joining us, jimu greene and dee dee banky. welcome. dee dee, let me start with you, how does this growing list impact the race? >> yeah. it is not a good week for the obama administration, what's going on in columbia and the clowns. and then the soothesayers, fortune tellers. it goes on and on. and the war on women and hillary roseuent grenade that blew that up for the democrats. it's a rough week. the biggest issue is the american people not happy with the washington, d.c. waste and all the money going down the drain for these issues. and people don't like it. d.c. is toxic and people are not going to want to vote for the person in charge. obama is at the helm and washington, d.c. is a mess. we need to make a turn in the economy, that's the biggest issue on people's minds. >> eric: do you agree? >> no. not exactly. i do think that the american people have lost this week because the media is focusing so much on manufactured crisises. but i think it's really important to not try to lay blame on president obama and this administration for th

dee dee, white house, calling his intellectually clear? >> i called him hefty. >> as he pursues or tries to keep power, therefore i would like to hope his apparent decision to end his campaign. >> yeah, i think that's right, we see the worst of newt gingrich whether during he tenure as speaker or other periods where he's tried to assert himself in a substantive way, as opposed to trying to provide an avalanche from the sidelines, which -- one of them is genuinely interesting. >> like the shark that dies when it stops swimming, newt perishes if he stops talking. there's really no difference between a newt gingrich running for president and one who is not. >> there's more desperation when he's running. >> i suppose that's right, but all he did was get out in order to preserve his future financial -- >> he's milking the exit. >> who does that? >> two things here. the meeting i talked about prior to the break. he hayes a role to play. he probably would continue to play a role, but i also think that it's fun to laugh at the stops at the zoo he made -- >> he has a stop -- tomorrow. >> fair enough. >> but there will be a historical significance. he will go down as the first casualty of the super pac in a presidential election. we'll look back as his campaign was the first to get submarined by an entity not related to a competing campaign. >> we have to leave it there, but it's important to note his super pac has millions in there. something tells me newt gingrich in his inventive weighing will figure something out. >>> coming up, it may be the year of a woman, but a new battle is brewing over a crucial measure to protect them. tom, check this out. good gravy, bill. our insurance company doesn't have anything like it. magnificent, isn't it?

>> you know, i think this is really a bill that's been worked on for some time now, not just coming out of nowhere, and it really was about identifying places the law needs to be fixed and frankly i don't think there's any surprise that there's a federal law that doesn't address the needs of the community adequately community. this is an opportunity to fix one of those problems. this is a bill that was up and being considered. >> i want to open open it up to our panel here. going back to the war on women discussion, one of the things most striking about this current debate is republicans for the first time are having republican women come out in support of republican measures. i believe it was sandy adams talking about her abusive husband, tries to pain a picture, that they're not insensitive to women's needs, they just don't agree. deenk it's effective? >> i think they have a long, long way to go. it's like all of a sudden he woke up and discovered a 16-point gender gap, and my gosh, we ought to organize something to show we actually care about women. so republican women in the house are creating a women's policy committee and young guns are creating a women's division, so trying to create these vehicle toss show they care about women. in fact the policies are the problems, not the lack of organizations. >> even as they try to coalesce support, it's divisive. we care about women, but not native-american women, not immigrant women, not lbgt women, and when you look at the visas for immigrant women, dhs undershot on the number of visas they were asking for. they thought they were being quite reasonable, thought they were proposing something republicans could get on board with, and it's really just republicans broadband radical on this. >> this is just a reminder that the house republicans are going to be the single be

>> there's dee dee's prediction? >> i think it will be close.n election tomorrow, president obama would win narrowly, but we have a long way to go. there are a bunch of international events that could impact, as well as the impact of the economy. i give the president a slight advantage, but that could change. >> talk about gas prices -- >> that's right. >> people are very upset. people don't have the money. in the real world, that's the way it is. whenever you have fortune tellers and have you succi and beef wellington and fancy parties in washington, those of us in indiana and the rest of the world -- >> guilty to being a pollster, but i'm no fortune teller. >> eric: thanks. always good to see you. >> jamie: parents sure know this, they have a lot of student debt they may be carrying for their kids. we have reached $1 trillion in student debt. it's more than all of our credit card debt combined. what do graduates and parents need to know to make sure this isn't the next big bub toll burst. that's next. what's withou? trouble with a car insuranc
