everybody at fox is real mad about this herman cain joke.didate herman cain offers real solutions to fictional issues. >> don't try to pass a 2,700 page bill. you and i didn't have time to read it. we're too busy trying to live, send our kids to school. that's why i'm going to only allow small bills, three pages. you'd have time to read that one over the dinner table. >> >> jon: bills will be three pages. if i am president, treaties will have to fit on the back of a cereal box. from now on the state of the union address will be delivered in the form of a fortune cookie. i am herman cain, and i do not like to read. now, they thought that was an offensive joke. they thought that was offensive amos and andy brogue and their news guys would be fired if they did a voice like that, although, i did get into that story using a wheel with a dildo nailed it to, which i would imagine would likely get them fired, as well. [laughter] i just don't see them using a dildo wheel. the point is this: they felt i was singling out herman cain using offensive voi

is black and i hate muslims because herman cain won't put it in the cabinet i'm sorry but we cover so many of the. movements they definitely have racist undertones and then i think what is going on are the koch brothers behind this are something that just seems too weird and when you go i mean i did not use an in-depth reporting on this but when you google it there are times i. i mean herman cain clearly has a questionable stance on the muslim issue although he's walked that back tremendously and tried to get somebody to try to walk it back and say i didn't say that i would absolutely hire anyone who is muslim and put them in my cabinet just that i might think twice about it was the one williams like well i just makes me a little nervous about that and i did well i mean he's you know he said that he would hire any muslims who practice sharia law but all muslims practice sharia law you know you get in kind of a catch twenty two situation there but you know i just i can't help but feel little bit of love for herman cain the underdog even though he is a crazy total out there bigot jus

now sarah palin gets a fancy buzz herman cain as a zone trade i kind of like the better of you guys i find this whole thing really endearing and it can i have it up i think about the little engine that could because herman cain you know he's the underdog doesn't have a whole lot of money and the production value of this thing is a little bit if you know it's him paul and you know michael bay produced you know it's simple and yet for sure but the it's just so endearing you know he's out there talking to the people they're saying he's going to raise cain they've got the little footage of the train going by but a curious thing in there my colleague leif who is no ally of herman cain makes like a twenty second cameo in there i'm not really sure what the purpose of that is i don't even see if i missed of yeah he's just you know talking just just talking about obama normal constituent that herman cain hopes to get the vote in the g.o.p. . you cite something which i have picked up on and i feel like there's all these simple little messages or not so simple no like through the whole thing you

we've seen newt gingrich already speak, herman cain and other candidates. also rick santorum will be there. also michele bachmann. we're expecting her in just about an hour. we're going to dip into that. she's gained a lot of steam since the cnn debate earlier this week. a lot of people gave her high marks for her performance there. when she steps to the podium, we will take her live as well. >>> meanwhile, the violence escalating in syria, more people literally running for their lives. and today, many of them who have run for their lives got a visit from angelina jolie. she is at the border, and cnn's

herman cain, thanks very much for coming in. >> i will be there.much. herman cain wants to be president of the united states. >>> let's get more on that breaking news. horrific story coming out of texas now. lot of bodies have been found in a grave, including a lot of children. lisa sylvester has an update for us. >> reporter: this is looking tore a very troubling and chilling story. cnn has now confirmed that at least, at least, 20 bodies have been found in a home. we are being told there are children involved. officials obtained a certain much warrant to search the property. the fbi has been called in. but at this point what we know, wolf, at least 20 bodies have been found involving children at this home in harden, texas. >> we will stay on top of it. thanks very much. >>> other news we are following, including a new white house shake-up on president obama's economic team. coming in a rather critical moment 2349 recovery. our senior political analyst david gergen is standing by for that. >>> it is not the raciest picture congressman weiner sent

