and he ran against romney once and i think it's sort of tough for a giuliani to accept the fact thats not the nominee and somebody he personally doesn't like very much and doesn't think is a very good politician is the guy. there's some egos here at work too. >> you think there's some egos involved. >> imagine that. >> thank you so much, great to see you. thanks for joining us. >>> coming up next, delicate diplomat sit with china. the unprecedented showdown over the fate of a blinds chinese human rights activist. plus, defending human rights one step at a time. kerry kennedy and actress gloria reuben joining us next on and a "andrea mitchell reports." i needed a coach. our doctor was great, but with so many tough decisions i felt lost. unitedhealthcare offered us a specially trained rn who helped us weigh and understand all our options. for me cancer was as scary as a fastball is to some of these kids. but my coach had hit that pitch before. turning data into useful answers. we're 78,000 people looking out for 70 million americans. that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare. right? g

and it is not just giuliani.ot of others in the republican party saying on, they resigned to fact that romney won the nomination. they are willing to support him in public but i think you will see the pup party holding back and not coming forward. and enthusiastically supporting him. if they can't muster that in the weeks and months ahead, it is very difficult for romney to have enough votes to defeat the president? >> we are hearing bitterness in the romney camp about santorum who still hasn't endorsed today's the pennsylvania primary. reheard tonight they will meet in a week but there is still no immediate endorsement expected. as late as last week, one week before santorum dropped out of the week, mail came from santorum's camp that says it truly frightens know think what will happen if romney is the nominee. so he is still seeming to have problems even pulling his opponent together even after they drop out of race. >> i think there's truth to that reverend. i that i mail piece is probably win of those planned

remember back before the primaries when mayor rudy giuliani had this to say about mitt romney. >> heis position on so many things so fast, on a dime. pro choice, pro life. he was pro gun control. fine. then he becomes a lifetime member of the nra. he was pro mandate for the whole country. then he becomes anti-mandate and takes that page out of his book and republishes the book. i can go on and on. >> he had it right back then. today giuliani came around like all politicians, he adores romney and managed to take a shot at the admittedly more likeable president obama in the process. >> i think mitt has won fair and square. he's proven he is the most likely republican. if i got a terrible cancer or something to be operated on, when i was operated on for prostate cancer, i didn't go to the nicest doctor, i went to the best doctor. he could tell the best jokes but put the knife in the wrong way. >> put the knife in the wrong way? john huntsman is in the spotlight today for some comments he made at an event last night. huntsman talked about how he was disinvited from a fundraiser recently

giuliani, the former new york city mayor, himself ran for president back in 2008. >>> in this week'sef of "the daily beast" and "newsweek." she talks politics in the uk versus the u.s. we begin with what she calls the polypartisanship of her publications. >> a cover story was written in january where it says, why obama's critics are so dumb. that's when obama was being crashed by pretty much everybody. he carefully listed the achievements that obama has had on his watch and laid them out in a persuasive way. it really reframed the way people were thinking about obama during those three months of this year. so it's very important, i think, for a magazine, especially in this time when magazines have a much different role in our media, to take a counterintuitive point of view and say, okay, this is all the things that have been said, we're going to bring around a wholly different attack. >> if you were able to counsel president obama on his message, what would be the one that you would want him to carry? >> i think he has to focus on the economy and jobs. that is the only thing really t

biden was the only one capable on going toe to toe with people like giuliani. i remember one clip that went viral and he repeats something giuliani said that day and looks at the camera and says "seriously" and walks on. he's comfortable there and comfortable making the case for obama's foreign policy, particularly with the killing of bin laden and other element that is would be tougher for obama to make because it would look like bragging. >> why do they inject bin laden's death? >> they're trying to politicize an issue that's an american issue. >> phil, in all honesty, you can't tell me if we had a republican in office, on the one-year anniversary of the killing of bin laden, everybody wouldn't be trumpeting that as a major achievement. >> with a heaping spoonful of sarcasm there. >> in terms of foreign policy, i think more than the specific issues, what foreign policy does for obama -- this was a problem he had in 2008, it establishes him as fundamentally presidential. if you look what happened in terms of the bifurcation of the obama campaign, the west wing
