let's talk about the boston globe endorsement.ell-worded language, the boston globe said, jon huntsman would be a better president. but if he fails, he could still make mitt romney a better candidate. i want to unpack this in two separate questions. the first is, does the boston globe endorsement help your husband or is it potentially -- does it potentially hurt him insofar as he is seen as too far left or too moderate, as it were? >> listen, i think it always helps when you have someone doing their due diligence and looking into the candidate, and making judgment on that. what they said in there is that he is a bold leader. whether you are republican, independent or democrat, you find that jon has the characteristics that is reunique in today's race. >> as far as helping mitt romney, i know it's been difficult for your husband to sort of get out of the bottom of the pack, and i'm wondering, your husband spoke of being up against the tyranny of the clock, saying he wished he had time to get to every corner of new hampshire. today

"boston globe" snubbing mitt romney once again. massachusetts' largest newspaper giving its endorsement to jon huntsman for the republican nomination. four years ago the "globe" chose john mccain over romney. you remember that romney was governor of massachusetts? can't get the endorsement of the paper there? yikes. >>> virginia's governor and lieutenant governor are calling on the state's republican party to do away with loyalty oath for voters to sign in order to participate in the gop primary in march. governor bob mcdonald said the oath is unenforceable and could work against the party's interests. the aclu has threatened to sue if the oath stays in place. >>> and a mother of the l.a. arson suspect, harry burkhart has her own date in federal court. dorothy burkhart is facing deportation to germany. her son is accused in more than 50 arson fires that were allegedly triggered by her recent immigration hearing. >>> and if you're doing the math, the countdown is on. to new hampshire. >> four, three, two -- one. front page faces come

the story that had just broken in the boston globe. the story that prompted his question to mr. romney in the

to vote yes but believe it or not there are still people that are joining the other ranks the boston globe for example just last week editorialized in favor stressing the billions in losses due to copyright infringement so let's settle a few things once and for all as in how much actually guest gets lost in terms of jobs and revenue and why these bills won't really stop piracy anyway her disgust with me has joined sanchez research fellow at the cato institute thanks so much for being here tonight it was a pleasure what do you think why would the boston herald or boston globe excuse me now with so many people in opposition of so protect ip editorialist for it you know i think one of the problems is. that you this is an area where so much of the information and research on the impact of piracy almost all of it really is basically industry funded and if you scratch the surface a little bit it's almost all i mean almost laughably incredible i mean in the literal not incredible in the sense of amazing research but incredible in the literal sense of not believable. and so people hear well billio

i'm quoting from "the boston globe." do not judge me. pay back from an irish setter who had been riding on the roof in the wind for hours. as the rest of the boys joined in the howls of disgust, romney coolly pulled off the highway into a service station. he borrowed a hose, washed down seamus and the car and hopped back on the highway. a teeny free view of a trait he would grow famous for in business. emotion-free crisis management. that was published at the end of 2007. at the end of the summer, he ron the ames, iowa, straw poll for president. right after he won that straw poll he went on fox news sunday. the host of fox news sunday asked mr. romney about this dog business. >> back in 1983. you took your irish setter seamus on oo 12-hour road trip tied to the roof of your car. inside a kennel. >> yes, yes. >> i have a yellow lab named winston. i would no sooner put him in a kennel on the roof of my car than i would one of my children. question. what were you thinking? >> this is a completely airtight kennel. and mounted on the top of o

he was just endorsed by "the boston globe" this morning.r thought in the minds of voters nationwide? >> i don't think he's an after thought. i think that what's happening is people are coming around as we're seeing here in new hampshire. every event that we're going to is growing with enthusiasm, with energy. i think when he got into this race he was immediately dismissed because he had crossed party lines and taken the job to work as united states ambassador to china. as a wife i'm proud of that because he stood up to sever his country. we have two boys serving in the united states navy. the commitment to service has been something very important in our family. i'm proud of him standing up and serving. i think what has happened is the republican party is beginning to take full circle around and come being back and looking for the first time at him and realizing that they forgot to notice that he is the most conservative -- the most consistent conservative, actually, in the race. he is a consistent man in all things that he does. genuine. a

jon huntsman as you mentioned earlier reseized endorsement of boston globe. "boston globe" is considered more liberal paper in boston as opposed to other paper in boston, "the boston herald.". this race is very much in flux. bill: romney folks says the paper hasn't liked him for years. what about ron paul and rec perry? are they in new hampshire? >> reporter: we expect ron paul to arrive this afternoon. he has a big rally. he hasn't been here last couple days since the finish in iowa. he is rallying his supporters holding a town hall. rick perry is expected tomorrow for the two debates this weekend in new hampshire. he will held to south carolina saying the palmetto state is where they will be focusing. it will be interesting couple of days. everyone will be here over the weekend. so things are ramping up in these final days. bill: we'll need a flow chart to watch all of this. plenty to cover. thank you, molly line. martha: there is a bubbling story out of iowa. the chairman. iowa republican party says he has no reason to believe the outcome of the iowa caucu

