i'm christine for you watching our team. well let's start off with the person that time magazine deems is the person of the year this year where there were whispers that would be steve jobs but no this year time chose the protester kind of an interesting visual for the protester but in many ways the choice make sense from the arab spring to the crisis in the euro zone to occupy wall street the protester has come to embody much of what two thousand and eleven has been about fighting whether violently or not for a change so we want to take a look at a few of this year's protests that we see significant and examine what they resulted in and talk about what connects them and what sets them apart let's begin with egypt and more specifically the mass protests in tahrir square now the reasons ranged from widespread poverty to anger at the thirty year reign of egyptian president hosni mubarak protesters most of them peaceful came to embody the arab spring was mubarak to step down the protest was embraced by the american media and go

as christine o'donnell. on behalf of the tea party, not on behalf of christine -- this is a personal endorsement. as i've said before, the passion that motivated the tea party and gives them the energy to ge forward and to be a force in the political process could be the very undoing, if we're, you know, so rigid about you know, once there is a nominee if they refuse to unite behind whoever the front-runner is, then it's going to fracture the base of the party and it's going to make sure that barack obama is, you know, gets re-elected, and i'm really hoping that, again, i'm not so arrogant to think that my endorsement's going to make or break mitt romney, but i hope might bona fide someone who's gone against the establishment, people that have read my book, they know that over and over i have sacrificed for what i believe is right, and i want them to know that that same level of sacrifice is going into my endorsement of mitt romney, and i genuinely trust him and am hoping, again, that -- that that gives some

howard fineman, christine o'donnell's endorsement of mitt romney. there is a real mystery at the core of this thing. number one, why couldn't the romney campaign stop it, and what's going on here? she's saying gingrich is more liberal than romney. how did this happen? howard? >> well, being one of the people that had the honor of covering the christine o'donnell campaign in delaware, i can only imagine that there may be, i'm just saying, hypothesis, maybe some unretired campaign debts involved who know as mitt romney has said, money is no object. i can't imagine that that would be a problem if she needed to have the rest of her debt retired. but if they didn't actively try to prevent it, didn't distance themselves from it, they made a big mistake. to the extent anybody pays any attention whatsoever, she proves the point that mitt romney doesn't have any real conservative support. >> john, she doesn't know what she's talking about. clearly has talking points that mitt was for the mandate, and she's endorsing a guy that made the mandate law, the indiv

. >> is romney so desperate that he is trotting out christine o'donnell? what was that endorsement trum itted by the romney folks last night and by christine o'donnell. >> that o'donnell decided to wade into the race is not terribly surprising. she wants to remain relevant and sell a few more books. the thing i was struck by was that the romney campaign put out a release. they had a quote about how she is a leader among conservatives. there are marginal benefits to having christine o'donnell. she does have a donor list. she is seen among some people within the tea party as one of their leaders. but those are offset that she is a punch line more than a politician since her 2010 senate run. and i don't think there is one endorsement that makes mitt romney credible. >> i don't know, maybe sharon engle would do it. >> but for the romney people saying she has been a conservative leader for many years. that is a stretch. it seems to smack of a little bit of desperation. i want to go to the general election match-ups with president obama. clearly the race is a lo
