for 2012 -- 2012, jeb bush. >> the name "bush"never comes up, except for jeb bush. >> i applaud his ability to lay low. >> i'm not talking about him, i am talking about romney. >> jeb bush was always considered, but for george ran successfully, the one who was the political star and all the policies have been everything. it cannot work out that way. >> if he had different last name, he would be the vice- presidential -- >> yes. >> he says, "im not interested." >> he left the door open. >> change his name. what about jeb ochocinco?

[laughter] >> i am reminded of the clinton senio." >> the consensus of the chattering classes is that it was undignified, up but we are all

why not handle it the way jeb bush said, hey, i would consider it. >> it is kind of refreshing. it is one that passes the smell test. but you don't hear it that often. i'm hard pressed to identify anyone on the usual suspect's list who flat out wouldn't give it consideration. i think they all would. i think that mitt romney is going to make his first rule, do no harm. i think sarah palin changed the rules that were now going to apply where you used to look for someone who would bring you a geographical or an id logical advantage. i think post palin, the first rule is pick somebody who won't embarrass you. >> i want to read what george will, the conservative commentator had to say about jeb bush. this is from our first read team. if jeb bush is to be romney's running made, it would mean in seven of the nine presidential elections, there would be a bush on the republican ticket. oxley we know the numbers here. but he goes on to say, and it gets hard to argue that we're not a tribal society at that point, a.b. >> well, i think that you're at a candidate that was the, considered the

a lot of people will be looking at jeb bush. he's trying to do damage control. he put out an eveil saying he's not going to be the vp nominee. put it to rest. >> all right. you'll be watching it all. jon karl. thank you. >> and george stephanopoulos will have much more reading between the lines first thing in the morning and the powerhouse "roundtable" and tomorrow morning includes keith op olbermann. >> and charles colson has died. with tremendous power, earning a reputation as master of dirty tricks. he ran the committee to re-election the president but was committed of crimes before the water gale burglarr gary ev happened. he continued his work as a powerful evangelical. he worked with inmates, calling time behind jail a great blessing. he was 83. >>> now to florida as george zimmerman is about to walk out. he was granted bail. he apologized to trayvon martin's parents. it was not well received. there was this, the photo said to show a wounded zimmerman on the night of the shooting. matt gutman with that image and three moments that could now define this cas

i would say jeb bush is probably the most important when you look ahead to the fall. bush is very well known nationally. he is also very well liked by independent voters. there is actually a poll out that shows if mitt romney picked jeb bush as his running mate, he would beat president obama. without him, he is tied or losing to president obama. a jeb bush endorsement is a big, big pickup for him when he look ahead to november. >> what about marco rubio? could that help him with the tea party? >> absolutely. he and paul ryan are both beloved by the tea party. marco rubio in particular is liked among the latino community. all three are important. rubio has only been in the senate for a year and a half. he is very important for the republican base, but when you look ahead to november, he doesn't have quite the broad support that somebody like jeb bush has. >> when you and i return next sunday to talk mrikdz, what will we be talking about in terms of newt gingrich? >> i want you to make a prediction, and we'll see what happens. >> the question will be whether newt -- thi

here is what jeb bush said. primary elections have been new england thirty-four states, and now is the time to unite and get behind romney. i am endorsing mitt romney for the parties nomination. he sounds like a prisoner of war. >> chris, and didn't do it -- did it in a statement and a tweet. no appearance with romney, nothing like that. you know. the one thing i would say about that, i haven't seen the full clip until now. we can rule out george as a potential vp for mitt romney, cross that off the list. one thing is important to remember here. this is not that dissimilar to '04 when john kerry had the head but not the heart. they disliked bush so much and they thought he was the best nominee. i think that is a lot of the thinking now. and kerry didn't lose because the base wasn't excited, they were excited about betting bush. i think romney will benefit from that. the base will never be in love with mitt romney, but they dislike barack obama to the extent that it may not matter. >> you're making a heroic effor

mitch daniels, jeb bush, marco rubio, and i'm seeing everyone come together.manchin is going to weigh into virginia because, we're right on the border there with west virginia. and believe me, he has a big impact down in coal country and areas of virginia where obama has really turned off moderate democrats and that's why -- >> ryan? >> i never criticize a politician when they say something honest, that's what we all want. and good for him, all of these other republican vice presidential candidates sucking up to mitt romney. it's nice to have mitch daniels saying what's on his mind. >> truth to power? >> a little bit. it's not always his reputation, but it's hard for me to criticize someone being honest. >> let's listen to jeb bush who has previously said he will not accept the vice presidential slot if offered. and now he says? >> well, i would consider it, but i doubt i'll get a call. and i don't know if it's the right thing for me to do. i think marco would be among many great candidates for vice president. i think marco's probably the best. >> my rule on p

