but until i ran for governor, i have never really truly eggs florida michigan. now why can tell you where the biggest ice-cream cone in the north is. i can tell you where to get a gourmet hot dog on the shoreline. i that many of you have not been there. there's a good reason people live in every place in our state, but seldom do we see that. we only travel through them. the other thing is to find fun activities even as you get older. i took up scuba diving because i wanted to try something new. it is scary when you first start doing it. you find yourself under 60 feet of one -- water wondering, why did i want to be here? i had seen a whole new world that i have only seen on television. the only way you really enjoys scuba diving is if you relax. even though you may be scared, the best way to do it is to totally relax and just float along. it's the best experience. the final question is one that we often do ask but i want to emphasize it. do you feel you were making a positive influence in a mother's life? -- in another's life? that covers some of territory. here

florida, 5.5%. michigan, up 5.1%. don't forget, though, these states are where prices fell the hardest. also note that these numbers are looking back at spring. so what's ahead? well, the asking price report portends the future about two months. after rising for three months, asking prices flattened in may. that may be the seasonal slowdown or it may have to do with that not so stellar jobs report that we just got. one more thing to note. numbers. rents are still rising. and accelerating in their gains. that, too, from trulia.com. rents up 6% in may from a year ago. rents in several major markets now up well over 10%. if you want more numbers, we've got them for you on the blog. real realtycheck.cnbc.com. >>> let's bring back in bruce kasman and jonathan golub. bruce, diana laid out the fact we are seeing pockets of strength. overall how do you feel? >> i think housing is beginning to recover. but it's still pretty gradual. it's still vulnerable particularly to weakness in the labor market. i think what we've had happ

. >> they're now going back to states like florida and ohio and michigan and colorado, and they're going to keep doing the same grass-roots work, educating folks candidly on president obama's disastrous economic record and what folks can do about it. >> reporter: the heavy spending in this race shows that these large outside groups from both parties are increasingly interested in investing not just in the presidential race but in state races and congressional races, scott, where a few million dollars can make a big difference. >> pelley: thanks for the insight, nancy. so, scott walker becomes a republican star overnight. does this contest tell us anything about the presidential race? that is a question for john dickerson, our cbs news political director tonight. john. >> when the obama campaign launched last year they outlined six different ways the president could win. in every scenario wisconsin was considered safe. now the obama team says it's a battleground where they're going to have to spend money and precious time. republicans showed in the walker effort that they've gotten good a

assistance program has helped build seven first of the kind refineries to produce biorefineries from florida michigan said, oregon, to new mexico. one of the companies in the new plant has just begun commissioning their plant in indian river county, florida which will use citrus and other municipal solidways to produce eight million gallons of ethanol every year, six megawatts of renewable electricity. they have over 100 people working on the job completing this first of a kind plant using 85% u.s. manufactured equipment by the way for the facility. so there's so many things. i could spend a long time going through all of the exciting efforts going on literally from the east coast to the west coast, north and south where creative entrepreneurs are coming forward with the support through the usda to be able to get them through what is often called the valley of death as they have a great idea but are trying to get it to commercializations and efforts that are leveraging private dollars and public dollars to be able to have these companies move forward into full commercialization where they can create

and i know i know i know that anyone that votes an election to determine the presidency it's michigan it's florida it's california and new york you can't win the presidency without those states ok as a result candidates don't go anywhere so you know what i'm getting at ok and in this is what europeans want i mean i remember we did this mechanism for a security in peace and a lot of people don't have security and people are getting less prosperous very clear that europeans. i don't want european voters don't want. united states of europe but i think you can start in places and that's what i was trying to do this may make sense to people if you look at the way the european banking system looks right now that you have cross border banking all over and it's incredibly important for eastern europe for example you know that requires solutions at the federal level before it has been motion if you tie into the success for example in europe so let me stress one thing poland success wouldn't be possible without membership in you and poland shows to others how to use the funds and use the chancellor well and

