big. yes, mitt romney has got to win ohio and he's got to win a big, southern state. by the way, georgia -- everybody was assuming and i was assuming, too, it's definitely in newt's corner. the polls are fairly tight there. i know for example rick santorum was going there on thursday to go to the big carpet factory in dalton, georgia and talk about manufacturing. they lost jobs there. all the candidates are going to compete in georgia. georgia is a big state with more delegates at stake. >> ten states next week, i predict the kennedy who wins five will be the big winner, just like the oscars. you win five next week, you're going to be the winner. >> and it won't be a silent movie, chris. >> no, well, fortunately for us. thank you howard. mitt romney is the winner tonight. now the battle is on for super tuesday next week. ten big fights next week. i say whoever wins five is the winner. it is a three-way fight. msnbc's coverage tonight continues in just a moment. >>> do you know why i knew t

but, a big move in oil prices plays the biggest role. one energy expert says what's most important is that crude oil prices remain close to or above $100 a barrel. >> a deep water well costs about 50 a barrel, $75 depending where you are. so, if you can sell your oil at $100 plus it's very positive for any of these companies. >> reporter: so, where are oil prices are headed next? energy trader anthony grisanti says that's easy: higher. >> number one you have the threat from iran that's being held over this market and number two as far as refineries closing. you've had three of them close on the east coast, you've had a couple go down on the west coast, you've had some in europe being shutdown and these are shutdowns that are going to be permanent. >> reporter: others aren't so certain energy prices will continue to climb north. they believe geopolitical tensions will be less of a support for the market and then there's the demand concern. higher prices at the pump usually means people buy less gas, which in turn pushes prices lower. stil

he didn't want her to do the giant, big, belting notes. go for it all the way which jennifer can do. he wanted her to take an easy approach, get it done simply, just a piano player to accompany, nothing bigger, and that would be appropriate. it's whitney's big note and it wasn't jennifer's moment but whitney's moment. i think they handled that perfectly toonchts very respectful. >> speaking of big notes, adele came through in a big way hitting all the notes with her new throat collecting six grammys just cleaned up the floor. >> cleaned up all the way across including the big three. song of the year, record of the year, album of the year. she was great in the end. her acceptance speech was hysterical. they love her because she is relatable. but, you know, if you didn't love her before it is so self-effacing. she looked great up there. she sang perfectly. she hit all the notes she needed to. people pulled for adele. i walked out of there loving the fact that she swept them up. >> you know when you're talking about snot coming out of your no

normally this would have been the days he has big, big victories. these caucuses were to get well on the path. i think to a certain extent and i come back to santorum. and if he'd been the last guy standing and now he's going fight gingrich. both have to put real campaigns together to go the lang hall, ron paul is going to stick through until the skpebd he's going to have a voice. >> the gingrich campaign will say tonight this is a vote showing mitt romney is weak and their strategy to get to super tuesday is the way to go. it's rick santorum tonight. so your thought on newt gingrich's speech? >> that is what it showed the problem is that it's now wants rick santorum again. he's the second candidate to come back from the dead. newt which a lot of pund yits have written him off. he's back and it does show weaknesses but it is amazing really how santorum consolidated this. part is because he let santorum through the door. >> all right. thoughts on the status of the race heading towards other contents in the end. let's put this into perspective. santor

so don't tell me this is not a big deal. we have been in all number of ways it's a big deal. what is going on? one of the things that is happening is that in many ways big-time sports is exactly what it was in 1920. at the same. people are making the same complaints. their rules and football are just about the same in the rules and basketball are more or less the same. the rival race, if you want to talk about a rivalry like michigan or you take wisconsin badgers, these trademarks are older than most that we buy today. don't tell me that hasn't been around for a long time. in fact looking at minnesota versus wisconsin, they played football for all but one of the last 120 years, all but one. their football library outlasted two world wars and the great depression. they started their rivalry when benjamin harrison was presidents of these things last a long time. one thing that really changed is the technology of television. one of the things i did was to say, let's go and look at the chicago media market and go to the first weekend in october. how many football games do we see

