i think somebody should have taken up this mantle a long time. populist government has a chance to run in this race. i think mitt romney bled some. if you look from the folks he had before the last few days, he dropped 15 points in the people that voted the last few days. this is a message that will work well in south carolina, if they have the resources and if they have the time. >> donna, will it work well long-term for the democrats? >> there's no question. the democrats will look under the hood and kick the tires and make sure mitt romney has it what it takes to lead the country. i'll tell you right now, he's going to come up short. the republicans missed an opportunity to get the message out earlier. >> thanks very much for being with us tonight. >>> when we come back, what was the one thing on all the candidates' minds tonight, win or lose? we'll tell you. ♪ you're singing with a broken string ♪ ♪ tell me what you really mean ♪ do you know what you want? ♪ while beating up on yesterday ♪ ♪ rolling on, moving on [ female announcer ] the spac

he's the person most deserving of the reagan mantle.he "new york times" today counted all the times that newt gingrich mentioned ronald reagan in the debates. it was like 50 times. now, what mitt romney is saying, he has an ad up saying, you know what, reagan only mentioned you in his diary in one sentence. so you're not really the heir to the thrown". >> let's listen to that ad. restore our future the romney superpac has that ad. let's listen to a little bit of it. >> reagan criticized gingrich saying newt's ideas would cripple our defense program. reagan rejected newt's ideas on leadership and character gingrich is no ronald reagan. >> elliott abrams who also served back in treagan administration said "at the height of the bitter struggle with the democratic leadership gingrich chose to attack reagan." you have some reagan people coming out and jumping into this fray. >> they're jumping in and they're surrogates for mitt romney at this point, whether they're they've endorsed him or not. saying it was a little more complicated than tha

you have santorum claiming the huckabee mantle from 2008. and you have ron paul's supporters on the phonesrying to turn their people out. >> rose: and who do you think has the best possibility of turning out? >> well, it's hard to tell, it doesn't appear in santorum will be able to coalesce the entire huckabee coalition from last time around which leads y to believe that romney, who's been building a cam campaign here for six years might turn out to be the caucus victor. but it turns out who the persuadeable people are. there was a "des moines register" poll that showed that four out of ten people who say they're going to the caucuses might be persuaded on caucus night to support someone else. >> rose: that's 40% of the voters saying they may be persuaded to go somewhere else. how do you explain that? >> i think it's large lay factor of the enthusiasm for this particular crop of candidates. you had folks like sarah palin and haley barbour and others sort of hovering on the sidelines. a lot of iowans wanted to see chris christie maybe throw h

but there are new bands now who are positioned to take your mantle.hat he will run out of ideas or to keep reinventing yourself? and he looked at the camera with a wry smile. he said, you know, ideas come and go. but songs last forever and we have the songs. and i think that is very much the case when you talk about the time a suspect of what is -- the time a suspect of "what's going on?" and the timeless aspect of "imagine critical of those are songs that people will be -- of "imagine." those are the songs that people will be playing a hundred years from now. they are raw and speak to the masses. their conversational and they are relevant. they will always be relevant. tavis: the second song, "lets stay getter," i cannot imagine that you have seen this clip. enemy -- let me play this could for you now with the president of the united states some days ago. ♪ i' cheers and applause] ♪ and so in love with you [applause] tavis: the president of the united states, with al green in the audience, at the apollo, is riffing "let's stay together." >> i cannot

these are the deal pieces for your mantle. we have one that we would like to give to you. [applause] >> in honor of your entrepreneur real spirit on behalf of your san francisco family. [laughter] >> thank you. thank you for those exceptionally kind words. it has been an honor and privilege to serve if this department. i am so passionate about the recreation and parks department mission, and the partnership -- the divisions role within that. i truly believe what we do here is what makes every single person in this city want to live in san francisco. but especially those that are underserved. from the tiny tots that we serve, to the kids we teach how to swim, and the seniors that we teach about in his programs, to the kids that get after-school enrichment programs, we make this city exceptionally beautiful and a wonderful place to live. so it is with the very heavy heart that we made this decision, but this is a role that deserves 150%, and so does my family. so this is where i need to focus, but it has been such a pleasure working with you all, and i am so proud of what th

it was that thick and on the mantle. i can see it as clearly as i am looking at them now. keu remember looking at the pictures and beginning to pick through some of the stories. and i learned to love those stories and if you read my books as a collection, and some people have, you will see that those 2 books inform most of my writings in subtle ways, not overt, in subtle ways you can see those books and the influence that they have on my writing. daddy james would tell store reus about little girls named sara and pat and little boy named nollin and one he told in particular was one of my favorites. the 3 kids had a chore for the grandmother. take a basket of eggs to a neighbor's house. along the way they were confronted by a wolf, bear, snake, and fox. is they tricked that fox, and the bear and got them to the woods. it is a long, long summer and i don't have a contract, i said, maybe i'll try to write something, never written a picture book before. i sat at the word processor, i'll write my grandfather books. all 16 pages. it is usually 6 to 7 pages long. i sent it to my

