delaware has 17 delegates.s the most comical political strategy i have ever seen in my lifetime, and now he is saying not win it but maybe he'll stay in if he comes close. at a bare minimum you should crush in delaware but it's possible that he won't. nonetheless he continues to have the secret service protection. do you know how much that costs the taxpayers? $40,000. no no no. not $40,000 period. $40,000 a day! a day! what happened to fiscal discipline? and he doesn't just have the normal secret service, he has the deluxe package. he has six cars, six federal agents, four state troopers and four local agents and one press agent. what in the world do you need six cars for newt gingrich for? okay. well, you know what in the world? he did have a security threat. let's watch. >> i got bit by a penguin. i went to the st. louis zoo. and i got bit by a penguin. >> my bad, newt, i take it back. okay. you never know when those penguins are going to come for you. and by the way he already has the secret service protect

of delaware. although delaware is the second smallest state in the country with 17 total delegates at stake for the state, it has a little bit of special significance in terms of today's news. tonight's republican primaries in particular, because newt gingrich told nbc news yesterday that if he didn't finish at least a close second to mitt romney in delaware, that he would have to "reassess his campaign." that led to speculation if the delaware race is a blowout for mitt romney tonight, we might see newt gingrich formally suspending his campaign and effectively quitting the race this evening. mr. gingrich spoke in the last hour. he did not quit the race. we'll have more on his remarks tonight. and his future in the race coming up in the show. mr. romney's speech tonight, interestingly, is not taking place in any of the states that were voting today. mitt romney was not speaking in new york or pennsylvania or rhode island or connecticut or delaware and he's not doing what some other candidates have

so washington led his forces across the delaware, gathering all the boats as he crossed, and then he began to try to reorganize the army to try to undertake and invent a new way of leadership. he wrote back home. he said he discovered something with these new england men. he said he discovered "people unaccustomed to restraint cannot be drove. they must be led." and so he undertook to invent a way of leading. the first thing he did was to work with his counsels of war. they had been very difficult bodies before. this was normal in those armies. it was mostly a place where the commander told subordinates what he intended to do and they did it. in america it was a little more complicated than that. washington had often fluctuated between that very authoritarian style he grew up with and then they ordered him to consult with other officers, which he undertook to do and it was not very successful at first. but then they worked out a way of doing it. his chief lieutenant was sent to the continental congress and in boilermaker they worked out an understanding, first of all, that the contin

i was 26 years old in wilmington, delaware. very democratic district. i would knock on doors and talk to people and they were happy to see somebody. not many people did anything like that. they supported -- able to get elected. that was the springboard to what i did later on. young people can do it. i would never underestimate a good enthusiastic young person with good ideas in terms of their ability to do it. political parties are very receptive to young people doing this. they're looking for candidates in areas where there particular party is not doing well. that person could go out and to you get the job done and as far as getting elected. it is a very rewarding career. so many people tell me i would never do what you do or i would just -- couldn't imagine undertaking that or whatever. but they can and you could. anyone can and the opportunities are there. i would hope our good young people whether they are well-educated or not, sometimes people are not well educated or pragmatic and reasonable thinking you can contribute a lot to the public discours

he wanted to take a stand in the state of delaware.ust declared that delaware has gone to romney. gingrich spent an awful lot of time in delaware trying to win that state. so i think he's at the end of the road. >> you see calistlista gingrich there speaking on behalf of her husband. see if governor romney is about to be introduced there on the left there. we'll obviously bring those comments to you live. ari, do you -- i mean, it's only a matter of time before gingrich drops out. do you think he would do it tonight or do you think he might wait? >> first of all, it doesn't matter. newt has been out of this for months. i think newt, if you go back to iowa when newt delivered that attack concession speech to know where he's getting out much too late. he has not made a good case for his name after this primary is over. and that's a shame because newt's done a lot for the republican party. but graciousness is part of politics. you just have to know when your time has come to walk off the stage. he's stretching it out to no avail. i think