. >> jeb bush, your meantor and colleague, says he really hopes that if mitt romney asks you to becomee president, that you'll say yes. >> i hope jeb will say yes. if future president romney asks him. >> he indicated he would look at it. >> that's good, because i think he would be a fantastic vice president. >> and guess what, we're still counting delegates for the gop nominati nomination, in case you have forgotten with all the talk of mitt romney finally being the presumptive nominee. in fact, romney won half of the 24 delegates at stake in missouri's regional republican conventions on saturday. a new gallup poll shows mitt romney leading president obama by one point nationally within the poll's margin of error. meanwhile, president obama will visit some key swing states this week. he's going to speak at universities in north carolina, iowa and colorado. acting on student loans. and joining me now, politics staff writer for "roll call" shira it up9ñuáó and cnbc political correspondent john harwood. good day to both of you. good to see you. john i'll reach out to you first, mitt romn

a lot of people will be looking at jeb bush. he's trying to do damage control. he put out an e-mail today saying he's not going to be the veep nominee. he said put it to rest. but, david, that won't be put to rest any more than marco rubio's speculation, not well. >> all right. you'll be watching it all. jon karl. thank you. >> and george stephanopoulos will have much more reading between the lines first thing in the morning on "this week" and the powerhouse "roundtable" and tomorrow morning includes keith olbermann. >>> we move on. to late word, a central figure in the watergate scandal has died. charles colson, has died. with tremendous power, earning a reputation as master of dirty tricks. he ran the committee to reelect the president, but was committed of crimes before the watergate burglary even happened. once out of prison, he continued his work as a powerful evangelical. he worked with inmates, calling his time behind bars, a great blessing. he was 80. >>> now to florida as george zimmerman is about to walk out. he was granted bail. he was granted bail af

he and jeb bush said is part of the argument.et's track what romney brings as experience as governor and someone in the business community. >> if he discusses to. yesterday it was taken notice on saturday night live. they go after mitt's ablgt to say yes to anybody that he's seeing. next on "hardball." it's very important to understand how math and science kind of makes the world work. in high school, i had a physics teacher by the name of mr. davies. he made physics more than theoretical, he made it real for me. we built a guitar, we did things with electronics and mother boards. that's where the interest in engineering came from. so now, as an engineer, i have a career that speaks to that passion. thank you, mr. davies. that's good morning, veggie style. hmmm. for half the calories plus veggie nutrition. could've had a v8. ttd#: 1-800-345-2550 let's talk about the cookie-cutter retirement advice ttd#: 1-800-345-2550 you get at some places. ttd#: 1-800-345-2550 they say you have to do this, have that, invest here ttd#: 1-800-345

jeb ochocinco? [laughter] >> what the spanishsh word f "bush"? >> >> what we said is simple.me to make schools more expensiveor our young peoplele. >> aw, yeah. [laughter] you suld listen to the president. or as i call him preezezy of the united steezy. >> preresident obama on "late night with jimmy fallon." "the wall street journal" says that the president is waging a brilliant campaign to win over incoming college freshmen. was this appropriate for the president? >> i am so close that i did not t it, but it says more about -- about s -- so clueless that i did not get it, but it says more about me. >> the consensus with the chattering classes is that it was undignified, and i think at is just the chattering classes. we are all old. i thought it was kind of funny. it was borderline, but i thought it was kind of funny, and it appealed to young people. >> old? my goodness. at cries of condescension to young people. i know the ad es not appeal to our demographic, was scratching my head away evavan -- the way evan was -- >> not an ad. >> it is s is one thing to play saxophone. i

that name is jeb bush. what is appealing and what is not about him? >> happy friday. you talk to democrats about who is giving mitt romney the biggest lift, they worry about jeb bush. they think he will not pick him but they could run -- they get help and education and with hispanics. he is more moderate on immigration. jonathan martin talked to a dozen people around the former florida governor and they say that for family reasons, he will not do it. his oldest son, who could run some day, has pushed him to do it. he will help the romney campaign. he will raise my. he says this is not his time. when they went -- when he says that and another official, marco rubio, says that that might be a little bit code for, i want to run on my own in 2016. >> and jeb bush is saying he will not be the vice president. is that correct? >> that is right. at the top of our list is senator robb portland. we have a couple of choices like mitt romney. people who will not overshadow him. mitch daniels. tempo antti -- tinmm pawlenty and paul ryan. he is catholic and younger. mitt romney will

