san francisco is often known for being a large city, in this case, we have a unique history with the death penalty. during his reelection campaign of 1999, terrence hallohan said that they would not seek the death penalty for any offense in san francisco. he was reelected by a close margin a few years later, and she took the position that she would not bring any death penalty case. and she was reelected with the same conditions as part of the reelection campaign. harris was elected to be the state of the new general, and gavin newsom elected george gascon to be the district attorney. when asked his position on the death penaltiy, hy, he said he wouldn't rule it out. this raised a lot of concern among opponents of the death penalty who thought this would be a step backward. he has written against the death penalty, and adheres to san francisco values. san francisco has not had a jury return a death verdict since 1989, which was 10 years before he said his office would not seek the death penalty. we thought this particular issue wanted a discussion and we are pleased to have a palace h

one of the common responses to this is that it will give the large cities all the power and take away from, take away from the smaller states. what needs to be kept in mind, and not, as we go along, i hope i can talk about this as a republican, as a conservative, as someone who believes that what we're talking about here though is in the middle of a very partisan process, which i'm very much a part of, that we can talk about this as something that i believe is nonpartisan because i don't think there's political events one way or the other, and i can talk about how i came to this opinion, that i had some of the knee-jerk reactions that a lot of people have when this was first, idea was first presented to me. but in looking at it, i came to a totally different conclusion. this is not centralization. this is not taking away anything from states' rights. this is not unconstitutional. we can talk about all of those, all of those things. but what the smaller states need to realize is that it doesn't matter how many electoral votes they have, and the electoral college does present every stat

romney had an event at a large city outside of manchester which is the state's largest city. it was a packed capacity crowd. it was probably one of the most energized crowds that he's had. that's partly because they're on the band wagon of who they think is a winner. but when you kind of push some of his supporters as to how they feel about mitt romney, they're a little ambivalent. there sent the energy you would expect behind a front runner surging and that speaks to a lot of the misgivings that republicans have with his candidacy. six years ago he was considered a massachusetts moderate, he sometimes actually cast himself as to the left of ted kennedy. that gives the conservatives here in new hampshire even those who are supporting him, some degree of misgiving. they're behind him, they expect him to win, but it isn't as though they're charging ahead furiously. there's a sense of a ho-hum thing about the primary because the front runner is so far ahead and across the board, republicans aren't exactly crazed about this field. >> rick: what about the two in the back of the pa