. >> competing for the reagan mantle.rator, the real live larry king, explaining the rules of the reagan speed rounds. >> we give the candidates seven seconds and whoever can mention ronald reagan's name the most wins the round. go. [ repeating reagan ] >> ronald reagan. >> the winner of the reagan speed round is jon huntsman. >> the absurdity of it, it used to be rudy giuliani would say 9/11 in every sentence. now they say reagan. i have a theory. they don't have really positive identities themselves. they're trying to be hermit crabs. they're trying to pretend, hide themselves in the shell of the mantle of ronald reagan. they don't want to say i'm a michele bachmann, i'm a huntsman. who wants tohuntsman? i want to be a reagan. >> they have pessimistic views of the country and society. they're out there with darkness and pessimism. while the president actually looks like sunny compared to them. ronald reagan is remembered as an optimist and sunnier figure than any of these guys. >> the most moderate, the most liberal, en

. >> reporter: and in the day's lightest moment, rick perry trying to pick up the mantle as the tea party candidate, revisited his unforgettable gaffe from an earlier debate where the texas governor couldn't remember the three federal agencies that he would cut. >> it would be those bureaucrats at the department of commerce and energy and education that we're going to do away with. [ applause ] >> and that's your final answer? >> reporter: also here this afternoon in new hampshire, mitt romney told voters that there was a couple of times when he feared he would get fired in his lifetime. tonight, the romney campaign released a statement saying those times were after college and romney worked his way up the career ladder knowing his continued employment was by no means guaranteed, but, lester, they gave no specific examples. >> peter alexander. you said it, new hampshire is well known for its fiercely guarded independence, perhaps best illustrated by the state motto, live free or die. voters there, many of them, proudly independent, work as hard getting to know the candidates as the candid

has no connection or is the marker going on across the mantles because they're quite positive so we fear for inflation rate last through a belief less so and definitely less of the seven percent there is no file data. believe that the next to solve until your will be on low or. going to mcgraw's four percent or three point some think. it's not micro konami that's more fundamental i would say institutional reasons which lead to eat the basics is the rule of law corruption independent judicial system that's the main priority of where to my understanding question government and the next question presidential because traders on the fortunately and more on the one way to fight corruption in the name of this way democracy. some of the sure far more into corruption than just lation it's it's about nothing. and democracy is the real competition in political life was the real independent political party this was the real axis two of the must media including t.v. for the opposition that's the main demand of the new russian opposition which was born on the soccer square and that's the only way to f

you can mantle the quantum leap he made by integrated the military and schools. i think he had a good basis in terms of a slow but study because if you turn all of that at one time, i think it would have been a master bolt. >> first of all, thank you for sharing your experience because it's -- we're similar era in terms of schooling but -- and it's fairly recent and the numbers were still often and i share your view that the shared experiences can help all of us as we go forward and deal with life's challenges. and that for me gets to the a i firm tiff action question which is, "a," the ideal of a diverse society and particularly in education where there are opportunities for individuals to not only enrich themselves and prepare for professional life, but also to gain a broader understanding of our collective experiences as a society. so i believe that affirmative action is in its most general form is program that our country needs to continue to pursue in various forms but there are clearly pieces of it that need adjustment. president clinton for whom i worked c

out there may have this course material but then this other stuff group larger concentrations are mantles or in the size of the mine waste more so you can you can imagine that this stuff not come below near as much as this stuff so this these fine particles get blown around and they have the highest concentrations of metals in them gets deposited in a residential yard children can ingest it you know it's just a lot more mobile home long time ago residents of picher used to come out on sunday and have picnics on the beach they were actually have been picnics to use this feast fine tailings. i had been doing some research and data lead poisoning in the effects and lead poisoning and i was looking through tiny little publication that comes that head found their exposure to lead between ages seven and twenty one led to extreme obesity in later life. and i as a high school counselor dealing with young people with eating disorders and or with youth that have trouble learning how lot of dealings with those kind of camps and one particular student stood out to me and i knew that she'd grown up in

