lutz! what do you think sounds like the better idea for a new show?without a host, just the voice of the dead lady from desperate housewives; or a reality show with a lot of super hot nannies who move into a house and help fat kids lose weight? never mind. this television programming stuff is just one unpredictable ass ache, and i want you to get it out of here. kenneth, please. come in. is this about the clementine i took off the actors' snack table? because the catering lady already talked to me.

police say lutz was arrested for trespassing. his table was set up outside a private office building on the plaza and not on public property. that distinction led to a confrontation with police the following day when protestors tried to set up a table again. attorney rachel scoma with the group canvass for a cause says the law allows them to do it. >> this is something we do every single day under robins vs. pruneyard. that's why were able to stand in front of targets and in shopping centers, registering voters. and so we have a very specific interest in making sure that free speech is upheld here in this privately owned section of the civic center. >> reporter: but the police disagreed. assistant chief boyd long told scoma registering voters was fine, but setting up the table wasn't allowed and could lead to someone being arrested. >> you do not have the right to have the tables here. you do have the right to be here and do voter registration and we're going to support that. thank you. >> then treat us equally, sir. >> mic check

[applause] and of course our library director. [applause] i would like to take you all back in time to january of 2009 and play a little game with you. i want you to imagine waking up on the morning of january 21 of that year to learn that you are about to become the governor of one of our 50 states. now, we are going to blindfold you and ask that you through a big guard at the map of the united states. and whichever state it lands on, that is yours. you get to run it. now some people here are probably in visioning that their darts lands on say california, so we would finally have someone in charge with enough common sense. [laughter] [applause] to turn this state around. some might be thinking colorado for the great skiing. others might be thinking florida for its winter or vermont for his colorful fall. but now i want you to imagine that regardless of where you are aiming, you're darts lands sq

town hall meeting with iowa moms yesterday, he showed another side when a republican pollster, frank lutz, asked about his mother who suffered from depression. >> it comes directly from dealing -- you know, something, the feeling -- the dealing real problems of real people. >> reporter: when we met up with gingrich earlier in the day, he was all-smiles, despite a pummeling of tv advertising that's caused him to sink to fifth place in the most recent poll. >> i am committed to running a positive campaign. and we have to find a way -- >> reporter: why? >> because i just think politics has become a really nasty, vicious negative. and i think it's disgusting. and i think it's dishonest. and i think the people who are running the ads know they're dishonest. and i think a personal will do that to try to get to be president, offers no hope they'll be any good as president. >> reporter: mitt romney feels more confident than ever about iowa. asked new jersey governor chris christie to campaign for him here. >> it's time to have a real change in washington. >> reporter: the race is wide-open. >> yo

this is newt gingrich interviewed on the campaign trail by a republican pollster and strategist frank lutz. newt gingrich was asked about his mother and memories about his mother and he got teary eyed. some have speculated maybe that would hurt him with caucusgoers. maybe that would make them think he's too soft and squishy. it was a touching moment, i think, and maybe humanized newt gingrich who at times has been considered plastic and concrete. he's the type of guy that's very hard to get your arms around. i think at that moment yesterday was a very touching moment. it also shows, fred, how exhausted these candidates have been from campaign event to campaign event. their days start at 6:30 in the morning and they close late at night. i think that's what we saw yesterday, a confluence of exhaustion, quite frankly poignant memories about his mother. >> meantime the iowa caucus is just a few days away. however, one has to wonder, paul, if the outcome of iowa, how greatly it might influence the first primary to take place in new hampshire. >> well, here is one way it could influence it. we m

[inaudible conversations] [cheers and applause] >> since capturing a strong majority in 2010, republican governors have already transformed the nation's politics. they've provided a clear contrast between republican executive leadership and barack obama. lower taxes. balanced budgets. >> we can create an environment in ohio where we can create jobs rather than listing them. >> a laser like focus on jobs on one hand. >> versus higher taxes, record deficits and uncertainty and indecision on the other. but in 2012, the republican governors association's impact will grow even larger. republicans love a governor or election for governor in all but one of 2012 critical swing states. in the rga will be on offense in aid of the 11 states holding governors races next year. of those 11 states with governors races next year, nine of them will also b

then dismantle the program, and as a result toyota became the largest carmaker in the world, and bob lutz, at the time of developing the volt, had sold all his stock in the company. they had a lot more expectations for the volt to be a game changer in the industry, and quite frankly 10,000 cars is a joke compared to what this company, general motors, at the time of the industrial revolution in the 1950's -- what was good for general motors was good for america. host: thank you, caller. guest: there has been a lot of false starts of electrical vehicles. there's a great new movie that has the interesting here on that. there were a lot of vehicles 100 years ago. it is early to say whether this latest iteration will be the time that a leftist vehicles take off. it was the. -- whether the tiny electric vehicles takeoff. -- the electric vehicles take off. it will depend on if there is research to make them better. in terms of general motors, they are poised to retake their spot as the world's biggest auto maker epiphany tell of this year. one of the reasons they developed the volt was to compet

newt gingrich is with frank lutz. you can see the rally live here on c-span.um told a town hall meeting. 45 miles up side of des moines. you can see it live here on c- span starting at 6:30 p.m. eastern. the vice chairman of the democratic national committee held a press conference to discuss why the party believes mitt romney is the wrong choice for america. this is about 15 minutes. >> when are we starting? are we good? my name is keith. i am a student. i am here to address you about the growing concerns i have about mitt romney's presidential candidacy. i should be back home for the break. i made the decision to stay. young voters need a voice in this election. voters across america will decide about mitt romney's candidacy. his moral responsibility into the rhetoric does not match with reality. yesterday, he said, i am not going to add hundreds of billions of dollars to the deficit. the fact is, his tax plan will result in $6.50 trillion in deficit. that is a deficit that would lead to disastrous consequences for my generation. in new hampshire, when a stu

and i am joined by two great professionals in politics business, make lutz, maybe the best known focus group cannot tear since mozart or some kind of conductor. and glen bolger has done tremendous work for rga and glenn's public opinion strategies one of those premier public polling firms. want to say thanks for the work you've done, including what he presented to us this morning. and then maybe tell us a little something about politics. bobby jindal was held at 66% of the vote in his reelection campaign. you may think 66, the other guy got 34. actually the person who finished second finish 48 points behind bobby. so i think you're going to enjoy hearing from each one of them. and i'm not going to let them have an opening statement. we are going to straight out and regular discussion. i'll just start off with you, glenn, because of the survey did this morning. the 2010 election was the biggest repudiation of the president's policy in a midterm election perhaps in american history. the election is almost exclusively about jobs, the economy, taxes, spending, deficit, dad. what about the