and delaware, america lost a great public servant. from the point of view of the republican party, the party lost a seat. mike was a shoe in to win that seat and to become vice president is in line to run but when the younger joe biden looked at mike castle, she said of mechem hee-haw mike castle was too rough with his record in stature and delaware and surefire event. i don't know which is which. very few people voted. she won and so i am really pleased to share the podium platform with representative castle and look forward to his comment. >> thank you. i also replaced to be your thank you for your comments. i just want to ask you some questions that relate to things you and i have been involved in and are both self-described as moderate and moderately republican for a long time coming and clearly there has been a complete taking the part of the moderate wings of the democrats and republicans in the congress of the united states state by state but in the converse it's clearly that way. and i'm trying to determine the cause of it bec

they first went to the hudson highlands, but 150 years later, it went to the delaware highlands. and really diverted the water that normally went to philadelphia to new york city. i don't think they anticipated that. narrator: the majority of new york city's drinking water comes from watersheds in upstate new york. a watershed is the area of land where water from rain or snow melt drains downhill into a body of water. mountains act as a funnel to feed rivers and lakes. and in this case, reservoirs. in the new york city system, water is collected and stored in 19 reservoirs, which can hold more than a year's supply -- over 580 billion gallons of water. almost all of the system is fed by gravity, without the use of energy-consuming pumps. valves open to regulate the flow into the 85-mile-long delaware aqueduct -- the longest tunnel in the world. at hillview reservoir... the water is partitioned into another giant tunnel system. where it travels deep below manhattan. the pressure built up by gravity from the mountains pushes the water upwards toward the surface through vertical shaf

delaware is one of five states holding primaries.oters in con, nuclear, pennsylvania, and rhode island will head to the else polls. the first time since rick santorum dropped from a race. that he was john paul and gingrich as the only gop candidates left to challenger mitt romney. >>> it may seem like a given but president obama will be the democratic nominee in november. the president is expected to officially clinch the nomination with today's primaries. he has won nearly every delegate so far. >>> obama and romney are both eyeing young voters and actually agree on one thing -- the need to reduce student loans. cnbc's jackie deangelis now with more on that story live. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, aaron. president obama is going back to school today. he travel the to the university of north carolina and the university of colorado to urge congress not to let interest rates on student loans double in july to nearly 7%. student loan debt has officially topped $1 trillion. the new york fed estimateding about 15% of americans

washington led his forces across the delaware. gathering all the boats as he crossed. and then he begin to try to -- reorganize the army. to try to undertake -- to invent a new way of leadership. he wrote back home. he said he discovered something with these new england men. he said he discovered, quoting from, from him. he said, people, unaccustomed to restraint, cannot be drove they must be led. quote, unquote. so he undertook a way to invent a leading. first thing he did was work with counsels of war they had been very difficult body before. this was normal in 18th send schur rearmies. in the british army, counsel of war was a place where the commander told his subordinates what he intended to do. they did it. in american its was a little more complicated than that. washington had often, fluctuated between that authoritarian style he had grown up with. and continental congress ordered him to consult with other officers. which he undertook to do. it was not very successful at first. but then they worked out a way of doing it. nathaniel green, his chief lieutenant was

mike's too tough with his record and stature in delaware. sure fire man. the tea party candidate emerged. i don't know which witch, but -- [laughter] quite a few people voted. she won, and the seat changed hands. i'm really pleased to share the podium, the box, with the representative, and i look forward to his comments. >> thank you, arlen. i'm very, very pleased to be here. thank you for your political comments about my political demise, i could about cry, but that's a different experience. i want to ask questions about what we've been involved in. we've been termed and self-described as moderate republicans for a long time. there's been a complete taking apart of the moderate wings of both the democrats and republicans in the congress of the united states. it may differ state-by-state, but in the congress, it's clearly that way. i'm trying to determine the cause of it because when they take polls, the soft description by most people is they are moderate something, moderate liberal, whatever it may be, versus any other description, but the parties manage

newt gingrich now says he will reassess staying in the race if he does not do well in delaware where he did quite a bit of campaigning. and president barack obama will call on congress to prevent student loan interest rates from going up. the president will first take his message to the university of chapel hill and then to bolder. president barack obama wants congress to freeze the current interest rate of 3.4% and those rates are scheduled to double on july 1st. >>> john brice will join remember are you brown in san jose along with many ceos in the silicone valley are scheduled to attend. they will discuss the innovation and competitiveness in a global economy. >>> many at&t workers plan to show unawaring stickers again this morning. that is after the stickers were sent home. workers across the state say the letters do not stand for what most people might think. >> we refuse to take the stickers off and we refuse to go ahead and leave. >> they did e-mail a statement saying company policy rio de janeiro choir employees but we don't believe such a sticker or button is appropriate in