the person with the the big ideas.ause that's when he does the best. >> and you say ron paul, the fourth candidate tonight, doesn't have a win yet. he's the only candidate who doesn't have a win yet. you say stay candid. why? >> that's his appeal. his appeal is that he's candid. i also bet you that he's going to end up if he attacks anybody it's going to be rick santorum. >> gloria borger, thanks. gloria will be with us throughout the night. >>> today is ash wednesday, the first day of lent for roman catholic licks, a time or reflection for christians who observe this day's special meaning. also time for many of the faithful to give up something they enjoy. true of course for all catholics including newt gingrich and his wife calista. >> what are you giving up for lent? have you decided? >> i am going to give up desserts. all desserts. for all of lent. >> i challenge you to ask her what she's giving up. >> good morning. >> what are you giving up? >> i'm giving up my opinion. >> that doesn't count. >> let's continue our

saying he is a big labor guy. supporting big labor.ator santorum on the trail firing back saying wait, this iser the me down, gotcha politics romney style. what is he going? he tears down people never expresses a vision, view of how he would go about governing the country and changing the obama record. >> bret: is there a sense, do you think, that there is a big speech coming for mitt romney, one where he goes a little bit bolder? he goes a little bit -- puts meat on the economic bone of his speech before. >> i'm not sure i am convinced of that. he has given one of his best speeches ever at cpac when he withdrew from race against mccain. one of his strongest speeches ever. there is potential for that. i think it's hard to change people's mind in the room. the ones for instance are turned off by santorum, the social conservative position, young people might settle on him. he is the best beat to beat obama. >> bret: cpac is the con seventive political action conference in washington where thousands of folks come every year. >> in that ro

two big stories making headlines today. we start with president obama and his bold new refinancing plan. he unveiled it late this morning. and diana olick is at the white house. she has the details for us. hi, diana. >> hi, sue. the biggest problem with the new refi plan is it has to go through congress. given details released this morning, most many washington will tell you it's likely to be dead on arrival. the speaker of the house came out this morning blasting the plan even before the president got up to sell it in his speech. they are "responsible borrowers" and would go through fha. the fha is already facing financial trouble due to high delinquencies and foreclosures, but a special fund would be put aside for these loans. officials put the cost at $5 billion to $10 billion paid for by a bank tax. and that of course is what the republicans don't like. >> to move this part of my plan, we're going to need congress to act. we're going to need congress to act. i hear some murmuring in the audience here. we need them to ac

by the way, getting to the point, who are the leaders, big men, big women who can sit in a council room in the back room, great smoke-filled room and say we have to stop this guy santorum? >> i don't think that mod exists any longer. the absolute proof was the 2010 election where within the republican party and these fissures are part of what's going on in this nomination process. we had this volatility because there's no set of leaders. there is no set of people making laws and decisions. from the grass roots you get, ad hoc decisions get made or signals being sent but no one coalesces all of this. chris: there we, duffy, mike, the rip-around question. if romney conditions in the situation he's in, inability to talk big, inability to talk smile. is he able to win the nomination? >> he is. we now what his flaws are and weak spots are and, of course, obama campaign has all of that tape. >> i agree. it's been a damaging primary for him. >> i will counter that and say candidates can find a reservoir if there's success. what he doesn't have is the kind of success that makes you better. he's

i asked him very bluntly how big he thinks facebook can be. >> i think you can really be as big as wee's really -- if you look at the company itself and the space, it's in the very early beginnings. and there's just a lot of things to get done. what facebook had really done today is it allowed us to have identity on the web. now there's our passport. and that includes a bunch of different things that we do such as our social graph, the people around us. >> is it going to come from user growth? meaning 800 million up, or getting more from each of the current 800 million users or combination of both? >> in terms of user growth you have the limit of world's population. i think both will take place. i think it will expand in terms of user growth. but i think really one of the things that's fairly unique is we just touched the surface in terms of what type of applications and uses the social graph and what facebook has done can help with. >> you've been heavily invested in consumer apps, helping with credit card processing, shop savvy, another consumer application to sort of ensconce peopl