with endless possibilities. >>> businessman herman cain is perhaps so far the biggest surprise of theal race. just in week a quinnipiac nationwide poll of republicans puts mr. cane in third place behind mitt romney and sarah palin. he'll be with us for our cnn exclusive debate monday night and joins me live from atlanta. mr. cain, congratulations on your success so far. now as you step on to the stage in the debate, you'll have more people watching you, what do you see as your biggest test to prove you belong with the professional politicians, with the big guys monday night? >> i think the biggest test is going to be how i answer the questions in terms of my common sense solutions that i have been talking about around the country in new hampshire, our and other states. so the biggest test is going to be able to live up to expectations relative to what i did in that first debate. but i'm looking forward to it. >> we're looking forward to having you. and you mentioned answering the questions, the biggest question as you well know, sir, one of the reasons you're in this race is the econo

the one to look out for is herman cain. he is catching fire. you know, it doesn't matter where i am in the country, from the coasts to the middle of the country, people are saying i like herman cain. he says it with passion and has the energy that's contagious for a lot of people. and i bet he'll pop. >> when it comes to conservatives, when it comes to the republican party, you know, the only two people who are different are women, michele bachmann and then sarah palin. then you have herman cain, an african-american, catching fire. >> and a businessman with a political background. >> it seems like people sort of have more genuine like for him than they have $. >> he's a radio guy. he has experience in the straight-talk kind of way. he hasn't held elective office in the way when you run for office you are scripted because you had problems when you were unscripted. >> we'll talk after the break because i want to talk to you about rick santorum. i had an interesting conversation with him and will play it at 7:00 because he's controversial when it

and i learned that herman cain likes deep dish pizza. and besides being a hard-core johnny cash fan, the world found out that i have christmas with elvis on my ipod. but you have to tell a little secret, you are not going to tell anyone? but i have to tell you, i was a little nervous and i didn't know if they were going to ask boxers or briefs. you know a girl never knows. but the debate i think did bring three things out in new hampshire that were very important. and the first is. this in contrast to the current administration, what we saw on the stage in new hampshire were leaders. people who could lead this country. and our parties showed very well, i think in that debate. and it was a real honor for me to be able to announce that night, that i had filed my paperwork to seek the office of the presidency of the united states of america. the greatest country the world has ever seen. during the brief years i feel that my job is to bring the voice of the people in the halls of congress. and politicians started to pay attention to your voi

respect,illy, whom i said that herman cain does not have a chance. [booing] do not get crazy, y'all. [laughter] karl rove, who did a great job for president bush, does not take my presidency seriously. one of my favorites disappointed me when he did not take my candidacy seriously. mr. charles crowd hammer. well, to mr. a riley, to mr. rove, i did not get the memo that i was not supposed to run. [applause] i am running. i am running. and the reason that i am running is because this nation has become a nation of crises. we have a moral crisis, we have an economic crisis, we have an entitlement-spending crisis, we have an energy crisis, we have an immigration crisis, and most of all, we have a deficiency of leadership crisis in the white house and we ought to change it. [applause] i did not get the memo. one of the reasons that i have been inspired to answer this call has been because the american people that i have talked to and the ones that i have listened to are tired of this national nightmare we are on right now. this economy is not growing. we h

herman cain has fired up his liberal burning oven. they love him in new hampshire, but iowa republicans have eyes on cain, too, and not just because before they recognized him they were about to call security. [laughter] yesterday... yesterday cain wowed an iowa crowd by calling obama care a drain on our nation's resources and on our printer to toner. jim? >> don't try to pass a 2,700-page bill. and even they didn't read it. that's why i'm going to only allow small bills. three pages. >> stephen: yeah, three pages. why did overhauling a $2.5 trillion industry and ensuring that every american has access to affordable health care have to be so complicated? it's not rocket science. oh, and incidentally, rocket scientists, your proposal for the mars mission, keep it short. [laughter] mostly pictures. and folks, when it comes to health care, i say we should listen to the man who made his fortune selling bacon cheeseburger pizza. americans don't have time to read complex legislation. they're too busy getting their hearts restarted. presiden

