i'm bill hemmer. martha: i did, didn't you? bill: it wasn't bad. martha: what a surprise. good to have you here, everybody. this was not close, destroyed the competition, cain got 37 percent of the vote in this florida straw poll, perry way down at 15 percent and herman cain reacting to what some critics say, it was just a fluke. >> i think that is absolutely false. i talked to a lot of delegates when i was in florida all last week. it's not a protest vote. look, the message coming out of that victory was quite simple. first of all, the voice of people is more powerful than the voice of the media. secondly, message is more powerful than money. bill: cain also said earlier that perry's performance in that debate last week hurt him, saying, quote, it's not just what he said, but how he said it. that's from herman cain. martha: that's interesting, and herman cain is not the only person commenting on rick perry, fox news senior political analyst brit hume, one of the many to weigh in on the performance and brit, not mincing words. >> perry really did throw up all over himself

hello, bill hemmer. bill: good morning, martha. martha: doing well. bill: governor perry's calling himself a pinata, remember that? facing criticism from all sides last night. martha: who emerged last night? who sort of shrunk a little bit from the scene, who's emerging as a serious contender aside from perry and romney? >> governor perry made a decision where he gave parental right toss a big -- rights to a big drug company. that big drug company gave him campaign contributions and hired his former chief of staff to lobby him to benefit the big drug company. that's what was wrong with that picture. >> he gave a speech in 2001 where he talked about buy national health insurance between mexico and texas. i mean, i don't even think barack obama would be for buy national health insurance. >> there's a rick perry out there that's saying, almost a quote, it says that the federal government shouldn't be in the pension business, that it's unconstitutional. unconstitutional, and it should be returned to the states. so you better find that rick perry and get h

bill: i'm bill hemmer. busy morning already, right? 447 billion, the price tag intended to spark hiring and fuel the ailing economy, right? martha: but the president wants to pay for it with tax hikes, on the wealthy and we started to get bits of this yesterday, when we spoke about how it would be paid for and now republicans say they believe, as they always have that that would be a job-killer, and it would not help to create jobs. listen to this: >> if the democrats couldn't pass these when they had an overwhelming margin the congress why should they expect to pass it in a divided congress now. martha: mike emmanuel is live on this for us, capitol hill, what else are we hearing on this from the leading republicans this morning? >> well, it is interesting, martha, because, leading republicans are saying they like, if you will, the a la carte approach and like bits and pieces of the president's proposal but do not like the white house's all-or-nothing approach, house majority leader eric cantor told reporters off camera, quote, i will

bill: i'm bill hemmer. are you all right. martha: i'm fine. bill: story gets deeper and deeper.ian terry was gunned down in mexico. martha: now local governments, law enforcement and civilians especially in border states like arizona are fuming at the feds for arming some of the world's most dangerous criminals. >> lo and behold, we now found out our own government has been facilitating and with the straw purchases of weapons, being placed into the hands of the most violent criminals in north america, mexican drug cartels. that is outrageous. martha: outrageous he says. william la jeunesse joins us live in los angeles. good morning, william. >> reporter: well, martha many would say it is bad enough to knowingly help sell guns to criminals or to knowingly to allow them to go across the border but the new documents shows the administration goes a step further, using tax money to buy guns, sell them to a known trafficker at a profit and then look the other way as they fuel violence in mexico. >> the purchase was being done by a criminal organization. >> reporter: so far federal off

wow, going back to the 1920s, good morning, i'm bill hemmer. martha: good to see you, good morning, everybody, i'm martha maccallum. last night's special election, it all started when congressman weiner resigned in june after that whole thing with the racy texts and message, we'd like to put that in the back of the memory bank, but it ended with turn -- turner taking away that democratic seat held since 1923, in a district where republicans are outnumbered 3-1. shocking. bill: it seems like the world is tilting on its head now. eric shawn, live, what happened here? >> reporter: it's seen as a stinging rejection of president obama and his polices. the improbable speckter of a conservative republican? trouncing his democratic in what is the most heavily democratic districts in the nation. bob turner is a retired 70-year-old businessman, he did even better than the pollsters predicted, he defeated his opponent by focusing his campaign on president obama, his handling of the economy and polices regarding israel. he defeated w-fpl eprin despite heav

bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning to you, martha. martha: good morning, bill. bill: that's correct. we have two corrects, jim webb, a democrat out of virginia said, "we should not increase taxes on ordinary income, there are other ways to get there." a democrat talking that way. martha: and talk about this: look at what mary landrieu is saying from louisiana, she's a democrat as well, of course and comes from the energy producing state of louisiana, where she's none too happy about the plan to help pay for the $447 billion bill by using basically -- relieving tax and oil subsidies from producers in those commodities in her state. and she says that is not the way to go. hers her quote: "that offset is not going to fly and he should know that. maybe it is just for his election, which i hope is not the case. those are pretty song words. bill: two of the lawmakers, too and we have a list of a dozen, a dozen senators on the senate side alone, 11 of whom are democrats and one independent, joe lieberman have different issues with the jobs plan, either it is too conser
