donna britt is the author of the book "brothers and me," which is in part about the shooting death of her brother by police in gary, indiana. she's a former syndicated columnist for the "washington post." and, florida state representative dennis baxley is a republican legislator who co- authored that state's so-called "stand your ground law." he joins us from orlando. ta-nehisioat, i'lltart with you. there's been a lot of calls for the police chief to step down, he's done that at least temporarily now. what's your reaction? >> i think it's a good first step. i think over the long term we'll have to see how much it actually means for the investigation. i think what's important is that people were not simply calling for him to step down just because there has not been an arrest. people were calling for him to step down because they were vastly and, in my opinion, legitimately displeased with how this investigation took place. it was just a very shoddy job and i think this is about the absolute least that could be done so far. >> suarez: dennis backsly, what's your reaction to the latest

is n not over. >> i am joined by peter morici and donna evers.ying devil's advocate the governor would say this is all well a good. what would you have him cut? >> we are in too fragile estate. i think everyone understands. what he does not get it, i do not know. >> ok, a tough crowd for governor o'lley. taking it to the presidential level, you hav been saying the ama administration does not quite get it with oil and ga drilling. president obamaas a three- pronged energylan. -- says his opponents have the three-pronged energy plan. drill more, drill more, drill more. >>>> and that is what prompted me to write my op-ed seeing e president is out of it. it is somewhat separate from the global market. we have less supply. if we drill and we expanded domestic production to 10 million barrels a day, we to createte 5 millionobs without spending taxpayer money. the problem with president obama if he is not paying for it, he cannot take credit for. he is mumuch more interested like governor o'mall in taxing more. >> governor o'malley, come on the show and

hi, donna. >> yes, it is good afternoon.ice to hear your guys' voices. >> it's good to see you. >> i feel like i'm very, very far away from home, i have to tell you. we've had a good trip. it's been a very hot, as you can imagine, overwhelming trip here to uganda, because it is an extremely poor country. just yesterday, we were at a school called raise of hope, which is in one of the slums of kampala, where they have about 300 kids there, largely orphans and kids who really would otherwise get no education who they go to day school there. i'm staying at an orthopedic handleage, which is where i am right now, and if you can, you can see what a beautiful view it is up here. uganda, i don't think people realize, is a spectacularly beautiful country. and over in the distance, i hope you can see this, lake victoria. you see it? that's actually the source of the nile river. so, beautiful here. just gorgeous countryside. but there's a lot of problems. and i know that people have heard and seen so much about the kony video that has

george will, donna brazile, cokie roberts, matthew dowd. and terry moran. brazile, cokie roberts, matthew >>> good morning, everyone. some news overnight. former vice president dick cheney is resting in a virginia hospital this morning after receiving a heart transplant yesterday. the 71-year-old who has suffered five heart attacks had been on the transplant waiting list for almost two years and his initial prognosis is good. >>> and in the presidential race, rick santorum is riding high this morning after bowling a turkey in louisiana. >> very clear and crisp state and that is, we don't believe that this race is over. we're still here and we're still fighting. >> but even with his 11 wins, in this nomination battle, santorum is way behind in the delegate race. mitt romney in a commanding lead. with more delegates than all of his rivals combined. after his win in illinois on tuesday, romney is the only candidate who can wrap up the nomination before the convention. what does all this mean in the race against the president? let's begin with david plouffe. he

what do you make of donna's argument?night there's still a core group of conservatives that romney has to connect to. if you look along the southern border of illinois he's not doing very well down there. he's not doing well in the rural areas or well with evangelicals. but i think he's the nominee know. this is the first big race he's won where there wasn't a caveat to it. at the same time, we have to keep in mind there's a large number of evangelicals who they're not wedded to a party and they don't particularly like mitt romney. you can say it's because of his faith. you can say it's because of his positions on life issues over time. whatever. the fact is they're not wedded to him. and they're not necessarily wedded to the republican party and he's going to need those people to turn out for him in november along with independents who tend to lean republican. which i think ari is like. he'll get a lot of those. but the base of the base, if they're not enthused by him, they can only run for so long on antipathy toward th

you so much to donna and to bill.se are tremendous folks, there is lots of opportunity for other volunteers to volunteer as well. without volunteers we would be in a very unfortunate position. these folks give so much back to the community, countless hours every month. >> i'm sure there are seniors who are watching that don't know there are these opportunities out there. donna, tell us what you're doing as a volunteer how you got started. >> i volunteer for the senior connection, they take care of seniors, 65 and older, we do drives to mostly doctors offices, appointments, will take you shopping, they have a program where you come in and help with you your paperwork, and we have visitors program where people go in to people's homes to visit with them or play cards or something like that. and we also have a telephone program where if you can't get help but you want to volunteer you can make phone calls to other people who are home-bound. i have been doing this for 14 years now, and i enjoy it. the volunteers are very m