"the boston globe" said that jon huntsman is the best prepared candidate and, specifically, they saide would make a better president than mitt romney, even if mitt romney gets the nomination. "the globe" said it would make romney a better nominee. huntsman slammed romney yesterday for leaving the state and going to south carolina to campaign where he picked up the endorsements of both south carolina's governor, nicky haley and senator john mccain and also there romney slammed president obama for making recess appointments without senate confirmation. but back in new hampshire, focus also on rick santorum, who came out of iowa just eight votes shy of winning. he called that a tie, saying that he raised $1.5 million online since iowa. and santorum also saying he's not shying away from religion in this campaign. as he put it yesterday, we always need a jesus candidate. veronica? >> tracie potts in washington, thanks much. >>> egyptian prosecutors are calling for the execution of hosni mubarak by hanging. the 83-year-old mubarak who's been brought to court each day in a hospital gurn any

"the boston globe's" endorsement of jon huntsman is not only a big boost for the form every utah governorit's a big snub to mitt romney. it's the second time the big newspaper has failed to endorse the former massachusetts governor. tracie potts joins us from washington with the details. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. good morning, everyone. that nub lets everyone known that south carolina is a big prize for votes, but new hampshire coming up first and romney taking heat for courting both states. huntsman slammed obama for making appointments without senate confirmation. >> chusing winners and losers, and particularly the people in power will choose the people they want to give favor too. >> "the boston globe" endorsed jon huntsman, calling him best prepared. >> the people of new hampshire don't want a coronation. they want people to earn the vote. as opposed to sitting down tonight the people so certain of a victory. >> reporter: huntsman backers have doubled ads. but they challenged credentials. >> he's not a conservative. it's a joke. >> reporter: rick santorum, callin

that from "the boston globe." after dedicating his campaign efforts exclusively to new hampshire, the endorsement comes at the right time for huntsman who says he will likely drop out of the race if he can't place in the top three in the state. mitt romney spent the day yesterday focusing on the negotiation contest on the republican primary calendar, south carolina. romney campaigning yesterday in charleston. jon huntsman took the opportunity to call out his rival for appearing to take a new hampshire victory for granted. >> i would say if you're in south carolina with days to go before the new hampshire primary would pretty much suggest that you feel you got it wrapped up. that would be taking the voter here's for granted somewhat. i don't think new hampshire likes to be told for whom to vote. i don't think they're looking forward to any kind of coronation. they want it to be earned. and to earn the vote here, you can't do it from charleston. you have to do it from newport. that's why we're here. >> newt gingrich

allah with reporters from "thei boston globe" have four years of reporting in today's profile of y,e presidential contender.romne michael kranish, let me ask you the most -- i guess the bigearsr ctendion about that romney. what is it that animates or informs his desire for publicyoa office? >> guest: well, suzanne, that for public office?n. >> well, susan, that's a great question. in the book, we try to explain a bit about the family history and about his relationship with his father, george romney, who of course was governor of michigan, tried to run for president and dropped out before the first primary in new hampshire when he had problems. it's really very easy to see straight line there, mitt is trying to fulfill where his father failed, not just to succeed, but because he shares some of the same ambitions. he has a calling for public service as he sees it. he's been thinking about this from an early age, as a teenager, he was following his father around when his father was running for governor, he was in the state house as a young teenager. late at night, there is anecdote desc

the boston globe's endorsement of jon huntsman is not only a boost for the former utah november but also a snub for mitt romney. tracie potts joins us now from washington with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. all of the candidates realize that south carolina is going to be a big prize for conservatives, but new hampshire comes first. and the front-runner there is taking heat from opponents for courting both. mitt romney starts the day again in south carolina after picking up endorsement there's from the state's governor and senator john mccain, and slamming president obama for making appointments without senate confirmation. >> instead of free enterprise, choosing the winners and losers, instead the government and the people in power will choose who they want to give special favors to. >> reporter: the boston globe endorsed jon huntsman calling him best prepared. hundredsman sl >> the people of new hampshire don't want a coronation, they want people to earn the vote as opposed to sitting tonight down in south carolina, so certain of a victory. >> reporter: huntsman backers

. >> let's talk about the boston globe endorsement. in some circles and i mean circles like ours and political circles as well, this was a big deal. i want to read an excerpt and talk to you on the other side. the boston globe and the endorsement saying huntsman governed utah that put the interest of his state ahead of ideology without personal experience to guide him. romney is catering to the most vocal constituencies in the national security wing of the gop. how stinging of an endorsement was this for mitt romney? >> to hear jon huntsman tell it because he was on my radio program an hour ago, it's awfully stinging of mitt romney. the response is that is that more liberal boston globe. it's an embarrassment. it is the largest and most prestigious newspaper in the state governed by mitt romney. jon huntsman laid is all on the line and is hoping this will give a little wind in the sails of his campaign that is needed right now. it's a major plus. >> he needs a hurricane in the sales right now. polling at 1% in the poll that just came o