. >> reporter: but these candidates and others, including jon huntsman, newt gingrich, and herman cain -- ♪ coming to town like a hurricane ♪ ♪ herman cain -- all have failed to seriously challenge romney's shaky front-runner status. >> do i think i can win iowa? can i win iowa? [ applause ] >> the front-runner is in the mid teens in a lot of these polls and you would think a front-runner should be further ahead by this point. >> reporter: the field of non-candidates still pondering is no less crowded. there's wisconsin congressman paul ryan. he says he's 95% certain he will not run. texas governor rick perry, who said last week he's now thinking about it again. and new jersey governor chris christie, who tonight is hosting a dinner for iowa republicans, who are trying to get him in the race. >> there's a huge vacuum somebody's going to fill, particularly that social vacuum. >> reporter: that dinner of palin and trump is not the most important political dinner tonight. it is what's going on in new jersey, brian, with chris christie. his wife's at the dinner. this is a big deal. iowans

there is an article on herman cain calling him the cain-do candidate. back to the phones.ort bragg, north carolina on a line for democrats. caller: i am sorry to say, but republicans have no choice. herman cain really has no choice. romney is the choice. i wish that donald trump would have stayed in. with the economy staying in, who wants to hear someone talk about how much money they make when they want to be president? he had ample time and he will be back. host: we want to remind our listeners and viewers that when you start talking, make sure that you turn down the volume on your television or radio. george zornick, are you starting to get a feel from the obama administration and campaign as to who they would like to run against? guest: they have not telegraphed it very clearly. i assumed they would like to run against michele bachmann or someone unpalatable to many voters. what they are most scared of, you hear people saying he is boring, he is bland. but if you look at the polls, the candidate that does the best is generic republican. obama has been hot in office and

joining me now from new york is republican presidential candidate herman cain. welcome, mr. cain, to the program. i want to ask you about this. the des moines iowa register did their first republican poll over the weekend. mitt romney and michele bachmann topped the poll and you finished a very strong third there with 10%. to what do you owe your success in the iowa poll, do you think, and other recent polls like it? >> well, i think it's because i have been to iowa now 21 times since the beginning of the year. secondly, my common sense message about common sense solutions to america's problems is resonating with people. and the second thing that i think is resonating is the fact that i have never held public office but they are -- people are being drawn to my problem-solving experience from over 42 years in business, because any successful business person will tell you that it starts with working on the right problems, surrounding yourself with good people, and also then putting together the right plans in order to execute. and if you look at my track record, at burger king,

poll that came out is that mitt romney's in first place michele bachmann's in second place and herman cain is actually in third place so that doesn't look so good for the gingrich's and paul end of the santorum. now last i just want to get your opinion we don't have time to play the clips but yesterday i said he devoted their resources doing a hardcore investigation as to why newt gingrich's staff quit and they decided it was because of his wife because she had to get her hair done in the morning so they they couldn't get the plane to fly out there she is right there with her with her deal on that are you going to impersonate maybe calista gingrich next. if. you know . bachmann is that these laser college you sinful like you know i think it's actually made of the inside i think she might actually be a creature from another dimension and is created entirely of ice and snow i don't know if i could get all this down but frankly i don't know ouch well i think newt's going to ask you to issue an apology just like you did with. sarah thanks so much for coming on the show is a pleasure to have yo

herman cain 10%. big gap between romney and the rest. there's a lot of time. does he get the kick-me sign tonight? >> definitely. look. it's his to lose and everyone else has to stand out tonight and introduce themselves. it is a bit of a debutante ball for the rest of them and make sure they know the homecoming queen ain't exactly what they think they are. 45% of republican voters say health care reform is a leading issue for them. it's fair game. >> it is an interesting way the campaign works out though. iowa tends to be where social conservative issues are more prominent. here in new hampshire not only do you have a more libertarian history than tradition, independents can also come in and vote in the primary. these candidates in trying to appeal to the new hampshire electorate tonight also have to remember around the country a lot of people are seeing them for the first time. >> as important as new hampshire is, people all over the country are going to be watching in south carolina, iowa, florida, and all the early -- michigan. they're going to be watching

