is important to "the huffington post" was -- "huffington post" but most important it's a key aspect for the future. the third thing is brands matter a lot and coming from silicon valley give no working in technology and doing that for the last 15 or 20 years, one of the reasons google was, i did not believe that everything was going to be user-generated and the rams aren't going to matter in the information space and i saw people retreating from some of the major brands around information and decreasing investments. i think brands are going to be more important in the future. i think brands are the way the people navigate their lives and the research that we have looked at recently points to the fact that the majority of users on the internet today use less than 30 sites and about 50% of people use around 10 to 14 sites. if you think about that from a macrostandpoint, as the internet is exploding people are starting to use brands to navigate where they give information and how they get information and i get this question from investors a lot. what is the big focus on brand and it seems

bought in collaboration with "the huffington post." yesterday we dissected the "b" in bought and the price we all pay not just through lack of investment in our country, but also through atm fees. today we are moving on to the "o" in oil. it's about the energy sector and finding power in money by breaching the integrity of our free market and preying on fear. whether it's through the subsidy process or the transfer of environmental damage for a country that proclaims a desire for free markets, i can't think of a product that has a more rigged price. >> they are coming at it from both ways. they pay no cost for the incredible amount of pollution and damage they do to the environment. for the way they skew our national security policy. on the other hand, we're subsidizing them. they have managed to get congress not just to consider a carbon tax, but to actually consider rolling back some of the subsidies. rolling back the subsidies impossible as well. >> the united republic said the problem is a $1.9 trillion we're all spending. it's hal

and eleven let's take a look at this from a different perspective a daily perspective to the huffington post is found through a freedom of information act requests that ice is responsible for holding thirty two thousand people in immigration detention without any charges on a single day and that was october third of two thousand and eleven now amongst those who were arrested forty percent were convicted of any crime nor awaiting a trial the rest were there for low level offenses like duis or minor drug charges and only a few of them were actually accused of violent crimes to having imposed does make a good point here that being an undocumented immigrant is on its head a civil offense and not a criminal one meant immediately with the punishment of spending time behind bars so why are so many of these immigrants actually ending up in jail we see it all comes down to money private prisons that make a killing off of undocumented immigrants because they can hold them in their prisons allowing the detention centers to meet their financial goals and a statement of as you see the corrections corpora

we're book with our panel of msnbc political analysts, howard fineman of "the huffington post," eugenele, former chairman of the national republican committee. let's play pundit now, pure pundit, without any attitude. which is just picking this thing. what do you see in the numbers, howard? >> what i see in the numbers is santorum coming on strong, ron paul having a lot of enthusiasm out there, and mitt romney trying to hang on, having allowed expectations to get a little bit out of hand here. now he needs a win. and i think it's going to be very close, down to the wire. but the two have the energy, the genuine energy and the genuine momentum are santorum and paul. >> gene? >> i see the santorum surge. i think he's peaking at the right time. the numbers also show that iz supporters are more likely -- say they're more likely to actually go out and caucus tomorrow than romney's do. >> yeah, 76% say they're actually going to -- and this is cold weather out here, like it is in a lot of places. windy too. very windy. does the bad weather affect iowans. >> this is nothing. this is warm. this

john heilemann, nbc news' andrea mitchell, the "washington post"'s nia-malika henderson and "the huffington post"'s howard fineman. if mitt romney wins in new hampshire, this would be the first time a republican has ever won the first two, iowa and new hampshire. but he still can't win those who call themselves very conservative. just 14% of them voted for him in iowa. that enthusiasm gap is a young problem for republicans this fall. they're asking themselves what would it look like if the republican convention come tampa time with the more moderate romney accepting the nomination? would republicans by rallying around him or dying inside? howard, that's the question. what would it feel like for a mostly tea party, conservative republican party, angry at obime with all kinds of attitude and gut feeling to put a guy like mitt romney on the stage who's so cool and unseemingly conservative? >> first of all, never would victory seem more boring. second, a lot of diplomacy would take place before the convention. if mitt romney wraps this up fairly early you'll be seeing diplomatic missions to the tea
