in recognition of this, and upon the arrival of penny anderson and david wolf, i asked both of them to provide for my consideration the views on the successes and challenges of the program. candid, honest assessment and challenges to the program. these kinds of assessments are extraordinarily valuable tools that we need in order to evaluate progress and determine where improvement is needed. in a program like cfas, corrections are to be expected and ongoing decisions will need to be made. in late november of 2011, a detailed report was hand-delivered to me. it is important to note that in addition to the reference challenges, the report also positive posed for my consideration a charted path that will address those challenges. specifically, the report included an action plan with detailed recommendations for addressing the issues identified, and we have shared those recommendations with this committ committee. since my receipt of this report, each of the numbers in the action plan have been assigned a number to the leadership team, and i have already seen progress on these issues. for

wolf. >> thanks very much, david mattingly in stillwater, minnesota.stlerock, colorado, they're counting votes where you are right now. have they finished? >> reporter: they're counting votes right now. we have -- what do we have here so far? who has 19? >> rick santorum. >> reporter: rick santorum 19 votes so far. there are about 48 people in this caucus, between 45 and 50. we have 19 for rick santorum, it doesn't appear any of the stray candidates that dropped out received any votes at this point, wolf. we should hear in a matter of minutes, have this final tally and take the vote in the caucus room and write it on the board in the front of the classroom and let everybody know who won. looks liq a pretty tight race between -- 18 votes for mitt romney, 19 votes for rick santorum. they're counting newt gingrich's votes right now. six for newt gingrich. and our final tally here is for the ron paul ballots here. and eight for ron paul. eight for ron paul, six for newt gingrich and 19 for rick santorum. a good night for rick santorum at the gop precinct i

wolf? >> hold on, david mattingly. i want to go to paul in carson city.are counting the ballots in carson city. you have access to this with the only effort that is going to see how the folks in carson city are voting and gingrich 12 and santorum 15. and 19 for santorum and 20 for paul. as we whip around, let's get a look at our campaign. you can see that the ballots are pouring in. there's 24 precincts here in carson city, wolf. what you have is about 12,000 republicans in this area. about 10,000 democrats. this county did go for john mccain in the last election. so it will be interesting to see how everything shakes down. it looked to be at least 50%. all the precincts appear to be that way tonight. so far romney, of course, is doing the best as we've heard. he flooded this northwest part of nevada, made a lot of stops. all the candidates seem to be registering to a degree and i hear ron paul in my ear. they've got a lot of ron paul supporters here as well as gingrich supporters and santorum. what everyone is seeming to say, this is a super bowl for the

wolf? >> good fact check. thanks very much. i remember that conversation we had with david brody with the christian broadcasting network on thatt. newt gingrich raised this issue last night and said the mainstream news media never covered it, never asked the president of the united states about it in 2008. i immediately remembered that exchange in our report in "the situation room" right here. thanks very much for that, jessica. >>> the federal government has more than $1 billion in unclaimed money. you have less that two months to claim some of it. stand by. you'll find out if any of it may belong to you. >>> plus what if you could lose weight by taking a single pill. there are new details on a drug that controls hunger. you have one new message. [ mom ] hi scooter. this is mommy. the progresso chicken noodle you made is so good. the vegetables are cut nice and thick... you were always good at cutting your vegetables. and it's got tender white-meat chicken... the way i always made it for you. oh, one more thing honey... those pj's you like, the ones with the feet, i bought you five new pairs. love you. did you see the hockey