she made herman cain fade into the woodwork.questions are, number one, can she win the primary and, number two, can very win the general election. it is said the republican establishment doesn't love michelle bachmann. she needs the republican establishment to win the nomination. as far as the general election goes, avalon says bachmann needs independents to win and despite her charm, her views are too conservative to many americans. she has said god encouraged her to run for higher office and that government should be limited only to what is in the constitution and i know, kyra, are you intrigued by her foster children. i know you are. >> i know that everybody is talking about, you know, how she came out, this fascinating star last night. what caught my attention, i had no idea, we knew she had five kids but 23 foster kids. and it's all of this that actually inspired her to get into politics. >> that's right. she actually mentioned that fact three times during the debate last night and the 23 foster kids did inspire her to get

herman cain saying he doesn't believe in sharia law.o a comment he made about muslims in his cabinet and he said sharia law has influenced court decisions in oklahoma and new jersey. new jersey there was an incident that was appealed and repealed on appeal in 2010. voters in oklahoma did ban judges from relying on sharia law when deciding cases but it was a pre-emptive move. not based on a judge doing it or muslims in oklahoma intending to institute sharia law. in new jersey in 2009, a judge refused to give a woman a restraining order because of her husband's muslim belief. that was overturned later. we want do look at dial testing to see in realtime, viewers reactions to tonight. tom foreman joins me from rochester, new hampshire. >> hi, anderson. we've had a fantastic evening with a group of republicans and independents. some with tea party leanings. the first thing ta that produced a big spike as you watch the results. the red is republicans. the yellow is independents, cain when it came to right to work laws. there's been a big figh

poll that came out is that mitt romney is in first place michele bachmann's in second place and herman cain is actually in third place so that doesn't look so good for the gingrich's and paul n.d.s. and the santorum is the by now last i just want to get your opinion where you would have time to play the clips but yesterday i said b.c. devoted their resources to doing a hardcore investigation as to why newt gingrich a staff quit and they decided it was because of his wife calista because she had to get her hair done in the mornings. they could not get the plane to to to fly out there she is right there with her what's her deal on that are you going to impersonate maybe calista gingrich next. if only you know that he'll end bachmann is that these lasers are full of your sinful life you know calista i think is actually made of ice on the inside i think that she might actually be a creature from another dimension that is created entirely of ice and snow i don't know if i could get coolest it down quite frankly i wanna ouch well i think that new is going to ask you to issue an apology just like

guest: herman cain had a bit of a buzz after the first debate. he is scoring well in polls relative to some other candidates who are more conventional. but the view on him, because he never held elective office and he is not completely conversant on all the issues yet that he really is a long lost all of his senior staff and most recently has fundraisers quit. if you like his views, they are not much -- there is not much there there anymore. in the iowa poll, he kept my headf tim pawlenti very that must be very ahead -- very distressing for tim pawlenti who worked very hard and done all the right things in terms of organizing and visiting iowa all the time and yet he is not registering in a serious way. host: in 2007, in the summer, barack obama was behind significantly against hillary clinton. his campaign really did not begin to catch fire until ptember and october. guest: at right, all of this task to have a big caveat which is that it is way too early. you can see the seeds of potential there. you can already see the charisma and the attentio