filling up their whole lot of oxygen available in the mines and that was causing oxidation of the mantle which in turn creates sulfur so. you have torque creek which starts up in kansas runs through the mining bill becomes contaminated that which is just south of picher it then rooms on the east side of commerce runs through the center of miami only into neo show river . on into green light let's just say it's been doing that since eighty three nothing but orange yucky smelly containment. this watershed has been clocking five million gallons a day since there have been clocks. and if water rolls into the mines or slides off the chap pilot flows out from the underground it's real bad news. isaac newton says the reaction to the mining is a lifetime of polluted water. and this mine system swallows any groundwater hole and then coughs up orange blood. look at these problems and say this has been here for a long time. it's not just twenty five years and superfund it's it's since money. and we all benefited from that money either directly or indirectly. it was a good thing for the united state

the painting over the mantle, wilson acted in 1918 and sent american troops to help quell the turkish invasion of armenia. and for this time people of armenia gave wilson this wonderful painting called "esperanze" or hope. >>> aside from the piano the tappest triwas a wedding gift since wilson married edith in december of 1915. he chose not to have a large, elaborate white house wedding. they had a small private ceremony from edith's house on 20th street. however, the gifts certainly were quite magnificent. the french ambassador sent this tapestry over to mrs. wilson to choose after she returned from her honeymoon. ike hoover, who was the famous celebrated usher, chief usher at the white house for over 40 years, called mrs. wilson down and said, "madam, the french ambassador is here and he has some gifts for you to choose as a wedding gift." and edith says, "oh, well by all means please escort the ambassador upstairs." and hoover said, "no, madam, you'll need to come down to the east room." well, that should have been an indication that it was no small gift. ambassador had brought alo

so the republicans have that mantle on them to get back to those days.edad mentioned that newt gingrich had mentioned your dad's name 61 times. the way things are going in florida right now he should have used it 62 times. peggy newton had an article in "the wall street journal." your dad did so many things. he brought so many people together. she said in the end the main thing your dad was was positive. he had a message of building and newt gingrich seems to have the opposite message. he has one of destruction. don't you see an inherent tension between the two men? >> you can play that on all sides? come on, this is a campaign, this is a primary. i'll put this on newt gingrich's shoulders to say he is the policy of destruction and mitt romney's just the purist and wonderful person, but the reality is you look back at republican presidential contenders, when they have put up a moderate, bob dole, john mccain, what have you, they've taken losses at the presidential level. when they put up somebody who says they're conservative or runs on a conservative me

revolution begins and becomes apparent one doesn't sit on his porch and watch one gets his gun off the mantle and kisses the family goodbye on his way out to the field oh yeah all the wars on the kill i want to have prayer started you know we have the occupy wall street movement on top of the arab spring movement but this kill hollywood movement is really interesting because it sets the sting for a civil war in america yet domestically in california with think northern california silicon valley the tech community versus hollywood the old oligarchic neo feudal caste system but so reformed broker however josh brown is that talking in particular about why combinator this is a startup seed founder and they looked at this situation they saw sopa and they said hollywood appears to have peaked if it were an ordinary industry film camera say or typewriters it could look forward to a couple of decades of peaceful decline but this is not an ordinary industry the people who run it are so mean and so politically connected that they could do a lot of damage to civil liberties and the world economy on the

you're not authentic as a guy who's an outsider, who can take us on and pick up the mantle of the republican party and ultimately you're too compromised ultimately to go against president obama. i think that kwumt was made and think everybody was ready to come and make that argument today. >> here's howard fineman, david. >> i wonder if there was anything that really surprised you. you were right there within a few feet of them. you were asking very tough questions. they were going after each other. what surprised you about either the dynamics or the context of what they said today? >> well, i think what surprised me a little bit is governor romney, my thought from last sniet on the other debate was he was trying to be very cool, be above the fray. i think he was happy to see that paul and santorum were sparring. i think here he understand that, a, he was very much a target and there was no getting aunld it and he had to fight back. i saw a lot more fight in him today in just a style is tick piece. certainly in the end between romney and gingrich. here's another point. i think this is import

whoever comes out number one is going to wear that mantle and take it into the next state which is new hampshire. may help, may not. better to be ahead than behind. >> some are predicting ron paul and santorum will double everts to slow romney down. stay tuned. debates and another primary state ahead in new hampshire next weekend. >> though the iowa caucuses are pivotal, they're not necessarily an indicator of things to come. in the last five races without a republican incumbent, the winner in iowa has won the nomination just twice, dole in 1996 and bush in the year 2000. the last election 2008 mike huckabee was the winner iowa. tonight's caucus is only the beginning. different states are holding primaries and caucuses nearly every week up till super tuesday which is march 6th. however, this year, super tuesday isn't quite as super. instead of 24 states like we had in 2008, just ten states hold their primaries on super tuesday of this year. and that means california might play a significant role in our primary in june. california, montana, new jersey, new mexico, and south dakota will