"the boston globe" has endorsed jon huntsman.s is the second time "the boston globe" has chosen another presidential candidates. ron paul, newt gingrich, and jon huntsman are all over the state of new hampshire today. rick perry has shifted his focus to south carolina. our focus is in washington. yesterday, the president went to the pentagon -- actually, the first time the president has gone to the pentagon briefing room, and announced a shift in military strategy. we will be talking about that and showing you some of the finer points. tony capaccio of bloomberg news will help us understand some of the details. we would like to open our phone lines and talk to you about a leaner military in the future and your reaction. our line for independents. we also have a line for active- duty military and their families. good morning to you. all of the major papers have front page, a major headlines about the shift in military strategy. we have the bullet points. let me show those to you, so you can see in a nut shell the direction the pre

very interestingly back in 1994, he was quoted in boston globe as challenging ted kennedy to release his tax returns and he questioned whether kennedy had something to hide and went on to say if kennedy would release his tax return on the same day mitt romney would release his. susan, it never happened, neither released tax returns n. 2002, this was brought up when mitt romney ran for governor. he was asked, you mentioned in '94, you would be willing to do so, would you do so now? his aid said he would not do so due to "privacy" concerns. it's been something going on for years. there is a saying in politicss that you should get the story out and get ahead of it and get it out right away so that anything that might be a problem or embarrassing is long since past when crucial days come up. this is something he's been avoiding doing for many years, the boston globe for example, i can tell you for 18 years since he first ran for office has been asking him to release his tax returns and the reason it's important to look at tax returns, not just from the last tax year or even a few years,

on the internet but one public publication is standing behind this very controversial bill the boston globe states quote free speech and fair use can co-exist while the n.c. piracy bill still needs further refinement to ensure that its legal wording precisely matches its legislative intent online piracy as a major problem that imposes a real economic cost congress needs to take action to protect american jobs from piracy although the proposed legislation may be imperfect it is a strong and decisive step in the right direction so i want to ask you why would the boston globe come out publicly support such a controversial bill. i think it's it's confusion there's two points i want to make on sopa in one is it seems like the users of the internet are the only ones fighting against this kind of tola tarion view and shutting down of channels of communication users at home and one that the everybody that would be me that would be everybody is you insane you know google and facebook yahoo these are big corporations that are it gets so but i believe where are the why are they there throwing their mo

the "boston globe" moments ago endorsing john huntsman. candidates and surrogates launching verbal missiles at each other today. newt gingrich loading a racial hand grenade and rick santorum says his remarks were not about race. he also got booed on stage. we'll show what you that is all about. first, the new polling from suffolk university. mitt romney with a commanding 41% of likely republican voters. he is followed by ron paul at 18%, rick santorum and newt gingrich at 7%. this, of course, in new hampshire. both paul and santorum are on the rise since iowa. congressman paul took the day off from campaigning. santorum had a full day trying to turn his near victory in iowa to gains in new hampshire and trying to sell his brand of social conservativism in a leave me alone state. today at a tinor in tilton, new hampshire, he was visited by protesters. then the first lady's 2008 line for the first time in my adult lifetime i'm really proud of my country. he was booed lefrg the stage. >> let me thank you all very much for being here and for y

hey got the endorsement of the boston globe, a big endorsement that is romney's home town paper, at the same time, mitt romney was endorsed by the boston herald, the more conservative paper in the state of massachusetts. that is the state of the race, it is in flux, those poll numbers are altering ever so slightly, romney is still holding a commanding lead. jenna: we talked about mitt romney, gingrich, huntsman, santorum. what about ron paul and rick perry? >> >> reporter: ron paul took a couple days after after his finish in iowa, went back to texas. he arrives today, has a big rally and a town hall. he is still polls second place in the granite state. rick perry also taking time off. he was reassessing his campaign, waiting for word, then he announced he was going forward on to south carolina. he will also return to the granite state this weekend. there are two debates. that will be sort of the final staging in the two debates before the candidates have the last chance to talk to the voters who head to the polls on january 10th. jenna: we'll continue to watch it, molly line, thank you

the same way that jon huntsman's endorsement by the "boston globe", the "boston globe" endorsement of a republican in a conservative primary is not necessarily helpful. i mean it doesn't resolve jon huntsman's problem, just a little bit like the washington times conservative newspaper picking the union leader here picking a democrat in a primary, if anything it probably consciously leads to ignoring it. but i think that he doesn't have the kind of populous message that mike huckabee had or pat buchanan had before him or economic message the same way. but he does, he has established a connection and it's a vulnerability that romney has. romney does not have that emotional-- . >> woodruff: what about huntsman and the opening or not for him. >> i'm not sure there is that opening. he's been there a long time, still only polling 7 or 8. i think if you are a main street republican, you go to mitt romney at this point. now maybe he has that opening. i don't think he really ever figured out how to run the race. was he going to run as the moderate who would stand for clear moderation or some k