in montana, missouri, michigan, ohio and florida, my home state, where those senators voted to supportbamacare. right now there's a big battle going on, a semantic word game going on about the deciding vote, the 60th vote. now, bill nelson in my home state of florida, and i'm going to show an ad in a second, senator nelson said 60 plus has got it all wrong. this front group. oh, yeah, we're a front group. we get our money from all these rich millionaires, we won't disclose it. they mentioned the koch brothers. we happen to agree with their philosophy. they agree with mine. the fact of the matter is, if george sorros gave me money, either one of two things have happened. i've either sold out or george sorros has seen the light and come over to our side. it's that simple. but the fact is again, running these ads, they say that we're distorting his record, senator nelson, when he voted, he said this would bring down the deficit. that's nonsense, of course. but i do want to refer you to a couple of quotes and i'll end on this note, where senator nelson said i was not the 60th vote, that wa

florida, 8.6%. iowa, 5.1%. michigan, 8.5%, nevada, way above the average, 11.6%. new hampshire, 5.0. north carolina, 9.4. significantly above the national average. and that's where the democratic convention be. ohio, 7.3. virginia, 5. and wisconsin, 6.8. krystal, as the obama campaign tries to navigate th map, do they emphasize going into the states where the unemployment is actually the highest? is that where they're going to need to focus the most? >> you know, the obama campaign, it's interesting has sketched out more of a state by state strategy. for example, in michigan to really tout the auto bailout and ohio as well. virginia, focus on local issues. i think they will navigate that on a sort of state-by-state basis, but we shouldn't get too caught up by the fact that in virginia, for example, the unemployment is quite low and in iowa, because so much of the economic focus is on a national level. so the trend line nationally is in some ways going to be more important i think than what's going on in the individual battleground states. you know, right now we've had this sort of sl

people living in the state of colorado, florida, iowa, michigan, nevada, new hampshire, new mexico, northnia, virginia, and wisconsin were polled. republican senator ron johnson is a romney campaign surrogate, also from the swing state of wisconsin. nice to see you. appreciate your time. not only that poll is new. there's also a poll that takes a look at -- it breaks down sort of the voters. and if you look at african-americans, no surprise, president obama is leading significantly. 92% to 1% for mitt romney. if you look at women, president obama is leading 52% to 39%. voters who are relatively young, 18 to 29, 52% to 35% for mitt romney. independents, a little bit more of a squeaker there. 40% to 36%. really technically neck and neck because there's a sampling error of plus or minus 6%. when you look at these polls in total, tell me what the strategy is to try to get, you know, a little more play on the map there. >> i think any american that's concerned about having a job or any american that's concerned about the mountain of debt that we heaped on the backs of our children and grandchi

florida. ohio. michigan. wisconsin. all of these states are places where people do not want the government in charge of that has killed. -- their health care. that is the battle cry. we did not plan on making 2012 a mandate on obamacare, but that is what we will do. we will put our own individual mandate. host: our first call comes from texas. jan on our line for democrats. go ahead. caller: thank you for taking my call. i agree that this is not the greatest health care reform, but i want to point out that in 1994, the republicans took over both house and senate and i would assume the supreme court was pretty right wing. those were two branches of government. in 2000, you took over all three. the medical care costs have gone up and up and up. the republican party did nothing. first of all, you keep calling it obamacare. all this money is going to insurance companies. i believe you has some investments in insurance or hmo's or something like that. i would be really careful -- i think people are very interested in differe

michigan, wisconsin, virginia, florida. all these states are doing better. and romney's going crazy trying to figure out how to shut up the governors for taking charge. they're running for re-election themselves and want to talk about how things are better. and he's saying be quiet. make it look like obama's going down the tubes. >> and i think that's the point you just made, congressman mcdermott. governor strickland, you've been governor of a state. you have governors that are seeking their own re-election, trying to show there is progress. and then you have headlines by these governors. ohio job message at odds with romney too. mcdonald concedes obama's stimulus plan. governor rick scott says florida's on track to create 700,000 jobs. these headlines help them in their state elections, but it does not line up with the national strategy of mitt romney to say this president has failed and i'm the only hope. >> well, reverend al, mitt romney's record as governor of massachusetts is nothing to brag about. as we've all heard, massachusetts was 47th in the nati
