i think particularly probably kristina she is so young. know, she would have been 10 in november -- september. he was saying really that it's hard to reconcile what happened. you have been able to get to that point? i mean you know when you first discovered your daughter was dead was told did they get the person that did this? >> yes. >> and did it give you any kind of comfort that they had? >> it definitely did. i don't know how people say like natalie hallway's parents cope with not knowing. we knew exactly what happened to our daughter. it was tragic. and, you know, we're still dealing with that today. but, again, our faith and our family and friends kind of got us through, you know, coping with the issues of losing a child. >> it's incredibly powerful the book. i commend people to read it. what was it like for you to be involved in the writing of it? was it cathartic in a sense? >> it was very difficult. there was a lot of dark days and hard moments and a lot of times i was just -- i can't do this anymore. it's too painful. >> is it ha

. >> thanks, judy and now we are back to stuart rothenberg and kristina bellatoni. >> we are now up to 26 percent of the vote, that is the news, more amazing thing is we still have so few -- we still have this dead heat between romney, santorum and paul, take a look at that. >> what do you make of it, stu? >> it is going to be tight and tight all night, i mean, when you have this chunk of the vote in and what we have seen from the entrance polls it looks like photo finish, this is a kentucky derby, i don't know, somebody is going to win by a nose but in politics it is not quite that clear-cut. and the fact that we have three contenders who are seemingly headed for the finish line at the same time, i think that probably makes it worse for the people who aren't close behind at their heels because if you add those numbers up, we talk about 70 percent of the vote right there, if my math is pretty close. >> yes. >> and, you know, they are not much left for the rest of the field. >> we have a few more votes since you started talking, still a dead heat, kristina. >> yes when you drill down on

of what we are learning so far tonight, joining me here in washington is stuart rothenberg, and kristina bellatoni, the news hour political editor, we as i said don't have any results yet what we have is access to demographic information gathered by some news organizations who did what they call entrance polling, a is talking to poehlers as they arrived at the caucus sites and asking them about themselves, we cannot say who is ahead or behind what, but we can say who is voting and let's take a look at some of what we know today. some of the voters, the ones who showed up, some of whom judy saw who decided that today for the first time i think i will go and vote for someone, i never participated in a caucus before, who are they coming out for? >> it looks like they are disproportionately supporting senator rick santorum, that is not a surprise, the des moines register poll talked about late deciders going toward former senator santorum and he was surging and he is in fact these late deciders are going his way, it would fit with some of the recent speculation. >> kristine, that has almost

joining me in washington is stewart rothenberg, ed for of the rothenberg political report and kristina bellantoni, the news hour political editor. so not to rain on mitt romney's parade, he is a winner in new hampshire, stu, but he won 36, 37, the latest votes with 47 percent of the precincts reporting what about the other percent, not to put too fine of a point on it but if he is such a strong frontrunner the party what does he still have to do? >> well, just the kind of groups that he lost or didn't do as well with, ron paul, won younger voters, lower income voters, first time voters who are in the republican primary, a lot of these are independents and a lot are democrat leaning independents, john huntsman self identified democrats, four percent are independents but they do identify. >> a small number. >> yes. ron paul people with no religion. so, you know, there are constituencies in this primary that are not in the sweet spot of the republican party, and, look, judy a lot is personal, john huntsman was up there campaigning for months, meeting people, huntsman is the kind of candid