the question is how big is it. there's a clear segment on the ideological right of who is still not comfortable with mitt romney. but i would point out those people were not comfortable with john mccain either in 2008. at some point it becomes conclusive that even though there is some holdouts, that they will eventually get behind mitt romney because they don't like barack obama and they believe that mitt romney will eventually be the guy who can beat him, electability, the biggest factor in exit polling. mitt romney won overwhelmingly. he has to hope that argument wins out because he may never convince the people on the right he's one of them. >> chris cillizza, you're one of us. and mitt romney says his decisive win in florida proves he can win over those conservative voters and that he's ready to go toe to toe with president obama. >> i think the back and forth and even the attacks have been helpful because what's going to come from barack obama will be the same, just a heck of a lot more of it and having people

profits and for big companies. what drives the world the fear mongering used by politicians who makes decisions to break through it's already been made can you trust no one. is you have you with a global mission to reach the where are we cutting state controlled capitalism it's called nationals when nobody dares to ask so we do our tea question more. we just put a picture of me when i was like nine years old and she told the truth. i have a confession i am a total ghetto princess i love grabbing his cock is excellent and pretty sure. he was kind of a yesterday. i'm very proud of the world without you it's a place. well you've heard about the military industrial complex but there's another system pumping money into corporations while harming average americans some refer to it as the obesity and us are all complex it's this system that contributed contributes to the obesity epidemic in the us so while the health and well being of americans suffers who is benefiting well as you'll see big corporations are raking in th

but there's a lot with big data. if you think about what we can do now with data and our bodies and where things are and what is happening, i think this is just going to erupt into a big area. so it's not only sort of the basics of what we're doing now, but i would say where it's going to be going. that's why i say with food. some would mention before, standards. there's big businesses to be built on standards. i'll tell you chinese consumer would buy that. if you think about what happened with milk and what happens with drugs and -- that is a very high value-added area to develop just standards and how we do it. and on the whole big data area, we think that's going to be half a million jobs. but, again, it all depends on how different we do with these sectors. >> that's very helpful. comments, criticisms. >> thank you. thank you. interesting discussions. my name is gina and we're talking about jobs and creating jobs for americans. would you say that we have a global level playing field and are you having troubles wi

the american workers have stepped up in a big, big way. and it's unfortunate the republican party is saying that adding jobs is a bad thing in the automobile industry because they didn't do it the republican way. yeah. the bain way. give me a break. you want to know why the guy is getting his butt kicked in his home state? he's not honest. he's not honest with the economic facts of what is happening with the economy, and you can just see the jealousy drip off him in the commercials. he would be a horrible candidate at the didn't have a bunch of money to spend on tv ads. if it was santorum and romney standing there with nothing but what they believe in, romney would be out to lunch big time and he wouldn't know how to pay for it. >>> speaking of paying for stuff, think about this, the automobile loan is being paid back. it's fiscally responsible and the republicans are against that, too? get your cell phones out want to know what you think, tonight's question would a loss in michigan effectively end mitt romney's campaign. a for yes, b for

it cleared a big opening in the understory, killed small trees, and left a big opening in the canopy. and in that ening, a rush of trees germinates and establishes. and we call those trees -- they're very fast-growing -- we call them pioneers. they pioneer the new gap. and they're specialists. they don't occur inheerstor theynly occur these gaps. so this promotes diversity, because you have species specialized to these gaps. you have species specialized to the dark understory of the forest. and if we look at a big landscape scale, the forest is a mosaic of trees and gaps. rror: sorees are specialized by the nutrients in the soil. dr. hubbell: this species is rare. this is casearia, and it only occurs in this local little area that we're in of about 100 feet by 100 feet. and there are a couple hundred individuals here, t nowhere else in the plot, or very rare in t rest of the plot. and so we're trying to understand why this species likes this particular place in the forest. and one idea is that this particular species kehigh-calcium soils and poor-phosphorus soils. and so thiis one are