so he'll have a little competition in that corridor. >> you mentioned herman cain. herman cain.> reporter: herman cain. he is entertaining. he will come out of tonight with a lot of people who didn't know him talking about him. the rap on him is that he's a guy voters overwhelmingly think communicating effectively, says a message that makes sense, people tend to like him. i think that he will probably unless there's a big stumble have a lot of new fans tomorrow. >> two more. former u.s. senator rick santorum from the state of p.a. who is he? >> reporter: santorum, he was a former u.s. senator. and his main message is about social issues. he also talks about the fiscal issue. but his area of comfort and what makes him unique is his focus on issues like abortion, issues like gay marriage. to the extent he can draw the conversation to his comfort zone, he will stand out. >> finally, the soul woman, not declared as you well know, michele bachmann. what does chshe have to do? >> reporter: for her the challenge will be to show she can hold her own up there by staying off -- she's goin

and herman cain is beginning to gain some traction. guys, thanks very much. i want you to listen to what tim pawlenty, the former minnesota governor said about mitt romney yesterday on tv. listen to this. >> you don't have to take my word for it. president obama said he drafted his obamacare after romney care. so now we have obamneycare. what i don't understand is they both continue to defend it. >> it wasn't exactly a slam, but for tim pawlenty, it was a biting comment. >> yeah. i think it was a slam. 59 mitt romney. it's clear that pawlenty has made a decision he's going to take on romney and try to make this a two-man race. i'm not so sure that's a great idea. i think it's a little early on to try to do that. right now, pawlenty is everybody's second choice. maybe he ought to remain that for a while. he has to do it without being disliked. so we'll see how he does tonight. >> but the knock on pawlenty is he's very vanilla or doesn't stand out in a crowd. he's in a position where he's thrown out this catchy word. he doesn't have to be on the attack. he just

>> i actually think newt gingrich gave a better answer than herman cain. i took over herman's radio show in atlanta, but there were a lot of phone calls even from die hard herman fans scratching their head, like they knew obama and pawlenty would come up. newt gingrich gave a better response for him on this. it is not going to hurt him in the republican primary. heck, state of oklahoma passed a statewide referendum on sharia law. doesn't hurt republicans, but it is an off topic issue when jobs are out there. >> you say jobs. i want to get one more in here. several more candidates making their case against the democratic incumbent. >> this president has failed, and he's failed at a time when the american people counted on him to create jobs and get the economy going. >> this president is a declinist. >> the obama administration is anti-jobs, anti-business, anti-american energy, destructive force. >> you're all here saying the president of the united states is making the economy worse. has he done one thing, one thing right when it comes to the economy in thi

. >> herman cain, has the highest voter intensity rating.ave to do tonight to keep the big mo? >> keep his mo going, keep his juice flowing. you know, he's the showman in the group. he has to do as well as he did in south carolina in the fox debate and keep people smiling. but the truth is your shouldn't rule him out because he's got legs in new hampshire. >> yeah. >> he could be the dark horse. he could be the person that emerges as the conservative alternative to romney and then two african-american candidates conceivably which would make for a very interesting story line. >> it would make for history, that's no question about that. jennifer donahue, thank you so much. nice to see you. talking to you later throughout date. >>> kiran, back to you. it's chilly, but very exciting. everyone is very excited today as this -- the countdown gets started for this big debate tonight. >> we'll be watching 8:00. a late night but an interesting one. thanks. >>> opposition forces in libya claim they have a copy of moammar gadhafi's top secret battle pla

the same thing for herman cain. the former ceo of god father's pizza. also a radio talk show host. very popular among tea party activists. not well known among mainstream and other republicans. here's another chance for him to say why he's qualified to be president. i think you'll hear herman cain probably talk about his business pedigree as well in the financial world. >> all these candidates are going to have to show they present the best alternative when it comes to the economy and creating job growth. rick santorum, what's going to be his challenge? >> reporter: it's interesting on rick santorum. that's not one of the things he's been emphasizing. the former two-term senator from pennsylvania is beloved by social con serbtives because of his stances on gay marriage and abortion. there are very influential voters in the race for the white house but he's not very well known among all republicans. here's arn an attempt or opportunity for rick santorum to reach out to a national audience of republicans and others and independents and even democrats to tell about his proposals, his
