to candidates. many candidates go through staff chang

>> interesting stuff, ari fleischer?raordinarily fluid republican primary that's built on shifting sands. at any one moment, any strong candidate can emerge on top. perry and romney both did well tonight, they're both going to have more money than their opponents. one point on jon huntsman, he has to look like he's having more fun at these debates. he reminded me of a schoolteacher whose classes you wanted to cut. he has to have a little more fun out there. >> gloria borger. >> i want to follow up on wolf's point. rick perry wants to be the truth teller among all of these candidates, that's what he was doing tonight. not backing down off his positions. he also wants to convince republicans that he's the person to take the fight to barack obama and by not backing down on what he believes, his campaign thinks that's going to help him. >> david gergen, we have about 30 seconds. >> anderson, the big story of the republican nomination fight right now is the way rick perry has burst on to the scene like a bright star seizing t

i think they can work together. >> go ahead, ari. >> hey, frank, ari berman.estion following up on krystal's point, which is that the education debate has become so politicized in this country is that you're either for testing or not for testing or for unions or not for unions. how do we broaden it out and have education be something that's easier for us to the discuss and talks about more quality of solutions. >> it's a debate about learning, not about spending on education. >> yeah, i think what you just said is correct. this is all about learning. we focus too much on education and teaching. and of course, the real issue here is our teachers. we need to be able to teach our teachers this way of doing -- this way of having their kids learn. we've got to begin with the teachers and inspire them them to understand that the best way they can teach their kids is to be sourcers or mentors and have their kids be apprentices. it's in that new relationship, it's not student and teacher, it's not test and creativity, it's a mentoring/apprentice relationship between t

ari, let's start with you first.re there aspects of this case that made it more an important one for a stay of execution despite tonight's result? >> absolutely. as several of your guests have pointed out, one aspect was a change in key eyewitness testimony. people who at one point believed one thing and later believed another. another aspect was of course reports, many credible, about the prospect of a different suspect. and the third aspect, one that we really have to hammer i think here and one that i know you've brought up repeatedly in your interest in justice issues is the racial aspect, the fact that when you look at the way the death penalty is used in the united states and when you look at the way prosecutors pursue these cases, whether it is deliberate or accidental, whether it is something that we think comes from a direct racial -- or other types of coincidence or juries, the fact on the data is all out there that shows that death penalty is disproportionately used many times against african americans. an

ari is right. this is strictly when a campaign is a cause as opposed to something that's going to end in ultimate victory. you have to have a lot of energy and perseverance. i'm not surprised and i think john pointed out she's had trouble keeping staff at the congressional level and some people are hard to work for. maybe she's one of those people. i obviously don't know that much about her. >> to john's point, ari, about, entrance of mitt romney maybe i changing or stealing her momentum, do you think that's true? how big a problem do you think that is for her? >> you know, i think michele bachmann attracts people that work for her because they believe in her and she has this special appeal and charisma. even if you're working on a campaign that's not winning but she does have a chance. it's way too soon for anybody to say who's going to one the republican nomination. that fires up a staff and gets them energized. so i think you have to let this play out. if she loses staff at the end of the day it

ari, it feels like beef seen this before, republicans being pegged as the straight talker in the racewins a straw poll, then starts running out of steam. is is it reasonable that herman cain will be any difference? >> i think the third behind perry and romney is a terribly important battle because i think it is very possible one of the two front-runner sz going to stumble. therefore whoever is in third will move p up to second, it could be cain, could be santorum. it's important to keep your eye on. when you watch cain in the debates, what gets through is he comes through as so sensible, so direct spoken, so strong. and the reforms that he proposes are structural. no tinkering in the margins. he really wants to change washington and i think that from a ceo has a lot of appeal to republican primary voters. >> cornell, cain also told wolf he could take a third of african-american votes, basing that on anecdotal evidence. is there any polling that could help make that case? >> first of all, do you think you're going to invite me on the show and i'm not going to talk about the ridiculousn

ari melber from "the nation."d reuters editor at large krista -- >> are you coming over for sunday? >> i was. i was trying to provoke the credentials to access food. your thoughts on what you're witnessing in the political primary process? >> i think that you said it right, dylan. you know, i think that romney is definitely emerging as the strongest guy. now, people say, how you do in detectives doesn't really matter. that's not what determines people's votes. but what i think it is shaping is the view of the republican establishment. >> which is what? or being shaped how? >> i think the republican establishment is really feeling that perry is too shaky, really not a totally credible guy, and i think you are seeing people coalescing around romney, which is interesting, because a lot of big republican donors don't actually like him that much. but i think they're looking at the field, and they're saying -- >> don't like romney that much. >> don't like romney that much as a guy. but i think they're saying -- >> if yo