. >> wolf, for analysis we go to david gergen and gloria borger.e state of nevada. four years ago 40% of the people who were polling at the caucuses were very conservative. that number's gone up by 8% in just four years. what do you think of this? >> if you look back to four years ago, unemployment was at 5.5% and guess what there was not in the state of nevada? there was not a tea party. was tea party had not been invented at that particular point. so what we have an electorate that is more conservative, they have the highest unemployment and foreclosures in this country. we'll have to see what the turnout is but it is is a more determined republican electorate here because they're very upset. i think the question we have to answer is whether they're now rallying or when accept mitt romney as a tea party standard barer, which we have not seen before this or whether romney's just going to win so big that maybe a rising tide lifts all up. >> sort of the opposite results as we saw in the case of south carolina. it looks from entrants polls maybe that

david gergen to assess what's going on. rick santorum could have an upset tonight. that could set back mitt romney's air of inevitability. >> he really needs a win, wolf. he's trying to prove this race that he's the conservative alternative to mitt romney, not newt gingrich. so if he has a win or two wins, both of which are possible, then he gets the bragging rights. and he can continue on and perhaps raise enough money and get enough juice to go on and compete in super tuesday and make the case about his conservatism. >> a lot of people thought only a few days ago that romney was going to coast in colorado -- three states made for him. >> i think a lot of us are wondering why are we going to atlanta to talk about this tonight. here we are. it's a night of real drama. there's real possibility especially if rick santorum were to win two out of the three but if santorum won one and ron paul wins the other, that could very much upset the dynamic of this just before super tuesday. it would be the last big major political event before super tuesday. and that would cast a lot of questions, raise a lot of doubts about super tuesday. >> here's the other thing

wolf? >> a dramatic victory for mitt romney. we're getting to hear from him. john, let's go behind this dramatic win by mitt romney in nevada tonight. >> and to david's point, part of this is psychology. 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

david. >> has been a busy day for yahoo and now we learned late in the day a large shareholder will chaj challenge for four seats on the board of directors, wants to nominate himself, michael wolfer mtv executive, jeff zucker our old boss, and harry wilson, well-known turnaround specialist, a frequent guest on "squawk box." two of the new directors who just were put on the board when the chairman last week said he was stepping down along with a number of others, interesting fight brewing here on a day whether we learned we told you earlier the plan to spin off the company's asian assets had fallen apart or negotiations toward that had fallen apart. this is another distraction for mr. thompson, and a fight on the hands of mr. loeb. >> david, do we know if those board members if in fact accepted on the board would make a change in terms of those asian assets? you reported today the company stopped talking, the talks about selling the asian assets to alibaba, would they vote for a different scenario? >> the board has been behind that plan as of now, brad smith, the director on the board has been very involved in trying to get that done but didn't happen. i did speak with dan loeb

wolf. >> we'll get right back to you shannon as susan senator susan collins wraps up her pep talk to the supporters, republicans who have shown up in the caucus in maine. david gergen you're in maine yourself. this is tailor made certainly for mitt romney who is from massachusetts, but it certainly is tailor made for ron paul as well. >> it is, although it seems a more natural state for mitt romney, he did win the caucuses there with 52% four years ago, and ron paul came in with only 18%. so i think it's historically been more of a romney type state, but a time and attention that ron paul has paid to maine, donna made this point about rick santorum, going in and visiting often makes a difference here and one of the things interesting so far, we have heard the turnout seems to be up in the caucuses. that's a sign that ron paul may be doing better than expected. >> when we're talking about turnout, david, it's not a huge, hundreds of thousands of folks showing up, there will be several thousand but not a whole lot more than that. >> right, and just remember it's thousands of people who are at cpac voted, too, a big crowd. here is the danger when i think of wha

wolf. >> a dramatic victory for mitt romney. we're getting ready to hear from the republican presidential candidates as folks stand by. let's go behind this dramatic win by mitt romney in nevada tonight. >> to david's point, part is psychology. governor romney is convincing the government electorate, and i have it wrapped up. look at the entrance poll in nevada. this is how to show it up front. who won among moderate and liberal voters? governor romney did? who showed up to caucus? governor romney did. who described himself as very conservative? governor romney did. what about the big issues. you see now faces here because such a small percentage was abortion was an issue or illegal immigration. the two were the budget deficit, and if you like right here, who has the right experience, governor romney. strong moral characters and voters said that was most important, governor romney. who is the true conservist. they said ron paul was the number one quality. 45% of the voters in the nevada caucus said this was their number one priority, and governor romney winning among those defeating president obama getting almost three out of very four votes. this has been gingrich's strength in the state of south