i want to bring in donna brazil as well as paul begalla, and ralph reed. also here in new york gloria borger and david gergen. say electability is the number one issue, they all go for mitt romney. you haven't been a fan of mitt romney. but that's a pretty telling argument and a hard thing for rick santorum supporters to fight against. >> very much. he's been fighting it around the nation. my caution has been if you look at the exits in 2004, a lot went for john kerry because they thought he was the most electable. rick santorum hasn't sold himself to republican independen who lean republican. he hasn't done a very good job. david gergen was right when he said he's had a bad week and can't control on social issue. i know that most voters looking at the exits consistently even in the south they're concerned about the economy and jobs. >> paul, did it make sense rick santorum spent so much time in puerto rico? >> candidly, no. it's easy to say let's not try there. puerto rico is catholic. senator santorum is a catholic. but he got creamed there. he got a nic

ginning me now to talk about this is donna rose. when you see that statement and you know what happened, what's your reaction? >> i'm sad. more than anything. it one easy to say that i'm angry because those kinds of things happen all the time. most people aren't called upon to validate their gender as a significant part of themselves the way that she has, especially in this very public way. but it seems like the same battle with eeve had since renee richards wanted to play tennis and just move on with her life. and had to answer that question about what's a woman or what's a man. >> she apparently said over twitter she was disqualified for being born. having said that, we did get a statement from the ms. universe organization which says in part, quote, as with any omp competition, the ms. universe pageant has rules which applies to all of its franchises around the world. additionally, the rules currently state that all contestants must be naturally born females. after review, it was discovered she falsified her application and did n

donna cassata covers defense for the associated press. and colin clark. >> sequestration, we know you hate it, we know you want to change it. this morning, your ranking member, mr. smith, suggested that by allowing the tax cuts under mr. bush to expire in december, this would solve the problem. republicans would not have to vote for a tax increase. you guys could march forward. what do you think? >> adam is a good friend and we worked together on this. our committee is bipartisan. i really tried to work because we look at our responsibility as protecting the men and women in uniform. defending the nation of the country. however, we have had many hearings and i've expressed my opinion. he has expressed his. my opinion is that our responsibility, my responsibility, is to look out for the defense of the country, to make sure that men and women in uniform have all of the training, equipment, tools, leadership, then they need to carry out their missions and return home safely. i do not think it comes under my jurisdiction to worry about taxes

donna? does sequestration happen? >> i think it all comes down to what happens on election day and what happens in lame duck. the inclination among members to address this issue after an election whening in something might be -- someone might be in their last few weeks of their term. >> i'm willing to bet something big happens on december 23. >> probably. in the meantime, the defense budget, he's trying to get more monday for the pentagon. is it possible that he can, donna? >> it is going to be very, very hard. there are divisions within the house republican conference about increasing the money. in particular, you have a lot of new freshmen, the tea party-backed lawmakers who want to cut the deficit. they have said everything should be on the table, including defense. >> we're talking about 2013 spending, colin, right? >> yes. i was fascinated by the chairman's pledge that he would not try to reassert the global hawks u.a.v.'s that are built in his district for a billion dollars jobs, et cetera, and yet he said, i wi

i'm joined by george will, howard dean, matthew dowd of abc and donna brazile.rge, let's start out with that question, five wins in a row now for mitt romney, is this it? >> it's not it yet. but it's getting there. counting delegates, republicans have something akin to the superdelegates, 117 delegates from the republican national primary and a lion share of those will go to romney. i suggest that our viewers watch two things on tuesday night, first watch virginia, because there's no choice there except ron paul and romney, ron paul will be the vessel for all of the antiromney voters. the worst thing that could happen would be for santorum to win ohio and georgia and drop out. that's it one-on-one and all of the social conservatives would go to santorum. >> ohio is key for santorum. must-win for rick santorum. >> if rick santorum doesn't win ohio, this race for rick santorum is over. but the argument will be the nonnew mitt romney candidate is newt gingrich. he goes on. if he wins, he's not prepared to go out. who is the nonmitt romney is it rick santorum becaus

he's the president. >> is he thin-skinned, donna? this is what the republicans do very well. they deliver these cheap shots because they don't have solutions. no, he's a tough -- >>> we'll have more. >> you know, as an american, i don't want there to be any difference between ari and i when it comes to protecting israel and protecting the united states, and i think that's the message the president of the united states is trying to deliver. >>> guys, thanks very much. >>> we're standing by for the first exit polls of the day on super tuesday. our first clues about what's in the minds of voters on this important election today. also some surprising remarks from the sister of the house speaker john boehner about the republican race for the white house. she tells us how she may wind up deciding who to vote for. ♪ oh. let's go. from the crack, off the backboard.
