howard dean, i'm glad the economy is getting better. calling for the economy to get better. i'm watching the numbers, like a lot of people. i say great, god bless, free enterprise, but you have a clash of values, howard. this is where i'm going. it's not about just some economic stats. have you high tacks, low taxes, and debt and entitlement and taxing the rich versus opportunity. in other words, those value issues and others are going to play a big role. not just the economic stats. >> i agree with that, and i agree with michael that the election is not over, and it certainly isn't over because the economy is getting better. the problem is it may be over because of the social values. the republicans are looking like they're actually unfit to serve. 82% of women in america of child bearing age has used birth control at some point. the republicans look like they're crazy. limbaugh, who is basically a spokesman for the republican party -- i know they wish that wasn't so, but it's true -- calling a woman a slut because she -- her insurance

the first amendment he also brought up numerous times the hypocrisy the people like rudy giuliani howard dean fran townsend ed rendell can take money from the ne k. and yet because they're in positions of power the laws don't apply to them he it's not a matter of it's not a matter of whether you agree with the ruling or not or whether you believe that any case should be diluted or not it's a matter of principle here if this log says that are we all treated fairly under this justice system or not i mean stream media has been pretty complicit in completely ignoring the have pocker see in this case well having these ads play nonstop on our networks so it's been left to people like glenn greenwald the salon dot com that does at the center for american progress just to name two other examples to remind everybody they something just doesn't seem to fit so it's also not surprising that we haven't seen the mainstream media that plays these ads all the time and not mention that ed rendell former governor of pennsylvania and in fact an m.s. and you see contributor as being dell is being investigated by

go after others too and we feel example of made out of some of these people so now i doubt that howard dean or rudy giuliani are going to be given fifteen year sentences but a sign that elite immunity won't be upheld by this administration in all cases perhaps we will see that although of course there are plenty of other examples out there where they've allowed it to slide wall street being just the most obvious example but i do wonder if the mainstream media's going to cover these investigations at all the same way they cover political sex scandals the same way they beat the drums floor of the run the same way they fanned the flames of fear when it comes to investigations of support for terrorism when it comes from say a lone wolf twenty year old muslim living in the midwest of course not i predict that they're going to choose to miss. all right so let's continue talking about the fallout from the massacre of sixteen civilians in afghanistan legibly one a thirty eight year old u.s. army staff sergeant now all the name has still not been disclosed president obama promised a full investigati

megyn: howard dean, your former guy.y, lars, palin has come out and said this is absurd, she says i'm not running for any office but i'm more than happy to accept the dubious honor of being barack obama's enemy of the week and calls this a diversionary tactic to distract americans from the issues that are plaguing the president and his approval ratings thus far. do you agree? >> yeah, absolutely. it is a diversionary tactic and it's another thing. it's i think trying to play the race card. if you look at the way they've edited governor palin, god bless her, she's got to be one of the most popular commentators on the right, a lot of us end up with people thinking we're haters and all that. you can't say that about governor pa*eupbl. she's very, very popular, so they go after her and somehow by clever editing want to suggest that she's questioning things that might take us back before the civil war? what is the point of this, joe? i know it will probably raise money but raising money through sleazy editing shows how desper

i'm joined by george will, howard dean, matthew dowd of abc and donna brazile.rge, let's start out with that question, five wins in a row now for mitt romney, is this it? >> it's not it yet. but it's getting there. counting delegates, republicans have something akin to the superdelegates, 117 delegates from the republican national primary and a lion share of those will go to romney. i suggest that our viewers watch two things on tuesday night, first watch virginia, because there's no choice there except ron paul and romney, ron paul will be the vessel for all of the antiromney voters. the worst thing that could happen would be for santorum to win ohio and georgia and drop out. that's it one-on-one and all of the social conservatives would go to santorum. >> ohio is key for santorum. must-win for rick santorum. >> if rick santorum doesn't win ohio, this race for rick santorum is over. but the argument will be the nonnew mitt romney candidate is newt gingrich. he goes on. if he wins, he's not prepared to go out. who is the nonmitt romney is it rick santorum becaus

bob shrum and howard dean are here with the latest. >>> mitt romney drops a bomb on women. >> planned parenthood we'll get rid of that. >> a proposed law in arizona says bosses can fire women for taking birth control? katrina vanden heuvel will have reaction. >>> game on in wisconsin. the recall dates are set. now scott walker is complaining he doesn't get paid enough. >> my wife in some ways would love it if i went back to the private sector and made real money. >> john nichols has the latest. >> tonight, another "ed show" exclusive. >> professor ogletree took great pains to hide that. >> the man at the bogus theory, charles ogletree will tell us why he hid the tape of barack obama. >>> good to have you with us tonight, thanks for watching. there is only one thing keeping newt gingrich in the republican presidential race, it's ego. rick santorum pull off a six point win in alabama, a closer race in mississippi, but santorum, he won but never led in any mississippi polls. it was not a good night for mitt romney, who came in third in both states but it was a disaster for newt gingrich.

