president jimmy carter, the unemployment rate was headed down in the leadup, but in the april, may, june, springtime frame, unemployment was rising. we all know carter lost his re-election bid despite an improving jobs picture. one more. let's look at a trend lien for a president who won a second term. ronald reagan despite a punishing unemployment rate, the top 10% during his first term because it was heading in the right direction, downward, voters gave him four more years. david corn, sounds like an s.a.t. question, i know. does it make sense to you? logic then dictates that right now we're in the time sequence that matters most, not post labor day. >> i take that point. also i think we live in a different world where information is absorbed and chewed up and spit out faster than back in those days. people's impressions are more subject to change. back and forth between now and the election, i do think that the weakness that mitt romney has shown as a candidate is, you know, i'd say strategically important. and can overturn a lot of the other trend issues. he has time to find his foot

because in the leadup to the war in iraq in between twooe, a war that cost 4,500 americans theirless, 33,000 wounded, more than 100,000 iraqi dead, millions of refugee, $1 trillion and growing. we adopted worst case assumptions about a phantom. we have to be careful not to do that again. we have to be careful about having worst case assumptions about the prospects of diplomacy. we can talk ourselves into saying that's it, that meeting didn't go well, that's it, it's time for military action. i don't think that matt is saying that but i think a lot of people who pick up on matt's argument and we'll them about in town and others on talk shows do make that argument, they're looking, waiting for any sign that sanctions or diplomacy have failed not because they want them to succeed but because they want war. we have to be careful about that. lastly we have to be very careful about adopting best case assumptions about how the world will go and what the aftermath will be like. all we know about war -- i've been involved in pentagon stuff for a long time now. they're all klee share in the pen

we speem i think have all paid attention to what mitt romney has said in the leadup in this primary racef ways tried to marginalize them, denny great a lot of the hispanic experience in america but he seems to be trying to soften that stance presumably going into the general election. what do you make of it, and do you think his panic voters, how do you think that plays out among latinos and hispanics notice u.s.? >> alex, he has gone too far to the right on the issue of immigration for him to start softening and makeny substantive change. really, this is something we've seen since 2010, the republican party take a very harsh stance against immigration. what's so interesting is that the republican party during the bush years was very open to reforming immigration, had a very compassionate view towards immigration reform. and what we've seen is a 180 over the past two years. now mitt romney is trying to figure out, okay, i've got to the court some latino voters. we have a lot of latinos in the key swing states of colorado, nevada, florida. how am i going to do this. frankly, it's too litt

he campaigned with romney for four straight days in the leadup to the wisconsin primary. marco rubio today. i think this is all aimed at how does mitt romney work with these people? does he like them? does he not like them? i think that matters. we assume all politicians know one another and have a personal relationship but they don't. a lot of times they're running in parallel to one another. so i think these kinds of things less maybe even the public event than what goes on privately, the conversations and how they feel together does matter. chemistry, it matters in sports, it matters in politics. >> some of the players have recently been asked about it and have done their version of a tap dance. let's watch. >> i can't speak for governor romney and i can't speak for senator rubio, but 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 him. >> i think he would be a fantastic vice president. >> romney, portman? does that have a ring to it. >> i

. >> the leadup to the draft you always have things come out where people are knocked down.r many years ago there was a 6'8" point guard who came out and people said well he doesn't have an outside shot and the stuff he does won't translate to the pros. magic johnson had a pretty decent career. i think when you look at what's going on right now it's to be expected. to say that right now this guy cannot be what the redskins hope he will be, i don't buy that at all. >> to have a successful season record wise. what do the redskins have to be? is it more than just record? i feel like if you're on this upward trend if you finish 7 to 9 you might feel good at the end of the year. >> i think it has to be more than a record. you hit it on the head. next year to me is about the development of rg iii and the development of the team around him. so if he's doing the types of things that reinforce this positive belief that so many people have about him right now, i don't care what the record is almost. as long as he is showing the progress to where in 2013, okay. now this team is ready t

remember in the leadup to the health care debate, and nancy pelosi said, look, you know, she suggestede people are going to lose their jobs in congress, but you've got to do the right thing. it can't be all about your re-election battle. that's really paraphrased, but that seemed to be the essence of what she was saying, and then we know happened in the 2010 elections. >> well, i don't think they want to. megyn: you think now there may have been a change of heart. >> i think the definition used in the military was would you go into battle behind this person thinking you had a reasonable chance of coming out alive, and would you go into the election thinking you had a reasonable chance of getting reelected? >> it's ironic that people like governor manchin in west virginia are looking at re-election, and they're -- megyn: now he's senator. >> we can't do it attached to the top of the ticket. it is presenting a unique problem. bernard's right, in particularly red states where democrats are holding seats that maybe are representative with social values kind of representative in the culture

sanford is, of course, the epicenter and right now there is a lot of tension in this town in the leadup to that special announcement that will come from the special prosecutor at 6:00. what we do know is that she has said quite plainly and this was the press release, the wording and it is very carefully worded. the release says, quote, miss corey is prepared, rather, to release new information regarding the trayvon martin shooting death. it doesn't say anything about charges, but that is what cnn has learned and that is what is much anticipated here. there are those who are divided. some wish to see george zimmerman arrested and put on trial. others say it is clearly a case of stand your ground and had the right to defend himself and shot trayvon martin. i had a conversation a short time ago with the mayor who says we are, prepared, unquote. what he means is city has been preparing for weeks for some sort of determination by the special prosecutor, whether it's the charge or not to charge. they say they're ready either way, reaching out to other communities if they need backup. they don