five states voting today, pennsylvania, new york, connecticut, rhode island and delaware and each state a chance to solidify his lead and a chance, a chance, to rack up delegates, his eye on the prize, the 1,144 delegates needed to seal the deal. romney spent the hours in the swing state of pennsylvania net to contender and gop it man marco rubio fueling speculation of a mitt-marco bumper sticker for president. >> looking forward to help in any way i can to let the american people the choice they have between the way we're going now and the way we should be going. >> the man romney and his eventual vp pick will be vicing in november, president obama, is expected to lock up his own party's nomination today. joining me for the political power panel, jenn soccy, former deputy communications director for president obama, amanda turkell and the former communications director for rick santorum and advise tore to the bush cheney campaign. after all the intros i want to start with you. the question today not whether mitt romney wins but how he wins and the nature of this victory. >> i would be

is this the end of the road if he doesn't win delaware? what's the prospect in delaware?i always hesitate to predict the end of the end for newt gingrich. he's basically set himself up in some ways, if he doesn't win delaware, come narrowly close to winning, he is probably going to get out. delaware is winner take all. he would win 17 delegates. this is all at the margins. he is not going to be the nominee. it is a question of when not if he drops out. >> okay. thanks so much. we'll see you tomorrow. that's it for this edition of "andrea mitchell reports." we have a big show tomorrow. david axelrod joins us. olympia snowe and roy blunt. >>> a new report shows social security is driving up -- drying up even faster than previously thought. the reason? babyboomers, a weak economy, and politicians afraid to step up on the ledge to reform it. >>> plus, developing news after the disastrous rocket launch we all witnessed. north korea has reportedly completed preparations for a third nuclear test. >>> and for eric cantor to marco rubio and yes, even the president. all are proclai

after campaigning hard in delaware, following that loss, he said he would take a realistic look at the state of his campaign. >> but we are going to think carefully about how we can be the most helpful to this country and how we can make sure, one, that barack obama is a one-term president, period. >> reporter: gingrich promised supporters he would be at events scheduled in north carolina this week. meanwhile texas congressman ron paul has vowed to stay in the race until the convention, even though he has yet to win a single primary. >>> despite winning all five races last night, mitt romney did not capture enough delegates to secure the nomination. a cbs news estimate has him 298 delegates away from officially becoming the republican nominee. >>> both republicans and democrats are wooing college aid voters. president obama heads to iowa today to continue his pitch, prevent an interest rate increase on student loans. the president spoke to college students in colorado and north carolina yesterday. mr. obama said he and the first lady didn't pay off their student loans until eight years

local resources in the law enforcement community, in the national guard as we've discussed before delaware and rhode island have network warfare squadrons in the national guard that i think can and should play a positive role here. what sorts of resource constraints do we have in terms of effectively responding in the law enforcement community, first responder community. my concern about a cyber threat is that it will emerge -- well, a, it's very broad and a very serious threat today. but, second, a critical infrastructure threat will emerge very quickly and require very rapid response. >> i think a couple of things, senator. obviously, i share your concern. working with state and locals who are on the floor at the end kick, 24/7 watch center. but it's helping with training. it's providing lots of information. i think we provided 5,000 actual bulletins last year. cert responded to 106,000 incidents itself. and so training, information sharing -- and then across the country in certain locations, we have centers of excellence, which are helping us refine what we are doing, but also think ahe

i just am concerned that when i go and talk in my home state of delaware i don't hear the same level of broadly shared understanding of just how real, just how constant, just how present a threat this is to intellectual property to our critical infrastructure and the vibrancy of our nation. let me question, the last area, would be immigration. i was struck there was a recent pew report that came out i believe saying for the first time in 30 years there are more illegal immigrants returning to mexico from the united states than coming here. and i think that is in part due to strengthening in the economy there, but it's also, i think, the unprecedented action of this administration to hire more border guards, depord foreign workers and engage in strorngs smart and effective border security and enforcement. and i wondered if you had any comment on that. >> i do, and in fact i looked at the pew study yesterday and it does -- what it's talking about are long-term migration trends, and what it identifies is exactly what you said. that the trend now is more out-migration in mexico that in-m