joining me is medical doctor and political chairman, howard dean. od morning to you. >> good morning, alex. >> governor dean, or doctor here, put your stethoscope on for a moment, a couple key questions for context, what are the critical elements of the health care and how does it affect the medical industry? >> from a doctor's perspective, the critical element of the health care is the guaranteed issue in community rating. that's the part that says you cannot turn patients away because they have a pre-existing condition and can't kick them off the insurance role, like some of them were doing, if you happen to get sick after you have health insurance. so that is the biggest and most important part. the second most important part is the expansion of medicaid. >> okay. now to the individual mandate here, which is in the law and mean that is we all have to buy some form of health insurance. is it also constitutional in terms of the sticking point? congress forcing people to buy something, could just that portion be struck down? >> well, that's the big q

howard dean and rahm emmanuel say, we are going to do everything we can to win those areas back. democrats made that call. that is why barack obama got a lot of swing votes in 2008. democrats figured out finally that they could not be a national party without winning read state america. i do not think the republican party has figured that out yet. if we lose maine and some other states, i think a lot more republicans are going to start speaking out against the more extreme elements out there. if that takes place it is going to happen because conservatives tried to hang their hat on the social issues and that is where they lost it. you would agree or disagree? >> a month ago i would have disagreed. today i do agree 100%. this past month has been the worst month for the republican party since august of 1974 when richard nixon resigned, and i mean that you're a good -- i mean that. we have allowed us to be a party defined by contraceptives. we are debating survey that should have been close in 1965. you have saying contraception is bad and he is going to use his presidential platfor

of the week's politics with our powerhouse roundtable, george will, matthew dowd, peggy noonan, howard dean and jeffery goldberg. and christiane amanpour. >>> good morning. could we finally be seeing a winning streak? coming off those two crucial wins in michigan and arizona, romney won again in washington state caucuses. ron paul edged out rick santorum for second place. but the biggest prize yet comes in two days, voters go to the polls in ten states for the super tuesday showdown. 437 delegates at stake. can mitt romney win enough to finally pull away? will one of his rivals upend the race again? our headliner hopes to be the one, former house speaker newt gingrich joins us now. good morning, mr. speaker. >> good morning. >> glad to have you back. five wins in a row now for mitt romney. in the eight last contests you have done no better than third. you're well back in the delegate race. even if you win home state of georgia, on tuesday night, how can you put together a viable path at the nomination? >> twice in this process i have been the front-runner in national polling. i think we hav

but he still has to push forward to bring that base along with him. >> professor howard dean, what did you think of romney's attack on professor barack obama? >> i don't think anybody pays any attention to that stuff. >> i was watching. >> i'm sure you were watching with great attention. i'm sure the american people did not. it's kind of like whatever the remark the consultant made about etch a sketch. nobody is going to vote on that kind of stuff. look, i think it's game on. romney's almost got the nomination put away. i think probably santorum will win louisiana, which will cause another speed bump. but i think romney, as i have all along, romney is going to get the nomination. and then he's got a lot of work to do. there has been enormous damage done to the republican brand in this primary. he is down to 6-1 among hispanics. he is down 20 points among women. you can't win the presidency if either of those holds up. but now romney is going to have a chance to start to consolidate his base. if it happens as a result of last night, which was a very good night for mitt romney, then i th

do you remember four years ago howard dean and chris dodd, two former chairmen of the dnc, were saying in headline after headline, look-- and i've got them all here in front of me-- that the democratic process is killing our chances. our nominee won't be worth anything because hillary clinton and barack obama are fighting each other tooth and nail. guess what, a tough primary, a little bit of drama actually helped barack obama. now we're suffering the consequences of that. >> schieffer: and others have said that. but john mccain is the only republican i've heard to say on camera what some other republicans have said to me off camera. that is, the longer this thing goes on, the harder it's going to be for us to win. >> i love john mccain, but john mccain's old former advisors during the '08 race were also saying that the democratic race is helping john mccain. look what happened four years ago. we put america to sleep with our... with our primary four years ago. barack obama and hillary clinton nearly gouged each other's eyes out. what happened? he won. look at all those governors from

i think that howard dean is just doing his job. >> okay.ama administration, how prepared do you think they are already for the general election at this stage of the game. >> well, you can already see it by looking at where president obama travels. there's a reason he goes to ohio and there is a reason he visits florida and these are states where he needs to start getting his message across. to start getting his message across. this is a campaign that isn't taking any votes for granted. because they know the country is so evenly divided that they're going to have to fight very, very hard. so they're incredibly organized. >> can i ask if there's any a reason why they're in north carolina, charlotte for the convention. is it going to be one of these pivotal states? >> absolutely. one north carolina last time. he doesn't want to give it up to time. if they can win in north carolina they can win the general election. >> okay. megan, jill, erin. stand by. up next, the land of lincoln is up for grabs. who is going to take it? we spring forward wit
