jan, thanks. >>> we also want to bring in paul di john dickerson. as jan just laid out for us, the gloves have come off and romney on the offensive calling newt gingrich zany, but how is this tactic going to sit with voters? >> well, it's, it remains to be seen. the problem for mitt romney is that voters have not embraced him. there has been this tepid feeling about mitt romney all along and newt gingrich is taking these attacks in stride and kind of brushing them off saying he's trying to run a positive campaign. the key thing here is the time is drawing short before this iowa caucus. mitt romney is now saying that this is going to be a long nominating process, so, don't be concerned if things don't look great at the beginning. he's in it for the long hall. it looks like we'll also see tonight how many of these attacks he brings in this debate. >> it's not just mitt romney coming out hard against newt gingrich now. the national review coming out against him and other members of the republican establishment. did newt gingrich peak too early? >> well,

john dickerson. i've got to go to you first, jan. you were there yesterday when herman cain hung it up. i mean, did he really hang it up? he said he's suspending the campaign. >> no, it's over. i talked to cain and his wife gloria after the event yesterday. he said he had made the decision on his own before he got back to atlanta friday night, that he couldn't put his family through this, his wife through this anymore. gloria cain told me she would have supported him no matter what he decided. a part of her wanted him to stay in the race because she believes him. but the allegations of the harassment, the affair, it became too much. but you know, bob, the establishment never took cain seriously. but he tapped into something "real" with republican primary voters who think that america has serious problems. they say cain as the man with solutions who was not a part of washington and who had this inspiring message about america's greatness. out of all the candidates on the trail i've covered, no one could talk about america as the great shining city on the hill like herman cain. >> schieff

john dickerson, thanks. janrawford, nice to have you in the studio too. >>> trouble for florida a&m university. a hazing investigation has turned up more alleged wrongdoing. >> police are looking into a possible case of fraud. anna werner is live. >> reporter: the university won't comment on this but florida law enforcement officials tell cbs news the latest investigation is linked to financial irregularities and associated with a&m officials. the florida of law enforcement in a letter said its investigation into the death of drum major robert champion turned up new investigation. >> it's just a notification letter went out saying we are starting a second investigation. >> reporter: this marks the third investigation now under way into the school. on monday, tallahassee police charged three students in connection with the battery and hazing of a freshman band member. the drum's thigh bone was broken. >> she was beaten by hands, 50s, spatulas, metal rulers and book binders. >> reporter: bern stein says it was for

. >> and with us is also john dickerson, along with jan, our jan, when we look at the debate pher e, therehe, the bets, the 10,00 wh ich whicmitth mitt romney said one thing he doesn't do very pwel l,well, this is really backfiri big-time for him. phow how is the campaign dealing with that fallout? >> reporter: you saw romney talking about his wife ann and tried to make light of that mo mentmoment but, of course, what happened is this is what all of mentmoment but, of course, what happened is this is what all of the what the other opponents are talking about, has gotten him off his message a little bit. pin in iowa, in these caucuses, with these republicans, i don't think it's going to make much difference at all. i mean, they know romney is a rich guy. pthe y kntheyow know he made a lot oy before he went into public service. this will come as no surprise to phim .him. we have elected rich presidents h.w. bush but the problem of him psay ingsaying that it came across a everybody is wanting to talk about. >> meanwhile, i'm sure newt g gingrich doesn't mind they are if he is continuing

jan crawford in atlanta, thanks a lot. for more on the likely impact of cain's withdrawal, we are joined by cbs news political analyst john dickerson. what does cain's withdrawal or suspension of his campaign do for the republican race? >> what it means for mr. cain is he used the specific language "suspend." the difference between that and ending your campaign is when you suspend you can still get the federal matching fund. if he ended it he wouldn't be able to get those. what it means for the larger race, though, is that it's romney versus gingrich race with ron paul always out there, somebody you have to look to. but this solidifies ever more that it's a two-man race. >> mitchell: cain lost a lot of support in the last few weeks. however, he still had a lot of supporters out there. where are those folks likely to go? >> the cain voters who had been leaving him looked like they were pretty much going to newt gingrich, but the hard-core supporters who were left, those will be interesting. they liked cain because he was not a washington politician, not a member of the establishment. newt gingrich is both of those things.

discussion now with arizona republican governor, jan brewer discussioning her tenure in office and discusses her thoughts on illegal immigration. >> i'm john hiebush, and for those i have not met, there's a couple people here, i'm the executive director of the ronald reagan presidential foundation, and it's my pleasure to welcome all of you here this evening, and in honor of our men and

jan crawford, cbs news, columbus, ohio. >> we're going to talk about that and more now with our political director john dickerson. good morning to you. >> good morning, jeff. >> let's talk herman cain first. how long does the campaign survive if it survives? >> well, it's a very, very tough hill here for him to climb. the big worry for the cain campaign is money. can they keep the lights on and that's what he is assessing to do well in iowa. cost money to keep that organization going. so, it looks like it's day-by-day for cain and also what is at stake here, if he is thinking about leaving the race, what is his exit narrative. you can see him talking there about being attacked by the establishment and by liberals so that if he does have to drop out of the race, he could have a future career saying i tried to tell the truth, but the establishment and the liberals just came after me. >> john, you mentioned iowa. mitt romney wasn't going to play there at all after it tripped up his bid in 2008. he has the first ad out there. the blitz for romney. >> a bit of an open secret that romney is trying to run in iowa, but s

as jan mentioned all of the candidates are going after cain's supporters in iowa where the race has been wide open for months. >> political director john dickerson is in iowa and he joins us along with "time" magazine columnist joe klein who wrote "time "cover on mitt romney this week. the cover of the magazine says "why don't they like me "why is romney not the nominee? >> i can't do that. most people in iowa will change their minds twice between now and january 3rd. it's hard to predict these things. what we know is the vast majority of republicans have been dissatisfied with mitt romney from the very start. he has been stuck at about 25% and he is getting lower now. it's going to be difficult for him to get over the top. >> john, joe won't bite so let me ask you the opposite of that first question. what are the chances that newt gingrich is the nominee? >> i'm not going to bite either, jeff. joe taught me that. gingrich is having his moment. he is having it at the right time because there is a month left before the iowa caucuses. and he is running strong here in iowa and he has a great deal of baggage, as jan mentioned, in her piece

. >>> and as jan mentioned, all the candidates are going after cain supporters in iowa, where the race has been wide open for months. >> john dickerson is in des moines this morning, and he is joining us along with "time" magazine columnist joe klein, who wrote a cover story on mitt romney this week. good morning to both of you. joe, the cover story is called, why doesn't anybody like me, talking about mitt romney. at this point, 0 to 100, what are the chances mitt romney is not the nominee? >> oh, i can't do that. i mean, really. look, the campaign is just finally beginning now. most people in iowa are going to change their minds twice between now and january 3. it's really hard to predict these things. what we do know, though, is that the majority, the vast majority of republicans, have been dissatisfied with mitt romney from the very start. he's been stuck at about 25%. he's getting lower now. and it's going to be difficult for him to get over the top. >> john, joe won't bite. what are the chances newt gingrich ais the nominee? >> i'm not going to bite either, jeff. joe taught me that.