you know, he's had some campaign stops and well attended campaign stops and some big, big events in michiganwhat about his strategy and what he's trying to do? >> yeah, i don't know what his strategy is there. i mean, it's highly unlikely that he's going to pick up delegates despite the fact that he said he thinks he's going to, because he's got to win congressional districts in order to do so. so, i thinks' not likely to do it, you know, there are people who are saying he's there to sort of reinforce the case that mitt romney has been making against rick santorum. you know, that's possible, they've been doing it, you know, ron paul's been echoing the romney indictment of santorum in other ways, i don't know what he's doing. >> last thing, newt gingrich, he's down in georgia, he was down in tennessee and obviously, the southern strategy, putting a lot on washington and super tuesday. >> yeah, i think he's right, that it's very important to win your home state, but you can't only win your home state, and in a strategy at this point seems to be a version of what was santorum's after south caro

mitt romney the big winner. not so big in the spread , but a big win as far as momentum. rick santorum will finish second. in third, ron paul, and newt gingrich will finish fourth. the interesting thing about michigan is the congressional districts were still -- 8 of them are two close to call. the split in delegates could be very tight. santorum could pick up relatively the same number, maybe even more, depending on how it goes congressional district. >> joining us now, chief political correspondent, mr. cam ran. hey, carl. >> hi, megyn. a big relieve for mitt romney to

big news in ipped nams, a big step forward in the recovery of peyton manning. doctors have given him the okay to take hits again. he missed this season with nerve problems in his neck. but his future remains uncertainly. the team owner has indicated his star player may be cut to make room for future number 1 draft pick andrew luck. >>> thus avoiding a big bonus payment that payton is due if he stays with the team. correct? >> exactly correct. >> yeah. >> so this indy racing story, there -- the sand is going out of the hourglass on this. i just punched up the indy car series. >> uh-huh. >> you know just what a spectacular event. they are still in the off- season, talking about indy drivers doing charitable events and what not but i can tell you this, they have an ambitious schedule this year. come on back here just one second. the schedule this year takes them from japan in -- in three weeks they are doing this. from japan where they are running a race, to the west coast, where they are running a race, to baltimore. we are literally going halfway around the worl

is it big enough to move the needle? how much of an impact the event could have on earnings, not just headlines? could it provide a serious boost to the numbers or will it barely make a dent in the estimates? companies try to hype new products all the time. very rarely do you find a true needle mover, a genuine catalyst that could drive the stock much higher. however, that's exactly what we've got this time around with the hunger games, a new movie coming out in march, generating a ton of buzz on the street and in this case i think the buzz is actually justified because this film's a needle mover for the studio that made it, lionsgate, lgf for all you home gamers. that's why i think you need to get in this stock ahead of the march release date, even as they've already had a big run since the beginning of the year, rallying 35%. all on the buzz for "the hunger games." i had to go back about 25 years before you say one that worked for me. the "harry potter" films were barely enough to move the needle with time warner why d

a big win in florida, now a big win in nevada. republicans who describe themselves as moderate or liberals, governor romney won. who won among those who described themselves as very conservative? governor romney. that's very point, because that's a point where he's been weaker. what about the big issues? such a small percentage said abortion were an issue. if you look right here, who has the right experience? governor romney? strong character, governor romney. who is the true conservative? here's one weak spot, ron paul paul won among a small group. this 45% of the voters said this was their number one priority. and governor romney winning among those who say defeating president obama was the top priority getting almost three out of four votes. speaker gingrich a distant second. this has been gingrich's strength in south carolina. two states in a row have said governor romney and here in nevada, a huge margin. let's look at one more. if you look here among faith, governor romney is a member of the church of jesus christ of latter

big changes on the way. the winter that never happened finally trying to make a comeback here over the next couple days. we've got cold air that's coming in from canada. blaming the canadians there, ashleigh, and moisture from the gulf of mexico and these two things will meet up and so we'll watch for snow across parts of the great lakes, ohio valley today and moves into the northeast as we head into tomorrow. keep that in mind as you make your weekend plans. the snowfall today generally will stay light, only a couple inches, but it's enough for advisory criteria for louisville, kentucky, into cincinnati. most of that snow is going to be falling say after the 3:00 hour. so this will really affect the drive home. chicago, also under the advisories. we'll get a little enhancement coming in off that lake. so the big shock, though, out of all of this, despite some travel concerns with the rain and the snow, is going to be those temperatures coming in and believe it or not, yeah, we're talking about 15 to 20 degr