it's only been four years since the last bush left and i think we can talk about the strengths that jeb bushould bring, he probably understands and democrats certainly understand if you have a bush on the ticket this year, that makes barack obama's job easier to remind people what he inherited. >> absolutely. this is a good year for vice presidential candidate who wants to be postured for 2016. a horrible year because they are probably not going to win but so jeb bush doesn't need it, he would be better off running clean in four years from now than he would taking the number two slot. >> susan, doesn't want it, doesn't need it, wouldn't take it? >> it's pretty customary, even for people campaigning to be vice president to say it's not a job they would take. you don't want to look too eager, if you don't get it, some of the things we're hearing about vice president we should take with a grain of salt. jeb bush knows better than almost any of these guys what is the cost is to running for national office and serving in national office. although he would be, he has to be a tantalizing choice. he

in politics, could you see former florida governor jeb bush as the republican vp pick? well, tonight he says he is thinking about it. and the neighborhood watch volunteer who admits killing an unarmed teenager speaks directly to that teenager's family: the shooter takes the stand and apologizes. >> i am sorry for the loss of your son. >> while today, 50 days later,. >> and a judge decides whether george zimmerman should go free. plus, new trouble for a secret service agent who lost his job after the hooker scandal. wait until you hear what he said about sarah palin. when he was watching her back. >> i hope his wife kicks his -- and sends him to the dog house. >> harris: and america's oldest ballpark celebrates a big birthday. >> babe ruth played here. ted williams played here. >> with a historic rematch. i'm harris faulkner in tonight for shepard smith. and we begin tonight with a dramatic day in court. as the man who admits he gunned down travvon martin faced the dead teenager's family and said he is sorry. that came as would learned about what the shooter told police

still not everybody's giving up hope on jeb bush running with romney. his oldest son, george p. bush, told politico, quote, it would be a phenomenal ticket, unquote. democrats fear another bush, should say? do you? go to cnn.com/caffertyfile and post a comment on my block or go to cnn's facebook page. >>> here's a question, do women make less money than men for doing the exact same work? the republican strategist and cnn contributor alex we asked lisa sylvester to do a fact check for us, lisa's who's right. >> we reached out to alex castiallana and he -- >> reporter: as an adjunct profess for sorry five years, lisa matt says she often saw on college campuses male professors being paid a lot more than their female colleagues. >> there's a gap between who gets tenure and who doesn't, there's a gap between who gets proo moated and who doesn't. >> she works with the american association for university women. she says full-time working women make 77 cents for every dollar earned by men. it's a common statistic, one now being charged by cnn contributor, alex castiallanos. >> women stil

. >> and jeb bush said he would answer the phone if the call game in.sh is too much bush dynasty to even be considered. he could probably help in florida. >> jeb bush could certainly still help in florida. and he would motivate conservatives. having said that, though jennifer, i may be the first person in the history of current tv to quote george will on air, but george will pointed out that should governor romney put governor bush on the ticket that would mean seven of the last nine presidential elections in this country had a bush on the ticket. >> yeah to quote jesse jackson, he would probably say get out the bushes. that is dan schnur. coming up alec loses another fortune 500 backer. but gains an important ally in congress. the details are next now let's hear yours. >>the war room needs your help. >>the only online forum with a direct line to jennifer granholm. >>our goal is to bring you behind the scenes with access to stories that you've never seen before. >>politicallydirect.com join the debate now. i look at her, and i just want to give her ever

let's take a watch. >> if jeb bush is to be romney's running mate, it would mean that in seven of nineresidential elections, there would be a bush on the republican ticket. and it gets hard to argue that we're not a tribal society at that point. >> what do you think of that? chuck, just too many -- another problem for jeb who i like is he would have to defend his brother's administration. and he'd be like a voodoo doll. anytime you said anything against w, he would have to defend him. whereas romney can skip and say, that's not my problem. >> i think it's a little bit of a negative for portman by the way is his service in the bush administration as budget director on the item they want to do. but on jeb, if you want to look at hispanic voters, i would make the argument that jeb bush could help romney more with hispanics than marco rubio. >> what do you think of that? >> i just think bush is the george will problem, it's too much bush. if you're going to go florida and hispanic, go rubio. and i don't think he's going to go there. >> let's talk about more interesting candidates. i'm look

one jeb bush. doesn't he get a turn on the dance floor? here ensues a bit of political do-see-do. >> i can't speak for governor romney and i can't speak for senator rubio. if i was on both sides of that conversation, i would ask and i would hope that marco would accept. >> that's very nice of jeb. i hope he'll say yes if future president romney asks hill. i think he would be a fantastic vice president. >> that's adorable. do you know what's not adorable? prostate cancer. that appears to be all that comes to mind for cancer survivor rudolph giuliani when he tries to say nice things about mitt romney. >> this reminds me of going to a surgeon, right? if i've got a terrible cancer or something to be operated on, when i had to be operated or for prostate cancer, i didn't go to the nicest doctor. i went to the best drx a doctor can have great jokes but put the knife in the wrong way. >> just how we want to think of ourselves. seriously ill patients in need of surgery. perhaps romney should switch his campaign slogan to, i want to be sedated. let

