dorothy, what's behind this gingrich surge? >> it's the perception of a mass of people, what they're looking at. i think it was pretty pat of all of the commentators to say, well, this is the latest flavor of the month. i doubt this is the latest flavor of the month. >> what is his appeal, though, at this moment? >> his appeal is simply -- it's not simple. it's the genuine concentration on issues, his capacity to engage people on issues. by issues we mean foreign as well as check in. the debt of his reportings on the meaning of issue. there's the x factor, the feeling that people have that they're listening to something different and substantial, some kind of very hearty meal as opposed to a kind of mind-numbing repetition of the government is broke, washington is broke. how many times can you hear that? >> so he can think on his feet? >> and extensively. >> steve, in the summer, as you know, the gingrich campaign was given up for dead. his staff had quit. he had all kinds of troubles. couldn't raise any money. still not raisin

dorothy, with the accusations and the responses, what have we learned about herman cain's candidacy this week? >> we've learned that it's fallen to its rediktable point and stick with the campaign and run, as we say by the seat of your pants and the response by the seat of your pants. this wasn't what was required in the situation and we got a certain amount of loss of his usual affable cheery nature. that's not surprising. he has a lot of fire and intimacy and that's what ignited audiences and i wouldn't have expected him to be deeply diplomatic, but let me say, this was not a good outcome, the explanations were not good. and the inconsistencies perhaps predictable, but there's a kind of rip roaring hostility which you can understand. he's being accused. >> and only in the world of espn political critics does this seem to resonate and you just saw the poll numbers and cain remains on top and a lot to do with his personality and so far the vagueness of the accusations and people understand the sexual harassment claims can be serious and many of them can also be frivolous. until we have s

dorothy, i wish you well. i hope you will do a great job. we're stuck having to choose between two great candidates in mr. reid's and mr. towers. i very much appreciate the way mr. reeds presented in it. i see on your application -- you did not mention this -- your professional work at san francisco state. thank you for all the work you do there. that said, i think we really have made a focus of bringing in some post-9/11 of debts to that commission, and i think hearing about mr. towers' involvement already, respectfully, i think he is the choice today -- we really have made a focus of bringing in some post-9/11 that's -- vets. >> i would be happy to support that. i think everyone here knew this was coming today, but this was one of those things where we cannot do enough for our veterans, and to have veterans come forward and apply for commissions like this, it is a horrible decision we have to make, but this is also a commission with these seats come up, and i am start your experience was turning in an application a year ago and just hearin
