and now that the occupy movement is kind of in hibernation and by all accounts and reporting they arech of course is a presidential election year. and in 1968 the demonstrations were at the democratic convention, not really the republican convention. i wouldn't be surprised if something like that happens again this year. >>> let's talk about the runners up and they are all major players. but let's talk first of all about the person who came in second, admiral william mccraven. not well known, the leader of the seal team that got osama bin laden. >> right. it's a terrific story. and you learn stuff about him that you didn't know before. but he really is the secret master of special ops and so much of the way american warfare is fought in the 21st century. he is a pivotal figure in everything thwe do. he was the commander of seal team six and he set it up for the president to make the decision and go ahead and capture or kill osama bin laden. >> one of the most interesting quotes from this piece was that he told the president one of the things we made clear to the president and the nati

think about the romney campaign over the last week, that's what he's been doing after sitting in hibernation for six months as far as engaging other republican candidates directly. and romney is probably better for it today. newt is certainly not better for it today because i think he has taken the brunt of the attacks from mitt romney. and we've seen an appreciable decrease in his support in iowa and about three different polls now over the last four days. >> and we tease this story, michele bachmann is sounding extremely confident about her chances against romney. >> right, she's saying she's going to offer that final blow against mitt romney. we don't know what that would be be. even if she's going to throw her support to someone else, i don't think she could tip it. and she says she's not going to get out of the race. and there's no evidence whatsoever she's having a big effect in iowa. like a lot of us thought she might because of her ties to the evangelical christian community. the person who seems to be benefitting from that constituency in the last week or two is rick santorum who sp