our reporting from jon karl showed that jeb bush could have been at top of mitt romney's list. prise for me and bush at first seemed to open the door to it. >> well, i would consider it, i doubt i would get a call and i don't know if it's the right thing for me to do. i didn't run for president for a similar kind of reason. >> he shut that down quickly. yesterday, saying it's not going to happen. he wants marco rubio. here's another surprise. marco rubio has consistency said that he would not be vice president. but listen to this. >> three, four, five, six seven years from now, if i do a good job as vice president -- i'm sorry. >> you guys all got that, right? >> as a senator. >> you all got that, right? >> if i do a good job as a senator instead of a vice president, i'll have a chance to do all sort of things. >> how about that for a freudian slip? he thinks that jeb bush is the right choice. >> if jeb bush were to be his running mate, in seven of nine presidential elections there will be a bush on the ticket. the fact, george, it's very hard to find an election other than 1960

he has always said that jeb bush would be a welcome member of any of ticket as well.for him here because he picks up the complete support of the republican national committee having put together today all 50 state chairman and their sort of expressed support in getting ready to take on obama. >> harris: another governor suggesting romney will have trouble with latino voters. what about that? >> you are talking about montana governor brian sweitzer asked yesterday by the daily beast what he thought about the romney possibility of courting immigrants in the 2012 election. and sweitzer said he thought that romney would like to be able to talk about the fact that his father was born in mexico but suggested he won't be able to do that because he was in a polygamy commune in mexico. i had an opportunity to talk to romney today. did he not take on schweitzer. did he dismiss the entire as historically inaccurate and misleading. >> my dad's dad was not a polygamist. i do think as we think about immigration policy. the policies that existed in 1905 and 1910 may not be highly re

marco rubio, he said he basically endorsed jeb bush. but it seems to me jeb bush really doesn't want to do it. right now i think it's 50/50 marco rubio. he has so much going for him as a vp contender. >> thanks so much. appreciate that. >> thanks for having me. >>> a name you often hear mentioned as a potential gop vice presidential pick, senator marco rubio, her pick. but today the florida republican actually endorsed somebody else for the vp slot. jeb bush. he said the former florida governor would make a fantastic vice president. rubio also revealed a side of himself that you don't hear a lot about. >> well, you know, i am a hip-hop fan, especially the '90s hip-hop. some of the newer stuff has changed. one of the things i've discovered is i'm a fan of nikki menage, who is one of the hip-hop artists today. but she's not only a rapper, she also sings in her album. and pit bull, that's an interesting name, but he's actually very talented. he was just involved in the sound track for "men in black." >> randomly, i do happen to know that.

not just for florida, but as you know, jeb bush speaks for a big swath of conservatives in the republicanarty. but governor romney's awkwardness even translates into some one-on-one calls. we were told that during his call, when he was supposed to be trying to get governor bush to endorse him, not only did he not directly ask him but he asked his advice on how to get the endorsement of senator marco rubio of florida. this would be like asking how to get the other girl to go to prom with you! >> exactly, that is so funny. one of the other things that i thought was so interesting, i don't know if you guys used this word, but i saw it in a story about what you guys wrote, that rick santorum was considered by others to be a jerk. >> well, we didn't use that word. [ laughter ] >> well, i saw it in a story, i couldn't believe that you would. but -- >> right. governor, you can certainly know -- i know you talk to people on capitol hill that he's known for being prickly, can we say that's maybe a middle ground. but one thing we picked up and report for the first time in "inside the circus" is he

former florida governor jeb bush doesn't think he's a possibility.n there's indiana governor mitch daniels. >> when william f buckley ran for mayor of new york, he said if he won, he would demand a recount. >>> the investigation into the secret service sex scandal in colombia continues to grow with some white house staffers involved. >> reporter: the secret service under scrutiny this past week, now a 12th agent has been put on leave. >> he is a problem. and he now equals the 12th problem among the 20 women, this individual, is a problem. >> reporter: on face the nation, senator lieberman said this agent was not staying at the now infamous hotel, but at the hilton, where president obama was going to stay. >> now we don't know at this point what that 12th agent is being charged with and why he's been put on administrative leave. but now you're into the hotel where the president of the united states was going to stay, and it just gets more troubling. >> reporter: many have asked if there is a pattern and culture of bad behavior. a former secret service