but ari makes a good point. remember back in 2008 how demoralized the republican base was here in minnesota when john mccain became the candidate. because 82% of the republican base felt he was too liberal. but that's where mitt romney does want a fragmented field of conservatives. if conservatives want to have a conservative run against barack obama they need to unite in the next three months behind the best candidate and not fragment our vote and open a door for a mitt romney to become our nominee. >> i have to leave it there. ari, you wanted to jump in. >> well, i was going to say, what you're also seeing is that almost unprecedented in modern american politics. the no front-runner issue. republicans almost always know who we're going to nominate. not this cycle. that's what's led to looking for a christie, looking for it and someone else. >> let's keep in mind, though, that this time and four years ago we had rudy giuliani and fred thompson leading the polls and both faded quickly once the process started. i

i disagree with ari when he says it won't work in the center. the fact of the matter is those are not just democrats who are responding that way. it is also independents. >> are you shaking your heads when he said it appeals to independents? >> yeah. it certainly doesn't appeal to independents. that's why so many democrats in those tight races don't want to come close to supporting this. mark penn, hillary clinton's pollster in the last election, he said on the record today, that barack obama is careening down the wrong path to re-election. he should be working as president, not a candidate. he should be claiming the vital center, not abandoning it. >> mark penn, we saw how well he did in giving that advice to hillary clinton in her race. you have republicans in a position who constantly say no to everything. if you're going to achieve any kind of compromise in washington, d.c., you cannot have a gop on one side saying no, we don't care, absolutely not. they're going to shut off all options. the president has made an effort, and he's been critic

ari, welcome. >> thank you. good to be here. >> let's get right to it.do you think won that debate? >> well, mitt romney did. mitt has shown a real solid and steady performance over time. after three debates, i think little has changed in the republican dynamic. at the very top it's romney and perry. there's an interesting race going on for third place and i think rick santorum did very well and may be moving up there, especially in iowa. that's very important in case one of the two front-runners stumbles. >> you mentioned romney is your winner. let's talk about rick perry for a moment. conservative columnist charles krauthammer said following the debate that rick perry is, quote, still the rookie in the field. you represented george w. bush and he got a lot of heat sometimes for not really being the smartest guy on the stage. he became president, so does perry have reason to worry here? >> well, i don't think he has reason to worry. he's a strong rookie if you want to call him a rock okirookie. i think the issue is he got in late and i don't think anybo

but ari makes a good point.emember back in 2008 how demoralized the republican base was here in minnesota when john mccain became the candidate, because 82% of the republican base felt he was too liberal. but yet our process can let somebody thread the needle, if they do the right things and that's where mitt romney does want a fragmented field of conservatives. if conservatives want to have a conservative run against barack obama, they need to unite in the next three months behind the best candidate and not fragment our vote and open a door for a mitt romney to become our nominee. >>> the latest from the amanda knox trial. what lawyers said in court today. the appeal, i should say. dr. conrad murray, a shocking day in the courtroom. a recording of michael jackson's slurring speaking. listen. negotiator: you must be the new kid. naomi pryce: i am. i'm in the name your own price division. i find empty hotel rooms and help people save - >> - up to 60% off. i am familiar. your name? > naomi pryce. >> what other "ne

ari, is this something... what of economists and other political analysts, what have they been saying about that? is that something that people think could have the effect that romney says it would? >> romney says he doesn't want to start a trade war but he doesn't want to surrender right off the bat. you know, china is the largest holder of american debt. so when it comes to the u.s. economy, china has significant clout, significant power. that's worrisome to americans. i think there's some disagreement about what the best approach to china to take would be. but the approach that mitt romney laid out today seems to be a bit more aggressive than the other republicans are suggesting. >> woodruff: are his proposals different from president obama's? >> you know what was interesting to me is that while there is a lot of difference, there were a few areas where i don't think president obama or mitt romney would emphasize this but there was some commonality. for example romney said today that congress needs to right

they listen to when ari fleischer says, "loose lips sink ships," if you will, you know? and so it's harder for a comic to win over their audience or to get the audience to listen if they're not just being a "team player." you know, i've got a lot of things to say about my government, because i care, because i am patriotic, you know what i mean? george carlin is very patriotic. that's why he's so mad. you know what i mean? bill hicks, when he was alive, had a lot to say because he cares about what the government does in his name. now, the government makes decisions on your and my behalf constantly. they do not let us in on 90% of it, and then they will ask you to sacrifice your children and grandchildren to pick up the pieces and clean up the mess, which is what they're doing right now. i'm sure there was a lot of intelligence that was ignored or warned-- or forewarnings to the distaste that 90% of the globe has for american foreign policy. and if there wasn't so many people that were afraid to speak in the mainstream media or weren't so neutralized or weren't just lackey
